ermm...lets say you have one set of sofa (1+2+3).
im sure most people will allocate the 3-seater sofa direct to the tv and the 1-seater and 2-seater sofa will be on the both sides.
viewing angle is not a problem when guests/friends are not around.
somehow, if there is a party, it could an issue already.

imagine that a 40" LCD tv without an IPS panel, only 40% of the guests can enjoy clear view from the center and the remaining 60% (those who sit or stand at both sides) will enjoy whitish scene.

for those who see the whitish scene from the side, if friends, im pretty sure they will joke at your tv by saying that "your lousy tv is not clear from the side".

IPS panel on the LCD tv is something similar to the power steerling of an vehicle.
yes, most people will drive straight most of the time. when they need to make a U-turn or 3-point turn, is it easy with the power steerling?

there is a difference when u play a SD DVD on a normal DVD player and an up-conversion DVD player.
the latter player can deliver smoother images.

however, i dare not put SD DVD into my PS3, i takut rosak the device.

panasonic DVD-S54 will do.

lol.

i think the best choice is still 42PY800.

you cannot compare plasma tv with LCD tv lah

i got display 42PV80 and 46A550 side-by-side at shop. well, A550 immediately turn me off when i play Planet Earth BD.
the picture noise is so obvious. i doubt sony Full HD has the similar weakness.

between 42PY800 and 42PV80, you barely notice the difference.unless you play PS3 winning eleven then only u see something nice.

the theory that Plasma tv consumes more power than LCD TV doesnt hold anymore.

from Panasonic website
plasma tv advantages

power consumption

Due to the difference in display method, plasma and LCD tvs consume electricity in different ways.
The power consumed by a plasma display varies according to the brightness of each scene (LCD tv is constant for both bright and dark scene all the time). that's why plasma tv is energy-efficient.

RM 6700 for W400.

brother, no need to wait and survey anymore lah. really special price.

full HD has 1920 x 1080 pixels whereas HD has 1080x768 pixels.

higher the pixels, smoother the picture.

if u cant get the picture, u imagine that u sprinkle 1000 biji rice and 10,000 biji rice in a 2x2ft boxes,which one makes the gap smaller?

smaller the gap, smoother the picture on the screen.

if u gonna use the tv as PC plug in most of the time, plasma tv is not suitable for u.

however, LCD tv 40" doesnt perform as good as plasma tv in term of astro signal and movie watching.

if u think that u seldom connect the pc into tv, u may consider for plasma tv.

i dont see a point that buy a 40" lcd tv to use as PC input and let go the quality of plasma tv on astro and dvd play.

Comparing PC output on Plasma and LCD TVs, I believe LCD TV will perform better in terms of text readability. If you just want to watch downloaded videos, I don't think there's much difference. The output quality really depends on the quality of the videos. I used to have one LCD TV in my room. I watched videos (playing from my laptop) on it and the picture quality is worse than the laptop monitor. And also... I used to connect my mac mini to the Plasma TV in my house. Again, video quality is ok but not as good as ordinary LCD monitor. In both instances, I got to watch the videos on a bigger screen of course.

If you really want to find out how computer output on LCD/Plasma TVs is, bring your laptop or the downloaded videos to me, we can do a field test.

well, a very simple request when buy the PY800 or PV80 or PV8 from this so-called legendary shop in SS2.

PLEASE BEG them to chop their company stamp on the warranty card and then post it to panasonic.

panasonic will send you a big 'thank you' feedback.

there are people dare to buy, but i doubt they dare to ask this simple request.

we shall see who is the first Hancock or daredevil here.

Please report it to us when you DID it.

if u manage to see the results by yourself, i mean together with the LCD tv and Plasma tv side-by-side comparison, u will have an answer in ur mind why is it panny plasma tv good.

lol, LE8 is just the basic entry model, how can u compare it with LX80??

37LZ800 is the next coming new panasonic LCD TV KING. RCP=RM5499

about your above question, you really have to see the difference by your eyes.

Full HD TV is something like a car engine, i.e. 1 car is VVT engine, another one is VVTi engine.

for a non-car expertise, one wouldnt realise the difference between VVT and VVTi engine.

hi bro,

recommendation models for 37" LCD tv is the panny model 37LX80.

since ur budget is around RM4k, u can also consider panny 42PV8 42" plasma tv.

the picture result is significantly different.

no matter what sources u wanna play, plasma tv espcially panny brand gives you the best picture results.

wat is the size of your living hall?

bro, im talking about the living hall area..

if big enough, u can go for 50".

if u think that 50" is too much, 42" would be your alternate choice.

tom_k3nt gotcha best recommendation~

panny 42PV8 and 42PV80 got price adjustment.

it is going to be the same until end of august.

wait or no wait, the price not gonna fluctuate again.

no free lunch? lol

panny 42" plasma tv now at the competitive price yet offering 5 years warranty for free,

who is the second mover?

no need to ask is it worth to buy sony product.

no matter how special price you get, sony product is always more expensive than other brands.

KLV-32S400 =RM2499
32LE8 = RM2199
32A330 = RM1999

if u got time, u better see the results by your eyes.

full HD lcd is something to make u feel good with the name, i dont see any advantage on Full HD LCD.

when u put a PV80 next to A550, A550 looks so cacat even on HD video clips

204hours consider quite a new display set.

204/10hours per day switching on = 20.4 days only.

since u paid by credit card, i dont see any chance to cancel the transaction if senheng manager has done the credit card settlement.

u r dealing with a big company, every matters must go through system system system.

to be honest, people go to senheng to buy things because they tamak at senheng's so-called 'promotion, free gift, special price'.
