Hi there,Anyone pls advise me.I'm going to get another 42" but do not know which one should i buy,LCD back or Plasma ? Currently i have Sharp Aquos 37LC53M(100Hz) and my distance view is at 6feet at room.Need to hook up with only PS3 and watch movies as well(DVD,BD) for my new setup.My taste now for Plasma coz i was very impress with Pana TH-42PV8H(400Hz).Does this model power consumption high ? The sales man mentioned to me that all Plasma power consumption are very high compare with LCD,but i read the spec was not really high power consumption,was it true ? And futher more it is 100,000hrs long life but the salesman told that it is almost same lifespan as LCD.
I play game approx 4hrs with my current Sharp LCD,observed now my eyes are tired after play games.Watch dvd and encountered pic not impress as compare to Plasma.

Kindly pls advise.
TQ in advance.

What about heat issue on Plasma ? My current room does not install air-cond.Will heat issue affected at Plasma without air-cond ?

I agree with mikapoh regarding Plasma tv.I had compared again both side by side with Panny plasma and Sharp lcd 42".Panasonic PV80H and Sharp 42LC53M which hookup with Sharp BD player and played disc title Transporter.Both tv's i had tune setup same setting at std configuration.
Upon played both tv's,you can see much different with these two players whereby details,sharpness and rich color are available at Panny and especially at dark scene but not with Sharp.
I'm also looking forward to get Panny Plasma.Hope this will help.

Can somebody kindly explain what is 400Hz sub field drive for Panny Plasma PV80H ?
I open the menu screen and observe only can select the 100Hz or 50Hz only.Kindly pls advise.
TQ in advance.

went to others shop and observed Pioneer Kuro clearing old stock model(HD Ready) at afforable prices between 5~6k but i forgot to write on which model liao.will go back again later to copy down which model for clearing sale.cannot be deny that this old Pioneer model are better pics quality compare to Pana PV80H and i believe that Pana PV800H shall be able to fight with this Pioneer(HD Ready).
Cheers

By the way may i know how you observe the lag can reduce ? Mind to share yr experiences ? I do have Sharp model with 100Hz,played football games encountered lag most at ps3 but not at fps games.

go to queensbay mall,there are promotion for panny plasma near kfc.panny 42-pv80h promotion approx 4k,5yr warranty,foc hdmi and svideo cbl.

these shop lines up all Pana LCD and Plasma models.i personally saw they line up PV8H,PV80H and PV800H,while use playback source at 1080p,forgot to ask whether use BD player or HDD.the promotion offer if purchase PV800H,BD player sell at 1/2 prices.this promotion ends till 31 Aug 08.

saw at Gurney Plaza also have these promotion from best denki but prices are more expensive than Queensbay Mall.pls take note that Queensbay Mall are not from Best Denki.

hope you'll enjoy to compare upon decission made.

why not try it out by yrself to test for you better understanding.

Went to SEC to compare between LG PG20R and Pana PV80H,both pics setting to std configuration and playback BD movies Ice Age 2.Wah,there are both pics different between both of this model and of course LG prices are more cheaper than Pana.Hence provides 2yr warranty and add RM150 for another 3yrs warranty which are total 5yrs warranty.LG are more details to Pana on dark scene which are impress.
As i look at these LG features spec and i was shock about it while compare Pana spec.Hmmm.... but however my fren now had been confuse which one to purchase.

Bro,can explain more details regarding bug/low mtbf part.Don't really understand.
TQ in advance.
