full HD vs HD plasma tv.
how can u compare them bro?
different category lah
Added on July 17, 2008, 11:57 pmwell,
if i were you, i would rather invest my money into panny 42PY800 or 50PY800.
for the purchase of 42PY800, i still have RM1k extra money for investing another gadget.
and i only add on another RM1k to get 50" bigger tv screen to enjoy even better motion movie.
actually u focus on the "FULL HD LCD sticker" or the picture quality?
paying RM7800 for a 46" LCD TV and to watch poor astro signal (i believe 60% of your watching program), i dont think is a worth of money. u will cry if u notice how poor the astro result is on the screen.
if people are to say that astro will improve the signal, and so LCD tv will be better. by that time, plasma tv can even display out higher and better picture result since now plasma tv is better than LCD tv on astro channel.
i am sorry but i dont get the logic !
please dont buy too much into the FULL HD crap!
42PY800 is around RM8K similar price to the 50PV80. I suggest you get the 50" plasma. Firstly, we are going digital in what year? 2010? By the time there is HD transmission in Malaysia, the HDTV probably kaput already. Or if you are okay only getting your HD source from amazon, so be it. But then the 50"PV model should do remarkably fine on BD.
there is just no comparison for LCD vs Plasma! The reason the LCD is still around and not totally pushed out of the market is because they are cheaper! With plasma now getting cheaper, LCD's time is near!
furthermore
ANYONE from the industry can tell you that 1080p is not what separate PV800 with PY800. As Sunauto, HTkaki and any other people who sale HDTV, they will say its the step gradation (blackness) and the contrast ratio that are separating the model. Industry experts said said ratio and gradation come before resolution in plasma!
The reason that PY800 picture looks better is because PY800's contrast ratio is 2x that of PV800 and the gradation is more than 1K more.
PV800 = 15,000 native contrast, shades of gradation = 4,096
PY800 = 30,000 native contrast, shades of gradation = 5,120
I would jump on a PV800 with 30,000 native contrast, shades of gradation = 5,120 but not FULL HD anytime!

I am totally agree with bloodysick. Plasma is the way to go for 40 inches above
LCD would only b good if we have digital HD TV reception in Malaysia.
LCD is good because its cheap. that is the only advantage! Plasma can do HDTV programming with no problem!
