who?? care to share who selling so cheap??

U got PM bro

LOL I reckon he/she got two.

Actually, Plasma does not hide Astro's artifacts. Most Plasma TV have better engine to scale-up 480i signal into the Panel's Native Resolution.

LCD's engine so bad that it create lots of artifacts, in conjunction with the Motion Blur effect, it looks worst.

Tranditional CRT TV looks fine just because it display 480i exactly what it get from Astro.

So, technically, a very good up-scaling device will make Astro PQ better but not much because Astro give you high compression data already which is so bad. (G-I-G-O)

im currently look for 50py800 with 0% installment.. where can i find?

Harvey Norman, Best Denki, htkaki

and iambloodysick too

but bro im from sarawak miri.. how to do transcation @@

htkaki bro whats ur price...

Actually, that's not entirely true. Most Plasmas have an inferior engine compared to some LCDs (notably Philips and Sony). It is very obvious when you are viewing HD content through both.

However, Plasma's superior blacks coupled with the pixel structure design produces somewhat softer picture with deeper color. This 'softness' is what hides the artifacts. It's there, just not so obvious. If you switch up to a Monster Cable, you will see it more obviously, especially if you also upscale to 1080p.

LCDs, on the other hand, are just bleedingly sharp with high contrast, and because you don't have a screen-door effect like plasma, artifact-ridden areas tend to get all mushy into each other. To over-ride this, most LCDs will have a more powerful noise reduction system, so it will look smoother, but you lose detail.

Mainly, it's all in the pixel design of the 2 competing technologies.

thats mean if u want superb viewing using blu-ray players they work better on plasmas right? and cables do help alot in enchancing. where as other thing which are below 1080p u can choose to use lcd..

I recommend Panasonic TX-32LX800

me myself , I'm using a Panasonic TX-37LX800 as well !

Oh! Right, you are correct.
Almost forget that Plasma has better color/black level, which show smooth color/black tone where LCD not able to reach this level.

Maybe can explain in this way:
Plasma almost able to reproduce all the colour whatever the source is, but LCD's 8bit/10bit panel that had very limited color/black level range. In order to display the whole picture which had too much colour, it will try to round up/down some of the color pixel to the nearest one, which make the color looks obvious. Some more LCD always use dynamic contrast to sharpen the picture which make it 'WOW' in some case but make it worst if the source is so bad.

BTW, peoples keep saying that LCD is not fast enough that's why has Motion Blur effect. But what I heard is, it is not the problem of the speed, it is because LCD do not have screen-door effect, which keep the whole picture on at every moment. So, the problem is human's eye. When the picture light stay too long in your eyes, you will have some kind of image memory effect in your brain, that's when the picture frame change to next, you have both frame in your mind which cause the blur effect. Is is true ?
And that's why lot of LCD now start implement 100Hz, which is either insert a 'calculated' image or a black image to shorthen the time of each frame on the screen to prevent memory effect.

what about plasma superb motion vs lcd 100Hz??
