The Panny 37LZ800 is in a price-class of it's own compared to the other 2. It's Full HD with Panny's best IPS-Alpha panel. Obviously, it is by far better than the other 2 budget LCD TVs. Sure you didn't mean the "LX800"?

If you're only going to get a HD Ready LCD, you might as well add a few hundred bucks and get a 42" Panasonic PV8 plasma.

true.. plasma u can use for whole life because its most advance in technologies. lcds keep changing and adding new features

True enough....PQ of the PV8 is far better than my Sammy 37" LCD tv that I have.

50" Full HD PY800 only around RM 9k (can get less than that if you got jalan). If you calculate screen size, it's worth it. I almost bought a 46" Samsung A650 LCD which is around RM 8k.

Thanks for the reply..... but 42" plasma seems too big for my living room.... i think 37" is the best size for my house.....

For the panny ... i think is LX800 la ... thanks for correcting me

If i insist of 37"..... what brand & model is best for 37".....

emmm...do you mean there wont be any progress in plasma's technology anymore?

u can view panasonic(sg) website for their latest news in the latest plasma that they are doing. can say the progresses are very minor only.. if u compare plasma to lcd.. lcd are walking bigger steps and bcoz of that u will miss alot more latest features from the lcd u own today. hope u guys understand what im trying to say.. hehe cheers

Don't go by room size. Size of the TV depends on your viewing distance. Tell us so we can help. Also, type of TV (LCD/Plasma) depends on what you are viewing most often: is it Astro, DVDs, Blu-Ray, PS3, PC, etc?

The more info you can give us, the better our recommendations will suit your need.

how bout giving me your recommendations? im 10ft away from my wall which i will be mounting. im using it for bd/ps3 only..

My viewing distance is about 10 ft ... the LCD i buying is mainly for Astro, DVDs, TV programmes and PC only.... im not really a gamer...

Hope all this will help .... thanks

doesnt this mean lcd would have more potentials in the near future?

10ft means minimum 42". 37" is too small at that distance. Even 50" will look okay at 10ft. Astro, DVDs, TV will look best on Plasma. Plasma's are a little iffy on the PC part though (cause of burn-in issues with extended PC usage).

If you're going to use more than 2 hours of PC at a stretch, then go with LCD. I'd say, Sharp for PC, Panny for upscaled DVD, and LG60 (Scarlet) or Toshiba for Astro, DVD, TV.

My budget is around RM3k and looking for a LCD TV. any recommendation?

bro.. how bout me? also 10ft away using it for BD/PS3.. plasma or lcd best??

can anyone share their best picture settings for panny LCD TV..can't seem to get mine to show nice pic quality

between plasma or lcd i will stick with PLASMA. I shopped around for awhile as my usage mainly astro and dvd i decided on a pana plasma and the thing looks good!!

I think for u.........go for the Panny Full HD 50". I am in a similar sitting position using it for BD & DVD mostly 'action' movie & some movie got dark scene ( as in horror movie ). Fast action & dark scene is not suitable for LCD got blurring effect & cannot show the dark part. Poke in to my 'review' on plasma ( it is in my signature ).
Just my 2 cents worth! Have a nice day!

thanks bro for the recommendations

Get a plasma with at least 100Hz sure it will not flicker!

plasma 100hz? i thought plasma has more than that with its gas thingy?
