your py800 got flicker prob with ps3 on 24p? funny..

The problem with u is that u read way too many review and forums. In fact I'm guilty of that too...
Remember one thing, there will never be a perfect LCD/Plasma. Also, factor in your viewing environment. I'm pretty sure a lot of ppl here have less than ideal viewing environment. Bottom line is, if you are happy with the PQ, just purchase it.
Sometimes I wonder, what's the point of "calibrating" it to perfection when u are not satisfied with the end results. These days, as long as the picture is satisfactory, I'm ok with it. I rather enjoy my movie rather to constantly nit pick on the PQ. It gets pretty tiresome.

Can I nit pick about my PY800? Sure I can.. I already found faults with it the first day I had it... but like I said above, I've grown tired of finding perfection which i know will not exist within my budget. 

Oh well, just my 2 cents.

I doubt anyone can answer your question here.. how many of us here will buy both 800 and 850..I think the more important question is, even if we have both units side by side, how many will have the proper equipment to detect that the 850 has "less" accurate primary colors?

I guess what I'm trying to say is..don't read too much of these reviews. U are buying a TV to enjoy la.

I doubt many Malaysians would care about "accurate" color reproduction. I'll bet you 99% of the man on the street would look at a perfectly-calibrated accurate colored set and say "why your high-end TV color so dull one-ah?, buy-lah Sony Bravia, color so nice...".

One man's meat is another's poison. Once you tune your set to your personal preference, almost any TV is going to look the same, cause you would have set it to look the same.

After messing around with so many TVs, I'd say that all the TVs are very close together in terms of PQ, once you've tuned it a bit. So what's the deciding factor for me? Long warranty, baby.

... and, err, good PQ of course...

but it was Panasonic's 5-year manufacturer warranty that did it for me.

HDMI what? Think Display Port!

APPLE is already whining about HDMI saying that it cant even transmit resolution to its 30" beyond 1080p monitors laugh.gif Display port is license free and can support higher resolution than HDMI.

me thinking PS4 and XBox 720 will have Display port for gaming beyond FULL HD - literally making Blu-ray - secondary in term of picture quality

LCD quality catching up to Plasma

Backlit screens looking good

LCD SCREENS sporting new backlight technology which is supposed to provide them with plasma picture quality are hitting the shops in the next couple of months.

So far LCDs have been doing well only in the budget and smaller screen markets because the picture quality has not been as good as plasma.

But Samsung and Sony are introducing new LCD television sets to Australia that feature built-in LED (light-emitting diode) backlighting, which they claim provides improved picture quality while slashing energy consumption.

Standard fluorescent tubes used in regular LCD TVs cannot be individually controlled. The new technology is made up of numerous tiny lights which adapt to the picture and allow much sharper colour and contrast.

Kurt Jovais, director of marketing at Samsung Australia, told the great unwashed that LED backlighting was a quantum change in the technology. We guess he means that the technology can only be seen if you are watching it.

Samsung’s first batch of televisions with the technology under the bonnet are called the series 9. It has a dynamic contrast ratio of 2,000,000:1 compared with the 10,000:1 to 70,000:1 range of ratios normally associated with LCD.

This means more brightness, colour, and the contrast that is on a par with plasma ratios. µ

are plasmas still susceptible to burn ins. i'm planning on getting one for gaming. should i consider lcds instead?

How long a stationery image appear on plasma screen will cause a burnt in?

Are we talking about burn-in or image retention? I tot major plasma producers already claim that burn in won't happen in the newer generations plasma?

are these producers hiding something from us, the consumer here?

Anyway, if you know of someone who had burn-in in their plasma then mind to share under wat conditions the burn in sets in? game for hours, astro's logo etc?

Thanks

Spotted a 37-inch Samsung LCD TV (Series 4) ad (Courts) in The Star yesterday.  I think it is an ideal size (between 32 and 40 inches) for most bedrooms.  It puzzles me why 37-inch LCD TVs are hard to come by in Malaysia with an exception for Panasonic and perhaps another brand or two. Most LCDs sold here are 32 inches and thereafter 40 inches and above.

You have raised a valid point about the distance.  It's about 8ft between my usual position on the bed and the TV.  A 32-inch unit, obviously, will be small while a 40-inch unit will be just too large for an average bedroom in newer homes in Malaysia.  Not many have the luxury to live in a 24-80 ft link home with bigger bedrooms.

Perhaps, a 32-inch TV will be adequate if I were to live in a "pigeon hole" room in a condo at HK or Spore!

This is my experince, I have the panny 42 Plasma 80HM. It has been burn in now more than 200 hrs. If i watch a movie say Star World after 3 hours there will be image retention of the Star World logo. It can be seen on whiteback grounds for maybe 20-30 minutes when i switch channels. It is gone after that. This is image retention only not Burn In image. I am not so worried about burn in any more.

Bought it from COURTS. Only 2 set left when i bought it.   There is one on display, and i choose the other one which is still in the box. They offer 7 days free exchange policy and standard 1 year manufacturer warranty from Panasonic. 
I just bought a What HI FI? Sound and Vision magazine this morning, and found out that this model has won the BEST Premium 32inch HDTV AWARDS for 2007. Nuff said.

Just checking the UK version of Panasonic LX700MK, the 1 main difference is the HDMI input. The UK version got 3 HDMI input, and our Malaysia only got 2 Input. Hehehe. Others are the same.
