Bro and sis , i wanna ask some noob question here.

currently looking for a 40inchi lcd tv.

my main question is go 720 or 1080p ?

because my family always watch astro ja , if get 1080 would be a little waste , no ?

but at another side , 1080p image quality definitely is when watching blu-ray movie.

another question is , will 1080p tv give blur/bad image when playing 720p movie ? 

do you guys think astro will upgrade to HD channel ?

viewing distance err around 6-7m 

why you suggest to get > 42inch if going 1080p ?

I think you can still watch movie in 1080p if your tv is only in 720p resolution.

I have once saw the panny pv-8 displayed superb picture quality when feeded with blu ray disc in one of the panny promotion fair recently. Its PQ is much better compared to normal dvd play. Again, if viewing distance is within 6 feet I guess. If too far apart, eveything you see is about the same. Be it a FULL hd, HALF hd, SEMI hd or whatever D.....all will look just a square picture projected from a square frame.    However, this is when you really get into the movie not just everytime do the "audition" instead of watching movie.

So, conclusion is if you have longer viewing distance or wanna to benefit from a good story movie, dont bother investing your hardcore money into Full hd tv. Better invest into sound system coz no matter how far you sit, you can still enjoy DD5.1, DTS, DTS-HD, DSP etc etc......provided you have a good receiver. The digital surround can still shooting around behind you with crystal clear effect. 

Err, because the DVDP Upscaller is tad better 

BD's are not an option for me...too $$$

thanks for your explain.

currently using a 29" 480p TV @ 550cm viewing distance. 

So i guess 40" wont be enough for the screen right ( according to the chart) ? but the budget cant get 50" TV . around 4.5k-5k.
40" would be enough for my family IMO..

for the viewing distance above , a HD and a Full HD dont give big different right. if so , i think grab HD is just enough... what brand you guys recommended ?

Samsung L4 series any good ?

Hi, can anyone tell me where to buy plasma tv wall mount bracket in KL? The tv is 42". If can I want to buy like this --> TV mount bracket <-- or anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it

I think the cheapest and most effective method is probably to rearrange your living room and carve out a nice TV corner for viewing, not more than 8-10ft away from the screen. You will have a very immersive effect with a 42" plasma and some decent speakers, almost like having your own cinema.

yup , I would like to suggest my parents to rearrange the sitting ... maybe close up to 4m ?

4m~4.5m for 40/50incher ? 

I plan to get some LCD TVs from USA because Asia's version of the same model is under-spec. Also if converts the USD to RM also far cheaper than LCD in Malaysia. warranty not really problem as I can send back the TV to them for warranty. Anyone which shop do shipment to malaysia? If the lcd reach malaysia, need tax? anyone buy from oversea before? someone pls guide me how to buy from oversea tq

thats the only way ar? then very bad coz 4:3 is super duper small. forget bout it then. 40" 42" or 46" also will be stretched alot like 32"? any experimented?

The PG60UR that we got here is the downscale version of the PG60. PG60D in North America, and the PG6000 in Europe do have the ISF. ISF in the PG6000 are pre-set settings that approved by the ISF. They have the ISF day and ISF night for different viewing environment, much like the cinema, sports and etc. mode, only that the ISF settings were tuned by the much accredited ISF lab.

The ISF settings are not in the service menu either because i know how to access their on screen service menu, and I couldn't find the settings there.

BYW, have you notice also the on screen menu also look different that the PG6000, also different from the one published in the malaysia LG website? When i asked the LG customer service, they told me the version of the menu (which is actually the outdated 2007 version) we have in the PG60UR is easier to read than the newer menu. I salute you, malaysia LG customer service, cause you are the biggest sxxker cum liar in AV world.

32" too small for me.. 42" too big for me.. need a 37" from panasonic.. since lots of forumer suggest this brand.. in their web site there are lots of 37".. 37LZ800MK,37LX800MK,37LX88MK(3years waranty),37LX80MK,37LZ80MK(5years waranty) - 5 model...

main purpose only watching astro.. which 1 should I get?

please advice..

i doubt that the price of the 26" would be much cheaper than the 32"
market demand and volume has an impact on the pricing too

if possible, can you check what's the offer for the LG 42PG60 plasma?
the best i can find so far is 3699 which is running the PV80H very close
only drawback is the 2-year factory warranty vs 5 year factory warranty from the panny, but the LG's design wins hands down
are we seeing a price war between them? PG60 against PV80H and PG10/20 against PV8?

The wait is over,

I finally saw PG70Plasma and LG80LCD in the shop, the quality is just stunning and marvellous

LG80LCD at RM4800 only...but i didn't get chance to ask for PG70
anyone know the best price for both?

I think i will choose one between them..
LG80LCD 3.1Virtual Surround sound is marvellous...also the 50:000：1 contrast with 4ms response time.
Tomorrow going to bring a DVD high motion images flipping to try on the quality, if the quality is agreeable, definitely it's going to be my baby..  the competition of TV now is just so unbearable..every few months coming with the better quality and features..

50" for terrace too big???
I don't think so, I am sitting 9' away from my 50" TV and thinking how nice if I can have a 65" TV

Market price update for Panny PV80H is RM3,350 in Kuching.

Really dropping like hell......New model is approaching soon.

(U dont reply me at your thread mr htkaki...)

Now i understand the Full HD purpose...

Its your viewing distance need to count for...

How about the 22 inch monitor, is it necessary ?...]

Is it because we view it closely, like 1 feet ?....

TQ

You are already in it
