You are using vga cable or HDMI - HDMI to connect PC to PY800?

tried vga, 1024x768
hdmi - the py800 flicker non stop at 1200x800, cant select any higher resolutions.

any other py800 owners experienced this?

I'm using HDMI for full HD output.
Could it be graphic card issue? What GC r u using? Nvidia have scaling problem with HDTV.
You set resolution and scaling in GC menu rite?

A650, they won CNET 8 point of review.
Also i have personally scrutinized the quality. Although for transition and wording, the blurring a bit obvious, but overall, the quality is better than the rest of their series...if this is call bad, others are 3 x bad

Anyway recommend those who are buying Samsung LCD to personally tested out with high speed motion graphics, such as the latest cantonese series about diamond which the initial song part, the sliding show will be noticed stutter for many LCD TV, and if your TV can survive from the stutterness, then your TV is the top quality among all

Thanks for input. Appreciate that. Need find time to COD in Penang. smile.gif

Yes, its retailed at around RM 5k ... i dun think the additional 1.5k justify the difference

Difference between IPS alpha and IPS is huge.
Can really see the difference when 80MK model 800MK are placed side by side.
IMO LZ80 is still a good buy with price tag smile.gif
P/s: a forum member is selling it @ 2.95k. Grab it quick. brows.gif

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..

Yup rite laugh.gif

I just bought a Panasonic 37" LCD TV (model TX 37LX80MK) in Butterworth, Penang for RM2,749 with 2 years warranty after paying membership fees of RM12. Add in another RM100 to buy Panasonic DVD player (worth about RM 160+). On top of that  with the points gathered on purchase of LCD TV, can buy the HDMI Philips DVD player at RM199 (normal price RM299).

Is this price OK?

Since you have bought, then enjoy your tv smile.gif
btw isn't that u r supposed to get 'sharp' instead? brows.gif

Yes, my original intention was to buy Sharp because in most shops when they play Astro on the LCD TVs and comparing side by side, Sharp looks the best in colour definition and picture quality. Before I confirmed the purchase, I brought my notebook and a piece of my own DVD CD with movies downloaded from the internet and ask the shop assistant to test it. The tests showed Sharp was not so good as compared to other TV makes in displaying computer graphics and in playing downloaded movies. But when playing TV programs all were equally bad. The shop assistant said that Panasonic is the no 1 best selling product for his company throughout Malaysia. Panasonic in my own personal experience has a good record for product quality whereas the Sharp products which I have owned like fax machine, CRT TVs, etc seems to have faced quality problems.

And when I read the audiophile thread, a lot of people are rooting for Panasonic. So this tip my scale in favour for Panasonic over Sharp at the last moment.
*
Yup. You r rite. Panasonic have product assurance and always give peace of mind on reliability.

something really confused me here.. a fullhd lcd tv that has 10k(DC) and hdcp lcd tv that has 20k(DC).. which one is better??

Don't look at DC ratio only. It's just a figure.
Place them side by side n compare with eyes.
This would give d best answer thumbup.gif
