well, he is the authorised panasonic reseller, i trust him more than you 

guys....finally i got the ANSWER

well for sometime, I have been following this topic of LCD , plasma, which is better, what brand, specs etc etc....

as the day of moving draws nearer, I have decided to go for SHARP AQUOS A85m however since the shop is a recommended contact by some fren, I was told instead to get the A77M; which I did, irregardless of the numerous times I have been told, your astro will look shitty, your soccer match will be blurred, f1 is going to be fizzling..things like that.

Well truth to be told, I just went for it since the deal for a 46 inch a77m in the market was around 7.1k however I got it for 6.3k (shop is a fren's contact)

Well initially watching astro is slightly terrible......after settlig down in my new house. I finally got sometime to fiddle around with the settings.

N by depressing the SHARPNESS..........voila ......its just as good as watching astro on my old CRT 29 inchi

n football , f1 are no prob as well......dun need monster cables or watsover just a direct selection of -8 out of the range from -10 -> +10

so all in all.....i would say ..SHARP has indeed lived up to its name....n thanks to SHARP...otherwise I might have parted with 18k for the pioneer KURO....which is good for initial viewing but after a while u will notice the lag of motion ( although its supposed to be on mucher higher bit ie. 32 if not mistaken as compared to a77m is having only 10 bit)

n of coz...since its a plasma...well the black is purely black but again...very very reflective since its a glass panel

anyways....no hard feelings towards the KURO supporters...end of the day...I am just a willing buyer for SHARP AQUOS, and more importantly to spend with the dime's worth , that's all !!! peace n out

Spot some bargain over at
Chan Furniture Father Day's Special
New set

Sony S400 = RM1799.00
Panasonic 42X10 = RM2800.00
Samsung 40A450 = RM2699.00
Samsung 46A530 = RM4999.00

And so on... Price going down pretty quick.

LMAO! hall still using old sony 32", wanna get X10 for toilet? Stop pretend to be loaded la peasant. If can get x10 for toilet, need to get used velodyne 12R without remote?

If I use my TV for movie I will definately choose Plasma, no question ask.
But my usage is like 70% PS3 gaming and 30% blu-ray movie.
So far I don't see anyone who says good thing about plasma give any comment how plasma peform in gaming.
So I am still deciding whether to get Panasonic TH-P42S10K or Sharp LC42A77M

wah, that's a really good price, what kind of camera?

A recent group test for your reading pleasure: http://www.avreview.co.uk/news/article/mps...attr=editorial1

you are talking without logic or manufacturing background.. this theoretical RM999 50inch plasma will be 30-40KG thing made out of 30KG ot metal, plastics and electronics.. bos you know how much is raw material for 30KGs worth of grade A virgin raw material parts (without processing/manufacturing/molding/metal stamping) or not?
those examples you given are 100gm to 2kg items.
also, due to bulk weight, significant distribution and warehousing costs will already eat into a RM999 plasma's retail price.
besides unless you can show me a RM999 plasma, your assumption of a RM999 is dead wrong.

you can't even show me a RM999 34inch jap brand CRT TV, still want to talk so much.

Thanks bro, too bad that this information has little use to me cause I am living in Kuching    Anyway I think I have a clear idea in the difference in PQ after comparing S and C series.

Will just wait for a while to see if there is any price drop in the blu-ray players. The prices for plasma set is droping like free fall recently, 720p 50" is less than 4k now    Hope this wave will hit the blu soon ...

Are you my twin brother who knows what I am thinking / feeling / enjoying? some ppl just always post in offensive tone as if wanna provoke a war of words. I am probably not the only one who has this feeling, I think ar188 posted something a few days ago ... long gone issue also wanna Korek ..

RM150? Obviously you have not been updating yourself. Don't just look at the price in Speedy Video la .... and I am not talking about the Jack Sparrow version.

By the way, how do you know that is the price of the movie titles that is stoping the bluray adoption in Malaysia? you can speak for all Malaysian? Wa lao!!!, then probably you can suggest to the government another interpretation of 1Malaysia = 1 person to speak for whole Malaysia

Are you from Miri or Bintulu? you sound like the MP who is so generous in donating this and that to others (that is if you know who I am refering to), I don't mind if you wanna give me a free blu-ray player.

By the way, I have not even mentioned about buying every movies in BLU and that I want to watch many movies in BLU!. I think a lot of the BLU owners are buying the movies title selectively only, and by that, I mean on those titles that in their opinion, worth collecting only. And each of these ppl have their on selection criteria, some emphasis on PQ, some AQ, some the movie plot and etc.... and that is what I plan to do, buy selectively. For other titles that I don't want in BLU, I still can buy the DVD.

My sincere apologies to those who intended to read PLASMA and LCD related only post in this thread. Just cannot tahan ...

I agree with you that the price of the blu-ray title is one of the factors that is slowing down the adoption of BLU in this country or worldwide, but it is not necessary the only factor. I know you didn't put it in the exact wordings in your earlier post that this is the only factor but you did implied that in your posting.

As I said, price of the blu-ray title is only one of the factors, IMHO, other factors could be
a) Price of the player - even if the price of the title drop to RM 10, if the player still cost RM 2000 as compare to DVD players that cost as low as RM 80, you think that is going to affect ppl giving up DVD for BLU?

b) The ownership of HDTV. Many families in this country, especially those reside in smaller towns (I mean no offence, and correct me if I am wrong) are still using CRT or RPTV, BLU and DVD has unnoticable difference when watched through those TVs

c) BLU is still new, some don't even know what it is, not even to mention the difference, one famous blogger when asking the Jack Sporrow crew for the blu-ray converted DVD, the crew showed him the whole bag of BLUE XXX titles indeed 

I can go on with this list like the number of titles available and etc., but think that I should stop here. This thread is not meant for this topic, and I would post any argument on this topic in this thread anymore 

Soon (?) FullHD(1080P) will be replace by 2560 x 1440 (1440P).  1440P is not new and it is around since 2007(?).  So, what should we call 1440P? Ultra FullHD?

TV may still upgrade to higher than FullHD in coming years but I believe blu-ray will stay for quite some time cause Sony and Others not yet gain enough profit out of the this Blu-ray.  Even their got better product to replace Blu-ray their will not do so in few years time. 

It's all due to production costs.

Plasma manufacturing costs will be too expensive if the size is anything less than 42". So that's why you don't see any small ones from the 20 to 37"

Whereas for LCD production cost it is the direct opposite of Plasma. Only recently these couple of years the production cost has lowered and now you are able to see LCD's bigger than 42" but the cost has not significantly reduced yet. Just comparable but not below yet.
