i would go for the bigger screen....more bang


btw i was showing off my tiny koleksi of 1080 movies to my bil via WDTV. niamah! the whole night he was concentrating on the fine details that he can see, like someone's hair, water stains, etc instead of on the movie itself. too much definition could be a bad thing....kekeke

yup all played well except my rattatule didnt start at the beginning.

well i played celine for him (just a bit) then casino royale (he said he never notice how exciting it was even though he had seen it before. also shakira....blade runner....just here and there.

thats the thing, even with my HD Ready plasma pun ok ma....we were just sitting like a few feet away.

ar188 dunno got new stuff or not leh? *hint* *hint* (btw im downloading piratesx part 2 HD wan)

you talk as if the hitachi compare to the panasonic is night and day only.

I am using hitachi 9500. The panasonic is good but since i couldnt compare side by side its hard to say which is better. Its definitely not night and day difference. One thing i can say is my hitachi 9500 sound beats the pv80 anytime. My bil has the pv80 and when he heard mine he thought i have a home theatre hook up to it. My bil concedes that his pv80 sound is weak when compare to mine.

Yes and it renders tv fullscreen to widescreen pretty well. No fat ppl here.

nope, no special gimmick needed.

But having said the above, if given the above choices i would pick the pv80. The current hitachi may not have the same speakers and sound setup. I prefer pv80 front hdmi, 5yr warranty. The design is nicer too.

just use what you already have. i dont see any point in buying a new dvd player at this point. instead go for a bluray player

there is no such thing as RCA cable. Component cables uses RCA connectors. yup its good enough (what am I talking about? component is best already for analog video)
btw i use the free composite cable (yellow) with the audio (red, white) as component ....Im cheap...

what the heck is an HDMI player? i assume you meant DVD player with HDMI out..... anyway doesnt matter, the type of connection is not going to magically turn your 480 into something spectacular

if few hundred ringgit difference then get full HD la. didnt someone mentioned Panasonic full HD LCD TV now around 3k plus?

that one also good la.......
























......for your maid's toilet

i paid 5k for my hitachi 5900 too. not much regret cause the current models not so good already...

go there sell backside ah?

1. "was making" is not correct. if i read the article correctly, it means it will do so in the future meaning current plasma TVs is made by Pioneer. Nobody knows if future Pioneer Plasma TV will maintain the same black panels
2. just because Pioneer is buying the panels from Panasonic doesnt mean they are not putting their own electronics in it. they are just buying the panel itself
3. if panasonic would be to make the whole TV for Pioneer, it would be according to Pioneer's own specs

do yourself a favor and get the sweet spot 42inch panel
32in is too small whether it is HD or FHD. You will regret soon enough

my plasma is 1024x 1080......how?

nobody ask you....

this ar188....always makes the forum hang wan....

I have to admit, I too like the Z series Sony.

The first thing that I noticed that its very video like (which is not a "good" thing but I like it). The picture seems to pop out at you. Its bright, its vibrant. Ok maybe too artificial but I like it. But even though it has 200Hz motion something, some movements are still erratic.

I was at Mid Valley Sony store. They were playing BD Casino Royale on their 47in Z series. I was actually very disturbed to have seen it cause I dont like Sony and I am more in the Plasma camp.

It all depends on what you are looking for. Asking other ppl which is better is pointless. Go and compare yourself.

But if watch just Astro - why buy full HD in the first place? and Astro would look crappy on LCD

oh there is also a X series which is suppose to be better than Z? but it looks like crap! maybe because its 70inches

*gets ready to be laugh at*

i have to disagree with you ar188.

its still very subjective. maybe less subjective than audio but still subjective. its not a 100% science that says this is good picture and that is a bad picture. yes you can more or less easily tell the difference.

also sharper doesnt mean better. if that is the case, then I should go and buy the Z series. some ppl dont like sharper. some ppl dont like a video-like image, some ppl prefer more film like. the opposite could be true too. some ppl prefer a softer image, etc...

Its just more easier to determine "what is good"

dont forget that some ppl cant tell the difference between this and that picture....they purely buy by the spec numbers alone

LOL...very difficult to argue with gadget store owners.....

We are not comparing 480 vs 1080, or whether it is macroblocking or not, sharp or blur. If you cant tell the difference between these then.....
The difference can be subtle. Some panels brighter, some darker. Some ppl like bright. Some they like dark. This is subjective. Its not as simple as black vs white, day vs night.
Some ppl even buy because the bezel looks nicer.....some just for the name brand. If its so clear cut, then a lot of brands also chap lup already and video magazines also chap lup once they review lets say 2009 models and declare the top 10 list.

thank gosh at least got some people agrees.

the full HD LCD from pana not too bad. i was comparing it to the PV80 just place on top of this new LCD model at HN Sunway. Not much difference....cant say for sure which is better.
