Hmm.. hopefully its ok me to post my question here... do pardon me if im wrong

Hey peeps!, which LCDTV i shld get?..

1) LG LG80FR 42"
or
2) Samsung LA40B30 40"

Samsung one will be abt rm500 cheaper than LG.

Btw, i heard LG LG80FR 42" its 100Hz, is it true?.. thats great for HTPC users rite?..

Any thoughts?..

(Fyi : i'll use it for Astro, DVD, BD soon, as i get my ps3, and mabbe some HTPC action.. heh).

Cheers

Err... u guys don't watch much TV huh?...

/runs

Afaik, Monster brand its way overpriced, and no different from lesser brands and yet u saved like 50% off compared to Monster brand.

Just don't get ridiculously low price ones... normal brands like SoundTech, Philips, Belkin will have the same quality as overpriced Monster brand.

Unless u can find very low priced Monster 1.3 hdmi cable for like rm100 or lower.. that would be awesome.. lol

Cheers

For PC use, definately get FullHD, if not yer desktop will look like 14inch monitor due low resolution.

And yes, ages ago graphic card can do even higher than FullHD.

HD and FullHD terms, imo mainly for non-tech ppl or layman ppl.

HD = 1280x720 resolution.
FullHD = 1920x1080 resolution.

Oops, typo corrected reminded by aria88

Dammm.. now i have think twice getting plasma liaoz... *sigh*... was aiming for 50S10 for its price value.

Like quite mafan to avoid image-retention and burn-in... esp. i like to watch movies on it, as its mostly not 16:9 ratio meaning theres 'black bars' topbottom of the screen... and at the same time wanna play PS3 games on it.. then had to worry abt 'static images', like "HUD, Scores, CommandPanel etc".

Wherelse lcd has no such issue rite?...

Cheers

Ok, what i gather here.. the cons and pros :-

Plasma pros : no lag/ghosting issues, wide viewing angles, slightly natural colors, most have tempered screen glass for durability.
cons : burn-in, image-retention, slightly more power-consumption.

LCD pros : slightly less power-consumption, no burn-in, no image-retention.
cons : lag/ghosting issue but hardly noticable(?), too much contrast lead to picture quality doesn't look natural(?), viewing angles not as good plasma(?), no extra protection for the screen.

(Referring to most common lcd/plasma which its not 100Hz and above, or not Kuro and etc.).

Anything i missed there?.. do correct me, if i list wrong there..

What i meant was, normally i watch movies its on "cinema ratio" mah.

I watch abt the same amount of Astro and movies, thats why im worry abt the those burn-in and image-retention, esp. some PS3 gaming.

Cheers

Cheers

"CAPTAIN ZULU!, WHERES MY HOLODECK!"

lol.. sundely si zorro here..

If not mistaken, those materials will work the same, just that u need to find out the combination of colors..

Cheers

Well, its juz colors... why wouldnt work?..

Thats what i diy'ed (20years ago?) last time when i tried it on those so called "3D comics", as i lost its 3D-glasses, so i used what sam240 mentioned.

And it works the same

Oh well mabbe its different to "3D" in movies... no harm trying tho, considering those materials are cheap and pretty ez to find.

Yeap

Isn't Pioneer stopped making PlasmaTV few weeks/mths now?.. or i mistaken

Cheers

Afaik, KURO oso reflective... isn't most PlasmaTVs are reflective?... 99%?... and yet no one say that abt KURO.. lol

Btw, imo isn't the PlasmaTV reflectiveness same as typical tube (CRT) TVs?... so... if u have no problem with yer tube-TV, so u shldn't worry abt PlasmaTV's reflectiveness rite?..

I was wondering abt that... nice to know

Cheers

I heard someone said at first Sony's panels its by Samsung, then later by LG.

Kinda funny that Sony (a huge company) didn't make their own lcd panel.

I guess Sony its putting all their resources on their OLED TVs?..
