IINM, the colors create optical illusion when the fields meet each other.

It's not 'real' 3D though

A65, I never heard of.

A66 and A77 difference is aesthetics and A77 got 100Hz.

100Hz is useless, though, and the A77 doesn't call it 100Hz in the menu, so it is a little difficult to turn it off (I turned off every processing option anyway). If you're on a budget, get the A66. If you (somehow) have 100Hz video source, buy the A77.

Sorry, I'm not sifu, but can give you a little bit of advise

Samsung got good PQ, as far as I can tell. But from personal experience (or rather, someone close to me experience), Samsung got bad build quality.

The stand also very cheap one. When pressing button on the side, the TV rock back and forth

From 2008

However, bad experiences leave a mark, and unless I am proved otherwise, I still believe that Samsung build quality=Utter shite

AFAIK

If you use your TV for SD sources mainly (Astro, DVD, VCD, VCR) get Plasma.

If you play a lot of games, get LCD (I know IR not so common, but it is still around if play too long)

Pana isn't number 1 Plasma

You forgot Pioneer Kuro

Also, Sharp very berpengalaman in LCD, but I don't think they are the best anymore.

Sure, Sharp is reliable, make panel in Japan, etc., but there are LCDs with better PQ these days

Don't get me wrong, Sharp is awesome.

But got better brand nowadays.

I use A77, which is one step down from the highest one, and my PQ is definitely not as good as Sony's Bravia Z and X range (PQ itself is actually not as nice as W series from what I can tell, but W backlight sucks). Sharp PQ is great though, just not class-leading anymore

However, even A77 not as mahal as those I just mentioned.

If you looked, you can find better looking for sure, but with Sharp, you can sleep knowing that it won't kong next day

Plasma is best in low light.

Maybe the color temperature is too high.

Also, not sharp enough is astro itself la

LCD.

Cannot even clean with normal cloth, since it will get scratched

But Plasma reflective surface can get annoying. Especially if got a source of light behind you

Not sure about that, but Kuro can still be found easily

If you know how to set it up, Kuro is the best of the best.

Got other HDTVs with more features now, but Kuro black levels are unbeatable.

I remember turning on a Kuro and not being able to tell the difference in the panel colour

PQ is still good, but dark is best so the blacks look deeper

Unfortunately, they haven't seemed to have gotten Kuro-ish quality yet

Astro don't look very black because the source itself doesn't have good blacks.

This is where the GiGo theory comes into play and Astro is unredeemable

Sony uses Samsung panel, but ultimately, there is more than just the panel that you use.

The engine and stuff also are a determining factor in terms of PQ, etc.

Also, Sony TVs tend to have rather good TV speakers (until you get HT, that is)

Besides, salesman get higher commission from selling Samsung products due to Samsung having lower production costs (Korea govt. supports Samsung whole heartedly)

Now Sony using Sharp panel, if I remember right

That story was dem sad

SXRD panels were beautiful

Are you sure the 360 is set to output in HD res?

Try checking the settings.

Also, AFAIK the current Sharp line up will not take 1080p through component, so you might want to invest in a HDMI cable for your 360.

Ready to become obsolete when 2160p comes out

How long do you want your TV to last you?

If you not going to upgrade for the next 5-10 years, but an LED TV. RM10k as a 10 year investment is a bargain.

If you going to change TV like baby change diaper, buy a crap LCD first
