LCD or Plasma TV

went to see again, i found that LuckyGoldstar's panel is over-saturated.......most probably will get the 50PV70 (reflective screen) instead of 50PV700(anti-glare) from Panasonic.

Think somebody got it for just $3800 sometime back, based on this price, with the $400 cash voucher and 1st month OCBC free installment and 3% rebate from Best Denki, that will work out to be:

$3800-$158.33-$400-$114 = $3127.67. Not bad for a 50" Plasma Just hope that they will still throw in the 5 years extended warranty from either Panasonic or 3 years extended warranty + SAFETY5.

I have a 50PV70 and very happy with it. Not the best Plasma out there but definitely one of best overall package and price. Really got good pricing & promotion on now from Panasonic..guess they want to capture more market.

Look out for any HN promotion expecially with their 5yr (= 3 (Panasonic) +2 (HN) ) FULL extended warranty...cos is anytime within the 5yr that your tv cannot be fixed then they will replace or refund the full amount...which to me is quite a good insurance considering these days electronics lifespan and non-Japan assemble models. Whereas Safety5 warranty are depreciation type.

I have a LCD & Plasma both from Panasonic and definitely for SD-channel and moving scenes plasma is the way to go.

but how much do you pay for it? Plasma may not spoil so easily within 5 years, the more critical period is the first 3 years actually.

I got quote for around $3.9K at the last show in Suntec a few months ago.

I would have though it is likely to fail either first week or after 3 year. Maybe that's why normally warranty are only given first 2-3year by agent.

depends on viewing distance. If your TV size is fixed, the further you sit, the PQ diff may not be visible to you between LCD and Plasma.

Hi,

my viewing distance between my sofa and my console is about 3m. Was thinking of buying a 42" plasma. Do but you think the screen size a bit too big?

Yours is plasma or LCD? What brand/model you bought?

Nope. Its not too big. According to THX specs, you should sit even nearer to see the details!

hi, according to a website, http://www.thehighdefinitionstore.com/tv/t...istance-72.html, min & max viewing distance for 42'' tv is 5.3ft & 10.5ft (10.5ft is about 3.5m)

My viewing distance is about 4m, I've just bought a 50'' plasma .. anything bigger is out of my budget.. hee hee..

you shall not be restricted by what stupid funny standard lar. There was a "standard" saying I need to buy 100" Plasma with a viewing distance of 4m, crazy right? Although I am using a projector with 100" viewing in HD and 60"+ for normal SCV/Mediacorp channels, the experience is just great, except I can't really enjoy much during daytime. Go check it out yourself at the stores and feel the difference in viewing distance and the sizes. 50" is just nice for 3-4m viewing distance to me. 42" will be a bit too small for anything less than 3m, but then it's a very subjective to individuals one lor. 65" will be ideal for 4m. Just my personal "taste".

btw, wensi, which Plasma you bought, how much? Me aiming for Samsung P9

I will be bringing my kwh power meter together with my hubstation and probably a media box down to test the sets in best denki/harvey norman. Power consumption doesn't bother me, just for the benefit of others.

where you bought your POWER meter? how much?

i can only find in UK...not sg.

I bought the Panasonic TH50PY700 for $5499 with extended warranty to 5yrs, draco HD box, $100 voucher... think not the best deals in town, but just tired of sourcing as we've been looking for a tv for the last whole months...

the viewing standard serves as a basic guideline but i assume it is based on a middle>to>higher end models.

go look at those cheapo funny brand name lcd/plasma, pixels were as large as your hp buttons, no matter how large the screen is, viewing distance should be LESS THAN 1metre or more than 20metres away.
