lifestyle 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2008 It's very difficult to compare at shops unless the settings are almost similar. I was once shown by the Sale person of how good one brands looks compares to another brand but later when checking the settings, it was very bias.Also shops usually have a very bad light envirnoments and do no justice for Plasma screens. They usually set the contrast too high to attract customers. Also shops sometime may not have a good signal so do no justice for local air channels.So my suggestion just buy what you need (Plasma or LCD). No point buying Full HD (if you are sitting quite far back, the tv size is quite small or not watching HD materials liek Blu-rays or HD-DVD) and other new technology if you are not making full use of it. If can affort Full HD or Kuro then go for it and start enjoying the tv. Else HD Ready is usually good enough and also start enjoying it. Cos there will be better model just around the corner. it's a never ending and no point waiting for the ideal tv for you.I waited 2yrs to get a HD Ready TV just to compared diff models and waiting for new technology.

lifestyle 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2008 At least you got the Kuro..best black color (BMW)...me only got the best selling TV (Toyota) Yup me too...most store recognised my face. I think one store even black list me (i.e not serving me) cos i ask too many good questions everytime.Yes, agree with you to visit many different store for comparison and listen to many diff sale person talk...by then you will be confuse kuro also have hd ready or full hd lehi can only afford the smallest hd ready guess you got to go to many many different branches of different stores to get a good feel of the PQthink now i'm a familiar face at all the tv sections of all the stores liao Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
