stormcontrol 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2009 For the LCD and Plasma debate here is another good site to check out -> HWZ Oh yah, rondy that site you mentioned is quite informative but lacks 2 piece of information. Onee of which is critical for SG tv users. First for any given size class, plasma TVs are almost always cheaper than the equivalent sized LCD tv (please do not consider the god of flat screen: the pioneer kuro, they are in a price class of their own =p) Second, for a given price range (and proper viewing distance), plasma TV almost always outdoes LCD TV in displaying SD (standard definition) programs. This is important as mediacorp only intends to go full digital broadcasts only around 2013, so you will have to suffer teary eyes watching blurry Channel 8/5/channelnewsasia on an LCD for a number of years yet! That being said, whether plasma or LCD, or even HD-Ready vs Full HD really depends on your usage patterns (play alot of games, watch alot of Blu-ray, etc). So please do go readup the HWZ stickies in the link above. It'll really help you not just in selecting your TV, but figure out the best place to put your sofa in relation to your TV size or vice-versa!! On a personal note, I am aiming for the Panasonic 42PY-800H. Optimal for the sitting distance in my living room, great for all the free-to-air tv viewing my wife is addicted to, and good for my occasional gaming and blu-ray watching needs =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

familyof4 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2009 Pet is back already...for a short short while I think there is a bond for Uncle's customers...a very natural bond Depending on what you need to do, I suggest give uncle more time as he has several projects so that you will not be too stressed out at least I don't chase him anything, I get updates from him once a week, I am very comfortable. With the 2nd phase, Jason's pretty efficient in my orders and paint elect, plumbing etc...Ah wei doing carpentry...I am also ok I only need to watch the updates and progress. Remind them on the important things weekly I think I am kinda enjoy the status now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
