necrosis 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2009 Yes i know that sony is the most ex among all the major brands but i still like the design and the functionality hahahahaha eh but if other brands selling 52" cheaper than a 46" sony, i might consider other brands hahahaha sony is a great brand, however i feel that it's not worth the pricing....it's like some branded stuff.....just the name only... specs-wise got others similar and/or better that's more value. quite a few saleman also said that sony is not made in japan, not even the parts. furthermore, sony lcd panel is from lg or samsung. the sales peeps i speak with know we're not buying tv, just looking for differences in the specs etc...so they din try to push any particular brand on us....just general info.

For my case, the deciding factor is what me and my wife watch. If focus mostly on sinkapore channels, get plasma. If use the TV to watch stuff like DiscoveryChannelHD, NatGeoHD, play computer games, play PS3, watch BlueRay, get LCD/LED Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joseeng 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2009 If we have tv but usage is to play game and watch DVD only,need to pay TV license?! as long as you have TV at home, you still gotta pay annual tv licence fees. if you wanna "better" black, LED tv is the one but also comes with higher price.
