Lg 50pk550 Plasma Good?

[vicenzo70 0]

well. you are the expert obviously. you write for digital.asiaone.com right?

consumers like me only listen to what salesmen tells me. i'm giving my comments based on what i'm told. sorry that i tried to sound too expert. I will try to use "i think" in my future comments.

btw, i don't have bollocks. i'm a lady.

Ive already apologised. Why cant u give it a rest?

btw, "off your bollocks" in this context means a highly flexible term commonly used by the English. 1. something rubbish or 2. a falsehood or series of lies.

It has nothing to do with the body anatomy. If you have thought otherwise, let me apologise again.

Cheers

Thanks for the advice, which brand is good in plasma?

Plasma brand leaders are Pioneeer (esp the Kuro series) & Panasonic.

Do audition & make the comparison before deciding.

Lady

Need to clear the air with u.

Youre offended by my "rude comment" which Ive otherwise explained the meaning of that word. So why should i mind my language

which is not offensive at all?

On the other hand, you were clearly duped by salesmen talk & hearsay & repeat this instilled knowledge in this forum instead of finding

the atcual facts about it.

If Im going to tell you that a $5K BOSE system will sound awful than a $2K brand-you-probably-wouldnt-have-heard-of, you probably

wont believe me coz Im not a salesman right?

Im here to correct presumptions & false claims made & give advice on those in pursue of a pure HTS.

We're here to share facts & experiences, not hearsay. If you need any advice on a HTS set up, let me know. I can help a lot.

btw, lady, i dont write for digital.asiaone or any AV magazine. I wonder where you get that presumptions from again?

I have checked out panasonic website, from the specification shown, the power consumption between plasma and lcd seems huge. They only have at max 42" LCD for comparison.

42" LCD power consumption = 140w

42" Plasma power consumption = 230w

That's quite a difference of 90w, almost 64% up.

Asumming the power consumption is per hour usage, for 6 hours daily, i would have chalked up 90 x 6 = 540w additional usage. Per month = 16.2kw, about $4 +/- per month.

Thinking thinking thinking.........

Bro, (hope youre not a lady coz lady & electronics dont mix very well)

Take a look at this website & do a comparison http://reviews.cnet.com/green-tech/tv-consumption-chart/

or read this http://www.lcdtvbuyingguide.com/lcdtv-plasmavslcd.shtml

Do some of your own research. Please also note that actual Plasma power consumption varies *a lot*, depending on the images shown. Bright images consume more power. Dark images consume very few power. It's different with LCD, cause the LCD backlight is on all the time, regardless of whether there are black pixels somewhere or not. So the real life average Plasma power consumption is a whole lot lower than the maximum power consumption number taken from the user manual. The real life average LCD power consumption is usually also a bit lower than the maximum number, cause you usually don't run at the highest brightness setting, but the difference between max number and real life consumption is bigger with Plasma.

There you have it. Most importantly, buying TVs main priority is to obtain better image display. If you want PUB savings, then go for the LCD.

Go for plasma if youre into HD format. Otherwise any stick & stone LCD will suffice.

Cheers

Bro thanks for the chart, the chart tells eveything. On average the cost of plasma tv is about one time more than LCD, samsung 46" LCD on average $30 plus whereas samsung 46" plasma $70 plus. About $3 ~ $4 more a month.

Btw, i'm not good with electronic stuffs and i'm a man, they can still mix.

If u read my earlier post, my main concern is power consumption, with Power tariff increasing every now and then, buying engery saving electrical/eletroinc applicances can help save quite a bit each month.

With your inputs, plasma is an option for me in my hunt for TV.

You must be off your bollocks with your comments.

How high is electricity consumption? Kindly read my previous posts on TV selection.

Pix quality wise, plasma beats all hands down. True black display can never be said of LCD or LED.

If you want to save money, go for CRT.

cheers

it is indeed a fact that plasma consumes more power than lcd, yet you bring out other point like plasma has better pixel quality to rebutt her, and your opening statement is nothing but rude and smelt of arrogance. if you think you know well, at least dont sound so rude.

Ive already apologise to her for my perceived rude remarks.

Are you here to serve me justice as well? If you have nothing to contribute on this thread,

kindly leave this matter to rest.

Geezzz.....

this thread is gettin more hostile...

dun wanna sound intrusive but its juz a case of simple misunderstanding...

anyway, bro vic helped me alot in recommendin my hts setup. my opinion: he's da hts guru & if u have doubts in him, then its ok... everyone have their own mind to believe him or salesman or etc.... (im not siding wif him, ah... juz giving my views on his hts knowledge)

if u really, really wanna know more, one word: xtremeplace.com...

cheers

Yes, I must admit that bro vic is a hts guru.

He has provided alot of info on plasma, lcd and led which make my selection easy. If i want to go for picture quality, plasma is the one, power saving lcd or led. It is clear from the chart plasma consume more power. The point here is cannot compromise image and power.

Some members might felt that his language used can be offensive at times but he has apologised and the matter should rest. However, many lady members might be offended by this:

"(hope youre not a lady coz lady & electronics dont mix very well)"

I'm must stressed again my mix, I'm a man but still a dummy with electronic stuffs, otherwise i would not have such a headache and asking so many questions.

Personally, I owned both the Panasonic Plasma TV and Sharp LCD TV. Trust me, go Plasma cos the picture quality is way way better... unless utilities bill is your top priority then LCD is the way to go.
