Advice Plasma or LCD TV

[Rickster]

Ya lor, most of the movies on sale are still the standard DVD format that is non-HD.

What about the problem with Plasma where the screen gets burned if the image stays same for a long time. For example, if you watching Fottball Channel, the logo at the top right hand corner is there for whole show. Is this taken care off in new Plasma?

plasma over lcd anytime for me.

 

my 3 year old plasma is still working fine without any problem at all.

 

people who make those kind of claim,

 

either do not know what they are talking about and just based on hear say,

 

or they bought a crap plasma.

 

 

panasonic or pioneer, if you want a real good plasma tv.

Hi Zen & all,

 

Good day to you!

I have been shopping around for the past week and observed something:

 

1) I visited H@vee N0rm*n at Suntc and Wstmall. The salesmen from each branch told me different things. One said plasma is a better choice (i.e. you are buying technology of the panel, whereas for LCD, you are buying the resolution); the other told me that not many companies manufacture plasma now (got reflection, consumes alot of power, etc.) and even Carrefour is not sell them! I am reli confused! One thing is for sure, each of them must have their own agenda (prob selling a particular one yields more commission?). Else how come sales ppl from the same company saying diff things? Tot they shd have went thru the same training?

 

2) I heard my friend saying that his plasma TV emits alot of heat and consumes alot of power, until his utility bill shot up and at the end, he got to pack it and keep it in the storeroom. I wonder is he exaggerating? Can you share your experience, Zen?

 

Kindly share you tots and experience! All welcome! Thanks brudders!

i chose LCD over plasma, although more exp, plasma heats up much more than LCD and if considering durability for electronics, heat is a major factor. Heard tat plasma after prolong use will have shadow print on screen but dunno true anot.

I've heard that for Plasma, go for the 2P - Panasonic or Pioneer. For LCD, go for the 3S - Samsung, Sony, Sharp.

[Ultramega]

if u watch football,then plasma is a must.ball flying in a LCD tv is not very clear.for me,i take plasma,cos it is proven technology

 

i think it's called the "ghosting" effect. like got shadow. affects movies too. eg, superman fly too fast got shadow.

[Hamburger]

me ve a plasma n a LCD.Between e 2,i will choose plasma.colour on a plasma is more natural.watching from an acute angle,the plasma is clearer while LCD will blurr up.

[Ccjna]

regarding the 500 voucher, i asked courts abt that and they mention is becoz at the end of last mth they suddently have this 1 week promo from the supplier thus ur good fortune lor. Hai.. didnt get to enjoy this 100 more voucher

 

Wow...u went to ask them???

 

If u can wait & dun mind, maybe the next promotion will get more freebies.

[Nismobabe]

wonder when this promo gonna end?the $400 voucher sounds tempting.My aunt said Mustafa giving free dvd player beside voucher, for some models.

LCD is proven tech. Just that it depends on what mainly you use your TV set for. In fact, I've seen LCDs perform as good as plasma when watching HD5. Also LCDs have richer colors when you are watching animation.

 

oh ok so there are non reflective screens for plasma tv ...

thanks...

[Black_raven]

If reflection is an issue for you, get the Pana PV700H.

It's made in Japan and has no reflection.

 

Hi Loniser,

 

Thanks for the info.

Any price gauge?

[Ccjna]

Aiyo...alot of area is giving away free dvd player & those cheap cheap type. No good one lah...
