LCD TV feedback / recommendation needed

[Bluemice]

dear MCFians,

 

my TV is dying ... and time is high for me to change.

 

Aiming for a 46" / 47" model, and after visiting several shops and reading of the brochures, it seems that I am down to the following:

1. Sony V or W series

2. Samsung 650 / 610 series

3. LG 70YR series

4. Sharp A85 series

 

Anyone with comments and user feedback on the above units, pls feel free to drop a note.

As for pricing/lobang, lets leave it out first, as I am still doing my legwork and research.

(I noticed that there is a huge difference between the highest and lowest)

 

Thanks

if price is about same , i will vouch for Sony W or V series.

err.... a Sony W series is typically abt 1k higher than say the LG or sharp. and i m only referring to the 400 and not the 4500.

V is abt 500 cheaper than the W.

Depends on what kind of content you are most frequently watching. For my eyes, i find that the scv channels (including ch8 and 5) looks better on plasma.

 

if buy for DVD viewing, i tink both LCD and plasma are quite on par, so just i'd go for SHARP if going for LCD.

 

if buy just for gaming then strictly go for LCD. can't use plasma for gaming will burn in.

How abt a Samsung 9 series?

 

the 46 inch, 950 is good, check out the review in Cnetasia.

9 series? think its gonna burn a big hole =X

$40 is guud liao...some offer $10

[Sony]

should go it show

 

 

not really. IT show is mostly cash and carry.. and the price is not exactly cheaper than outside..

[Sony]

given the size, have you considered plasma?

 

and read up more and forget about the old tales about burn in, heat, uses more electricity..

 

obviously the colour and movement from a plasma vs LCD is still visible..

 

price wise, plasma is also cheaper..
