Malkie Posted December 4, 2007 Share 1080i is sufficient(HD ready),1080p is good for PS3 or if you got a blu ray player,only around 10 movie titles available for full HD(1080p),when DSTV broadcast in HD it will be 1080i(720p),so not worth the premium you pay.Dont be fooled by the resolutions you see on the demo units in retailers,they use HD "streamers" to get those high resolutions.If you buy yourplasma/LCD make sure you get high quality cables to connect from DSTV/DVD to your panel,makes a noticable differance in picture quality.

Mike Posted December 4, 2007 Share HD is merely an input to the tv from dvd etc. just better quality but not be all and end all. LCD better power saver but may not be better picture compared to plasma but depends on what you buy. Sony over rated. Samsung same set/features/insides but at a better price. Samsung better than the rest.Size depends on size of the room/distance from which you sitting.my 2 cents worth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saint Posted December 4, 2007 Share Oh and walk around that LCD screen first to check all your different viewing angels before buying it, in fact lie down underneath it to check if you can still see the picture clearly, LCD is good but just be careful as you don't always sit facing the screen directly when watching your TV.

Malkie Posted December 4, 2007 Share AR cable,not to confuse you but I think you should still take a look at the plasma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brakkies Sport Fotos Posted December 5, 2007 Share Ok broeders, I did some research and got this info:(thanks huisgenoot :-) LCD: meer realistiese beeld langer leeftyd as plasma uitstekende gesigsveld - op tot 178% spookbeelde wanneer bewegende beeld gekyk word Goed as P3 gespeel word +- R2000 duurder as plasma PLASMA hoedefinisie beeld beter beeld vervrisser tempo - geen spookbeelde wanneer bewegende beeld gekyk word So, Daar is 'n LG (something RV7 MODEL) 42" plasma (black) 2 jaar waarborg vir R9,999 of a Samsung 42" (C9 model) vir R12,799 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamm Posted December 5, 2007 Share My call would be the Samsung Plasma. If I remember correctly from your previous post, the LG had a lower end resolution (840x?) whilst the Samsung is 1024x768 and a better contrast ratio of 15,000:1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brakkies Sport Fotos Posted December 5, 2007 Share thanks jamm, yes the LG got a 10,000 x 1 this LG is at the Hipermarket, the other one with that specs was from Makro. I'm not sure what this one's resolution is. will find out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen Posted December 5, 2007 Share Popeye, send me a pm, with your email address, I have the correct info for you. We did some research a few months ago at various stores and at a few suppliers, what we found is that each sales person per store gets a kick back from the suppliers. No store wanted to play a fast moving dvd on LCD. The two Plasma brands did not offer kick backs. Reason - LCD has a shadow when playing fast moving pictures.

GreyOwl Posted December 5, 2007 Share I miss books... What ever happened to books? They were so nice with all the pretty pictures and stuff!! We have LCD TV, and its OK, nothing to write home about in all honesty... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreZA Posted December 5, 2007 Share I know in the PC world they state that if you want to play cames on a LCD you hould not settle for anything less the 8ms refresh time. Slower then this and ghosting apears. PC monitors are down to 2ms already. Do they not state this on TVs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
