Advice on 40 or 42 inch LCD TV

[angry]

I've short listed about afew models.... they are
Samsung:
- LA-40B550 series 5 which is a 100Hhz (better for seeing action movies or sports)
- LA-40B650 series 6 (but its the most ex samsung I am considering)
All above free 26" LCD TV

SONY
- KLV-40S550
- KLV-40W400A

LG and SHARP have not go research.... I don't think I would wana spend about >2.5k for a TV since now, the prices dropped greatly.

I did see the SAMSUNG LED TVs... damn nice but I won't pay lah.. hahahah

My old CRT last me 5yrs which I think is more than reasonable liao...

Sony KLV-40S550 got free sony dvd portable player cost 299 bucks and free 250 bucks choice voucher last months.....don't know still hv this offer...

Thanks SC... I know I will hear something like this from you.. TECHIE guy.. hahaah

Ya I do know about the panel but when I compared the Samsung display, it did look alittle inferior to LGs... (no offence hor to any samsung tv owners)

me just a hobbyist and nothing more

may i suggest you look sharp. i find the saturation abit more even. i currently using LG, and regret it big time. given the money, id rather go for the bravia (sony) or sharp. tho another problem i feel, is that uneven backlight for lg models. if i not mistaken, they are using ccfl, just like all other LCDs out there (anyone wanna correct me?)

Sure, anyone interested in Philips product can PM me to arrange to meet (working hours only) at Philips showroom (Toa Payoh), i flash me work-badge and you get the discount. But please dont ask me abt pricing cos i have to get down to the showroom to get it (too troublesome). Sales ending on the 3rd July.

yup pioneer has pulled out of the plasma market due to poor sales. (too good for tom dick and harry consumers who know jack about plasmas)

i think fujitsu is another individual company who makes plasmas inhouse

[116520]

I prefer Plasmas as I will get "dizzy" watching LCD TVs... I find that plasmas's color is more natural. On the other hand, there is a "shadow" if you watch one or two chanels very often. For mine, there is always a "MickeyMouse" shadow on my lower left corner of my TV...

hmm. What is the model of LG u bought? I sort of finalised on a LG model or a Samsung. Saw the Sharp. It's not too bad too.

as per sms.

jazz, frd say.. following choices.
1). mid 2+k for b650 ( which is new model ) .. free lcd 26" lcd promo
2). 3.2k for B6000 ( led ) free 32" lcd promo
3). promo, also 100hz, series start with A ( older model , not B, which is the latest model ). slightly less thn 1.9k. free lcd promo, dunno wht sz

he say, either go for led ( which is abt 700 more ex thn the b650.. but the led is slim, sharp and much lower wattage thn the lcd )

or

go for the cheapest ( which is A ) and hv abt the same features as the B, and save 700
