cracker Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 How many of u had bought a full HD LCD TV ? Care to give the brand and ur review of it... thx.
Lucifer Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 I'm currently using a Sony Bravia X. PQ wise, it's out of this world, esp for gaming and watching DVDs and BDs. For normal SDTV, you also get a pretty good quality. Price wise, of course it's quite steep, but my wife fell in love with the design of the TV, so it made my task easier :D

My main usage will be TV esp when EPL season resume in Aug...plus DVD watching. My mind says "HD ready should be enough"..but heart said " go for the x series or other full HD model.." !!

Bro 4+ for a 40" Bravia X? That's a good deal if it's true man, cos my friend just got his recently from neighbourhood shop also, paid about low 5s for it
cracker Posted June 11, 2007 Author Posted June 11, 2007 Bro 4+ for a 40" Bravia X? That's a good deal if it's true man, cos my friend just got his recently from neighbourhood shop also, paid about low 5s for it ic..cos the official retail price was $5999 when I asked back in early May, the shop owner just slashed abt 16 to 18 %..probably ard 4900 to 5000. ( nett price inclusive of transportation)..but she told me dun buy first...there will be another round of price slashing..with more Full HD model coming in... at the same time. HN was offering abt $700 of vouchers which can be deducted immediately...meaning the price will be 5299. that's why I think 4900 or below is a possible figure.
HT102 Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 The lower prices of X200 are likely due to the coming of X300 and X350 series. I expect these new models to feature MotionFlow (100/120 Hz frame rates) and x.v.color support (/w HDMI v1.3a). IMHO, the real improvement is in the higher frame-rate which will eliminate motion blurr.. great for fast action scenes and sports (e.g. soccer). The more affordable W300 series should also be available soon.
yellowhandman Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 The more affordable W300 series should also be available soon. i'm hoping they bring in the W series...

Sony is really milking the x.v.color support situation since there is no source providing it unless you get one of their latest overhyped and not FULL HD (1440x1080i) video cameras with x.v. support as well.
FirstTime Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 ic..cos the official retail price was $5999 when I asked back in early May, u mean the retail price of Bravia X40 has gone up instead of down? was considering getting it as well. Being thkin abt it for a veri long time. :P

Guest francis woo Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 Save your money on HD LCDs and go for the 50' Plasmas. You get better PQ on both TV programs and SD/HD movies, and bigger viewing screen too! With both Panny and Pioneers' going around $4,000 you won't and can't go wrong... ;D
htfreak Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 Unfortunately the 50" Pioneers are still priced above the 6k mark in the market. Only the 50" Panny can be obtained at the 4k price that you stated.
Guest francis woo Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 You're right but I think you can still get the Pio 50' at Mega around $5 to $5.5 k!!
Lucifer Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 Not everyone's living room big enough to hold a 50" lol ;D
Guest francis woo Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 Bro, if you can accept a 40", then a 50" does not make any significant difference in terms of physical size.. :)
