Best 42" HD LCD TV in the market

[boybi]

What is the best HD LCD TV in the market now? I checked the Sharp Aquos 42" LCD TV (forgot the model) recently and I was not impressed with the picture quality. The price was around 120-130K with free stand or wall mount or HT.

Samsung LCDs looks impressive. Parang "naungusan" na yata nila Sony. Features and looks wise, lamang ang Samsung, although I haven't tried checking the other brands though.

Yung Sharp dati, sila no. 1 sa LCD, yung Aquos.

i think samsung. maganda ang review ng samsung LCD kesa sa Sharp. i think ang hindi nagkakalayo ay ang samsung at panasonic and sony na rin.

Medyo mas maganda nga yung LCD ng Panasonic na nakita ko kasabay nung sa Aquos, pero hindi pa kasi yata HD yung sa Panasonic kaya hindi ko na masyado binusisi.

Maganda nga yata reviews ng Samsung.

sony pa rin, basta X, D or V series in that order he he he

by the way, may digital tv broadcast na daw abs-cbn sa 2008, 2015 phase-out na mga analog

We have a toshiba regza at home.... at 90k from my source its a real steal!

Samsung has the best value for money...marami na ring nagsabi na maganda ang after-sales service nila over at pinoydvd.com

Yung Sony naman, nasa 80-90k ++ pa rin yung 32-inchers nila. Parang overpriced masyado. Eh Samsung as low as 59k na lang yung 32", tapos may HDMI port na yun.

Parang hindi e. Parang LC-42P*** and LC-42B*** yung model. Ang difference ng P sa B is black na yung borders nung P na parang Samsung. Yung sa B is parang grey ang border.

I spent around 2 hrs kanina sa Automatic Center in Glorietta checking out the flat screen TVs displayed there. Sa mga LCD TVs, the best PQ for me is the Toshiba Regza, then the Sony Bravia comes next. Malaki yata ang effect ng 100Hz na refresh rate ng Regza, as compared to 65-85Hz sa ibang brands.

Nagtagal ako sa plasma TV ng Panasonic. Sobrang ganda talaga ng PQ. Yung mga LCD, kung ordinary DVD lang ang i-play, sobrang pixelated. Pero dito sa Panasonic plasma TV, sobrang linaw pa rin. Sulit lang ang LCD kung HD ang input, totally walang pixelation.

And with a price tag of 109K for the 42" model, with free HT, pedestal and wall mount, tapos 18months 0%, I'm tempted to get this.

I asked about the burn-in problem of plasmas, sabi nung salesman, hindi na raw problem yun. May new feature daw to prevent burn-in ng mga pixels. Kusa daw mabubuhay yung mga burned pixels after around an hour of viewing.

Eto yung model:


Panasonic Vierra TH-42PV70 Plasma TV

Features :

* 1024 x 768 Resolution
* 10,000:1 Contrast Ratio

Ganda pala ng reviews ng plasma TVs ng Panasonic. Here's a thread about the TH-42PV70 from pinoydvd.com:

From one of the posts in the thread:

Here's a summary of what they're saying in foreign forums:

(a) Panasonic plasma has been practically burn-in proof since its 7th gen. model. No problems with burn in or IR (image retention).

(b) Pioneer has no problems with burn in, but sometimes shows IR.

(c) Hitachi is prone to IR.

(d) Samsung and Sony are burn-in prone. (Sony discontinued its plasma line)

What are the price ranges ba ng mga 42" LCD and Plasma TV?

Considering na wala pa ata HD broadcast sa pinas..is it worthwhile feature?
