I also watch downloaded material via my screen with surpurb quality. :)

So as you can see there are stories for and against both technoligys.

Im sure either way what ever you choose you will be happy as you will have made a big upgrade from your old box. :P

u sure about that col? (yer, im not suprised you editted .. . )

i dont know too many plasmas that do 1080 .. . . and the ones that do are hella expensive

http://www.cnet.com/4520-7874_1-5137915-1.html

my 50" does wxga and is crystal clear, not too many plasmas even do that

and the fact that plasmas are predominantly lower res than equivalent lcds dont make em that flash for pc monitors

Edited by Spook's_Skyline

I was thinking of two different things there spook, hence the edit...

But yeah the lcd can have a higher res, but they cost a lot more.

Like a 1366x768 plazma 50" would rrp round the $3499 in Samsung

their same 1366x768 50" LCD rrp's round the $3699 mark in Samsung

that said

their 1920x1080 50" LCD rrp's round the $5999 mark in Samsung

So i guess you get what you pay for... Yes 1080 is the best on the market today but is it worth the money, well only a question the buyer can answer.

Yup my brother has the 60" version of what col has by the sounds of it, I was all keen to rip piss through him for getting rear projection, but admittedly it's pretty awesome. Hats off to newer technology and 1080 :)

does your plasma support it though?

or is the 1080 signal just being downsampled to HD>?

another thing to consider about plasmas, is they use an extremely large amount of power

significantly more than an equivalently sized lcd

I've recently purchased sony x series 46inch lcd, it was voted lcd of the year and now i know why!!

It has full 1080p resolution which will be perfect with the ps3. A little on the pricey side but well worth it! Try JB hi fi.

zomg sounds like exactly the same one as I got, the KDL46X2000. I could not be happier with it :)

I would recommend Plasma, Better colour, solid black not a washed out black around the edges, also the Plasma tv's have a much higher contrast ration of 10000:1 to 15000:1

But if you want a LCD i would go for any of the new XD Samsung tv's

  • 2 weeks later...

Plasma - for watching TV, Sport and movies ( screen size is best at 42" and above)

LCD - best for high res viewing ie. pc input or media center (also ps3)

there is a samsung model that is 1080p for just over 3k and is a 40"

panasonic have some 1080p plasmas coming out but are very expensive. 50"= $5499 rrp 58"=$9999

Thank you guys

Ended up going with the LCD option, a 47 inch Toshiba, with full 1080dpi, for 3.6k, and also a ps3. Haven't ventured outdoors much over the weekend, but it's worth it, as I have gained the title of heavy weight champion of the world on fight night 3.

Now getting some money together to upgrade my turbo, and buy a motorbike. I am sure I will post up another thread asking for advice when I get some cash, which is late next week I think. :thumbsup:

Heh, I did when I first got it, and my mate kicked my ass for about six fights in a row. I think that was the main force behind spending the rest of the weekend sitting on there, so I am ready for him when he comes back. I don't take losing very well. Probably the reason why I am planning on upgrading the turbo as well. :thumbsup:

    • Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?
    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
