Plasma = 1366 x 768 Max

LCD = 1920 x 1080

How can plama quote true 1080i HD then?

Was never an issue with SD but just because you can send a HD signal thru a Plasma, doesn't mean you get true HD......only possible with LCD!

Sony who have been the innovators of TV for decades are phasing out Plasma for their LCD Bravia range........and prices are coming down on LCD so why would you bother with Plasma.

Big Radio Rentals store at Melrose Pk have stuff all Plasma now and are concentrating on the future, HD 1080i LCD.

LCD's don't but plasmas still do bro.....go into most dept stores these days and you'll see them clearing all stock of plasmas and focusing on LCD's (now that they are coming down in price) because of all the returns on plasmas

That's total BS mate. I work at Harvey Norman and i get 3 times as many LCD's back than Plasma's.

Wrong again mate. There's a number of plasma panels on the market

with 1920x1080P resolution. And sony never made their own plasmas, now they don't even make

their own LCD's. They are manufactured by Samsung, Sharp and BENQ.

for sub 2000, have a look at the Hitachi 42PD960DTA

http://www.hitachi.com.au/pr-42PD960DTA.seo

Ive got that, awesome

Hitachi are no longer distributing panels in australia.

^^That's true. Most LCD and Plasma panels are made by LG.

I love this Hitachi. Got it for the family when I got off the bike....

awesome, 60000hr half-life, 1024x1080 panel, so its HD down the side.

viewing sports is awesome, so clear (down to individual dew drops on footy park, etc)

same goes for movies. wouldnt use it for a PC monitor tho, go LCD for that.

So Sony aren't focusing on their LCD range now and are still selling Plasma under their tag.......crap!

I never said Sony manufactured their own panels, I was talking about future sales......read before you type pal

who makes a true 1920 x 1080 Plasma by the way.....just curious?

BLUE Ray isnt a broadcast format Pete thats a bought

if channel 10 was to broadcast blue ray that would have 30 mins of adverts and 10 mins of program just to pay for the bandwidth used to air the show

we got a 50inch Samsung plasma from jb hifi ages ago this one was around 5K with all features and shite. but then when we got it home we realised it didnt have a HDMI out i think it was when we needed it, but we worked around it.

we got foxtel hooked to it with a dvd recorder with hard drive so we just record foxtel on that it works killa.

I've never had a plasma with damage from "screen burn" in the 5 years i've been

working in the industry.

Samsung, LG, Pioneer and Panasonic all make Full HD 1920x1080P panels.

Maybe you should think before you type "pal". Don't assume you know all the

facts.

Guess I just wanted to vent a bit. LOL

that's cause now a days with the internets and all this product propaganda where all experts

Yeah. The best way to buy a TV is to take your favourite DVD into a store

and get them to play it on the TV's you're looking for.

Then get the one that you feel makes the DVD look best.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
