Cheap Plasma/lcd Upgrade 40"+

Recommended Posts

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.

A famous footballer (Magarey medalist) here in SA and good mate of mine had real bad image burn from a Pioneer Plasma after 11 months.

Radio Rentals replaced it with an LCD.....he paid the difference.

Just a question about the above brands......so don't give me another smart arse answer or I'll jump thru ya monitor and tear ya head off......are all those brands with that resolution actually plasma?

I'm definitely no expert in this field but 5 years doesn't make you a rocket scientist either.....my brother has been doing it for 17 years and my brother in law since the late 70's so I'll need to clarify info with them.

yeah true, not for long though.....apparently they're getting their act together with a select few channels

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!

Huh? :P

The high end Panasonic, Samsung, LG plasma panels are all 1920x1080 res.

My parents got a 50" Panasonic Plasma thats true 1080p,although we don't have anything that high to use it on yet... :banana: , all they watch is SAT TV & pirated chinese DVDs that encoded in vcd res (320*240) which looks horrible on it... :banana: , my Wii is the only thing that puts the TV to decent use, unit I get a PS3.

Maayyyte, I know that..........I'm saying that to get the full advantage of the blue ray disc, you need LCD

Please explain in more detail here, for a 1080p LCD vs 1080p Plasma, they both have a native 1920x1080 res so a Blue Ray disc would display in full detail on either one.

In general, LCD tends to have shaper pictures while Plasma's tend to have more smoother fast motion picture.

As for the burn in problem on Plasma panels, its not that common anymore (it was a major problem for the 1st couple of generations of Plasma panels), although still be a luck of the draw I guess. A friend have got this really generic cheap chinese made SD plasma panel (852*480 res) & all he watch on it is SAT TV where the chinese channels all have a still logo on screen, & he has being using that TV for 2years now & no burn in yet.

yeah fair call....I didn't think the plasmas could get the same res as the LCD's but I stand corrected.

I just got a bit fired up over that clown's smart attitude from the eastside.....very easy to do when you're 1600km away

i still believe that MOST LCD panels are better than plasma due to dot pitch too

alot of LCD TV's have smaller pixles than Plasma

also it doesn't seem so common now a days but the first few generations of plasma you could see black lines between the pixels if you sat too close

Hahahaah this is great!!! monster indeed!

Ok. I have sony bravia too guys... only HD 1366x768 not full HD 1920x1080.

Plasma is available in full HD and was first released by panasonic in Aus. around september last year.

Whether to go HD or full HD will depend on what type of viewing yo do... it all comes down to SCALING.

for example a dvd uses approx 720 line images. If your tv has 768 resolution then its a virtual direct display (no scaling involved) however if you feed in a full HD image it must downscale from 1080 to fit 768. This will still give a good quality picture.

Going the other way with a standard picture (approx 576 line image) and feeding it to a screen with 1080 resolution involves a large amount of scaling to make the image fit and will show just how poor standard tv and foxtel broadcasts are. ie look pretty crap.

So, if you watch mostly foxtel and the occasional dvd go for a HD 1366x768 panel.

If you play ps3 and want to be blu ray and future proof go for 1920x1080 as this is where all development is currently heading.

Doobs... what u smokin???

Lg do not make most lcd and plasma panels. How do you explain the fact that plasma was developed by four brands... mostly FUJITSU,HITACHI, PANASONIC and NEC. Fujitsu were at one point supplying panels to 70% of the market. True that sony did not make their own plasma... it was a hitachi panel.

Sony do make their own LCD tvs. They have a joint venture with samsung in korea to produce native lcd panels, then they are shipped to sonys facilities in japan for X and XBR series, or malaysia for other series where sony add their electronics etc.

Further to this approx four months ago pioneer announced they could no longer compete in plasma only markets and are now purchasing SHARP lcd panels (from sharps kameyama plant in Japan) and rebadging them pioneer. They are now also buying plasma panels from panasonic and rebadging them.

Sony are also looking at this possibility with regard to the japanese lcd panels from sharp.

With regard to image burn on plasma... yes it is possible but highly unlikely with any late generation panels.. earlier ones not so good. I have personally left a static image on a pansonic plasma in our shop for 9 hours straight which resulted in slight image retention or ghost image. After running said panel for another couple of hours on normal tv this has gone. However if you are a big gaming fan I suggest LCD.

sorry for long post guys... could probably keep going!! cheers Martin.

    • I definitely get the low power, sporty car to drive to smash gears but not be doing eleventy million miles an hour! It makes all the normal drives fun!   Rev match tune sounds like the funs! I didn't know the NC had a DBW throttle!   As for me, still have the Skyline, it still has the Barra in it. It's been pushed to the side of the workshop at the moment. Pretty much waiting on me finishing the wiring, and dropping new fuel lines in. Got myself an ACDC Tig end of last year so been teaching myself TIG welding to build a few things for the Skyline. The missus wrote off her GTB liberty at the end of last year, and got it back on salvage rights stupid cheap. It's also still registered, so will mean easier for me to take to the track already done most of the panel damage, just playing "clear the workshop" to make space to pull the motor and box out, fix some oil leaks, replace the clutch, and replace a few minor broken things.  Also got a Lathe at the start of the year, which is adding to the annoyance of no space, which is another reason I'm trying to build things to get more space, to get the Lathe back in a final home for it. It's a BIG lathe, can turn a 355mm diameter, and 1metre between centres... Got it at a steal! So between it and the TIG and old MIG welder, I'll be fabbing some fun little shit up But we've had a lot of shit stuff happening at home, so it's slow going getting things done. But one step at a time!
    • I love Catalunya.  Got a 1:54.632. The AMG is a hoot.
    • I hadn't got that far, my main worry was the connection to the actual calipers themselves. I'm just using new (ish) stock brake lines in the stock setup. I've just had a stud welded to the knuckle that is a little lower than the original stud (so my knuckles have two studs each side) to not have it be stretched so far in previous BBK setups, so the "block" (in the second picture) mounts a little lower for me and I hope I don't need to change anything. I may have even changed the connection to the calipers in the past and have since forgotten I did that. I may not have. Guess how I'm gonna find out. Source: hopium
    • It's more so I'm using the 1x piece line from HEL that goes from the body to the caliper. There's no middle block/mount like the HFM ones or the GKtech ones. There are certain angles/suspension compression where the line actually slightly contacts the ARB. Below of how mine sit (not my photo): How I want it:  
    • Oh I have mine all sitting in boxes ready to go, two sets of rotors, four sets of pads and caliper rebuild kits. They send a survey asking me if I had installed them months ago :p Grinder not necessary to fit the fronts, and not *really* for the rears. They have some good simple videos on how-to. I don't understand brake lines but from what I understand... somehow... OEM lines work, even though people say 350Z and 370Z use different banjo bolts, so it's possible 350'z had some different setup that Nissan changed to the 370Z/R33/R34 system? ....though are a little short, but past-me made a new bolt hole to bolt them to to reach my current fronts so I should be okay... maybe. In any case HFM don't sell any *different* line kits for R33/R34 front brakes than they do for the 370Z kits. So in my mind they must be compatible or they would have different products made to suit the different calipers. Please test and confirm for me kthx.
