LG vs Samsung ?

The quality? I played DivX and MKV files and it looked quite k*k. I was shocked. The plasma is the way to go.

High 5, good man! word

Agreed

I have the plasma and it's awesome. Would not take anything else. I tested that Samsung LCD LA40C530 and even though it plays MKVs, the quality is really ****.

I tried out the LA40C650 and it is amazing... Blacks are really black. Contrast and Colour is incredible.

That's a newer model. I haven't seen that one yet, so I can't comment.

Went to have a look at the LA40C630 and saw the LA40C650... Wow it looks amazing!

I took some SD series (The Big Bang Theory) to play, was very impressed with the SD upscaling.

Question: Switched off MotionPlus and played some Dexter HD, I found some scenes played fast/too smooth... Why? or is it just my eyes?

Was it really R7999? Still trying to work that one out, since it's usually R10,000+.

Both are 6 Series so should use the same panels, btw. 650 is usually just a few more connections and different cosmetics.

My 42" LG plasma is now 4 years old and some heavy "glittering" happening. Santa is getting me a 32" for bedroom and it aint gonna be an LG.
Apparently 'old' LG plasmas have this problem. Not sure about LCD's

I think old plasmas in general have that problem, regardless of brand.

But I'm sure she treated you well over the years, especially for TV/sport (if you watch).

When you upgrade it (I'm assuming she's in the lounge, and that your bedroom has a different TV), look no further than the Sammy 42" plasma mentioned in this thread.

Apologize PostmanPot... Govern Mani had a Special on R7599 for the Samsung LA40C650 with a 2yr Guarantee. Blew DION Wired out of the water (R7999 for the C630)

There she is in the back of my Tucson ready for the trip home.
