haha see? We can look past our differences and post in harmony. all Panasonic products are great, i got a panasonic home theatre 5.1 setup hooked up to my computer that i bought a few years back and the sound is superb, altho theres better out there.

I'm pretty sure Sony use Samsung panels. I heard that from a salesman when i was TV shopping but then again salemen can talk alot of ****.

yeah i must say i was a little disappointed to see most PS3 games in 720p although the difference is minimal but remember PS3 has other features like blu ray movies now THATS where 1080p is a requirement.

From a normal viewing distance its almost impossible to tell the diffrence between a Full HDTV and a HDTV. You should only notice the diffrence up close.

Now Full HDTVs are the same price that HDTVs where 6 months ago.

I think the Contrast ratio is more important

Contrast ratio and luminosity are the two most important things.

of course

samsung N8 or M8, that is the question now damnit, the M8 is going way over my budget.. but it looks to be the better tv. better contrast ratio, better picture etc for abt 300bucks more.

anyone here have an N8 or an M8? comments?

this thread has really gone off, hasnt it?

Manufacturers use their own ways to rate/test contrast ratio. A samsung claiming to have a 1:8000 Contrast ratio, may be the same as a Philips claiming a 1:1500. There is no universal standard for contrast ratio. So you realy need to see them on display, in diffrent lighting conditions.

thanks for all your help guys.. its much easier getting input on LCD tvs' from a gamer's perspective

does anyone here have the samsung 40" F8? does the 100Hz make a difference in games? according to specs, that's the only difference between the M8 and the F8, and the more expensive F8 is kinda out of my budget..

is it worth getting the F8 over the M8?

thanks in advance

Now that is the top of the pops for TVs at the moment. In fact have been for a couple of years. Can't beat Pioneer plasmas, especially the new Kuro. In any respect. You do indeed get what you pay for.

Jinx i have the M8 40" and it is fantastic, the most impressive thing is no burn in for me at all, i leave games on for hours at a time sometimes, and i do not notice any problem whatsoever, my friend has a Panasonic and within an hour of playing you could see burning, fortunatly it went away the next day but surely it cant be good.

If you cannot afford the F8 u will not be disappointed with the M8

ah really?? thats great to know.. thanks for that!! have you experienced and motion judder when you play games? I'm concerned that 8ms response time might not be enough, but i could be seriously wrong

i didnt know that! they guy i was speaking to at bing lee said otherwise! i'm guessing he was just trying to sell me a more expensive set then?

I can only assume that you would want to watch blu-ray movies with your PS3 too, i mean who wouldnt so i would suggest 100hz..FD3S, technically pls explain how fast motion in games isn't affected by 60hz models. V synch?
