regardless of price

which one do you think has the best stats?

or better yet rank them all on a 1-10 scale and how would they compare to each other
 
need more info other then BEST.
picture? lag? how many inputs? etc etc

As for me i would recommend the panny lz800 , i have a 37in one and loving it. MY opinion would go like this
panny lz 800
samsung a650
sony xbr6
sharp
LG
toshiba

But if your using it as a PC monitor then everything the same except sharp would go to the bottom because of multi pixel tech
 
sorry i meant to say as a pc monitor as well


so whats wrong with this multi pixel tech? what does it do exactly if you dont mind me asking
 
panny lz 800 over samsung a650? I would think samsung a650 would be superior. No input lag when set to PC input and no power supply humming like the panasonics have been reported of having.
 
as for input lag for a650 i wouldnt know, but so far panny doesnt have any lag playing cod4,AOC and TF2. comparing the black level, the panny win on that. also picture look more vivid then the a650. even tho the a650 has a better contrast ratio but to the eyes, panny win. As for humming sound, mine 37 doesnt have unless u literally put ur ear up against the back of TV. there were only 2 reported on AVS forum which one is defect and the other one was unlucky.
Also from reading the avs forum, the samsung is better for PC because of better looking text. samsung also has PIP which i wish my panny does. IF your tv location has alot of windows, it would be better going with samsung since its semi gloss if i remember correctly. the Panny is glossy.
For cheap go for toshiba, if not research about the samsung sony and panny over at avs. or even better, bring your laptop with hdmi cable to BB and test it out on those 3 monitor.
Multi text, go to AVS forum and they'll tell you all about it.

BTW to get 1920 by 1080, has to be HDMI cable or those adapter. the PC input doesnt go up that high
 
i am not sure, thats why i put if i remember correctly. i thought the 650 was semi glossy and a550 was matte. Is it that much cheaper online then retail store?
 
Bigjmaster, i forgot to mention that all of the lcd except panny uses pva panel. Panny uses a-ips panel. and the LG i am not sure which panel it use
 
Oh thanks for the info guys! sorry to be a noob but whats the difference between the IPS panels and PVA?

i heard alot of stuff about IPS but not PVA

I was looking into PVA vs a-ips to get a good comparison. I saw a few things including that PVA has less input lag and better blacks. On my previous post, I showed that a guy was getting 0 input lag on a samsung 650 with a S-PVA panel. Is this becuase PVA have just advanced enough to get around this input lag? The thread I was reading here was written in 2007 so I am wondering if the PVA tech has gotten better to reduce input lag.
 
I think the input lag results from the avsforum post were obtained from testing against a laptop lcd. To get the real input lag you would need to add the input lag from the laptop lcd to his numbers. I don't think the a650 has 0 input lag. Course I could be wrong I don't actually own one.

I have a Panansonic 37" 1080p and there is NO humming noise. Razor sharp pics. Went for the matte panel due to personal choice. Else would have bought 32LZ800 .... IPS panels are better when calibrated

Only 2 companies make IPS panels: LG and IPS Alpha (owned by Matsushita). Guess its a personal preference. The IPS panels have more accurate colors (skin tones for example) and a much better viewing angle IMO
 
what are the benefits of current S-PVAs? I don't really get the big deal with viewing angles for computer monitors. I would think most people who are using the computer look at the monitor dead on when using it.
 
i love my Toshiba 32rv530... perfect for everyting i do. no complaints at all. I read good reviews about the Sammy also only thing bad was the sound quality.

Viewing angle can be an issue, even dead on, where the extreme sides on an S-PVA panel may look slightly less saturated than the center.

I don't know the measurements on these particular sets. Presumably, the S-PVA will have better black and contrast and the S-IPS, maybe better color, but almost definitely a better viewing angle.

Overall, for LCD, I like the Samsungs. However, I'd also take a good look at the Panasonic if I were buying today...

(And I'd also consider the Samsung LN-T4081F LED backlighted set with local dimming. Still very expensive, but quite a bit less so than a few months ago...)

Breaks up the pixel to render what Sharp believes is a better picture for TV. But it makes PC output, such as text, a bit rougher...

I was thinking the same thing, unfortunately, I can not find a person who has tested it against a CRT. I just hope the laptop screen on what he was using has very little input lag or relatively none at all. I have been researching 32" 1080p HDTVs todeath trying to find the best one. I am pretty sure I am going to get the samsung. I just hope I don't find it to have some insanely strange amount of input lag I feel.
 
I actually got the Panny 32LZ800. Looks amazing tbh. Red text on dark baground looks kinda washed out for me. But thats because I am nub at calibrating it. I can hear a humming noise IF I stick my ear to the rear of the monitor, but only then. So basically any other time never. Also the Sony 32xbr6 looks great too but for 200 more? Why? The Samsung 32a650's werent in stock anywhere locally. The Toshiba was ok. $50 less than the Panny. Overall very happy with purchase :D
 
I haven't heard a whole lot of information on the Sony 32XBR6 either. I know the response time is a little slower than the sammy, but I am also concerned about the input lag on it.

Glad you like your panny erwoc, post some pics!
 
I will soon. Getting my digital camera back from my little brother tomorrow. THEN I have to clean my desk. I've been debating on doing a before and after pic...Just to show the world how big of a slob I am :rolleyes: IE:How many cans of soda does it take to obscure my tower...answer issss....77. At least they are stacked neatly.
 
I got a question. I know you probably can, but I want to make absolutely sure you can use SLI when using a DVI -> HDMI cord to connect to a HDTV.
 
I also want to know if i can use PIP in any of the tvs with input sources other than tv

like having my pc and my xbox 360 at the same time between hdmi sources

To my knowledge, PIP doesn't work with HDMI sources on the 650 series :(
