gobbledonk Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 For what it is worth, the latest issue of 'Atomic', a mag dedicated to high-performance computing (mainly gaming), carries a review of 22-inch monitors. While they tear strips off most of the contenders, LG's entries (W2252TQ, W2242T) both receive very high marks. The only monitor to come close was the Samsung 226BW. At AUD $269 and $239 respectively, the LG units are bargains - I paid $400 a pop for a couple of 22" monitors just 8 months ago. For gaming, I am not entirely sure that going to a 24" or larger monitor is a win, but that's an individual choice : I realise these arent TVs, but it reinforces TM's claim re. LG and bang-for-buck. As always, YMMV. Gobble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stickman Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 but I'm not sure if that will hold now that we have slid back to 77 cents on the greenback.Gobble Mate, the AUD is at 67c now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavanami Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 The quality problem is that most are made in China and the QA will throw out a poor TV but the Chinese will sneak it out and sell it anyways! I knew a guy that bought several hundred Sony DVD players that QA had rejected and he sold them in Malaysia at a cheap enough price. I bought one, lasted about one year and then died. Here placed it for free but most other customers he did not replace the bad units All in all it gives Sony a bad name, so Sony was suppose to move their operation out of China, just for this QA reason...

Mekong Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Can anyone comment on LG? I have been told LG as a company is very efficient and produces high quality at low prices. We got a 50" LG Plasma (PG20 Series) 3 weeks ago and well impressed with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddy Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Why is everyone buying LCD at this size? I have just bought a 60 inch Pioneer Kuro PDP-LX6090 Plasma and it is absolutely stunning. It won all the awards this year and it really deserves them.

gobbledonk Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Hi Teddy, Mate, the debate rages on, but it will be interesting to hear your impressions of the plasma 12 months from now. My personal opinion is that LCDs are more reliable, but they have had their problems too. Main thing is to find a good reseller who is prepared to stand by you when you have a problem, and the better manufacturers *have* upped their game : things like 'zero dead pixels' on a warranty are an improvement on years gone by.
