What could the Sony HX855 possibly do better than the Panasonic that it's worth the 700€ more (other than the lower power consumption which would save ~20€ per year)?Fudoh wrote:I would recommend a Sony LCD over a Panasonic plasma if you're ok with the extra money the Sony costs over the Panasonic. The Sony HX855 (available in 40 and 46") is a marvelous TV, but it's nearly double the price of a mid-range 42" Panasonic plasma.

yes, that's right.Doesn't the Panasonic have less input lag? 24ms vs 28.
I can't watch a 24p movie on a different display anymore. On the Sony you can chose between 24, 48, 72 and 96fps and 48 is just awesome. Kepps the film look 100% but eliminates the 24p judder.Does Motionflow make much difference if you watch at 24p anyway?
I would recommend a HX7 or HX9 since they get into the 35-45ms lag area, but the HX8 is sub-2-frames and that's perfectly ok. Yes, SOME Panasonics are a few ms faster, but you can't notice that, not even if you have them side by side.Yeah I know it does that cool pseudo 48fps thing if you want it to, I'd take decreased lag over that though.
I think the top VTxx models still have VGA.So Panasonic doesn't offer VGA on all models no more?
The Panasonic TX-P42GT30E came up when I filtered for TVs with VGA input, but that seems to be an error :/ If it had VGA I'd buy it, but this way I'd have to keep my old monitor for the SLG3000 and that's not really what I want.Fudoh wrote:VGA Input (which the mid-range Panasonics don't have.)
The TX-P42VT20 is the last with VGA and that one is not sold anymore.Fudoh wrote:I think the top VTxx models still have VGA.So Panasonic doesn't offer VGA on all models no more?
not at all.is viewing angle much of a problem on the sony hx855?
Got it from Amazon.de WarehouseDeals, they still have 2 for 560€. They sell the ones that were returned by customers after testing for 10-20% off. In Germany you have the right to send stuff back within 14 days (30 on Amazon) without any reasons, so many just order multiple devices to compare them at home. The one I got had no marks at all even though they wrote "might have minor scratches on the front".kowski77 wrote:I'm just in the market for a new TV myself and really like the EX655 as well.

all the same.so i can expect the hx855 to have a continuous input lag of about 28ms when feeding 1080p through hdmi? would it be noticably lower when using the vga or pc-hdmi inputs?
when was that?alamone wrote:I've tried a public display by Mitsubishi, it ended up having about 6 frames of lag.
can't find that particular model on any of the major shopping sites. is it even that good aside from the low input lag? besides, i was looking for a 46" display anyways :/alamone wrote:My recommendation is Panasonic TC-L37E3 or L32. These are Alpha-IPS with low lag (about 1 frame) and no buffering electronics.
does that mean it will screw the picture up or will it just not even activate unless film-based material is displayed? i just read that motion interpolation is a contributing factor to input lag which is why most displays let you turn it offFudoh wrote:Also Motion interpolation never works on 60fps material.
so you turn it off (i guess with game mode on most displays), alright. apparently the hx855 gets a lot of shit for banding and/or having a "dirty screen effect". can you tell me what that means and if it's really something to be concerned about if the display is used for games? (thinking it might be a side-effect of the motionflow).Fudoh wrote:the feature will still impact the input lag, even with 60fps sources, because a cadence detection running is running in the background trying to find 2:2 or 3:2 cadences....
i watch a lot of animated stuff, so that doesn't sound too good to me.Watch a CG movie with low detail and wait for a pan - oh god - there it is - visible as hell.
