SBOB Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 also, samsungs new c91 model will be released in the coming weeks, and from reports will be the same as the US's lower 42&50" models, meaning only main difference is it has the normal colour filter not the 'purebright' colour filter(ie less reflection) around $250 less on each model compared to q91 just FYI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InterestedUser Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Optical Audio Out Does anyone know whether these Q91 Plasmas have Optical Audio Out from the inbuilt tuners. I am aware the new M8 LCDs have Optical Audio out. I downloaded the manual and there is no specific mention of this interface, except these appears to be a Audio Out plug next to the PC input plug on Page 7 of the manual. I asked the Sales guy at JB hifi and he assures me that the Q91 plasmas do have an Optical Audio Out. Can anyone confirm this please. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nlorinshel Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Hi everyone. Got my 40" M81 today. Going through the setup of the PC through VGA I found that I couldn't get the TV to accept my PC res at 1920 x 1080. It would goto auto adjustment & when my display returned it was on the old res. By going through my display settings I noticed the refresh rate was set to 70 Hertz. By changing that to 60 I was able to get it to accept the 1920 x 1080 res. I hope this is helpful to some who may have some problems with the input from the PC though the VGA port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llsTixll Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Hey guys Just a quick question to the 40" M81 owners. Had a look at one today on display and noticed that it didn't seem to stand perpendicular to the stand, ie it was leaning forward a bit and not standing straight. Is this adjustable and if not, has any M81 owners noticed this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llsTixll Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Also, anyone have the TV in a well lit room? Is it quite reflective or not too bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMD Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Howdy My screen is perpendicular and this doesn't appear to be adjustable, so I suspect either your eyes deceived you or the store has wonky shelves! I have the screen is a fairly bright room and the reflectiveness has only been apparent when the screen is turned off, so not a problem. I do avoid watching it with bright sources behind me though, but in full daylight the screen is perfectly watchable. Hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderlips Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 PS, I put my deposit down on the LG 47lb2de this afternoon.. pickup saturday. Not going through the same backlight bull!@#$ with samsung. They better get both panel and firmware right first... amazing really. Gazz, when you get the LG can you tell us all about it in a new thread please. I've had my eye on this one as well. I've got one of their older 37" models and it's worked nicely over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrrrjez Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Hi Folks, Just wondering how you feel about running you pcs on La m8 40s? What vgas are you using? Not having any luck looking for vgas with hdmi outputs, please, some pointers. I'm interested in what theatre set ups your using too, i'm impressed with the Bose, but not so keen on the price and cables! Watched 300 last night, stnd dvd, upscaled through hr-735 on progressive. WOW! God bless Frank! Thanks for your thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a crappy old PC hooked up to it at the moment to play my MP3's and to run our wedding photos as a screensaver (keeps the wife happy ) and it runs just fine. As for Home Theatre, see my earlier post. Buy it up in bits, skip integrated systems (though i'm sure the Bose one is very good). Shop around for parts and don't be afraid to go 2nd hand. My setup is probably very crude by enthusiast standards, but it sounds great! Ignore the snobbery, there's a lot of it about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palindrome Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Shonkey*, messed up the model number sorry."I can supply the new LA46M81BDX for a special cash or credit price of $3499.00 " www.Theelectricdiscounter.com.au I just spoke to Paul at The Electric Discounter. $3499 is for the 40" M8, not the 46". He wasn't sure how this price got quoted. He also said that they didn't have a price for the 46", but expected it to be around the $4500 mark. Bummer!

Gazzz Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 interesting, as i queried the 46" model number, price came back for the 40" model number, and when queried he said that it was in fact the 46" and had mis quoted the model number Thought it was a good price...

Solo, could only get $10 extra of the price....... figured it would cost me more than I was saving to come into town to grab it $3100 is still a pretty awesome price Was going to get a heaps better deal from HN (closer to the figure you were told for 2) but they wanted full payment there and then!! My price is at the Good Guys, no deposit down just have to go and pay in full when the unit arrives in a few weeks. So I guess I can still shop around and if I get a better price can just call them and cancel over the phone Does your other tele have wheels on the unit???? They can push it home....

Punkarella Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I finally got the people at Jb's to match the 46" price at $4,100. They have a centeral database, and know exactly how low someone else has gone before in another JB's store around Aus. So anyone should be able to get that price, Prob less if you really are a good hagler, but I'm too lazy to run around town these days. Thanks for all your posts about the prices everyone got for me you saved me a few quid. I can spend the extra cash on a HD-DVD drive for the 360. I'll be getting it in a few days. I'm a little worried about the firmware issues, can anyone confirm if the 360 with the new dashboard update is now working on VGA over 1080P?

chris@aanet Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I ended up taking the 50inch back. Got the 46M81. I've yet to see these two models, but I don't think I could live with less than a 50" screen and the 52" LCD is too expensive. Did you you miss the 50' screen when you downsized? From what I've seen of other brands, there seems to be a fair bit of difference in size between 46" and 50". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteknightoz Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 yeah about 4 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heiser202 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I actually like the size of the 46 LCD. The 50inch does look nicer though, if that makes sense. The quality of the 46inch is amazing though. Im getting used to the DTV difference and it is clear, but just not as clear as the 50inch. Weighing it up, the 46inch is awesome if you watch HD-DVD/Bluray and play games. The 50inch is great if you watch alot of local tv shows. For myself i d/l tv shows, but i still think they was a little bit clearer on the 50inch. I prob went over kill and should have got the 40inch. The 46inch only looks a slight bit smaller than the 50inch, anyone who wants a 50inch tv get the 46inch you wouldnt hardly know the difference.
