k3nnis888 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Thanks I am thinking to get a new TV soon. I only had this 42" like in november last year. But i am going to give it to a family member and purchase a bigger set hopefully 50". I don't think i will get a Full HD as i don't think i can justify its price. It will be a plasma. Probably between the panasonic 80 series or a samsung? I wanted the pioneer 508XDA but can't find one! What do you think? Cheers, K. Nice find! I've got one too and couldn't be happier - I feel like it's given the old DVDs a new lease in life.XE-1 is more superior (and the Oppo 983 better still) but you'll only really notice if you grab a beanbag and sit up nice and close to your TV 42" at 3.5m - you won't notice any difference between an EP-10 and XE-1.

Grabbing an 508XDA if you can somehow find one (I read there was one in Canberra?) otherwise it's between the Pana 80A or Sammy Q91. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k3nnis888 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Thanks I have almost given up on the pioneer. So its down to the Sammy Q91 or Pana 80A... Helpppp I wonder if anyone have compared the 2 sets? That's exactly what I'd be doing.

I was in the JB at Kedron (Brisbane) today and I am sure they had a 50" Kuro for $2999. (They also had the 1080p model too) If that is what you are chasing give them a call to check on it.

daztheclipper Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 does anyone know how much i can score a A650 47 or 40 inch for? for what its worth i picked up a 52inch f8 series 6 weeks ago from the GOODGUYS for $3880 after the $300 cashback, the 52 inch f8 picture is brilliant especially with the 1013 firmware upgrade , leaves the 58 inch Sammy plasma picture for dead in my opinion and you dont have to worry about the LCD becoming less bright as it racks up the usage hrs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWedgie Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 hdrocks: cheers, must have misread your post the first time. Had another look, NFI where I got the idea you were running VGA from Absolutely loving the F8, going to go get myself a 'free' HT-TX30 now. ($150 + $200 cashback, but the TX30 only costs $350). -Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

automan Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Yeh saw the new 6 series with the rose red color frame 32" full hd. Looks real nice. Also saw the 5 series 40" full hd at $2399, jst looks like a F series frame type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalhome Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 And at last Samsung have put a semi-decent remote with the new range. To a lot of people the remote is not that important, but now the buttons are spaced apart enough to use if you have large fingers. At least this is one confirmed improvement to the new samsung line-up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie88 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Got mine last night cant fault the tv except the remote ITS UGLY!!! Very happy with the picture, still need to tweak it a little but very impressed. Only concern is that DVD's aren't all that great, is this due to the DVD or would something like a HDMI DVD player fix the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagg Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 yer jamie88.... what model and size did u end up getting ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie88 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 (edited) In short 32" Series 4 I didn't notice much difference between the 4 and 5 series, only when i was really close, it wasnt enough to justify another few hundred. i stayed at 32" as i don't think it would look right in the room if it was any bigger. Certainly a nice upgrade from my 19" LCD Im not sure about posting pics so if its not allowed pls delete it, the whole things not set up yet still need some speaker stands and re do a few things. Plus everything is coming out of the room in a few weeks so it can be painted and re-aranged excuse the quality of the phone camera. BTW big thanks to Selby, last night as i walked up the front steps there was my hdmi cables, perfect timing Edited June 13, 2008 by Jamie88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanneko Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Went to about 5 shops this morning and was told that the ETA on the 4 series was still 2 weeks Is there anywhere in Melbourne that I can buy one now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corza13 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Hi All, I am having issues with this TV when enabling xxYCC colour on the menue. I have an Oppor 983H and Pana BD30. They both support it and is enabled in all menus. When I stop a DVD on the Oppo and then try and play again, the screen goes green over the action being played? I do not have this problem when xxYCC is set to off in the Samsung menu? Anyone else have this problem or heard of it. I would like to resolve this as I see a nice difference with xxYCC enabled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_ash Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Hey guys have been watching this forum with much interest over the last couple of weeks looking for information on what to buy. My girlfriends father was in the game for a 50 inch plasma so this afternoon we went to Myer to check them out. He ended up buying the panasonic 50pz700 for 2950 with delivery and 3 year warranty. Myer's tag price was 2699. While we were there i spotted the new 6 series samsung which i was planning on buying thanks to information from here and the features. Looked really nice in the shop nice frame, although for $400 more i think the sony x series had a better picture but tag price was $2650. Ended up getting the 650 40 inch for $2250 which had a tag price of $2619 from Myer in Southland get delivery on Monday night. Will fill you guys in when i get it monday.

Pleasure Paulie Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Yes, definatly let us know your thoughts about it after using it. It will be good to finally get some user experiences on it! Do you know if the 650 in australia has the USB port like overseas models do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rajat Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Sony also introduced a new product range lcd (Full and HD) to compete with Sammy.Cheers These new sonys. What do you know about them. There is word that there are new sonys lined up - a whole new set (S,V i think) as well as updates to the X and XBR series I havnt been able to find model numbers for these new ones. Normally if u can find the model number (for example the new sammys) u can go to international sites where they have already been released and check out the specs Any info?
