mga boss, i really need help >_< hindi ko alam kung ano pipiliin ko sa dalawa, my budget is around 25k. This is going to be my first led tv. Yung t.v. ko po kasi ngayon eh yung may likod pa. Wala po kasi akong makitang magandang review dun sa LG LED 42LS3450 saka 40PU200, nabasa ko pa sa thread dito na wala daw kwenta ang LG pag dating sa customer support.

help mga boss, mas madalas po ako mag laro ng ps3 na FPS, kaya sana minimal input lag lang hanap ko,
thanks guys

You can get a 46 inch for 27k: Toshiba 46PB20.

If you can get the LG 42LS3450 for under 23k, ok na rin siguro since it's an LED backlit tv with a 2-year warranty, to boot.

which one has only one hdmi?

as far as i know, LG has one of the best if not the best customer support.

that is the reason i ultimately bought an LG tv over Tosh even though i like tosh's features back then. with tosh i need to haul back the unit to the store in case of warranty. with LG they will go to your house for servicing. plus LG's customer support line is open even during holidays.

i am also eyeing the 42LS3450 but it is not listed in LG Phils website. i want to be sure if the model is backlit (as opposed to edgelit).

ah yung tosh pala. pwede ka gumamit ng hdmi switch kaso additional cost.

as for me minimum of two hdmi ports ang kelangan. one for media player and one for ps3.

house_rn · « **Reply #8 on:** Nov 25, 2012 at 09:55 PM »

According to the specs page, 46PB20 has 2 hdmi ports, 1 at the back, 1 at the side.

Btt: 40PU200 gets my vote.

Video playback feature
Front firing speaker
LED backlit
Respectable PQ
Full HD
Sleek aesthetic design
Cable signal booster
Full HD among other things.

HTH.

Thats even better then. Sales rep told me it only has 1 hdmi and did not bother to check anymore

I believe the 42LS3450 is Full HD also.

It's the 32" variant that's HD-ready.

There are reviews (foreign ones) that say the 42LS3450 is a 100Hz set, but there are also some which say 60Hz only. I hope those who sell the unit can clarify this

Ispiker101 · « **Reply #15 on:** Nov 26, 2012 at 08:30 PM »

Is Toshiba pu200 60hz only?

zankuro · « **Reply #16 on:** Nov 26, 2012 at 11:06 PM »

Yes 60hz only

Motion interpolation is not the answer if Gaming is the concern.

See here: http://www.rtings.com/info/what-is-the-refresh-rate

and i quote:

"Most people will appreciate the increased fluidity of the video. However, the motion interpolation has 3 main downsides:

- Cinematographic purist complains that it kills the film experience and it is against the movie look, creating a video that looks so real it becomes unrealistic. This is called the Soap Opera Effect.
- The interpolated frames could contain errors or distortions because they were generated by a computer which is not the same as if the camera was really capturing those frames.
- The processing takes a certain amount of time to execute, which increase the input lag, making it not suitable for gaming.

The good news is that LG has a gaming mode.

from: http://www.rtings.com/info/what-is-the-input-lag

Gaming mode

Televisions makers knows that adding a lot of video processing increase the input lag which is why they usually have a gaming mode setting. The gaming mode will disable some of the most time consuming processing of the television. However, the gaming mode is not necessary the setting that guarantees the lowest input lag of the television; you will sometime need to play with the other settings to get an optimal input lag time.

Have never transacted with this guy. Sulit has a good feedback system, though, so you may want to check that.

mga sir w/c is better back lit or edge lit & why?

sdsmds · « **Reply #27 on:** Dec 02, 2012 at 06:34 PM »

add question sirs, sa hz higher or lower (60 or 100) thanks again

Quitacet · « **Reply #28 on:** Dec 03, 2012 at 10:45 AM »

generally, the higher the refresh rate the better. check if the tv has on/off function for the high refresh rate just in case you won't like the soap opera effect.

backlit is better than edgelit as the latter is more prone to bleeding/clouding/screen uniformity issues.
