hehehe...almost 40k price diff...settled na 42" ang kukunin ko...
pwede ba malaman price to quality ratio ng:
42PY700
42PY800
42PV8
42PV80
Since you mentioned PC games mas maganda mag FULL HD na kayo, bec of a higher native resolution.
My pics would be the Sammy 40A650 FULL HD and the Panny 42PY800. (BOTH FULL HD)
Pro's and con's
Panny 42PY800
+ Very good black levels
+ Perfect viewing angles
+ Great stock sound system
- Green Phosphor lag during fast scenes esp. for FPS games (Normal for plasma)
- Image retention after rounds of gaming (washes away when another film content is played)
(WILL DO A FULL PY800 IMPRESSION SOON)
Sammy 40A650
+ Good color tones
+ Dedicated entertainment picture modes like "Sports, Games, etc"
+ Fast response time with no motion blur
- Uneven back lighting
- Plasma is still better when it comes to standard cable viewing
Both units have nearly identical performance when it comes to HD movie viewing.
