And yes, do agree they looks really nice...
Lets see what there reviews say...

Hey! I'm a plasma guy & i just love the new pioneer kuro models.
But the LCD worth buying if one must than IMO should be any from philips, sharp, hitachi & panasonic.


Hey mridul since you seem to the man for the display panels, i'd like to know as your opinion on sharp LCD's & which acc to you would be the best 37" & 32" display.

Cheers.

you are right mate, I just re-read the review i think the reviewer meant at it's thinnest it is 34mm

JVC LT-42DS9 42in LCD TV - TrustedReviews

Initial trends says the panel looks excellent in switched off state, and in switched on mode, with SD & HD materials nowhere near the competitors

in lcds it has to be the sony,although they use samsung panels.sony use thier own backlight and what makes them good is the bravia engine.

a poll conducted last year in uk showed that best 32inch was the sony D series.best 40inch lcd was sony W series and X series.
but the best flat panel was the pioneer plasmas.

the newer sony W400A and samsung series 6 shows black levels as good the panasonic plasmas like (TH-42PY800H availabe in grey market) which is the latest yet to be available in india and TH-42PV80H.
the sony have a measured contrast of 2500:1 although its advertised as 3000static contrast.
but leaders are the pioneer plasmas they have a measured contrast around 3600:1 although advertised as 15000:1 static contrast.

the toshiba,hitachi, panel of the A-IPS origin have better viewing angles and from what i have seen the colors are different from what u see in SPVA,AMVA,SMVA panels.

the IPS based panel have very low contrast the best of them topping at 800:1 measured contrast,and less black levels at best around 0.51 cd/m2 compared to sony W400 which have a black levels of 0.1 cd/m2 and the best of the plasmas the pioneer which have a black level of 0.05 cd/m2 .

next year sony will use sharp ASV panels which i think will be better i like the colors produced by the ASV.

Sony Dont only use Samsung Panels alone...

For there lower series S & V they use Samsung Panels...

But for there Full HD and high end series W & X they either use Hitachi or Sharp...

Last year they were using Sharp Panels (AQUOS), this year they are using Hitachi Panels (IPS alpha Technology)...

the 40,46,52 inch uses a spva panel in W,X series.
my mom cousin sisters , son who works in sony thailand he supervises the assembly line he said that they use mostly samsung panels,in 32V,S at certain times they even use SMVA panels if there is a shortage.the 37inch S series uses a AUO AMVA panel.

he said they have made deals with CMO,AUO,samsung,and very recently they made a deal with sharp.the 2009 models will have sharp lcds as well as S lcd.

so far he as not seen a sony lcd with IPS panel.

u can also,just take a torch u can see inside the tv ,left hand side facing the tv u can just about see a sticker which says samsung panel... korea.... its placed on the panel before the PCB compartment V ,W including the W400A.

Buddy, here you are mostly talking about V & S series, which even i agree are Samsung Panels..

But, tell me have you seen the W400's motherboard...??? and the samsung label out there...???

Sorry, i dont have the copy of the newspaper adv, tht stated the use of IPS alpha technology in W & X series, i will search it and scan it and post it here on forum...

And regarding Sharp...buddy, they will be providing the panels is different thing, but , they have earlier even have supplied them the material last year...

well u can see part of the mobo ,since in its own ventilated casing holes,u can see the bar code stickers on back of the panel there are three stickers,u can see the term SPVA panel.so which i guess is a samsung panel or S panel.

well if they did use a IPS alpha panel,then sony cannot advertize it has having such a high contrast,and reviews does indicate that they use a spva panel since the reviews reveal that they have a measured contrast of around 2500:1.which is more any top of the line IPS aplha panels which peak out at 1000:1 measured contrast .also IPS alpha panel have colors closer to ASV panels and plasmas ,which i guess is a good,but the sony lcds all reveal pictures of VA origin(SMVA,SPVA,AMVA).

u might have seen old newspaper articles when they used those AIPS and sharp,u know newspapers u cant always trust them.

Hi,

As far as I know, the panel development is a joint venture between Hitachi, Panasonic (Matshushita) and Canon (earlier it was JVC). Hence, if you see there are some Panasonic LCD TVs (the 700 and 800 series) available with the panel with IPS alpha logo.

See the following news for more details:

You are very much right, they have finalised the bond...

But, they are all new series, which have started coming these days...

In that HitCHI will manufacture all the Panels, and Systems, which will be assembled and marketed by Panasonic...
