Mods, please edit the title of this thread as it is misleading.

2 queries here

1. Dolby Digital decoder - If a TV claims to have this, does this mean that it has a 5.1 speaker output connectivity? We can plug in our DVDs to this and expect the TV to decode the Dolby audio signals and give a proper 5.1 output (maybe on external speakers) or does it only simulate the surround sound 'experience'?

2. Resolution of 1024 x 768 - How can a 16:9 TV have this resolution. The ratios do not match. Can someone please explain this?

Ashwin59, initially i also had this doubt (mislead by the thread title). as explained by WHATSINANAME, it has 1024 x 768 pixels . but it does not create any PQ problem, if you have good distance say 7-8 feet. i think pv8 and pv80 are having the same resolution

The pixels in this plasma are not squares. They are rectangular and hence eventhough the pixel resolution is 4:3 the screen dimensions have a ratio of 16:9.

Hi smnrock,
I bought it from the LG Shoppe near BDA Complex, Indiranagar.
If you are coming from Old Madras Road, take a right at the BDA Complex junction, and then the first left. You'll find the LG Shoppe on your right, further down.
Cheers!

Where can I demo this LG PQ70 in Chennai ? Tried out Croma and Reliance Digital on Mount Road, but could not get a proper demo.

Can anyone tell me what is the current price of PQ70?

Is it possible to attach a laptop through bluetooth to the TV and stream movies to it and watch them on TV?

Hi uppalpankaj, if check Bluetooth bandwidth 2.0+ EDR(Enhanced Data Rate) is maximum 3.0 Mbits/sec or something which will be worse than streaming videos online.

And then if your TV Supports DLNA over bluetooth which i am not aware (Humble apology: but don't think any TV vendor supports that yet)


I have been using Wireless G standard to connect PS3 to my laptop to stream audio/videos.

Audio is flawless over Wireless G(Theoretically 54Mbps, 18 times more than max bluetooth speed), but video is still choppy. And That too, my PS3 has DLNA support for Computer or Any Electronic Interfacing.

IMO its quite impossible to stream video over Bluetooth.
