Posted in Electronics on 05 Mar 2007 at 4:19 pmI have been looking around for screen prices, and the other day I popped into the Sony store in Kuwait, its sad that the prices in Kuwait is even more expensive then the UK which has a 17% Sales tax, and its still cheaper. In the US its even cheaper. I’m very much interested in the 52″ X series, but their pricing is really highway robbery.

X Series: The main features is 1080P, Bright Colors

V Series: HD, but not 1080p, Bright Colors

S Series: The standard one, not bad but not close to the quality of the ones above

Z lcd over plasma?
March 5th 2007 at 9:32 pm
It’s not like there’s a lot of HD content right now. Better wait it out, I’d say.

lfc-q8: Plasma has better response time, but the current selection in Kuwait is leaning towards LCDs, the only good 1080P is the pioneer and it isn’t available in Kuwait. I have been checking it out, and any big screen is always the low end ones and very few features. Any ones with 1080p and HDMI its always the LCDs in Kuwait. For response time the Plasma is better the LCD, but LCDs has closed the gap so much its miniscul!

3baid: Not HD content from sat providers, but keeping the quality high for HD-DVD, and Blu-Ray DVD, plus upscaling the quality of games on Xbox 360, PS3, and DVD upscalers, the quality is fantastic! And that is really worth it, but the prices in Kuwait is rediculous!

Carlsb3rg: In tests the Sony is much better then the Panasonic!
Carlsb3rg: The Sharp Aquos is really good, but as good as the Sony X Series, I checked them out at Best Buy last year. But the Sharp Aquos is very good and a good deal too! Especially the 52″ one!
