Nikushimi Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 ^^ Regarding the IPS panels, I saw an LG Tv with IPS panel and was told that only LG has those, atleast in the 32" category. I dint notice much improvement in pic quality though. Theoretically IPS panels are supposed to be superior. Tbh, I didn't find much of a difference between an LG sporting an IPS panel and a Samung series 5 tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harish Sangwan Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 I compared the same...Samsung 5series and LG IPS panels...the only model that looked better was the Samsung 6series, it stood out from the lot of all the screens..

Nikushimi Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Yeah, Samsung series 6 range of tv's has some sick specs. But unfortunately, they were a bit too costly for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harish Sangwan Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 How much do they cost? I forgot to ask its price. The 5series model was for 36k, pretty good price too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikushimi Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 You can get them a lot cheaper than 36k. After a lot of haggling, I managed to bring down the price to 32.5k, but in the end settled for an LG IPS panel. 32 in Series 6 costs around 45-50k.

Harish Sangwan Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 I was am looking to buy a screen too, but due contraint of space in my room I may have to let go an LCD Tv. But again, the price and the EMI option seem too cheap to decide against it. Always difficult to fight the gadget freak within How good are the IPS panels? and LG as a brand? The only thing that I know of IPS is that of the viewing angle.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikushimi Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 What's your budget like? That's the most important thing to consider before buying a tv. IPS panels supposedly have better color reproduction and better viewing angles. Not sure about the color reproduction bit, as both the Samsung and LG models produced some vivid colors. But I can definitely vouch for the viewing angle bit. IPS panels really does improve the viewing angle. If you want more technical details about IPS panels, you can find it here http://www.pchardwarehelp.com/guides/lcd-panel-types.php And about LG as a brand, I'd say they're on par with Samsung on brand value. It's almost been a month since I've bought my tv and I'm quite happy with its performance and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone. One more thing, get yourself a digital tv connection along with the tv. Ordinary cable tv looks horrible on high def panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harish Sangwan Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 My budget is just for a monitor now, but then EMI option makes the TV affordable. My main concern is about where to put up the Tv, as mentioned earlier theres not much space for a 32" Tv. Had there been a plain wall then I could think of it.

devil_angel Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 That does not make any sense at all. A small monitor would require you to sit quite close to it or otherwise, things would look puny. Whereas on a medium sized tv, you can afford to sit farther. But that doesn't mean you should sit farther. Seriously, there's no difference between a monitor designed for PCs and a TV in that respect? I mean, we can sit at the same closer distance for a monitor and a TV (say a 30 incher) with the same comfort level? That's theoretically okay.....but practically?

landmarktiger Posted September 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 So what iv gotten from this thread is there is no difference between monitor and a TV OF THE SAME SIZE in picture quality. So for a low budget a 22-23 inch monitor would suffice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you sit very far away from a tv, a 32 inch tv will always feel bigger and better than a 22 inch monitor. Why would you want to sit that far from the tv in the first place? I have a 32 inch hi def tv and I sit only 4-5 feet away from it, which is only a couple of feet more than the usual viewing distance on a 20 inch monitor.

Also, the viewing angle is bound to suck. I have a 20 inch samsung b2030 monitor and its viewing angle is terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my question.....isn't it less comfortable than with a monitor to sit nearer to a 32 Inch TV?? I'm asking coz I haven't tried it out....coz you know, we here in India are brought up with a mindset of not to sit too close to television right from childhood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm asking coz I haven't tried it out....coz you know, we here in India are brought up with a mindset of not to sit too close to television right from childhood It's isn't uncomfortable at all unless you sit very, very near close to it. But apparently, it is not good for your eyes. The Nintendo NES was the very first console I owned. And since it had a wired controller I had to sit fairly close to the tv while gaming. From then on, I just could not bring myself to sit farther than 4-5 feet away from the tv while gaming, even if I had a wireless controller on my hand.

Nikushimi Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 guess the parents were right afterall Meh, I've been gaming for over a decade and my eyes are as keen as ever. Mayble I'll suffer the after effects once I'm 40ish... But yeah, my first one was one of those 16 bit (was it? ) consoles and hence I used to sit near the TV as well, so shifted to monitors after PC gaming kicked in.....and been comfortable with a monitor ever since Even with PC gaming, you can't sit more than 2-3 feet away from the monitor.
