keltong 4 Report post Posted February 23, 2008 Palladine I believe is china brand vs Akira which is local brand. The Palladine series are generally quite low in quality, at least it is when I look at them previously. LCD prices have come down so much and it will be better if you are spending on a LCD to go for something more establish. My humble opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am also attracted by the good prices. It is not made in China for sure. They are Korean parts assembled in Singapore. Just for information, most Japanese brands also use LCDs made in Korea.The latest full HD version seems a good deal at NTUC. 37" at $999 if you charge with the NTUC Plus card, else will be $1199. Just missed the offer on 42" sold at $1399 and now it is back to $1699The 37" really looks like a good deal, except; the sales person told me that one of the features indicated as PIP (something like picture to picture thing is not working... even the agent cannot offer an answer to it)They are on offer while stocks last only till end of this month.Hope info is helpful.

gingerbelle 0 Report post Posted March 20, 2008 my hubby bought Full HD 42" Palladine LCD TV @ recent IT fair @ suntec. he bought @ $1499, comes with free DVD player(worth $129) & HDMI cable. i can say graphic is quite good. as my hubby bought on the 1st day of IT fair, he said the agent told him, alot of ppl bought this lcd tv cos the specs etc is reali comparable to other brands & the price is attractive.Currently we r using this tv in our entertainment cum gaming room. my hubby used this tv mainly for his PS3/Wii/PS2 & oso link to PC & i can say, the graphic is great. is worth the buy. afterall to us, tv is juz a tv. no need to buy so good brand. best of all, my hubby's boss gave him a Home Entertainment system after he knew tat we bought new tv. BEST! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mighty6 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2008 (edited) Thank you all for responding. I think I also got a good deal over the weekend at Carefour. They managed to get me $1499 less 5% direct discount (only for last weekend) and less further 5% through "Everyday" card.Confirmed new stock with "Hard Screen" from LG, only available since 3 months ago.The former "Soft Screens" are from Taiwan.If you draw across the screen with your finger and you can see trail marks, then it is a soft screen.IT will arrive later this week at my house... If all OK, may consider getting smaller ones for all rooms.Cheers Edited March 24, 2008 by mighty6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mighty6 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2008 OK. Already running the 42" and the picture quality is good I must say.Only setback is there are limited AV connections to other devices unlike my previous TV. Even have to use 2 SCART/RCA convertors (fully used), with 1 set as output. The S-Video is also utilised (direct connection to other players) and that leaves me with only 2 direct HDMI ports (1 to X-Box & 1 to DVD), VGAs and component connectionsPicture quality via free-to-Air is grainy, so will have to watch via SCART selection connected to SCV's RCA output. Sound is so-so even with selected sound-surround options and others... can't really tell the difference... So I output it to my Onkyo Amplifier / entertainment system to make the best of it.So now watching the F1 races will never be the same again... especially when the Ferraris won the race tonite Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
