Dazkarieh Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 pedrocasilva, didn't you read the terms of use for those MH3 pics?? marcel, the gameplay is awesome... miles from the nightmare in PSP (honestly only played it about an hour, but while on the Wii it was pick up and play, on the PSP...). It's very very good in every way It's like being in a real ecosystem, with different species acting differently to your presence or moves. Really awesome
david.dakota Posted May 22, 2009 Author Posted May 22, 2009 The Panasonic NeoPDP screens are really good. Supposedly almost like using a PS3 for DVD. I can't buy that. I'd spend all day stroking it, rather than watching it.
Grazza Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Just a thought, but have you considered an LED TV, David? I don't know what the upscaling is like, but I saw one running a CGI film the other day and it's the first TV screen I've ever seen that I could describe as "flawless". OK, you have to sacrifice size, but it seemed worth it to me. I can't guarantee you won't stroke it though!
david.dakota Posted May 22, 2009 Author Posted May 22, 2009 (edited) Just a thought, but have you considered an LED TV, David? No, i wouldn't. Not as a main TV. While i'm not sure of the upscaling features (specifically for Wii), i've done a fair bit of research and don't think the LCD tech is there- to coin a phrase i read, you just get more bang for your buck with Plasma. *EDIT* I read your post as LCD. I'm so used to having debates with a mate who thinks LCD is better tech, i read most things as LCD. So to answer your question... No, i've never considered, but will look into it, actually. The Panasonic NeoPDP screens are really good. Supposedly almost like using a PS3 for DVD. And they do a 64" model (at £3, 500, mind you). Fuck, yeah... I'll end up with no living room, and no chance of sitting in their either (i'll be in the dog house). Edited May 23, 2009 by david.dakota
Grazza Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 LED screens are LCD screens with LED lighting. The new Samsung LED LCD stuff is terrible if thats what you are referring to. Sony are much better at it as they are the ones who pioneered the tech for many years anyway. Judging tv's at shops for Picture is a no no. You pretty much cant. Yes, it was a Samsung. I thought it was amazing. Obviously I wouldn't buy one without looking into it, but I thought it was worth consideration.
david.dakota Posted May 28, 2009 Author Posted May 28, 2009 The Panasonic NeoPDP screens are really good. Supposedly almost like using a PS3 for DVD. Just had a test run at SMC, a local independent, the G10 50". Bluray looked astonishing, really vivid, and blacks so very, very black- Night in the Museum, which showed off the rich colour, brilliant black and some really sharp whites . DVD on a bluray player didn't look too bad either, obviously not up their with the bluray but impressive none-the-less. The DVD suffered slight blockiness, mainly in the misty early scenes in Philosophers' Stone, but livable- it did seem to hold together CG stuff better. The chap's happy for me to take the Wii though, just to make sure. Just need a component cable, which they don't have.
david.dakota Posted May 28, 2009 Author Posted May 28, 2009 i did ask. They didn't have any demo DVD units, which is fair enough. Can't expect them to open one, and have no intention of buying.
