She deserves it though.

So remind me why I want a plasma again?]]>Oct 21st 2007 9:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/21/lg-announces-first-32-inch-plasma-tv-does-anyone-care/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/21/lg-announces-first-32-inch-plasma-tv-does-anyone-care/
Anyways, 32" plasma is so 5 years ago. But reading all the evangelizing of plasma over LCD at AVS and other home theater sites, I'm lead to believe that there is a market for this TV. But considering that Panasonic, the biggest proponent of plasma TVs (who tends to downplay the fact that they make LCD TVs), doesn't produce this size or the slightly larger 37" panel any more leads me to believe that the market is too small or the cost is too high to compete with LCD. Plus, who'd buy a 852x480 SDTV plasma when you could get a 1366x768 HDTV LCD at the same price or cheaper?]]>Oct 21st 2007 9:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/21/lg-announces-first-32-inch-plasma-tv-does-anyone-care/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/21/lg-announces-first-32-inch-plasma-tv-does-anyone-care/Oct 21st 2007 9:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/21/lg-announces-first-32-inch-plasma-tv-does-anyone-care/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/21/lg-announces-first-32-inch-plasma-tv-does-anyone-care/Oct 21st 2007 9:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/21/lg-announces-first-32-inch-plasma-tv-does-anyone-care/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/21/lg-announces-first-32-inch-plasma-tv-does-anyone-care/

I didn't realize anyone made 42-inch plamas with 1080p. I thought they were all 720p.]]>Oct 21st 2007 9:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/21/lg-announces-first-32-inch-plasma-tv-does-anyone-care/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/21/lg-announces-first-32-inch-plasma-tv-does-anyone-care/Oct 21st 2007 10:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/21/lg-announces-first-32-inch-plasma-tv-does-anyone-care/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/21/lg-announces-first-32-inch-plasma-tv-does-anyone-care/Oct 21st 2007 1:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/21/lg-announces-first-32-inch-plasma-tv-does-anyone-care/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/21/lg-announces-first-32-inch-plasma-tv-does-anyone-care/
Even brazilians aren't stupid enough to buy that.

PS: I'm not being xenophobic, I live in Brazil...]]>Oct 21st 2007 11:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/21/lg-announces-first-32-inch-plasma-tv-does-anyone-care/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/21/lg-announces-first-32-inch-plasma-tv-does-anyone-care/
Você não deveria falar isso sobre brasileiros, nós já temos uma imagem pessima no exterior...

@Post

This isn't the best TV ever but at least is one of the first products to be released here BEFORE the rest of the world! [This is the only positive point about it... And it just for brazilians...]]]>Oct 21st 2007 11:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/21/lg-announces-first-32-inch-plasma-tv-does-anyone-care/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/21/lg-announces-first-32-inch-plasma-tv-does-anyone-care/
Nao e TAO ruim assim. Garantio que a primeira coisa que a maioria das persoas penasam quando pensa do Brasil e as praias e as mulheres gostosas. Bem melhor do que as persoas no exterior pensam da gente, os Americanos, um presidente facista e um populacao de gordos.]]>Oct 21st 2007 7:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/21/lg-announces-first-32-inch-plasma-tv-does-anyone-care/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/21/lg-announces-first-32-inch-plasma-tv-does-anyone-care/

And theres no point to buying a plasma tv if your only going to run things in 480p, besides richer color, there is no benefit, and you can get more TV for less if you only want 480p.]]>Oct 21st 2007 2:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/21/lg-announces-first-32-inch-plasma-tv-does-anyone-care/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/21/lg-announces-first-32-inch-plasma-tv-does-anyone-care/http://tinyurl.com/3ye2hc),
and probably the most expensive wii (http://tinyurl.com/yxwptp). Due to taxes and other stuff, anything with wires is catastrophically expensive here. And since I'm at it, let me give a hint of TVs price: http://tinyurl.com/35km6p . This one linked is 3600 reais, which is about 1600~1800 USD.

This TV (in the post above) is obviously not US-oriented, but that doesn't mean anyone cares. It'd be similar to say the OLPC thing is useless. It is NOT. AND, Engadget do have Brazilian readers (^^). That could be great news to me, for example. I'm planning on buying a 32" Samsung widescreen CRT television, and this LG could be an alternative (tough probably won't since the Samsung has HDMI).]]>Oct 21st 2007 10:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/21/lg-announces-first-32-inch-plasma-tv-does-anyone-care/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/21/lg-announces-first-32-inch-plasma-tv-does-anyone-care/Oct 21st 2007 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/21/lg-announces-first-32-inch-plasma-tv-does-anyone-care/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/21/lg-announces-first-32-inch-plasma-tv-does-anyone-care/
So sad...]]>Oct 21st 2007 12:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/21/lg-announces-first-32-inch-plasma-tv-does-anyone-care/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/21/lg-announces-first-32-inch-plasma-tv-does-anyone-care/
THIS IS THE REALITY OF BRAZIL.

we basicaly have NO FULL HI-DEF TELEVISION. the larger resolution is 13xx:xxxx...

and this is on +42", cause 95% of plasma/lcd televisions here are 8XXx480, and similar to that...

digital television just WILL be launched shortly, but is STANDARD DEFINITION. no HDTV here folks.

so now, as you may see, this is important news to brazilian, and who does not know nothing about "brazilian reality"]]>Oct 21st 2007 1:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/21/lg-announces-first-32-inch-plasma-tv-does-anyone-care/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/21/lg-announces-first-32-inch-plasma-tv-does-anyone-care/Oct 21st 2007 3:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/21/lg-announces-first-32-inch-plasma-tv-does-anyone-care/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/21/lg-announces-first-32-inch-plasma-tv-does-anyone-care/

Actually it is 60%.

I bought a 22" LCD monitor for US$420.00 (including shipping and tax) whereas here I would have paid more than US$900.

I know, it is not like the $250 someone would pay in US, but it was a bargain for me. And it was completely legal.

Different realities make different common senses.]]>Oct 21st 2007 8:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/21/lg-announces-first-32-inch-plasma-tv-does-anyone-care/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/21/lg-announces-first-32-inch-plasma-tv-does-anyone-care/
Engadget's a little confused.

LCD != plasma.

The "Slippery Brick" website lists the tv as being marketed to complete against 32 inch lcds and states that the LG set has a 0.001 ms response time.

I recently watched it at a Future Shop store where it stood on a stand with larger Sony and Toshiba LCDs and the staff were impressed with the sharpness and rich colour images of the 32 inch LG model.]]>Nov 25th 2007 6:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/21/lg-announces-first-32-inch-plasma-tv-does-anyone-care/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/21/lg-announces-first-32-inch-plasma-tv-does-anyone-care/
One week later, I'm completing my (very responsible!) consumer research (by visiting this site amongst all). I haven't read a serious comment yet that would distance me from getting the Plasma version. Especially at 749 CDN$ at Best Buy.

BTW, not everybody has a wall that allows for 60 incher! And we all know that size doen't matter... ;-)]]>Nov 30th 2007 5:05PM
