Norman_Chan Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 My review for the 42PD9800TA is out. http://asia.cnet.com/reviews/home_av/tvs/0,39037585,39786042p,00.htm It beats the Pio 427XG's TV broadcast PQ but lost out in PC text quality. But the former is of course more important in my opinion. Best of all, Pio RRP is 4499 and this Hitachi is only 3999. Street prices for both should be cheaper. Phil Sorry to ask ...do you see any "flicker" effect on the plasma ? As claimed by some user that they can see the flickering effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil1624705739 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Not as obvious as e 8900TA, only in a few occasions Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
over_zealous Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Both 9500 n 9800 support 50 and 60Hz 1080p. FYI Phil Does it mean that the 9500 does 1080P at 24Hz as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil1624705739 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Does it mean that the 9500 does 1080P at 24Hz as well? Nope. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dB10 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 hi phil, since you're the expert on this brand can i ask your reply on this query. in your observation, what or how much improvement/difference is there between hitachi 42pd8800 and 42pd9800 in terms of pq that is clearly noticeable? would you recommend a switch considering the difference (without putting the 1080p connectivity in issue) or is the difference not worth the expense since most features are the same sans the new engine and higher contrast ratio(a very important issue though)? thanks in advance for the reply :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
over_zealous Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Nope. Phil Phil, value your opinion very much. The Pioneer 427 is 1080p/24Hz. Does it mean that it is very good for watching movies at 24 frames per second unadulterated? Currently the transmission of HD is only 1080i, it seems this TV is good enough for the job. But the specs of Hitachi 9500/9800 looks impressive. Unfortunately it does not support 1808p/24Hz as you have said. Does it mean that it will lose out to the 427 as the current source of HD is from Dvds? For now, it seems that only projectors support 1080p/24Hz/50Hz/60Hz. Hope your opinion can sway my decision on which TV to get. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennis1624705842 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I did exeperience a few time and at first I thought that it was due to the SCV but after checking in the net, I come to know that many people are facing the same problem as me. Here is the LINK to HWZone where the Hitachi themselves admitted to having this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennis1624705842 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Hi dB10, I bought the 9500 and I had mine for almost 1 month now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dB10 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 since when did you notice that flickering? i noticed the flickering when i went to demo units january this year first i saw flickering in a 8900 model so i looked for a shop with a 9800 on display because i thought they should have that resolved with the new model :(, but since my eyes are a bit sensitive to 'noise' , i chose a different brand ;) the reason i ask is maybe it only comes out when the unit is extensively used (like in a showroom) and not when the unit is new out of the box and used in a normal household.

sunzisky Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Hi Lo Any updates on the flickering issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy1624705846 Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 It's appeared on all lcd & plasma. U need to be observance & concentrate on a particlar spot at a time to see it. It's not really obvious. And its depend how sensitive you are..... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunzisky Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I will be watching it in my bed room,theres no window,cos its sealed n hidden behind my cabinets.The only light source will come from my bed room door.so its a dark room.So the will the issue be very obvious?

dB10 Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 sunzisky, we have a similar room condition, our bedroom windows are covered by insulation to prevent too much heat and help the room aircon, only little sun comes thru to the room so its fairly dark without lights unless we take one panel of the insulations down. i noticed that flicker is more obvious when lights are out than when on when i had the 7800ta. When i was looking for a replacement unit last jan, i demo a 42pd8900ta and pd9500ta in a ht store and could notice flickering specially on the 8900. sitting distance from the panel i guess is what is key in not seeing these artifacts, more than 2.5 meters distance is recommended but not an assurance.

rramraj Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Hi Guys, Need some advice. For those who bought the 9500, did the set come with both wall mount bracket and the tv stand or you had to choose either one. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
