TQ for ur comments. I'm appreciate it. How about Samsung LA32A450?

ikan_semilang : Colors are vibrant for the ps3 and 360 I set the output to 1080P and downscale to what resolution the LCD is capable of. Noticeable difference is colors. 720P will get better colors but the images are not as sharp. Sadly the sound produced by the LA32A450C1 is only marginally better than LG or Toshiba Regza.

(OT)
There is an audio out from the LCD TV so I hooked it up to my Speakers and Sub-Woofer unit.

NOTE: The LA32A450 speakers are down firing and are reflected to the back of the LCD TV compared to other manufacturers.

thanks for the link..

my budget is somewhere between 2000-2500.. any price nearer to 2000 is much more preferable to me.. something entry level like the Bravia S-series..

Thanks again. Any recommend lcd tv below around RM2500?

AmaD: I recommend you to go to harvey norman or best denki then u see for yourself what kidda display you like. Having said that these are a few which you can fit into your budget. HOWEVER this selection is wallet priority. U need to do some diggin and shopping to make the final decision


Sharp LCD TV LC32BX5M : est (1,899.00) note contrast ratio
Toshiba Regza LCD TV 32AV500E : est (2,099.00)
Samsung LA32A330J1 : est (RM 2,199.00) Series 3
Sharp AQUOS LCD TV LC32A33M : est (2,199.00)

Might be off budget
Samsung 32'' LCD TV LA32A450C1 : est (2,499.00) Series 4
Sony Bravia LCD TV KLV-32V300A : est (2,699.00)


and just for the Fun of it
Samsung 32'' LCD TV LA32A550P1R : est (3,499.00) Series 5

big big thank you!

About all of these selections, I suppose someone who isn't tech inclined of sorts won't really be able to tell the difference, no? Like 1080 or 720p? I'm sure not everyone that walks in for their first HDTV purchase knows or understand what all the fancy terms means, despite how big their wallet is

Like me

For that price, y dun u get a 37". Price easily starts at RM2799.

Wow... i almost got a Sony KLV-32V300A (RM2599) until i see ur msg... now i have to reconsider and do research again...

btw, any particular brand with 37" at this price??

Does that mean LA32A450 can accept 1080P input and downscale it just like the Bravia S series?

theGOne: That is affirmative for the LA32A450C1.

Sony Bravia S users please assist.

I bought the Samsung LA32A450C1. I did quite alot research on the net and go find out/look at all the models available in harvey norman, best denki, HSL, Carrefour, Jusco, shops.
The result is for around 2.6k price, samsung LA32A450C1 is quite a good choice with good graphics and design. I take a look at sony's Bravia, they dont look good with their prices.
Another choice is sharp Aquos. good graphics but quite expensive.

mind to tell me when did bro bought this one and now selling howmuch?(the lowest price..),thks

actually, sony has released new V series model KLV-32V400 for 32" bravia lcd (the model is identical to W series in appearance, not the spec laa..)

got black, brown & red color

the RCP price is RM2999 (but you can get ard RM2700 (plus free gift) if you able to nego)

around 3 weeks ago, i bought at 1400 w/ free dvd player

prazole: you bought a 32" Samsung Series 4 at RM 1400 ???

Simactol : bought it a month ago RM 2699 + FOC Samsung DVD Player (Best Denki)

Yeah.. I compared both V and S series last nite (coincidentally Harvey Norman placed them side by side).. most likely i'll take the S series since it's rm 500 cheaper..

for u guys out there, i found a Sony shop in Ikano who accept trade-in for old tv, any model, any size... they want my obsoleted 14" crt tv for rm 1000 if i take their 37" or 40" V series TV, or RM200 for 32" S and V300A series.... not bad leh... limited stock...

Star_Scream: Hmmm thats a very good bargain. I would not have mind a 37" with a 1K discount.

but wait a sec..

I wonder how much is for a Sony 37" first.....

37" rm 4299 minus rm1000 = rm 3299
40" rm 4999 minus rm1000 = rm 3999

hey... dun take all arrr... leave one unit for me

A shop that accepts trade-ins for old TVs? Now, that's interesting. Wish I can find one around here, too.

LG/Samsung/Philips. These are the cheapest few. I cant recall any particular model though. If u really want to save, u should buy a 'phasing out' model. Best place for you to hunt is hypermarkets, they often do 1 model only heavy discount kinda promotion.

Anything new is just overcooked, LCD performance as we know it will only fall flat on your face. Watever you do, try to stay away from 32" model. I have one which is purchased years ago. Adequate at that time, but no longer holds the candle to the latest slew of bigger boys.

Isn't true? If like that i want find cheap tv 14" and trade in to get lcd tv. Can get rebate RM1000 for it......

oh yeah... should have try the hypermarkets too...

very agreed with you on the 'overcooked' part..




True... i wasn't sure if my 14" is still working but the sales guy said they dun mind, they juz wanted to clear their old stocks...

hi,not sure if this has been asked before but anyway,i'm planning to get myself a 32" LCD tv.I saw a fellow forumer selling Samsung LA32S81 for RM1780,now i need you guys input on this lcd.the only downside i found about this lcd is the vertical frequency which is only 50Hz..is this bad?i'm planning to use it for playing games on the PS3.the reason i'm interested with this model is because the price is within my budget.

since there's ppl already started using samsung series 4 .. care to share ur setting?

i'm using this with a minor tweak on brightness

Thanks Evirober. The new Bravia S series specs listed support for 1080p input. Quite a number of Series 4 user here

Guys, got any advise on this Sharp LC32A53M? I really dint wanna buy Sharp until I saw the 100MHz thingy, which does give quite a big differense... Price is 2899 from Harvey Norman but I'm pretty sure I can bargain for a better price, or just go somewhere else. Any pros and cons about this model that I should be aware of? Playing PS3 and for Blu-Ray movies

yes.. i'm a happy user here! w/ samsung lousy dvd player.. surprisingly its quality is not so bad!

i have a few tips.. dont use edge enhancements if your pairing with ps3.. coz jagginess really become very obvious.. i generally try to avoid those noise reduction also coz i think those are made of inputs more inferior than HDMI.. they actually kill of the details (try for yourself)

do u guys normally buy any extended warranty for your LCD?

anyway anybody using samsung LA46A550?

ya ya..i'm one of em.

Playing mgs4 with my bravia S. From my perspective...the visual rocks!! So does the S-Force Surround

@prazole

Can tell us where you bought your Samsung Series 4 for RM 1400? And with a free DVD player some more??

WOW.....why the price so cheap there.....?



Thks bro for this info!

planning to buy Samsung LA40A650 this weekend. d shop quote me RM6600 w/out free home theatre. any comment bout this baby?

Hi all,

Need some sifu here to advice.

Currently I am using my laptop to watch DVD with my 37" LCD TV, connected via VGA (RGB) cable. The pic quality is acceptable and I am not sure if a DVD player with HDMI would makes it even better? or maybe juz a slight diff?

Is the pic quality from my setup now is limited due to the:-
1) vga cable?
2) graphic card?
3) software i used to watch DVD?

the output to my TV is 1360 X 780, picture is superb, but when I watch DVD, the resolution dropped to 780 X 480 (based on the info from media player classic).

If there is a huge differences from a HDMI DVD player compared to PC input, then i might consider getting one...

Any advice?

SS, there is a noticeable difference between vga n hdmi. even on my panny 32, by using hdmi, composite or svideo also got diff. now using philips dvp 5968. no more pixelated videos.

RM2400

typo..

1400 is impossible

That's why I was wondering as well. THe cheapest Samsung and I don't even know what series it was is RM 1,999

Top up a bit more and get Pana PY800
No LCD can compare with plasma response time of 0.01ms

Have to agree on this. Plasma still the best option for fast moving scene. The reflection panel issue isnt as headache as before since they adopt 'anti-reflective panel'

hi i m looking 4 lcd monitor 2 play my xbox360 1.
19 inch will be ok 4 me..
so can any1 intro??
budget is around 600-700 lo..

actually 1700 already have if u know where to look for it..
S7 series i think

S7? This is a very old model. It was replaced by S8, which was recently being replaced by A330. There are other newer model from other brand for abt RM2K

thank for ur info. might consider this. interested also.

Hi, where did u get this quote RM 6600? which area? SS2? Official price is RM 7999 is it?

I just put a small deposit for the Samsung 5 series 40 inch lcd tv with the free home theater syetem form RM5480. Anybody has any review on that lcd tv before i commit fully to buying it?

Hmm about the Aquos LC32A53M, I bought it because its 100Hz, however when using my PS3 it only shows as 60Hz, and the option to turn to 100Hz is greyed out, wha....? Can anyone tell me how do I put it to 100Hz please? The manual is not helping, and I'm stuck with this for awhile already

Is it because PS3 can do output of only display @ 60Hz and not 100Hz?

LG 32LC2R

Isn't enough to displayed PS3?

I got it around RM1k...isn't good bargain?

the shop in butterworth & kulim area. retail price is RM7999 included free home theater, umbrella & bag.
