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.

AmaD: I think that u have 2 go around and look for yourself. Dont mean to be rude its just that everyone has a different perspective or brand loyalty when asked. I faced the same question like you b4 I purchased my LCD TV. BUT b4 we start..what is your budget as this will most likely determine the selection available.

p/s: I bought a 32" Samsung Series 4 LCD TV based on feedback from lowyat and some research online.

Here is the link on cnet.

Hope it can help you and anyone out there looking for 32" LCD TV.

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...

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.

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)
