I am looking for a value for money 42" Full HD LCD TV...any recommendations ? budget RM3K....
use for ASTRO (60%), DVD (40%)

1) Toshiba RV500E RM3000
2) Panasonic Full HD Lcd RM3000

3)


any other recommended Full HD LCD below RM3K ??

I would say those two TVs are adequate enough. Just remember to have at least 2 HDMI ports.

And dont be surprised if you see ASTRO lookin crappy on it. 480i on a 1080p TV= UGLYYY

Might wanna pick up a Blu Ray player or better yet, a PS3. Pirated blu ray (25GB, not the DVD9 fakes) are available these days.

JVC. just got mine 2 months back. RM3k full hd lcd.

if u watch astro more than DVD or bluray, FHD is not the choice.

Totally agree

Full HD TV is for FULL HD signal or Full HD source not for Astro!

Anyway dvds on FHD TV are fine provided u get an upscaling dvd player

but I heard that ASTRO will be going HD this year....if that is the case that the best bet is
to get a FUll HD LCD....or may the latest Panaonic Full HD Plasma TV S series....

(for me, I plan not to spend more than RM3K for a 42" FHD TV ...)

Even if thats the case...it would most probably be just HD ready rather than 1080p.

Most of the sources are at most 720p eg:Discovery HD...1080p are normally for blue ray movies.

I dont think there are any tv programmes overseas which has FHD signal at most 720p only.

yeap, most oversea programmes are using 720p like US TV series.

yeah....

Thats why its better to get FHD for Blue ray/PS3 or blue ray videos on the net(provided u can wait to download 30GB LOL)

HD ready is good enough for normal usage....unless there's a technology where u can change the TV's resolution like PC monitor

Best choice is to have a Full HD LCD and a Full HD Plasma ... that would be NICE. Minimum requirement = 42"
I have one oledi ... now awaiting the other to come ... Money God, pls help !
