that contrast is factory announced dynamic contrast, not NATIVE lcd panel contrast. For instance, LG said its model(xxx) is 50000:1, but 42LZ80 is 15000, so I do NOT believe at all LG one is >3x higher contrast, it is totally no such thing ! Always bring one DVD copy(clear or dvd9), then go and hop around to test it side by side from same player source. Then from there u will realise what u like.

oww..thanks..the price is quite cheap, but what about its performance?? is it good to use with ps3??

PS3 works well on FHD LCD tv provided you dont play any football games.

it is so horribly blur when dribbling or turning body.

How abt Samsung 40B530 SERIES 5 = RM3350 and Sony 40 V300 SERIES = RM3250? Which one more recommended?

You can actually checkup out Senq recently offer
Samsung 40B530 SERIES 5 = RM2799 (HDMI cable w/3 Year warranty)

You can get even lower if you are citibank credit user for only RM2649.00

Got my 40B530 for RM2899 at SenQ in Sep. I'm impressed with the black level. So far, I think the most value for money of LCD Full HD TV under 3K. Using a d Pana BD60 BluRay.... clear and nice even with DVD upscale. I think Pana do a good job in upscalling, my older Samsung DVD player dont do so much good in upscalling DVD.

I only have PS2 with component in. So far so good. But again PS2 graphic can masuk museum lah.

As for Astro, you go and get a new decoder that come with component output. That solve your problem with S-Video thingy.

Cheapest I've came by for 40B530 was RM2600. I wanted to purchase the unit but decided not to because the cosmetic finishing doesn't look very nice. Ended up buying a Bravia K40V550.

at SENQ also? I guess this is a nationwide promo right?

yes SenQ and is true if your citibank credit card got lots of point to deduct.....

oohh... u need points to deduct to get RM2650K issit? if no points, then RM2899K?

where to get at RM2600?

i bought mine at RM2800 cash in Penang.

So far have to say the its a damn fine TV.

sharp is good
using now 42"

You dont have to use your credit card point but if you got point then more discount, for citibank card every 9000points =RM50.00, example the 530 set is 2649-50=2599, so the more point you got the more discount

so, it is actually using the voucher redeeming the points from Citibank CC lar.....

aiya, i have Citibank, but onli use them for spare.. so no points. Which means no further discount for me lar...
