Purchased LG 37LH50YR.  Does not play MKV file only SD DIVX. Purchase WDTV with HDMI connected.    Upgraded to latest firmware. Can play all M-HD MKVs and BDRIP MKV(11 GB) with no problem.   Only problem, sync problem with one HD music video with VORBIS audio.    For DTS, will need a DTS receiver with optical in. My 6 year old pioneer HTZ-303DV up to the task.   IMHO, side by side comparison, PQ better than Samsung or Sony equivalent model.   

200MHZ Trumotion along with 24P cinema mode works very well. Very lifelike and being there feeling. Just make sure that your WDTV is set to 1080p 24P

Now in the process of purchasing component connector for my WII and PS2. WII is o.k on the 37LH50YR but PS2 is really bad. As for Astro, I have a 6 year old decoder so stuck with composite connection. Upscaler for the decoder is expensive USD60.    Astro is 13 year old technology, so not meant for HDTV.    Hopefully, Astro can go HD soon.

Legend is going for a 42" LH50 for RM3190.

Is it worth it?

The trumotion is definitely better than the last Philips I bought.

Also don't have the backlight problem.

The only problem I see is that it is not as crisp as Philip.
If only Philip had improved the hd-motion and the backlight
issue, I might have kept it.

So, any comments on the LG PH50? Any weakness, side effects?

I've researched the internet, nothing much said about it so far.

For such a cheap 200hz lcd, I'm surprised no one
has bought it yet.

And fear that there is fishiness for such a cheap
200hz lcd.

Wow..RM3199? how come so cheap? i bought it for RM3899 about a month ago from harvy norman and i think the price is still Rm3699..

Well, biasalah price of electronics drop pretty fast.

But how's the quality? Does the image seems crisp enough for you?
I tested it out with my Asus mini pc - hdmi connection, and it seems
very DVD-9 quality like.

I heard that Legend give cheap prices,but also sometimes give used product..so be careful...

anyway,the LH50 is a basic tv,if you want,please go for the philips 7000 series..the 200 trumotion sucks and the 24fps has issues..and another thing..astro SUCKS big time on this set..

But all the Philips have the judder effect and the auto-dim issue.

If you haven't notice, just concentrate on the Philips and you'll
see that it'll auto-dim itself to adapt the bright and dark scene.

I called Philips and told them the problem and they were happy
to give me a full money refund.

I've tested the LH50 with The Wrestler movie.
The opening titles of the movie have the text infront and the
background panning from behind. In my old Philip the text
and background judder like crazy.

But in the LH50 the judder seems minimal.

There weren't any auto-dimming issue either.

I believe there are ways to check with the LG Headquarters
whether your set is a new set or not.

So for me, this is too good to be true,
especially for a knock-out price at RM3190.

I'm waiting for a second person opinion of having the LH50 set
commenting the pros and cons before i decide of getting it.

I think the auto dim feature is a power saving option for the TV,where the picture goes from dim to bright depending on your lighting..

Anyway,i have turned my 200hz mode to "off",i just cannot stand the juddering effects,
If you have decided on this TV,please check also on the warranty,its either 2 years or 2+1..

Please be aware that malaysian sets do not play DIVX-HD,has only 3 hdmi (not 4 as per singapore sets)..you also cannot upgrade the firmware to play MKV files coz its customed to malaysia
