Hello,

I'm trying to find the 'right' HDTV for myself.. My main use will be PS3 gaming and Blu-Ray.
There is one very restrictive criteria though, I must buy Japanese - It's the insistence of my wife - long story, but if I don't buy Japanese, I don't buy HDTV!!
I went round many different shops this morning seeing what's available and for what price (before haggle) and now I'm really confused.

I brought magazine "What Plasma & LCD TV' but it's catered for the UK market, although a good read.. It helped me decide once and for all that I want to go LCD (lighter, no screen burn, less energy and most importantly no screen burn - I can leave a game on pause for a long time if on the phone).
I picked out two models I'm interested in - depending on budget.. Sharp LC42B20E or the cheaper Hitachi L42VP01 - my budget range is 3000-4000RM depending on what I can find. - But neither of these models is available in the Malaysian Market.

After a lot of Google searching and reading posts on here, I'm totally confused.. Has anyone got any good suggestions/recommendations for the HDTV I need?

Thanks for the Recommendations so far

yeah, i put that in, cause I usually move place once a year, but within 2 years, I should be moving to the UK - transport costs are expensive and are dependent on weight - I don't wanna wait another 2 years (or more) to get myself a hdtv if/when I get there.

Good point - Something to consider definitely

Ok, I've narrowed down my search to the following 5 models, they are all within the same price bracket.

JVC LT42FX77 - 42"
Sharp LC42A66M - 42"
Sharp LC46PX5M - 46"
Sony KLV40S550A - 40"
Sony KLV40S310A - 40"

I'm struggling to find decent online reviews for these sets.. can anyone point me in the right direction or say from experience about these models..

I wonder if their is a HDTV review site where people submit their own reviews (like amazon) but for Asian/Malaysian markets?

Thanks Neoardi,
Regarding the PX5 The guy in SengQ said it was FullHD, but just checking the Sharp website now, it appears you're right.. Thanks for the heads up.
