I have bad experience with SONY being their IC board not advance enough... if plug in computer Sony LCD have hard time detecting it...

I would strongly recomend SAMSUNG...

as my experiences, LG customer service and lobby environment at Brew Tower Kelana Jaya d@mm disappointing... even a dirty and unproper clothing air con dealer also walk in into service center and bringing the compressor which dripping some sort of chemical on carpet... some more a customer screwed a customer service staff as he no well training and no professional enough to serve him and wasting his time, taken complain form and left... LG No-No for me...

as for Samsung, my colleague commented and experienced that the stand with fancy transparent plastic thinggy which holding the TV's body, it cracked without reasons and almost smash on his relative's kid that sitting right in front the TV... my colleague send a photo and complain to Samsung and Sen Heng seriously, but still the new 50" big TV also use the same material... i avoid samsung TV (if using the plastic supports) for safety concerned unless Samsung replace it with stand with full metal support which same as Panasonic and Toshiba...

just my 2 cents... no offences...

wow pretty scary for the samsung case, i tot u can use aftermarket bracket no?

lol.....u still dint mention that u care for the Full HD or not.....

Anyway...if normal HD ready resolution (1366 x 768) for 32" LCD..... Sharp 32" LCD will be a good choice...i think.....
u can go to check around and compare..........

But still....for me...if LED vs LCD...i'll vote for LED........i know it's really subjective... depend on person and his/her own like......if i go for LCD mainly just in term or price only...XD.....

Oh ya...just FYI....the Max power consumption for LED (32") is around 70W only...while LCD (32") is around 130W......can try to calculate and c la.......

how bout toshiba? I've compared side by side between Toshiba XL700E, Sony EX520 and Panasonic TH-42LE3K. Toshiba picture quality is the best. Is there any other things that I need to take into account before choosing LED tv?

Well.. if u like it... u should get it... dont think to much

Perhaps I have asked too many in this subforum and people getting annoyed I wish I could buy it without thinking but to think the money I'm gonna spend stop me to do that. Well, I still have few more days before buying tv because am waiting my astro to be installed. Well plasma tv and high end LED tv rules here, so hard to find any comments on entry level LED tv

Go for SAMSUNG... somehow korea are the Leader in LCD/LED at the moment...

Entrylevel LED/LCD Samsung / LG

Sony.... ok only...

is full hd possible and useful in 32" tv?

btw, calvin ng, i heard samsung using plastic bracket for wall mount? is there any steel bracket or aftermarket steel bracket i can use to mount the tv to wall?

Useful.... if u have a good eye sight........
but if u doesn't care, hd ready will be enuf for 32"....haha..

TV Bracket got categorize as "Samsung Wall mount" or "Sony Wall mount" one meh?....
i tot it just different with what design u 1 and size of TV...

if u mention about LCD Back Cover....i think all of that should be in Plastic Back Cover.......

The plastic is the stand... and I dont know about you guys but I dont use it I mount it to my wall

All LCD/LED/PLASMA uses VESA Mount. The wall bracket usually is steel (you buy good one laaa) and it screw into the TV Frame which is also steel/alluminium depend on model...

so no issue leh... furthermore 32" how heavy can a TV get if 55" then I may consider better quality mount

meaning it is noticable if i sit near the tv eh?

haha, icic. SO the VESA mount can buy at any shop la? not only provided by tv manufacturer?

hahaha....ya....

er, i think it is bad for eyesight lol, so don wanna watch too near. my eyes already getting bad lol

hahaha...up to u..hehe...actually i said if u have good eye sight mean...even u see it from far...u also will notice the different between Full HD 32" and HD ready 32"...haha..

which 32" inch model of samsung u guys recommend? for budger rm1k to 1.2k ?
