Hi Guys,

Thinking of buying a 46in LCD or LED TV for my living room. I currently own the Panasonic 50" TH-50PH800Y Plasma TV but the power consumption is too high for daily 15 hours viewing (rated 555W). My budget is between 3k - 3.5k. This TV will be used only to watch Astro Beyond while the Panasonic will be moved upstairs and used in a dedicated home theather setup.

do we need to do some 'burn-in' test for the plasma TV nowadays?? it is a must??

I believe your TV can play through USB. Just check in your manual what format supported.

after burn in, ur plasma will have burn mark

Confirm can... tried it on my Le830 but cannot play MKV HD (got pic no sound)

But I think I saw on top of the TV screen, it says support MKV, got pic no sound what is the use =="?

MKV files support stereo (2channel) and DTS/Dobly (5.1/7.1channel)...
obviously ur TV doesn't support DTS/Dobly but only stereo (2channel)

if u want to play MKV with DTS/Dobly audio format, get a good HTiB or decent AV receiver setup instead...

otherwise get a good media player to down mix the audio from DTS/Dobly to Stereo which the most of TV don't have such capabilities yet...

Thinking to get LG 42LV3500 42-Inch for my Astro HD and SD viewing. Any better choice, for a budget of RM2k? I don't care about 3D, internet TV, etc.

I found this model price around RM1999. Last week courts have offered RM1699. Don't know if they have that discounted price now days.

Thanks. I found a better model for the money. Panasonic L42U30 or the plasma version P42U30. Old model, but the spec is good. Full HD, yadayada and only RM1599.

Hi all, new to this topic.
I am looking for 46 inch LED TV. Do not want 3D, but prefer to support internet. I looking at Sony 46 inch EX520 (~RM3300) and Samsung 46 inch D5500 series (~RM3600), Sharp 46 inch LED TV (~RM3200). Both are good to me, I will prefer the Sony for cheaper price, any comment?

Also, so far I know only Toshiba do support RMVB format, but they do not have affordable LED TV 46 inch, any recommendation of other brand that do support RMVB? So far I know, not much brand/model that support RMVB format.

Hi guys, I am getting a new TV for my wife's family. Basically they only use it to watch Astro that's it. Budget is less than RM1500. Looking at 40-42 inch.

Any recommendation?

Thank you.

Sony 40EX520 suit ur budget, i saw from the shop selling Rm1999 when i got my sharp.

Got a sony E380 Hitb, but still no sound... Shit dont know whether the setting problem or?

i would like to know, i'm doing custom made tv cabinet with back panel, does back panel suitable to use full motion TV arm?

i notice most TV with full motion arm are directly mount to the wall but my carpenter said yet i'm still worried.

TV = 40' LED ~15KG
Full motion bracket ~5-10kg

does ur HiTB manual book mentioned that it can support DTS / Dobly Digital?
Otherwise could be the disc player /media player settings problems...

any cheap fullhd plasma worth looking for? senq is having stock clearance at my hometown currently..

Just bought Philips 42PFL7406 Smart LED TV with Ambilight Spectra 2 and Pixel Precise HD for RM 2,700 in KL. Is this a good price?

bought Sony 3D LED TV 40" EX720 yesterday for RM2599 with 2 3d glasses FOC...is it a good deal? bought it at Desa home theatre...
