Hi bros, need some advise...i have narrowed down my options as per below:
If i goes for Plasma:- Samsung 3D Plasma 43" PS43D491
- Samsung Plasma 43" PS43D451
- Panasonic 42" Plasma TH-P42U30K
Note: I kinda like the sammy (because its value for money) but the aspect ratio 4:3 (1024x768) such a turn-off for me. Unless somebody can convince me that its not a big deal in term of PQ and no problem watching 720p without scaling.If goes for LED:- Panasonic LED TV - L42E3K (50hz

but extra 2 inches)
- Toshiba LED 40" - 40PS10E (not sure PQ better than Sammy or Pana. also dont know if its capable of 100hz)
- Samsung LED UA40D5000 (seems like a good option but not sure on it media player capabilities)
My major requirements and viewing preference
1) at least 40 incher
2) willing to extend to RM2500 if the models comes with good media player which can play at least 720p mkv x.264 DTS file.
3) can hook up 2TB HDD and play movie directly.
4) If possible, at least true HD ready reso of 1280×720 or 1366×768.
5) If LED, at least 100hz
If my requirement no 2 and 3 is not possible with the above listed models:
- i would rather go for cheaper model with the remaining requirements met (No 1,4,5)..
- And just hook up dedicated Media Player (WDTV, AcRyan) to the TV....
- Example: Sammy Plasma 43" PS43D450, Panasonic 42" Plasma TH-P42X30K, Samsung LED UA40D5003
Appreciate any advise from the expert and current user....

So, hows the tv shopping.. bought any tv yet
anyway... if i were u... i narrow it to two choice
i. Pana U30plasma.. issues is glaring, n media capability is the worst
ii. Samsung D5000 led... minor is not good 100hz function, good media capability, not sure on 2TB disk, but 1TB disk no issues (in theory since this TV support ntfs, 2tb should no problem supporting, but it may not work as some 2tb hdd require higher power consumption)
