I wonder why will Sony introduce their LED LCD TV to Malaysia, like this one?
Bravia ZX5 LED TV (By the way, is this true?)

Sony was the first to introduce LED LCD TV. Dated back to as early as 2006/2007, the Bravia X300 series already using LED as backlight. It's just that Sony never bother to market the them as LED TV like samsung did. Even today's X450/XBR/ZX1/ZX5, Sony is still calling them LCD TV.
The ZX5 is real. If i'm not mistaken, this model wont make it to our shore

har, really? I tot all Sharps are Made in Japan. If locally assembled, then I think they need to re-look into their pricing.

i goes like this..all the engine for whateva sharp LCD is made in malaysia either in SP or Batu Pahat..only the engine..then this engine been ship out to kateyama(largest factory in the world) for assemble the LCD panel and fully combined..i work for sharp in SP and the LED engine is like hot goreng pisang..this month only sharp SP produce 100K++ unit..huhuhu ot byk..
and yes all other brand buy LCD engine from sharp..sharp the only have the trademark pattern la..sumting like that la..
Sharp is the inventor of liquid crystal display, but never the sole maker of LCD TV or panel. Samsung/LG/Sony have their own plants. Regarding the processor (engine), sony/samsung never bought it from sharp. Get your fact right as a sharp employee.
As for the panel, it is true that Sharp made them all back in Japan, but the TV is assembled in Malaysia. Nowadays most of the TV is made in SEA to avoid heavy taxing.

ok makes sense, but i believe its called LED LCD TV and not LED TVs right?
and yea, the panels i guess are the same but the only diff is just the backlight then? Am i right so far?
i believe actual LED and OLED tvs are far too expensive to be manufactured for commercial use still right?
Its true that OLED is too expensive to be manufactured. LED (i'm saying semicon LED) on the other hand is cheap to produce, but not suitable for use as pixel matrix in small scale display. that's why they are not used as the display panel in TV.

all current LED LCD tv is equipped with the LED at the edge and using mirror to reflect the light to the center.
Not all. Proper real planted LED arrays has been around for some time, and still there now. Those edge lit LED is not using mirrors. They are using diffusion sheet to diffuse the light, hence different unit of same model TV has different uniformity issue randomly on the screen.

if the TV got local dimming with >512 zone RGB LED backlight LCD then only becomes interesting.. if just plain LED backlit LCD.. normal la..
afaik, the only TV every landed in malaysia with 512 zones RGB dynamic brightness LED is the Bravia X450 series. Even samsung was using white LED all the way.

boss..still remember me??i sold you my ASUS 8800GTS to u last time..
anyway...why did you said that??as for my viewing between sharp n samsung,i felt that the samsung does a better job when it come to color vividness..as for sharp,it does have a solid color all n all but not as much as vivid as samsung..dunno either the samsung demo unit already being altered the color setting into such mode like "Dynamic"...
anyway...kudos to sharp for it affordable price in its LED LCD TV range...

When comparing LCD TV, do take note that besides the source and setting, environment is also very important. A very brightly lit environment (which shop front isn't nowaydays anyway) will convince your eyes that a BRIGHT display looks brilliant, while home environment often is only moderately lit, which caused different picture quality (at least that's how ur brain interpret it).
That's why glossy screen like the samsung LED TV series always awe the customer during the first impression at shop front.
