U r rite..get the floor standing speaker..Mission should be OK...KEF will be better...but the most important thing make sure that your receiver rated power output can support it..why not try Denon for receiver...let your ears guide your judgement...and final note...make sure all of the 7 speaker made by the same manufacturer, easier to be positioned n tuned...

DA1200ES is a really good receiver. Magazines seem to like it. Yamahas VX2600 is not bad for your range.

that sony is a good receiver, but it only support 7 channel (6.1) and only upconvert analog input to component output , compared with few new receiver from denon and onkyo, that support 8 channel(7.1) with upconverting all input through hdmi...

Thanks

Not sure if this is anyone's cup of tea, but finally i have access to those HD videos the stores like Best Denki and SonyStyle are using to promote their HDTVs. They are stored in makeshift HDDs that are sent over with their display units, and used to run in loops to showcase the HDTV clarity of their TVs. They are 1080i in nature, and i have the opportunity to copy/download these test/reference HD files off the HDDs from both Mediaplex and SonyStyle tomorrow. I already have Sony Europe Bravia X Full HD "Explosion of Color" HDTV shocase video files in 720p, and they look phenomenal running off my laptops connected to my Bravia. I can only drool at the anticipation of how it would look on my own unit once i get it home to my portable drive tomorrow.

Hi all ! I'm new here. Hope u guys give ur precious opinions !
Just want to compare 3 model below. This is the 3 Final candidates from wat I've research for 2 weeks.

1) Sharp Aquos LC37BX5M or LC37BX6M (side speaker)
2) LG LG-42LC2R
3) Samsung LA40R71B

Sharp is the world renown lcd maker. So i didnt doubt the quality. But the problem is the 37inch screen. Is the screen size too small for my living room. My distance from my sofa from the tv is 13feet. So is it 2 small for it ? Currently using a 29inch CRT mon. bysquashy from LYN is selling RM6899 for the 37BX6M and i saw in the paper HengLee electronics is selling 37BX5M for RM5899.

LG is the cheapest (RM) among all. But i dunno the quality for the lcd. My brother saw it at HSL and he claim is not bad.

Samsung is good in the design but heard some rumours that is not stable or such. Then the dynamic contrast is 5000, but actually the real contrast level is about 1200. The price is quite high also !

My family and I watch Astro almost everyday. So do i need 2 buy a video scaler such as DVDO or Cypress video scaler to upscale the Astro ? Cause from wat i heard is not nice 2 watch if using analog composite output.

TQ and ur R welcome 2 put down any suggestion and ur precious xp with ur HDTV !!!!

Hi yeewensmc,
Will check the price with the dealer about HengLee's low price, will update my price accordingly as I haven't sold any of them yet, so the price was based on the price when I started this thread, thanks

As to which HDTV is very subjective and personal. Ultimately, what is pleasing to your eyes may not be for another. Stand or sit at a distance you would normally watch and let your eyes do the judgement. I personally did not go for any of the above but went with a Philips 42"

Bought my first hdmi full 1080p tv display (4th 1080p capable monitor) sony 46v2500 series for rm 6650 to be delivered in 11 days...in the land of the rising sun, that is...

ROFL! U should know he got another two 30" Dell lcd combined with the other three 24" Dell for a total res of...... gasp, i lost count.

Dun tempt us le. Most of us have to break a piggy bank to own a HDTV over here

Anyway, y not a plasma since LCD have so many quality drawbacks, low maintenance though.

if he would get a 1080p plasma he'd be spending twice the amount of money (PRO FHD-1)

2x 24incher and 3x 17 incher 3840x2224 res..beat westinghouse's quad 1080p by 64 lines... credit where credits due... 30 inchers none yet


For me plasma refresh like a 60/65Hz crt ... 50/52 inchers are just 1/2 of 1080p pixels for similiar price of the 46v. The rare 1080p plasmas are 2x price... all could not stand the refresh.. not to mention, plasma are power hogs.

coming 120Hz LCD even better... but 60Hz does fine by me...

just want to ask.anybody here use wall mount for their LCD TV?

can share with me the cost and where to get.

thanks.

Oh yeah... i got mixed up.

iAFAIK, any lcd can be mounted to the wall

Most bracket goes from RM200-RM400 and the installation cost will be RM150-RM300 depending on model.

Brackets are usually extras but the Philips comes with the brackets should you wish to hang on the wall. Make sure the wall is solid and not some flaky plaster as the LCD might just drop...
