I saw Philips 42" LCD tv with full HD 1080p at Queensbay Jusco selling at RM6999. Is this for real???

I thought full HD 1080p LCDs would go over RM10k right? Philips is really making a surprise here.

Yup, you saw that right. The prices for 1080p panels are coming down now

yes, its real, the current promo even has a 5% of the 6999 price
even sony 1080p panel has a retail price of 9999 now, instead of the 14999

I just went to Carrefour yesterday,and found a Philips LCD TV Model 32TA2800,1366X768p,Ratio is 1000:1.
2 DVI input.
Just have some questions in mind,Is DVI input same with HDMI input?
How about the quality?Which one is better?
Philips 32TA2800 costs RM2688,is it Okay/
Can Xbox360 display through HDMI cable?Coz mine one is not Xbox 360 Elite,it's old Xbox 360 Pro system.
So,do u guys recommend me to buy this model of Philips HD LCDTV?
Thx for ur comments.

dvi and hdmi different, one has only video(dvi) and the other has both video and audio

for 2688, u sure have other choices rite?

maybe the impact of the OLED TV introduction had bring down the LCD TV pricing.. .. it may go further down when OLED is in mass production.

emm,actually,as for the questions about HDTV,
i'm really a newbies.
If my budgets are around RM2-3K,
do u have any recommended for me,brother?
Coz the Philips TV that i saw yesterday is quite nice.
The picture is clear,and...quite satisfied.
But there arent any HDMI input for that model,
only DVI input...sigh...

^ a DVI input for a HDTV works just as well as a HDMI input. just need to buy those HDMI/DVI cables.

steve, wat are u using it for?
a tad more will bring uto other choices, the sony S310 is good as well, cash price shud be abt 2800

Using the same panels as Westinghouse in the US most likely.. A step in the affordable direction... but still far from the US prices..

I'm planning to use it for my 360 and PS3 in future.
But actually i think i know nothing about HDTV.
At least,i aim for the HDTV that i can afford for its price,
and the quality is satisfying.
Sony S310...how do u think about that,brother?
I mean...its quality of picture,and...are there any HDMI input in that model?
Coz Philips 32TA2800 doesnt got any HDMI input,only DVI....
and by the way,i really appreciate for ur replies,bro.


p.s:How do u think about this Bravia model,bro rx330?

S310 has 2 hdmis , same as V300A

but iirc, v300a woudl be out of 3k range

but i think S310 only selling in HK on the time being is it,brother?
Can i get it in Malaysia?With the price of RM2800?

It's available here for RM2999 la.

Really?Thx buddy,i'll go and have a look later.
Most probably i can't find it in any Sony Centre is it?
Coz i went to browse for it in sony.com.my,
but there arent any related results for S310.

You're right, it's not in the website but i do saw the unit available at Sonystyle store though.

Hi guys, I was at Best denki and I saw a Panasonic TH42PX70. 42' 1080p for RM5200. Now I need to ask the opnioin of people who own a big tv but have small rooms. My living room is only around 5- 7 feet. I am not that sure. So will the tv be too big since the space is too small. Or should I stick with a 32' instead. Thanks.

P:s that panasonic is really 1080p or just a chipset that can go to 1080p?

Panasonic TH42PX70 is a plasma tv right? how come it can support 1080p.

hmm.. 42" 1080p tv for RM 5200? that's really cheap wei... make sure it can display full 1080p on the monitor, not just accept 1080p signal but display at 720p.

Im not sure. Hoping you guys can shed some light on the subject. So it a 42' tv too big for a small living room?
