^ nice info of the website

I have finally bought a Sony KV34DBM61. Went to HSL Subang Parade but they didnt have the Phillips PP2 29/34PT9421. Instead they only had 1 display model of the 34PT9420 for sale which was going for 4.3K. I wasn't impressed at all as it was a PP and not PP2. I finally saw the 34DB on display. It was good enough for me. Listed for RM2999 but got it for RM2909 and paid by card too. However need to wait till next week to take delivery. Will need to clear my old tv space for it now.

Btw need to ask where to get component cables and s-video cables and how much does these normally cost?

Thanks for all the help.

Thanks! That guy got a DLP 61" tv and a whopping 101" projector tv. Somemore outside the house got Porsche. Dunno work what. Wish i could be like him.

This is probably another good guide on all TV available on the market.

Congratulations! btw, i bought my component cables for around RM60(MaxCable) at CarreFour i think. I've done some survey and it's around that price, maybe cheaper at electronic shops.

You can find it at Best Denki, CarreFour etc. Seriously, no need to go for the most expensive ones. There isn't going to be any difference unless you're laying the cables for a few kms. I would have bought cheaper ones if i can find it!

What 5.1 HT system are you using? Currently looking for a HT system to match my new TV.

Thanks. I already bought them for about rm25 at a local electrical hardware shop. However they are made in China. Not sure about the quality as I have yet to get my TV.

i'm using panasonic sa-he75 HT. the sound quality is very nice

I'm using Pioneer HTZ323.

Good sounds, good sounds.

but this model don't have optical or coax input rite?

My set has ONE optical input, but no coax (which is fine, anyway).

The only time I used the optical was for my old Xbox. Now waiting for something else to be plugged in there...

good choice that it have optical input
i always avoided amp cum dvd player coz it don't have optical or coax input. hopefully more company will make amp cum dvd player with optical and coax input.

ps2 also can use optical input rite? other than that have to wait for next gen console or hd-dvd/blu-ray player. or a good sound card with optical out.

Yup. PS2 definitely supports optical in, although there are more Xbox games with Dolby Digital 5.1 then the PS2, which has more Dolby Pro-Logic games. So pairing an optical input with my PS2 ended being kinda underwhelming.

Question for HDTV sifus...

Is this a HDTV? http://www.sony.com.my/sonystyle/product/p...ubcategoryid=34

or

only Bravia sets are HDTVs?

yes, thats a HDTV, the same model Jonlam bought.

Um.. but from my understanding on the 1st post by Stringfellow, would this TV be compatible with PS3? I don't know how to see if there's HDMI and DVI input for this...

I dont think that TV supports HDMI, however I think the PS3 will support several other outputs besides HDMI. Naturally HDMI would be the best option,however Component isnt that bad either.Either wait for a official press statement from Sony and see what they say regarding the PS3, then decide if its worth buying the TV.

I have finally got the Sony KV34DBM61 yesterday night. I must say that viewing a 34" TV is really nice compared to my old 21".
DVD playback using non-progressive scan DVD player but with component cables is clear & crisp. However, Astro is not too good but I guess this is due to the poor Astro broadcast signals. The sound is rather weak and only acceptable when the simulated surround option is chosen. I really need a home theater system to support this TV.

Btw may I have some of the picture settings ie brightness, sharpness etc from forumers who have these Sony DBxxM61 models.

Thanks

You may want to use an s-video connection for your Astro. It DOES make a difference.

it's nice isn't it?
if you got modded xbox and play some video in 720p, it looks much nicer

i'll check my tv this evening and tell you what is my setting.

I am using s-video for the the Astro and components for the DVD. Astro images are pixelated. I need to customised and reduce the sharpness setting of the TV to reduce the pixelation. Its not the TV fault as I have seen similar images on Plasma and LCD TVs. It just that Astro compression method and broadcast signals are bad.
