Hey guys, it's actually my first time posting here, but I've been lurking for a while, hehe.
Anyway, I'm getting a LCD tv soon, so I've been checking around and have narrowed down my choices to 3 brands/models.
1) Samsung
LA40N71B2) Sony - Bravia
KLV40V200A3) Sharp - Aquos
LC37BX5MMy questions:
1) Which one of these models do you recommend? To me, Samsung has the best looks but from what I read from this thread, it seems that the Aquos it the better choice. Keep in mind that for now I would be mainly using the tv to watch Astro and play my Ps2. No Ps3 yet, but I should be getting it sometime next year.
2) Does the Sharp support 720p and 1080i? I'm pretty sure that both the Samsung and Sony does, but I can't find any info on the Sharp(I even have the brochure with me but it doesn't say anything about it, just the resolution - 1,366 x 769 x 3 dots(?)
3) How bad does Astro perform with these tv's? I really don't want to resort to watching football at the mamaks if the quality is too bad...
Thanks in advance

First of all, Hope you have a pleasant stay here in Lowyat and please make sure to stay out of trouble.
1. The Samsung N-Series is part of the mosel series. They are the flagship of Samsung's LCD TVs and offer a better picture then their R and S-Series. It offers 2 HDMI inputs like the Sharp. It has multiple card slots to view all your pictures and vids. Printer input and USB inputs are a nice touch. Picture quality is comparable to the other two. But it's features make it a better buy. It also has looks to match. Samsung's LCD TVs look great anywhere in your home.
2. Yes. It does.
3. They all look more or less the same. The quality is watchable, it doesn't go to the extend where you want to kill yourself, no. It's pretty decent actually.
All in all i think you should go to a shop to compare these three.
I'd take the samsung since it's fine with gaming, the price is right, and there are many features. This TV is for the casual gamer who sits back, relax, and appreciates what he sees in the telly. Go for it.
