hey all i hav a question, i currently am using a 29 inch standard TV.. and was just wondering considering a 40 inch lcd is well... wide screen.. in general is it much "smaller" than my 29 inch tv? for example, my 20.1 inch lcd is about the same height as my 17 inch monitor..

I am actually asking because, size is a matter in terms of enjoyment and available shelf space.

Thanks..

i actually tried using pythogras to count it but not sure if it is accurate

In term of tv/monitor screen size, you should measure it diagonally. Then you'll get the idea.

Here u go.

thanks for the input fellas.. the website is great hehe but i measured it and yeah in terms of height it will be around my current 29 inch tv.. so thats pretty ok hehe

anybody know the price for LA40F71B Samsung?

Asked about it from one of samsung dealer..but that guy told me it hasnt be arrived in msia yet..eventhough the model is advertised in the brochure n website

Saw the Sharp Aquos 46" 1080p model at Harvey Norman selling for RM19,599. The same model is selling at $2,999 in US.

hmm, anybody know another 40 inch 1080p model?

thanks

well that's not slightly true... coz I have cousin work at astro, and he said that RTM has the latest hardware than what astro has...but because old the management of RTM full of oldies, they avoid using them instead using the old one... so rugilah....

the oldies sound exactly like the place where i work...


Me : " Sir, i think we should upgrade our software etc etc to future proof the system "

Boss : " it works now, so don't touch it " ( we will wait until everything breaks down then start thinking about replacements"

We r in the same boat dudes...looking to buy the same spec lcd tv on january...now, considering either 42" sharp or 40" samsung.... one of the seller here told me that the sharp 42" will be around RM12,999...dunno about samsung....im avoiding sony as its price is so darn expensive ....

Wont surprise me at all redbull....even the new model sony bravia X 40" 250 seriess is about RM8k in Japan compared with the old model bravia x 40" 200 series which will cost u about RM16,000????? I guess..sony item is overprised here in malaysia...

Someone would prolly say, "Nonsense, Sony has great value. Great bragging values." LOL. Anyway, happy new year.

P/S: I would expect someone to barge in about now.

i just saw at best that they have this 46incher toshiba full hd lcd going for a price cheaper than sony,

I wonder hows its quality?

Model number? Link and pics would be super.

Having too much fun to "barge in" into anything, much less argue over the internets. Where's that JPEG about arguing over the nets when you need one?

Actually the Toshiba is 47" and IIRC its about 14K++

Saw it at 1U and it looks fantastic. Full HD too.

At that price...with that size...its kinda attractive...but i belive its specification is far behind than the new released lcd tv....

Actually just want to ask, I'm a xbox 360 and PS3 owner and it is because of these machines that I am looking into a HDTV..

Just want to ask though how important is 1080p if i am only getting something in the 40 - 42 inch range?

and I usually play games at a distance of 6ft+ from the TV? I've heard that ppl say if you screen size isn't too big you have to be really close to see the difference etween 720p and 1080p, is that true?

thanks for any advice..

It's a future-proof dude. And btw, even on Dell 24 inch some people can see the different. Thats how important the 1080p is.
