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?

hmm, anybody know another 40 inch 1080p model?

thanks

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

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

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

The Samsung 1080p LCD (Mosel series 'F') will be here anytime soon. I am still waiting for the confirmation to do a bulk

quick question, anybody know if it matters if you are using a cheaplak hdmi cable or a 300ringgit hdmi cable? hehe

thanks

U can get QED cables locally.

Wah. ..i tot the Sharp price was RM19,599.

Which shop u got that reasonable price? Care to share?

Cool
One quick question Silencer,What if the Sharp and Sony Bravia X were in same price, what will you choose and why?
Just want to know ur opinion.

If the QED's are too expensive, try the Profigold's. RM150+/- for normal interconnects, i got mine overseas though.

Any news about the new Samsung F7 series? The prices? And how does it compare with other brands (eg: Bravia X, Aquos)?

I've just auditioned the new 47" Toshiba Regza 1080p. The size is awesome, same goes for the quality. I mean 1080 would be a waste on smaller TV's.

Feeling curious, i asked the saleperson, "Wat are u running under that, man." He told me HARDDISK, i LOL'ed hard, the local scenes are sure catching up.

The best is yet to come, the price is only RM14999, and that's a price from one of the higher price store chain. I bet u can find it at basement price of RM13999 somewhere.

hmm i don't know where else to post this, but do you guys know  good place to get hd-dvds /blu-ray discs?

I usually get em for amazon but shipping sometimes gets a bit pricey for priority shipping.. I do not use other shipping methods because i've had a few items lost before (stupid malaysian post)

so any ideas?

regards

malaysia market aint ready for HD yet...no point pouring cash too early..unless u r living in a mansion..

i actually got the sony upscaling player.. but after watching iceage meltdown on Bluray, even my wife who has no interest in this gadget stuff, cannot believe her eyes.. My problem is the current format wars, as far as I am concerned there are many movies that I like on both formats and I heard Lotr will be out on HD-DVD whilst Star wars on bluray maybe at least Matrix is going to be easy because of warner's new format

1080 physical lines mean that is a FULL HD PANEL. The display mode is supports is another story. Can u display 1080i with just 999 lines? U cant. Get the point?

Both 1080i/p are formats, it's nothing related to the panel. A 1366/768 panel can take 1080i input also , but that doesnt make it a FULL HD PANEL because physically it only can display 768.

To make my point more valid, read up on interlacing. LCD/PLASMA can not, i repeat, cannot display interlaced video, it has to be de-interlaced first. With the correct de-interlacing method, aka WEAVE, 1080i will become 1080p regardless.

If u try to even follow the HD arena, u will know that TOSHIBA is in the HD-DVD camp. The pioneering players of HD-DVD can only send out 1080i (which doesnt even matter after it's de-interlaced). So it's a matter to matching specs to their advantage.

Get Blu-Ray for now, if u wan 1080p.

i was browsing engadget juz now, and saw their CES coverage. Samsung LCD/Plasma/DLP, etc lineup is the awesomeness!! And the price is very reasonable (if you direct convertlar)

Lowyat.net needs to seriously create a new section of a forum for these audio/videophiles so that they can leave the console section alone. We can even move this thread to that section too, and let them run amok in that rather than messing things here.

Sejak bila laks nama aku jadik "spring" wei?

Normal HDDVD is RM139 while Combo DVD/HDDVD is RM179. No news on a locally available Bluray. Local adoption of new technology is painfully slow as Malaysians show their true "Boleh" spirit by waiting and see which format get cracked first.

You can do a direct comparison of the price with Amazon by visiting their site.

Toing toing!
