after struggling in determine which best 32" Full HD LCD to buy, finally decided to buy the SHARP AQUOS LCD TV where the owner claimed that the panel is manufactured in Japan.

In fact after evaluating all the LCD and noticed that for 32" range of LCDs finally the best picture quality still only Samsung and Sharp which only both brands offering full HD 1080p.

Honestly Samsung still displaying the best picture quality, however choosing Sharp because have more confidence in Japan products than Korean products. Not sure your guys agreeing with me.

Also like you, these 2 brands give me the headache

samsung always good in making lcd. but depends on the spec also.

how much you buy it & where?

why not sony bravia? it beats the rest...

Got it for RM2,200 at LH Electrical, Kajang. Also take up the insurance coverage for another 3 years that worth RM300, hence all together for RM2,500 for 5 years coverage.

Don't think so it is the best deal however too desperate for viewing pleasure

Why not getting 32" Full HD Plasma ? Plasma always better to watch Astro

is that 32 plasma available...??
i think plasma display only start at 42 inch - above...

since when got 32"plasma tv full hd ?

If there is 32" FullHD Plasma, then the selling price must be higher than 42" FullHD Plasma. Cost for manufacture 32" FullHD Plasma is simply not economical.

For 32" LCD TV, not only Samsung and Sharp got offer 1080P, but Philips (model 5609) , Panasonic (S10K) , Toshiba and LG also do offer FullHD TV.

No doubt, Picture Quality (PQ) is up to individual taste, but you also need to consider the TV viewing angle provided. Try to take Samsung Series 5 (550B) and try to view from 2 different angle and you will notice the color will degrade. So it is up to your eye to do the judgement

The next thing to consider is the TV source - How many HDMI, component or composite port provided. Take Panasonic (Model C8 - if not mistaken) , the number of port it provide is just barely enough for normal user and not to mention PQ is the lowest among other Panasonic LCD Class. All this come in less than RM1300

hope this helps
