Guyz.. need ur help here.. i'm looking to buy new 42' lcd tv. Can u suggest me the best value for money within budget <RM3.5k.. I'm not skeptical about the brand but really into pq.. all the guru's help me to suggest.. Help me on this Bro! Please provide me the model no too.. Uncounted thanks in advance..

Hmm.. Sony's having a promo right now. Might wanna check your nearest SonyStyle.

Also, Phillips and LG TVs fall within your price range. Doesnt matter abt the models as the only thing you really need to care abt is 1080p FULL HD resolution AND good picture quality. HDMI outputs could be a factor too. At least 2 is needed.

All those 100Hz, 200Hz, 600Hz motion enhancer are not important. Personally, I think it's annoying

why LCD and not plasma?
i mean, besides having the glaring effect from plasma, why not go for plasma?

Plasma before i heart my friend say,use for long year the color will slowly down color.Because plasma inside using some liquid to support color.That i hear from fren.

ok guyz im went some hunting.. there are 3 model that catch my eyes.. toshiba regza 42ZV600E, LG 42LH50YR and SHARP LC42A77M.. Please help me decide in terms of pq and glareness, as i'm intending to put the tv in my living room which has a lot of windows.. really apreciated the help guyz

Sharp.

Go for Sharp u wont regret.

try the new Bravia S550 40' FHD at rm3699, abit off ur budget if u want to go for brands name..

to be frank, the above 3 models doesn't catch my eyes.
you might want to consider Plasma seriously.

i see the sharp contrast is 50000:1 same as toshiba only that toshiba got advantage in anti glare panel +240hz + 14 bit video processing

would you still recommend the sharp?

Question is do u own a sharp lcd tv, secondly u are only comparing the feature but not the actual performance. Lastly u got so many answer for so many suggestion i dont understand what is your purpose of asking.

so do u urself own a sharp lcd tv and if u own 1 what is ur stronget point that say sharp is the best.. that the purpose of foruming, we trade our piece of mind to gain more knowledge and getting the right info.. if just say sharp or sony or lg i think evrybody can give their opinion.. we need ur goodself experience in buying lcd tv.. provide us the facts.. i think that the purpose god give us knowledge to spread it each other and that is my purpose of asking.. to gain more info.. just my 2 cents and if u feel offended by it.. i'm sorry..

between Sharp 42A66 & 42A77 (100 Mhz) which one is good value against performance ?? I remember some
forummer commented that 100Mhz is an overkill.... so it is beter to get the 42A66? what is the current pricing for this
model ? and it is still come with the Purchase with Purchase blu-ray DVD player deal at RM499 exra ?

The pq is execellent when pair with bd disc compare with my the other brand, i still think sharp is better, anyway there is no such best lcd that u can find, the best lcd tv is your own instinct which u think best n dont made yourself confuse by review. Go n test by yourself n if u think the one suite u best, n that is the best. Everything have its pro n cons n if u want both than its hard to find. Just like buying a car merc or bmw best.

for me..the best 42 inch lcd is philips 9664..lg sl80 also quite good

go for sharp u wont regret
i own 46A83M full HD , never regret although i paid alot for it...AQUOS

First time heard that...if so, just grab the remote and increase the color..simple as that

Led come out now but plasma still around wat. Besides what u seeing is still lcd panel not some new led panel technology..

From the 3 choices, I would go for Sharp. Not overly rich colour with very decent black levels.

If it is truly LED TV at that price range, I will surely get 2 units 55" for my pad w/o second thought.

Sharp LCD panel make in Japan......The whole TV assembly in Malaysia (Sungai Petani).

with a similar budget, i have settled for a Sharp Aquos LC-42A77M model.

happy since then ...

so how about samsung 40b530 Full HD or panasonic P42s10k Full Hd??

Overhere in sabah, Panasonic plasma p42s10k still cost a bomb RM3050 while samsung 40b530 cool down a bit to rm2650.

Still reckon Panasonic plasma a better choice but price is a major factor here. Sharp 40A77 cost RM3900 overhere.

If Sony didn't have any offer going on (40S550+DAV-Z590+S360 for RM3850), i will still vote for Plasma.

i'm looking at this two models Philips 42FPL7409 and Sharp LC40LE700M.

does anyone own any one of this two? i'd like to hear some comments.

me too confused on all the models available out there....last weekend narrowly clinch sony V series but what my eyes sees was it jutter whereas the X model with 200hz is smooth as CRT. Saw a lot saying hz not important but than again, those 42 inch without 100hz, i see jutter especially at the end of the movie where the words start coming out..

appreciate enligthtment in somewhere this forum, HZ is not important as to me layman, i tot the more HZ is to smoothen the jitter. am not sure on panny plasma but its one of my targetted lists.

Are you looking for plasma or LCD ?

actually both...whichever suits my budget and eyes. if lcd, need at least 100hz or as long as it does not jutter but lcd with 100hz abv will also cost more....have my target on panny plasma 42(s or x series), lcd wouild be toshidba 600e or sharp(forgot the model).

hi guys,
i'm looking for a LCD tv too
Panasonic THL32C10K and Sharp LC32A37M
which one is better?

Panasonic, the salesman said is a double layer, and when i view the picture, it's quite nice too..

i believe plasma @ lcd hav its own advantage..it depends on ur preferrence.as 4 me,ive owned both plasma & lcd.where as my lcd wil be used 4 gaming session and my plasma 4 watching movies.as plasma wil do greatly 4 movies watching due to its black production,and also good 4 SD gaming console such as PS2 & Wii.while HD gaming console (PS3 & Xbox) wil do good wif lcd.
For me,i wil go for sharp as i dont hav much faith in LG brand from my past xperience with this brand (sory LG owner..juz my 2cent).

read this..

if you only sit in the sweet spot then LCD picture is not bad.. too bad for others sitting 15degrees of axis..

also make sure your LCD has IPS panel,..

I spend quite sometimes reading review and looking for the best LCD/LED/Plasma for my money.
Went to Desa HT at LY this afternoon to search for bargain TV.
After researching quite a lot I have the Samsung 6 and 5 series, Toshiba Regza, the new Sharp Quattron, LG and SonyBravia on the back of my head.

After viewing and great help from one of the salesman (Thilak - Thanks bro), only one set that caught my eye, Philips LCD series 7. I was advised that the model was discontinued with Series 6. My budget was 5k. I was quoted 5300 for the 6 series LED. I was quite happy with it but decided to go and check around. By this time, I have really decided to buy the philips as the colour and the non reflective screen really caught my eyes.

I then went to Harvey Norman Mid Valley to look for the TV and to get the quote. They do not have the model but suggested the 9 series LED (46') which they have quite a big discount. The RRP was 12999 but selling for 8700. Obviously it was well over my budget. They give me a brochure and what caught my eyes was that the 9 series for LCD have the exact same feature with the LED i.e., ambi light, 200Hz, 1ms Response Time, 17bit colour processing, 2,250 trillion colour palette, 4 speakers,etc.. the only different was the contrast ratio, 5m:1 (LED) and 80k:1..

I asked about the model, and he showed me the display, which from my naked eye, look quite stunning. The discounted price was 4999 but he gave me 3999 for it. I did called the Desa guy for the quote but hey do not have the model but the LED one they are selling 9200.

As a conclusion, I am waiting for my new set to arrive tomorrow:)
oh.. BTW, the model was give 5 stars by What Hifi. Hope this help..
So the morale of the story is that you have to go and look for yourself what model suit you better.

how to get this price? p42s10k is Full HD and Full HD plasma now is selling at RM4k and above wor...
