after 1 week of researches and eyes washing........ comes out with these models which meet my requirements and this is final round of advise needed.....

1) Sharp LC-42A77M
2) Toshiba 42ZV600
3) LG 42LH70YR

please leave your votes guys........ all of these Full HD LCDs is ranged in RM3399 - RM3699. Please help me decide/ give your valuable comments. TQ!

Sharp is never in my list because everytime when I look at it, I feel it has very dull PQ compared to other model, went to few shops also the same.

Toshiba has very good PQ but if you are very particular about the panel reflection just like those in Plasma TV, then this could be out of the list because it is using glare panel but the advantage of this is it could boast very good brightness and contrast level to make the PQ very nice and eye catching

LG's PQ not bad when looking at it in the shop but not sure about its reliability, maybe just my perception on the brand


You may want to compare the features offered in these 3 models

Thanks valtai30 for opening this thread.

I am in the same situation with you now. And i also m looking at this 3 models haha because its cheap and function is top.

For me, from the 3 models, maybe i'll go for SHARP because i m a fan of this brand. Well i also not sure which 1 looks better in terms of the outlook and also the images.

Tell me which 1 u bought, i might buy the same 1.

Then, it'll be great if can get 0% installment by creditcard with 0% surcharge.


Update here ya?

haha...... really scatching my hair for almost a month...... now i'm decided to get the Toshiba-42ZV600...... actually already ordered the LCD..... reaching my house around Wednesday.... and now building my HTPC.....

flora02, i think you better get Toshiba. coz after reading and searching reviews....... finally decided to get the 42ZV600...... maybe u can go wash ur eyes at any electronic shops and compare which one to choose, like me..... went to SenQ and HSL just now, but ofcourse not buying from them lar....... quite expensive at chainstore...... maybe u can get nice price from online dealer here.... kevin maybe......

glad to hear you finally ordered the Toshiba. I'm still waiting until end of this month/beginning next month to buy it also. ( Toshiba 42ZV600E of course )
Just survey for the price last week, price is RM3500 cheapest paying cash or RM3700 12/months installment. Or even 24 months, but RM3900++....

yeah~ nice choice bro...... i'm now looking forward for its delivery this "The Day after Tomorrow"!! Hahahaha!! Definitely gonna try The Day After Tomorrow BD this Wednesday!!!!1 Good luck bro!! Peace!!

samsung la..better

sorry for hurting you bro...... sammy never being in my list...... rather get Sony than Sammy..... i oso dunno why, maybe it's PQ too..... not realistic gua??? just like the PQ lor...... just my own opinion, dunno listen to my non-sense, ok?

why pay more for comparable quality

Tested my 42ZV600 yesterday....... superb PQ (except Astro) and normal AQ..... but overall i can say it's up to my expectation!! Tested with BD playback, gaming (Dirt 2)..... it's awesome, that's why they call it a flagship model of Toshiba...... really not bad..... and i'm damn happy with it......

i get it for RM3,699......

Is the PQ okay both in a dark and a bright room?

The PQ is good both in a dark and in bright room environment as Toshiba uses full glare panel to boasts good contrast level in bright room. Of course panel reflection is unavoidable with full glare type and I find it I'm quite ok with it because I'm a bit concern before I buy this tv

I'm not sure if the follwing model is the same with the 42ZV600E:

Toshiba 42ZV650U Review by CNET

The review said that it's black level is poor.

This is the same model for US with slightly higher spec compared to ours. For me the black level is good on this model but not as great like Pioneer Kuro, personally I'm happy with it unlike my previous LCD where the black is really greyish. You can read the Toshiba thread in AVS Forum below to see how they commented the CNET review compared to what they have seen the black level in this set themselves

Owners' feedback will be more relevant to the normal users like us as they commented based on their own experience with the tv

Yes, sometimes, the owners' feedback is more relevant because the review sites can be very fussy, since they have played with plenty of high-end and expensive stuffs. As for me, a 10-20% improvement just can't justify a 50-100% price premium, in the case of LED-LCDs. It's just that I have to be sure that certain well-known LCD annoyances such as very poor blackness and very poor handling of motion blur is not existent in the TV that I am going to buy.

The best is still see it with your own eyes beside reading the reviews and feedbacks
