I'm using an old Sharp 37" LCD (the model with speakers at the side) and thinking of upgrading to a full HD 40 or 42" LCD...
Very satisfied with the sound produce from my Sharp and I have no need to add any external speakers.
I wonder if the Sony has adequate speakers which can match my Sharp? Really interested with this package with the bluray player included :-)
Any ideas?

Once you have a proper HT, you'll realized how all LCD speakers sucks...

My advice:going from 37->40, no difference. Go bigger...50". and save some money on a dedicated HT, or at least HTIB.

Since we're getting to speakers,do u have any good HT to recommend?My budget is RM600 or less,cheaper the better,but I can't probably get a very good one with this budget right?

And what's HTIB?Sorry I'm new to this stuff

HTIB=HanTu In a Box....oopss...I meant Home Theather In a Box.
Something like this...it's a DVD player, AVR, speakers, sub, all in one.

Budget RM600...cannot get HT...even the cheapest AVR cost RM1K+, not including speakers and subs. Even HTIB a bit susah. I would recommend u to budget RM1K for a HTIB. And make sure it has at least one optical/coaxial input for your media players to decode Dolby Digital/DTS.

Oh,that's HTIB,I have always seen it,but didn't know that it's called HTIB

But I saw the cheapest HTIB is RM600++ by Philips,is that good?

And the link that u gave,that's exactly what I need,a new DVD player that can upscale to 1080p and 5.1 speakers But I heard Panasonic sound isn't very good?

you can buy RM600++...but you better check out the sound quality and features...some don't even have optical/coaxial input...very important, coz u'll need this for ur media player or BD player to input the sound. Otherwise no surround sound for you, the only surround sound will be using the built in DVD player...and we don't want DVD anymore...Forget about upscaling. It's rubbish. Just buy WDTV Live and watch high quality 1080p HD files.

Then how much is a WDTV Live now?And if I buy that and the HTIB,then what do I do with the DVD player from that Panasonic HTIB?

WDTV Live=RM 299. DVD player use for decoration. Got nice blinking lights. Connect optical out from WDTV Live to your HTIB optical in. Now you get Dolby Digital/DTS 5.1 sound.

I see,so I buy a HTIB system like that Panasonic link you gave,and the WDTV Live,then that's a pretty good setup already?

Yes, just like my setup in my bedroom. I got a Samsung HTIB. DVD player used for decoration as well.
Now all you need is to download those movies...

I see,but total will be quite expensive too Maybe I can get the WDTV first to watch HD movies first?

Yep, wise choice, if budget concerns. Get the WDTV Live first, then upgrade sound later. Once you watched HD, you never wanna see SD stuff.

Yea,like now I watch normal Astro,the quality isn't very good but I'm getting used to it,now I know why when you go to those electrical shops,they never show normal Astro or TV channels,cos it really sux They only always show Blu-Ray movies or HD stuff

Or upgrade sound first?Both also I want la

Back to the thread guys. So is RM2399 foc Sony bluray player and cashback RM200 sound reasonable? Or with this budget could get a better option? First time TV buyer need help please

See kevinc66 reply at post #100. He's offering at RM2250

Not too sure but maybe what he meant was RM2250 after cash back?

where u get RM 2,399, normal promotion RM 2,499 (before cash back RM 200)....... it's worth buy becoz get free blueray.... sony blue-ray will cost u RM1,000.... the cheapest blueray player i saw is philips around 450....

Just bought it.. testing using Old skool laptop watching movie.. nice LCD.. got cash back somemore....

how about astro, is it good?
