Agreed.

Demand picks up for HDTV

PETALING JAYA: The introduction of high-definition TV (HDTV) and lower prices of flat-panel sets have resulted in a boom in business for such electrical appliances.

Several electrical shop owners here said they were enjoying brisk sales with more customers wanting to experience “the thrill of HD transmission.”

Checks at several stores yesterday showed many customers enquiring about flat panel TVs, with several making purchases.

With the football World Cup starting in June, many manufacturers are also cashing in by introducing the latest HD TVs, such as LED TVs, in addition to the LCD units. 3D-ready units will also be available in the local market later this year.

MG Electrical Sdn Bhd supervisor Chua Eng Ka said since the launch of Astro B.yond last December, there had been a 20% to 30% increase in sales of LCD TVs in the store’s 10 Klang Valley outlets.

“This shows that the HD TV trend is fast catching on with customers. The previous slump in sales is over,” he added.

He said a 42-inch LCD TV was now priced at between RM3,000 and RM4,000, compared to over RM10,000 several years ago.

“The price also depends on the brand,” said Chua, whose shop is in Taipan, USJ.

He said people were drawn to HD TV because of its vibrant colours, cinematic surround sound and wider screen.

Philips Malaysia Sdn Bhd senior customer marketing manager Teoh Tze Ping said:

“There is surely a double-digit growth in terms of the sales figure of LCD TVs. The launch of Astro B.yond has certainly been a plus point.”

He said the lowest priced LCD was RM1,699 for a 32-inch unit, with the price going up to RM19,999 for a 56-inch set.

“Most customers are prepared to pay these sums to enjoy crystal clear pictures,” he added.

Bank manager Theresa Koh, 28 who was shopping at the Harvey Norman store at Ikano Power Centre here, grabbed a 42-inch LCD TV.

“I also want to watch the World Cup 2010 as if I was in South Africa,” she quipped.

An Astro All Asia Networks official confirmed that many enquiries were being made about Astro B.yond, with more turning in their old decoders for the new HD unit.

“More channels will be offered in HD in the future,” she added. Presently, Astro is broadcasting five channels in HD.

Telekom Malaysia’s IPTV platform, HyppTV, is adding three BBC Worldwide channels to its slate.

BBC Lifestyle, BBC Knowledge and CBeebies will be free to all HyppTV users from launch on March 29 until September.


Mark Whitehead, BBC Worldwide Channels Asia’s general manager said: “Malaysia is an important market for BBC Worldwide and our partnership with TM builds on our commitment to bring great quality programming to more viewers in Asia.”


Currently, only BBC World News is already available in Malaysia, on the network of dominant pay-TV operator Astro All Asia Networks.


HyppTV relaunched a year ago, in March 2009.

that Star article, so called bank manager oni buy 42". Sounds more like supervisor la. Bank manager so charm 1 ar? Sumore say the 42" like watching live match in S.Africa. Kakaka. Mebe sit 3 feet away then ya la.

Do it like India pay less then RM50 you have 100 over channels to play with not stuck up with limited crap for allmost RM150! If TMIPTV above RM100 then surely die even in GDP area !

Now, if IPTV bids for and wins EPL contract, only those in "high GDP contribution" areas can watch and the rest of us can go on Soccernet GameCast. Is this the "competition" everyone was asking for?

Actually, Astro Ceria is the highest rated kids channel in Malaysia. Meaning a lot of Malaysian kids actually watch it. So I don't think they'll cancel Ceria.

What Astro can do, with any one of its channel that is on down time a lot, say ESPN HD, is to run calibration programs so that people can properly calibrated their TVs.


fuad

They lost already until 2013. They have 3 years to expand coverage or else

Don't cancel Ceria! I like to wtch Hagemaru and Doraemon Movies there!
