I bought a Philips 42' Full HD LCD TV PFL 3609s in August 2009 in PJ for RM 3040. Its current selling price is RM 2500. Can someone tell me what is the best 42 inch Full HD LCD TV currently on the market in terms of the following aspects:

1) price
2) visual clarity
3) audio clarity
4) contrast ratio
5) overall specs
6) Brand

Thanks

for me
i'm using panasonic plasma
better than lcd
price? rm25xx at harvey norman ikano d'sara
the new 'x' series

Can you provide details about the exact model and size? But lets stick to LCD's for now.

if ur model is X28k , then that price is quite expensive

Im using Toshiba 42' ZV600E..
audio n visual has been fantastic to me..

Am using AQUOS 42A77M, good quality, just that I think its response to channel changing is a bit slow, but in terms of PQ when watching BD, it's great. Audio-wise, i don't ask for much as it is just a TV.

not many 42" nowadays

So how about this 40" one... Sony KDL-40NX700

perhaps you might want to start with a budget

NX700 is LED lcd tv bro..

LCD normally are 40'' or 46''..Sony 40NX500,40EX500,40BX400..Samsung LA40A550,LA40A650..

Well the budget is as mentioned earlier. 2500 - 3000+

yea that a good LCD TV and i agree with you, channel changing is a bit slow and sound is not that good maybe it just a tv.

Added on May 31, 2010, 5:24 pmWell, i don't know you try to spam this thread or what,
perhaps i am wrong.

At your very first thread, you say you bought a 3609s from RM2100 ( last year december i think. )

later on, at the 2nd thread, you say can get it for RM1700 ( for now )

Now, in this thread, you mention that the selling price is RM2500 ( so i assume you are very good relationship with the shop so they can discount up to RM800 to make it as RM1700 for the 3609s model for you. [it just 25%~30% discount not much ] )

SO i am wondering, what is the message you want to bring it out?

Check my earlier response. I made an error. I got confused between the electrical products i purchased. Now i rechecked the original invoice with the shop. The Philips TV i bought was for RM3040. Its current selling price is RM2500. That's final. Sorry for the confusion.

really I must have missed that - As far as I can see you only mentioned the price of your current TV.

anyway, of course the price of your TV is now 2.5k there is a newer model out and the shop is trying to move the old stock.

for the same price in a new TV, what sort of improvements are you expecting?

To cybermaster,

Are you trying to sell off your TV? I suggest you just stick with it until its broken and buy a new one. Newer and better TV for LCD will only continue to improve as they still cant beat Plasma performance. The next biggest thing I'm waiting for is LED local dimming LCD, which still cost an arm and a leg.

Plasma already had the Pioneed Kuro which unfortunately is now discontinued.

Go for Kuro

?? so exactly 3 hours later you post a recommendation that someone specifically mentioned was discontinued.... what gives?

No im happy with my TV. Not intending to replace it. Im looking to buy another TV in addition to my current one.

I'm also using the same model, worth every penny
