Hello..The world cup competition just around the corner..so my father plan to buy lcd tv to replace my old crt tv 29inch..so he gave me the responsibility to search for the model that might suit his budget..so in the beginning the problem seems to be settle because I have agree to the shop owner to purchase panasonic model TH-L42U29k..but I promise will pay deposit later means today to the shop owner to confirm the order..the problem start when my father come to pay deposit and interested to upgrade to 46inch lcd..so the seller recommend the samsung SERIES5 46inch lcd..the price offered to my father is rm4550 cut off from rm4999 retail price..my father agree with the price but not with the brand.he is only believe in sony and panasonic..so please help forumer here recommend the model especially panasonic that have spec like below

i) full hd
ii) the seller said the tv can be mounted to the wall by using bracket..so lcd and plasma both oso can mounted or only lcd can??
iii) the budget hopefully not exceed 5000..entry model oso can as long is it is full HD..no need higher spec(higher spec need more money)..


So hopefully sifu here can help me give model number cos I will contact seller a.s.a.p to get and nego the price..I have surf panasonic and sony website..but there is very limited number of 46 inch lcd and plasma that have full hd and especially suit my budget..I think if this problem cannot be resolved it means my destiny is with panny TH-L42U29K model

There's a 50" FHD Panasonic Plasma can't remember the model number but i think it's an X series retailing @RM4699

X series model is not Full HD.

That is correct..X series is only HD ready..I think I found one model only which is sony KLV-46EX400..the retail price is rm5499..dunno what is the best price I can get..I will update the price after call the salesman

saw at garage sale under Home electronics and Homeware...

bro why not try sharp???it is more cheaper than sony plus right now sony is using sharp panel....

I already recommend lcd brand other than panny and sony, but my father only believe in this two brand..so nothing more I can do here..I have ask several shop regarding the model sony KLV-46EX400..and the best price I get is rm 4950..I don't think the sharp panel is a turndown factor because I will mounted the lcd to the wall..so about the sony lcd,is the quality picture is good or at least comparable to samsung or panasonic??

Sony is good also, just you don't get best value for your money. Since your dad only prefer those 2 brand, if you can't get panny go for sony.
If you want plasma, go for 50" lor. Panny TH-P50U20K is a good choice for that price range

thank you very much for your feedback..but if I choose plasma can I mounted the tv on the wall..because I see the plasma panel seems cannot be removed??????
