I've asked the shop keeper before i bought my 42ZV600E , he said that the sharp led tv the display panel is actually build in Malaysia, that's why the price is abit cheaper then other led TV, I didn't do a research on it yet, but giving the price they place, I might believe him. As for the Toshiba, everything is made in Japan, so its got better quality, for me if you wanna buy a led TV, buy a good one, like samsung don't go for cheap model, rather then a cheap one get a good LCD tv, like the Toshiba.

get the toshiba. got Resolution+, a good feature for Astro SD chanels

ok thanks for your info spawny..really appreciate!

not built... it is Assemble, got a Sharp LCD A66 surprise also it is made in Malaysia but if you ask sharp they will tell you all LCD inner brain and intestine is from JP that is what i had been told... while Toshiba is full import, should be better plastic and also built quality kua... majority of the ppl have this concept, made in germany and japan is the best

hard decision here... both also nice why don u go to 1 shop that has both and ask them to compare side by side by playing the same movie and the and HDMI input cheers...

thanks micheal for your input...yup the best thing is to compared the tv side by side..saw sharp LC-40LB700M playing avatar movie in the shop yesterday..the picture movement is very smooth just like real thing..and not sure if the toshiba ZV can do like that...the Toshiba have 7ms in response time but have 200hz..anyone knows the response time for sharp LC-40LB700M?

for me toshiba clearscan 200 better than sharp, i watch sharp 100hz motionflow for movie avatar in speedy, make me dizzy..

i don't know about sharp, but the toshiba speaker and sound quality is one of the best i've ever heard from a tv, is like having a build in home theater system.

really? i should choose toshiba then..since many good response towards that model..thanks averyone

bro make sure u ask them to set the TV in home mode, coz my sharp has a setting when you switch on for the 1st time Shop(Display Set) or Home... according to them shop setting is better than home, so when you go home and set to home mode u might be disappointed

before i forget, if you don't like the smoothness of the picture, you can disable it with toshiba, my friend's dad bought the samsung led 3D, he said everything is set to 200hz, he cant change the setting, so all the movies he watched seems like his playing a game.

for toshiba zv u can select either home or store mode. normally store mode will be a bit brighter and consume more power.. for me I like less bright picture with more black level.

The sound of ZV model is indeed the best speaker I hv heard for a LCD tv. since I hv not own a ht yet this tv is producing a decent sound which will delay your hunt for a HT set

hmm i dont think i dont like the smoothness of the pic..the more smooth the more live the picture i think.. im still dont understand why some people dont like the pic to be smooth in movement..some said..watching too smooth picture will make u dizzy? is it true?

Because the smoothness seems fake, 200Hz means the screen is running at 200fps, the reason for this is to eliminate the motion blur present in the picture. All LCD suffer from this setback, the only tv that doesn't have motion blur is plama TV. So their trying to make the fps faster to eliminate the motion blur, but the drawback it makes the picture less natural. 100Hz is ok for me, but 200Hz is a bit to much for me. IMO, watching a movie at 200Hz is like watching a documentary channel, rather then watching a movie, sports channel are the only ones that can benefit from this feature, this is just my own understanding on it, i may be wrong but you always look it up on the net.

ok..thats good explanation by u spawny..thank u very much

The low end Sharp panel is not made in Japan, its a Taiwan panel..........want Japan GuiSan panel, go for X-Gen series

I would say go for Panasonic plasma V20 series. Going for 4.6k but it is very very good PQ. GO check at your nearby shop if you don't believe it . Better then spending money on a last year LCD technology.

Toshiba is made in Indonesia ..

correct me if i am wrong

i'd say sharp.Got bluray somemore.

this LC-40LB700M dont have bluray player

im changing my mind though from buying a ZV to this cause I saw my friend's LED TV and the colours are glossy and shiny
