i personally will recommend Samsung LED, reason

1) 1st brand lauching LED commecial brand tv
2) ultra clear panal, because of this panal it give u more clear picture compare with other
3) usd support hd format like mkv, tp, ts file which other can't support
4) can play hard disk drive (HDD) because one of the usb slot having provide power consumption to HDD
........


but if u r looking for 3d tv, ......for ur information requirement fast respon for 3d tv very important.....for this reason i prefer panasonic because respone time for plasma always better than lcd and led

Bought the Panasonic THL42D25K cos I quite liked the non-reflective surface. The outlook design isn't that fantastic but the screen colors look natural. Will try to feedback more once I get it delivered to the new place which would only be ready later this weekend or next week...

Some other things you'd probably know is that... ethernet for Skype and the sales person says that it can access media files from the network via ethernet. Not sure about eh USB port though...

The USB port is usually for hooking up digicams for direct playback/display off them on your TV. Some other brands like LG, Samsung, Phillips, can playback limited avi/mkv files but with Panny, don't think they have this feature

THL42D25K can play Divx HD (.mkv) files thru USB..read from USB flash card but not sure if it can read from HDD..

will give it a try when I get it this weekend and let you guys know the outcome

Hi there,

I did a bit of research and considered the following model


Samsung 46 UAC6900 @ RM6500

Samsung 46 C 6200 (SenQ Model)

Sharp 46LC 820M @ RM6180 FOC BlueRAY Player. Without blueray RM6180 - 300 = RM5880

LG 47 SL90QD @ RM5800

Finally i got myself the Sharp simply because value for money. Samsung 46 UAC6900 is great in contrast and sharp but too bright for home viewing. Beware that in the shops normally they will set it to almost maximum brightness to make the picture stand out but not practical at home.

Comparing Samsung and Sharp after calibration almost the same to my naked eyes. Both Samsung and Sharp are quite reflective but Sharp total beat Samsung here (Not a good thing). But at a price differences of RM620 this can be accepted

Another model i wish to recomend. That LG 47 SL90D. Quite like the design. Its an old model but quality wise almost the same.

bought it from SenQ as this model only sold by SenQ, no idea for 40" now, i was quoted about RM4900, but that was bout 2 months ago, should be much lower now. SenQ always has promotion, u may get the latest quote from them.

How was the calibration done?

LG 47 SL90QD @ RM5800

Can I get this for RM 4500?

I would not recommend Philips TV. I just bought the 32PFL5605S/98. Plugged into wall plug nothing happen. Called Philips service and was asked to refer to another service center (being push here and there) and finally was told that Philips TV is notorious with the power board as it can be easily get burn or shorted. Philips policy has no one to one exchange and therefore I have to wait for 1 week to get the power board change. I should have paid more to get a Sharp TV instead though its pricey but reliable.

Quick question regarding LED TV, is there any manufacturer still producing Full Array LED backlit instead of Edge-lit ?

i would like to prefer toshiba ... this brand is little tough also ....

Whats the current price on a samsung LED TV series 7000 46 inch? thanks

Panny can run the mkv file... it has the Divx HD registration code. Need to register this b4 it can fully optimized for media file playback.

So far did not try this out as i am using HDD player from yangxi

Panny with optimization, the power usage can go as low as 80W only. This is what i read from other forum

I own this model also, used 5 month oledi.. hope not gimme any prob like what happen to you.. connect to PC with Quad 5770HD played NFS Shift dang nice, also work superb with XBOX 360 .. and yes HD Natural Motion with 100Hz LCD 2Ms i love it.. but my wife say it funny when watch movie da motion look like drama series, .. but no prob since there a preset for movie.

Hmm... luckily I read this in time. Was surveying around for a TV & quite tempted to go for a Philips.

saw the UA40C5000 selling RM3599 at Harvey Norman..

the question is...is Samsung tv reliable?

most that I heard, it's not that long lasting for most of it product..but they do make the best LED tv..
