I've the same question as you.
The sales man of Harvey Norman intro us L550M and then we ordered from other retail shop which we get it at RM 2300.
However, today they delivered the wrong model L55M to us.

So, I'm wondering which model is better?
I saw the price from Sharp website:
L55M - RCP: RM2,999.00
L550M - RCP: RM2,699.00
Is this mean L55M has better feature than L550M??

Please advise..thx

I also confuse which model to buy , i still prefer the lc40l55m design(all black) instead the new design lc40l550m design(chrome/steel lining above the speaker), but the old model is 100hz lcd compare to new model which lc40l550m with added usb capability to play media file and some SRS HD sound.


The price for LC40L55M is RM2,299 and the price for LC40L550M is RM2,249.


Can anyone give some opinion or sharing the experince of using one of this model.

i was thought before to get lc40l550m, but somehow i really dun like the chrome/steel lining bar above the speaker, might cause reflection while watching...

as for LC40L55M, i heard some bros here commented that the 100hz on this model actually does nothing...u need to search those info share before within this forum.

C-40L500M Full HD 10W x 2 Speakers 3 HDMI Input Latest Model RM 2099 in penang.

40LC55M - RM 2,299 in Penang

Save your money. The 40LC55M 100hz doesn't work. Get the cheaper model.

how do you know it doesnt work?

Use eyes watch. I also have an older Sharp 32" with 100Hz. No difference. The newer Quattron LED 100Hz does work though and is pretty good.

TS: The 550M can be bought for RM2K i think. I bought a 500M recently, same as 550M but no media player. Only RM 1.9k. Buy the cheapest model you can get without all those useless feature, then save the money for a dedicated media player like WDTV Live. The 550M/500M support 1080p/24, which is very important for watching HD mkv movies. Make sure you buy a media player that support 1080p/24 like WDTV Live. If not, then you'll experience juddering.

Anybody know where can get the old model Sharp LC40L50M and LC40L55M in Penang.
already survey a few shop in Penang but only got display unit only.

Why buy those old models? Their design looks fugly. The 500M/550M looks way better. Specs also about the same.

sure got on the 100 hz anot...by default its off wo...

Like i said, those old models 100Hz are USELESS. No difference. You can go to the shops and make sure the settings is on (or maybe they have split screen demo mode). See if you can tell the diiference.

means its on anot when u see it? maybe the source or ur eye got problem, or really its not working. and from ur last sentence... sound just plain sarcastic and dun intend to help ppl.

EDIT: wah edit it so fast...should have quoted ur reply just now. nvm. maybe u understood how it sounded.

Ok, sorry, sarcasm is my trademark. If u don't believe, go test urself is best, advice is given, take it or not up to u.

no la, just asking only cos thought maybe u not aware of the on/off thing as i also didnt realise until check manual. still sense some sarcasm in ur reply... hmm.

imo those demo display source cannot be trusted...and some shops using just dvd-upscale component input, might not stretch it to the max. ownself hav ori bluray player, hdmi, ori blu ray and good movie to test only can judge.

EDIT: and of coz the difference is very minimal for small tv (32-40inch). if bigger ~50+ inch, then can notice wan... 720p and 1080p and original blu-ray. its still subtle, but noticable if u have very sharp eyes and an enthusiast.

I guess you didn't read properly....i have a 32" Sharp with 100hZ Finemotion. I watch HD 1080p on it everyday. Can split the screen somemore in demo mode. Absolutely ZERO difference. Same goes for all those old 100Hz Fine Motion. Motion tech, doesn't matter if ur source is HD or SD. Even SD can see difference if it works (albeit with more motion blurring and pixelly dots..maybe even looks more horrible with it on then off). If you want REAL 100hz Motion that shows significant difference, go for the new Philips HD Natural Motion, Sony's MotionFlow or Sharp's LED Quattron with 100Hz.

And yes, i am still sarcastic...don't be a lazy bum and expect an answer in a forum and get ur lazy arse down to the showroom to test it yourself.

very good trade... ekekek....
i'm now decided to buy 650M / 500M

where can i get this price?? >>>

LC-40L500M Full HD 10W x 2 Speakers 3 HDMI Input Latest Model RM 1799.00

LC-40L650M Full HD and 100hz Low Price RM 2399.00 New revised price....19/12/2010

lol... not doubting ur answer, rather wan to clarify only. and i also just did mention that demo display (those in showroom) can be deceiving...go there test also might be deceiving. i think u get my replies the wrong way edi bro...haha.

so to summarize: if u indeed have the 100 hz thing on, test it at home, and no difference, then ok.

500M for rm 1.8k??? Where bro?? I also wanna know!

650M for 2.4k...not worth the money IMO...i think can buy Philips 40" LED with Full HD Natural motion for RM3k. Not sure how much is the cheapest Sharp LED Quatttron 40".

check kevin thread from the sales section, very good seller.....i think he revised the price last 2 days.
