Guys, can i get some recommendations on a 40-inch LCD TV? I need it for Astro, movies and preferably comes with an "integrated media player" where it can read downloaded movies saved in a portable hard disk. No gaming/connecting to PC involved.

One of the shops recommended Sharp as it's the 1st that comes with 4 true colours whereas others only have 3. I don't know much about this or perhaps the shop gets more incentives from Sharp?

Another one said that Sony is good. Price is around RM28xx (i think it's KLV-40BX400) and come with 1 free DVD player. Not much complaint from customers.

I asked about Samsung then he said if you buy a Korean car you will need a lot of service and repairs. Same goes to other Korean brands.

Now i'm unsure and i have not asked about Panasonic and LG though. In terms of pricing, i hope it would be <RM2500.

Please help. Thanks.

Sharp new technology makes pictures too yellowish. Sakit mata. Furthermore there is reflection on the screen.

The Sony one, has a more balanced contrast and pictures. However, it couldn't read movies stored in HDD. Heck, it cant even run a portable HDD itself. It wont support mkv or those regular formats you've downloaded from the internet.

Panasonic and LG... average.

Samsung LA40C550 ur best buy

Seriously,if u want a good media playback tv system,buy samsung..

Agree, go with Samsung (LA40C550)... Good model...

with the 4colour technologies from Sharp,that one is LED-backlite lcd tv..that one should be > Rm4000 ..

i recommend Toshiba-40cv700 coz cheaper price.about 2k only

Try to compare also the Toshiba Regza series.

Why wanna buy an oversized computer screen?

Get a nice Panny Plasma 42V20


......cabut..haha

eh... I didn't think that a Plasma would be deemed suitable as a Computer screen seeing that there's quite a bit of static 'things' on it like the icons, start menus, etc...

Hi..
Sorry for tumpang your thread...
Actually I have similar problem as the TS..
My father want to buy new tv so i suggest him 2 brands..
If Plasma TV go for Panasonic or go for Samsung LA40C530 if want a nice LCD which have capability playing movie files...
But got 1 problem here, my father is a Sony die hard fan because my current CRT TV is sony as well, so he want to buy SONY LCD as well..

I hope u guys can suggest me a Full HD Sony LCD which have same quality as Samsung LA40C530...

ohh..you didn't get what I meant...

i meant that LCDs are actually oversizes computer screens as a joke

Thanks everyone will definitely check Samsung LA40C550 out.

Lol same prob here. Somehow the older generations have this "Sony is the best" mindset.

The one i was recommended is <RM2500. Too bad i can't remember which model is that.
