Just check at Onking USJ for Sharp 40L550M & Toshiba 40CV700E.
This Sharp 40L550M tend to be more darker(quite dark) when showing astro beyond HD TVB series compare to others model like Toshiba 40CV700E & Samsung's LA40C530. Actually show unit only have Sharp 40L500M but the sells guy say both are same except USB input. Ask to Tune the color but they claim already higher color, not sure true or not.
The sells guy also say Sharp LCD tend to be darker because Sharp normally not have very high contrast ratio.

So want to ask is true Sharp LCD tend to be darker?

How much is LC-40L550M now? What the different with LC-40L650M and how much is this LC-40L650M?

is 1.9k market price
i think its quite cheap!

All the RMVB im watching now is 720P la.. haha
Now all TVB drama i also go for 720p version as it is only compressed to 600mb+ per episod..Not bad.. Last time all 1GB per episod..

Usually ppl day higher contrast ratio = darker picture it can goes..

Anyway those Contrast ratio cannot be trusted.. Korean n China brands usually label their LCD has higher contrast than those Japanese manufacturer..

oh.. so where u bought urs?
mind to share?

Just bought the sharp LC550M, to my surprice ... the quality is better than what i expected

the price i pay is <RM2k for a shop in tmn sea.

Tested the PQ from unifi STB ... the TV channel is very good ~~
really out of my expectation ~~ thumbs up for sony

however when i try to pay latest mkv avatar(1080p/DTS/15.2 GB) using its USB ... just got video but no sound XD

playing RMVB files are awesome too

ya, when i bought at that shop surprise me too ..
at first i went to kevin shop but out of stock ... then just survey another shop .. cheaper than my favourite shop XD

the quality from LC550 really awesome .. at first i thought i bought an LED =.= .. it is so sharp and good PQ ... thumbs up to sharp ~

just the cons: the controller not so solid and too small 

thanks for all the feedback
