I’ve mentioned “black levels” a few times already and most of you probably don’t know or don’t even care what that means.  Does it really matter?  Well Pioneer thought it mattered enough to name their TV after this fact, and as we’ve already established, they made the best TV’s of all time.  Black levels basically means the ability of the TV to create total blackness.  The Pioneer Elite KURO created the absolute darkest blacks of any TV ever created.  You could have the TV on a pitch black scene in a dark room and you wouldn’t even know the TV was turned on.  Most LCD’s created a dark grey or a glowing “black” appearance on black scenes, but the KURO could create almost an “infinite black.”  One of the biggest selling points of TV’s these days is the “Contrast Ratio”, meaning the range from darkest black to brightest white.  The best LCD TV’s now produce 1:5,000,000 contrast ratios.  They achieve this by making their TV’s brighter.  Don’t get me wrong, LCD/LED’s produce decent black levels, but because the KURO’s black levels were so dark they contrast ratio was “unmeasurable”  stated as being “near infinite.”  The black levels are the canvas of any picture and darker blacks create an environment for better color accuracy and more realistic picture quality which the KURO possessed as well.  Now days, the KURO has become something of a legend.  If you walk into an electronics store and ask a specialist if they have a TV as good as the KURO, they’ll usually laugh and say something like, “I wish!”  This TV has recently sold for over $10000 used on Amazon and $12000 new on eBay.  That’s right, it’s brought over double its original MSRP.  The last time I was in Ultimate Electronics I even asked the manager where I could buy the best TV in the world and he stated simply, “eBay!”

Can asomeone explain to me why we can get cheaper s4 by registering a package with celcom, maxis or digi? We still need to pay in advance which in total will come to the same price if we get the phone wthout the contract

Most of the upfront payment is returned back to you via the form of monthly rebates. So it is slightly cheaper.

Also, long time users of a particular network are normally exempt from paying most upfront payments.

Just now at lowyat plaza,see Samsung shop full of people trying galaxy s4,just because its "Samsung" logo

Phone's speaker...

To all who see large blocks of rubbish postings in the owners' list, please ignore as it is our friendly super troll trying to gain some atttention. It will get cleaned up periodically.

Just now try out a demo unit @ Samsung Low Yat Plaza and found out that lagging,sound system poor,cheap plastic for the casing.
The only best thing i found on this S4 is the Screen is Fantastic and the Camera works well.

Actually I had try 3 units, one at DiGi shop, one at Celcom shop and lastly at Samsung Shop.

All same, it was pretty fast open anything, but......... no buttery smoothness in animation. All frame cut issue at S III appear at S4 Exynos edition.

What really impress me is the screen only, it was the best AMOLED screen I seen so far.

Example, pinch to zoom at full widgets page at launcher, also when at App drawer widget page. This two part is the most obvious seen the smoothness issue.

Also, frankly said, certain apps when opening, got not smooth issue as well. I forgot which app I open already. (It was extremely fast opening, it just the animation part issue).

That why I said, most issue at S III is present at S4.

I'd recommend spigen's ultra oleophobic screen protectors
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/samsung/g...-steinheil.html

from this buyer here - http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=2788738&hl=

the seller confirms the authenticity . the lead time is 2-3 weeks

I doubt is genuine as similar price range are imitation through ebay
Original from spigen is rm70+ n dont understand how 3rd party can sell cheaper unless is imitation . Check ebay plenty such imitations rm40-50 range

After 4 days, I can say that I'm really impressed with the battery life. I unplugged the charger at 7 am, til now still have 40% left, with more than 4 hours of screen time and all day mobile data switched on.

Bought it online straight from SGP's website weeks ago before the S4 was released and they were giving out cheap discount codes haha. The oleophobic coating is good so far, makes the screen easy to wipe clean and doesn't lower image quality though previously, there have been been talks about the coating becoming ineffective after a few weeks on their previous SPs, so to know that, I guess I have to just wait and see.

sigh , went to digi alamanda and wish to get S4 for RM999 (i'm a loyal digi maa) but get upset when told out of stock T-T

just in curiosity , SPigen ori and not ori , beside the price, any different ?
