Went to Pavilion Harvey Norman yesterday, kept negotiating the price for Sony HT-RT5 soundbar, told the salesperson I only will buy if he can give it to me at RM1888.00 plus I'm getting several other big appliances such as LED TV, Washing machine, Fridge etc.

He went to check with his manager then told me alright, RM1888.00. I was delighted then went to look at other stuff, next moment he walked over and  said "Boss, sorry. HT-RT5 cannot sell you at that price because below cost, our cost is RM1900.00."

I was like...wtf. No mood anymore....LOL. Anyway I don't blame him as people make mistakes. Told him I will conclude a month later when my house reno is ready. I read Sunway Harvey is selling at RM1999.00, any other better offer out there?

HM good for checking out how a model perform. If looking for the best price, I doubt they can give.
Since you were at Pavilion, why not waste some time at Desa Home theater at Lowyat plaza? Their price are pretty good especially when they are doing old sock flushing.

But sometimes I not that happy is, not all will carry the same offer between branches, like this has so and so equipment for sale, another does not have.

Yes indeed, even Harvey Norman don't carry all models. Better call before I proceed.

Yup, give a call first. Sometimes you can even get ZIIP with rm0 admin fee thumbup.gif

been using lg bb5530a for 5-6 months

have to say that it exceeds my expectation
+ wireless setup, no more kids pulling cable
+ bd/dvd player in one body
+ much simpler and neat
+ 4.1 (better than tv...lol)
- not actual surround, its a soundbar so more or less
within expectation

hoping it'll last at least 2-3 years, i was quite reluctant
to purchase a soundbar but got a good deal on this one.
one of my better investment so to say

Do play more DVDs and BDs, swap often between them thumbup.gif

Hi.

2nd day on the 2016, 1st question,
what brand to look for high speed HDMI cable?

cheers

Cheapest rm10 cable will able to show good quality picture, rm1000 also doing the same.
There's no "brands" to begin with, since most of the signal are 1 and 0. Will copper's purity change this 1 and 0? Nope, it won't. SO get the cheapest will do.
What more important is you must secure the connections properly, or else you may have "dusty" picture like the old CRT TVs.

2nd Question,

and where to find a rear speaker wall bracket in Klang Valley?

Shah Alam, Subang Jaya, KL, any where in Klang vallley.

Cheers

Electronic shops should be selling. If KL area, Jalan Pasar.
