This is the kinda thinking and attitude that in the end makes the Malaysian consumer suffers. The "tidak apa" attitude.

That's why in US, Europe and other countries, warranties cover are much better and refund policies are the norm rather than exception unlike here. You won't see refund policies except a few at Tesco and Carrefour.

Whether it's RM1K or RM100, it's our hard earned cash and it is our right to get our money worth.

An indian colleague(from India, not our local indians), once told me in india, consumers can sue the shit out of everything. He said there's one case someone sue a soap company because the bar of soap does not met the specifiction (weight, dimension etc) as printed. He won.


Then there was a guy in US who has a blog who says he simply returns to K-Mart/Wall Mart (somewhere, can't remember) for stuff he bought elsewhere and still get money back!!! Now, that's consumer power!!!

So next time, think carefully about the money spent. Use your right as consumers or in the end, it's we who lose out to big companies who walk all over us because we are so easily sucumb to their policies.

Went to all IT Hypermarket just now...too many LCDs...very confusing...in the end didn't buy anything becoz dunno what to choose!!!

20" LCD very tempting now only RM8xx. I think i'll go straight to 20" WideScreen...

I think a week ago or so, saw the Samsung 20"LCD Widescreen (dunno model), with 3000 contrast ratio and 2ms response only RM999!!

But i can't find this model anywhere now! Anyone know what's the usual price for this model?

Definitely wide screen. It's the future. RM900 can get 20" widescreen already...any brands. A lot of games support widescreen, in the event it doesn't, i still can live with 2 black bars at the side.

Just want to ask. What is the dead-pixel warranty policy for most brands? I've asked at ALL IT hypermarket at Digital Mall yesterday and the fella told me 7 dead pixels!!! I'm not quite sure i trust the guy though....he doesn't seems to know what he is talking....ask him TN panels also dunno!!!

Is there any zero dead pixels warranty for any brands?

1 to 1 exchange within 7 working days for Samsung? Not bad wor. Thanks for the info, but do all the dealers pratice this or they just pretend dunno? I'm afraid if some of this dealer refuse to entertain.

If after several years, then cannot complain-ler of course.
