DV-400V-S ? i saw this model at electric shop at gurney plaza at rm 599 wow ...

neo, too ex liao lar, get hd dvd player lar
i know u boleh one

HDDVD very exp la, the Toshiba's RM2499 without 1080p output really no point
And i'll buy HDDVD player if the price below 1k and support 1080p
I ask this Pioneer because i hv many DVD collection and I don't wanna spoil my PS3's lens.

neo, kita import sama sama, shud be ard 1k range

well it works for me? PQ looks the same as my old Philips DVD player (which was good to my non-AV eyes). Plays all my anime/series via the USB. no probs so far. no probs reading pirated discs either.

Must be either SenQ or Boon AV, rite? Well, better buy from outside shops ler, these places are a no no if you're paying by cash b'coz you can nego for a better price elsewhere but for paying by installment, these places will be the first choice lah b'coz they encourage you to pay by installments mah.

Well, the PS3 doesn't play dvds that well, the PQ is not even better than any budget dvd players but its blu-ray performance is on par with some blu-ray players out there so I guess Sony neglected support for normal dvd movies. I guess you wouldn't wanna mess around with PS3 lens because a brand new lens is RM580 each and yes, got one joker damaged the lens already because he enjoyed playing movies in vertical position.

har???? sunauto u sure or not? wat do u mean the ps3 doesnt play dvds tat well? the PQ is better lar, its even better than some upsclaers

brand new lens need rm 580 meh? miri bought for less than rm 200 incl shipping, stated as new IINM

i must be a joker then? upright or lying doent effect the lense, i think i have seen more movies on the ps3 than play games, touch wood, but no problem yet

Seriously PS3's dvd playback is no better than XBOX 360, you can check the review here, http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/cgi-bin/sho...on%203%20(HDMI) and there are other reviews from other sites too, just google around.

The PS3 lens will spoil without warning. I have spoke to the joker who placed his PS3 in vertical position, he said he was watching 300 on dvd, then the next morning, it failed to read any discs including PS3 games. I guess that it's either the placement of the console or the lens of the PS3 is not reliable, which is mostly true for Sony's Playstation products, that explains why I bought a few PS1 and PS2 consoles, all of them suffered from lens problem whereas my PS3, it should be fine, there are not much games to play on it after all. Better don't take a risk to use it to watch movies when you have other better and cheaper alternatives.

weird, my fren tested the ps3 was actually better than his sammy upscaler

well, i think its not the placemnet, more to lense failure, but my past ps1 and 2 experience was good, no such issue

is there a cheaper alternative to watcy blurays?

Got my samsung LCD TV also. however, i noticed that the color quality deteriorate if view from and angle say 25 degree from the centre axis. Is yours the same? Also for example when i adjusted the backlight from 10 to 7 on dynamic and when i restart the TV, it when back to 10 and the adjustment is not saved. yours like that?

My unit seem dont have that problem as yours even I sit beside the unit (about 45 degress). When you unplug the unit seems it back to default setting. You even need to set back your time

That's normal for LCD tvs, the best position will be sitting straight 90 degrees facing the panel itself. Nothing to panic actually.

which samsung lcdtv r u talking about?

* got myself a LA32R81 with two free gifts (Samsung DVD Divx Player and a panasonic rice cooker) for RM3500 last merdeka ..

The R and S series doesn't have a lot of significant difference. Only contrast ratio, HDMI inputs and viewing angle. Everytime you unplugged, the seeting is gone from what I understand.

i have to set back the my desire screen backlight everytime i switch it on after being on standby. at 45 degree, the colors are ok just a little deteriorate but not as good as watching at 90 degress. At 60 degree, the colors become lighter and not as good. model samsung LA37S8.

Just bought Sharp Aquos LC-32A53M from a shop at Bandar Puteri Puchong, RM3400, is it a good deal..?

Just want to share my experience with my purchase from a well-known dealer which has been mentioned many times in this website. They delivered my LCD TV complete in plastic bag, box ...the works but what got me suspicious is that they told me that they do not have any unit in their store for mw to view it. However they confirmed they have a display set in their branch to view it. As I already decided to buy that particular model, I ordered it and was told that they can deliver it after they received it from the manufacturer earliest within 3 days. Next day, I passed by the branch, just to check out the other units but noticed that they they do not have the particular model on display anymore. When I called the HQ, they said they have received the unit I have ordered (despite that the manufacturer does not work over the weekend) and they can deliver it later in the day. It was on a Sunday!!!

I got suspicious and called the manufacturer for the date of delivery to the outlet. Was told that the unit was delivered to the outlet more than 2 months ago!! This means that they gave me the showroom unit!!

I confronted the salesman and they agreed to exchange the unit. I called the manufacturer again and they confirmed that the new unit was delivered to the outlet the day before.

To all consumers, pls beware of these dealers disposing the display set for new sets

definately samsung !! best lcd , even smsung lcd phone are nicer.

actually this is quite common, the important thing is you get a good product with proper warranty ...

for example,

the unit may have stay in the factory for some time, then in the loading bay for another 2 months, then in the warehouse, then in the port, ship, then may go through a repack and retest exercises, then in the seller's main warehouse, then send to shop etc. whatever thing a consumer is getting it today may have gone through months of storing or re-store processes, the key thing is to make sure its is FULLy functioning and consumer right fully protected.

in this case, u can ask for a replacement or an extra discount if it is a display unit.

Sorry this maybe OT, not only TV's, but other display electrical appliances e.g. refrigerators, washing machine.. etc. This items are wiped clean by the salesman and delivered to the owners. I do not know why this ppl are so dishonest, but nobody likes to get things that are on display for sometime, IMHO is a common practice for them. So anybody have good ways to know if v are not getting display items?
