CNY around the corner oledi...wait for festive discounts, compare prices and then get it....

But if you wanna show off your 42incher during CNY, make sure of the leadtime. Depending on location, sometimes it takes 2 weeks...but for KL I think no probs.

me CNY no body come my house one

Next time, we go Speedy together lor, I can tell you which one can buy, which one cannot buy. I know the Speedy Video supervisor personally, not happy, bring it back and change. Last time, I bought Election dvd, the cover said widescreen but inside full screen so took it back and change. Not all region 3 dvds are not that bad, you can try buying MI3, Tokyo Drift, Spiderman 3, Fantasic Four 2, 300, Ghost Rider, etc from Mediamax, Berjaya HVN, Warner and Movie Magic, the quality is the same as region 1, just that sometimes region 1 might have special packaging for those special edition ones. Otherwise, the price difference is worth getting region 3 to be honest.

Didn't buy those, so dunno... Haven't watch RE yet, but i've tested it and it's D5 disc with 2mbit rate video...like pasar malam disc.

Now i'm looking for War of the Worlds (Tom Cruise version)...Play Asia also around RM43...Maybe i should buy from them??

Tip :- Ask Sunauto, he got good connections with Speedy Supervisor. Can get inside info on which titles are better quality

I apologise to the others, have gone complete off topic

Hi friends,
I am new to this forum and am interested in the discussions going on here. I am also interested in buying a 42" LCD mainly to watch Astro and DVDs. Some models that fit my budget are:

Sony KLV-40S310A
Toshiba 42A3500
Sharp LC42BX5M
Sharp LC42PX5M
Samsung LA40S81B
LG 42LC7R

I have struck out plasma as my downlights will be a glare on the plasma.
Can anyone give any recommendations on what will be the best among those above for Astro and usual DVDs?

Really appreciate anyones advice. Thanks a million!

I saw a 32A53 on astro, and damn it's nice, at least it;s better than toshiba and other brands. I don;t get to see the 42" model, but I asked the salesman and he says the quality should be about the same, although I kinda doubt it a little bit. My opinion - go audition the tv and see which one you like.

Hi, plasma have reflective displays, but manufacturers have cut down on the glare oledi.
Best if you go to those mega stores and check them out yourself before you judge plasmas to be glary.
Panasonic and Pioneer plasma are good examples of plasmas with anti glare coating or filters.

If you are into Astro and DVDs...get plasmas...

LCD are also good, but if you happen to have kids at home, hehe.. the first thing you should teach them is not use a pen/color pencil/crayon on the screen, that will ruin your set.
Children got alot of imagination...hehe...

yesterday wen to SG, this shop like pioneer super dealer, all the latest model of pioneer stuff dia ada, from the kuros to the LX70 line of products including the HTP LX70 (some sort of HTIB (excl dvd) but does trueHD and HD MA)

my wife pijak me kaw kaw, say my panny kalers sucks compare to hte pioneer , and reprimnaded me for not going for the pioneer...

i saw side by side comparison btwn the pioneer (7th gen) and a sammy or sharp, one scen with full black background and a rose in the middle...
the LCD has blue greyish kaler for the black background.....

barney on plasma, YEH!!!!

not tat any i know off, but i heard samsung one ada

You should ask her to chip in more money for the pioneer...since it cost almost twice of the panny

not bad she can shop with u. aiya then change loh, simple only mah
