Honestly i would go for Sony Bravia V or S series but the damn cloudy black screen really annoys me when i am watching blu-ray / dvd especially . But thank god my newly exchanged Sharp PX got no issue with banding , dead pixel and etc . On my ps3 Bravia > PX

Bravia 46v2500 backlight in total darkness with 1080p black signal through vga ...actual perceive image is like 1/5 of a sec shutter speed.. in mild lighting condition black screen is as dark as the tv bezel

banding or cloudy screen seems so common on LCD

WHat do you guys think of buying the LCD TV after CNY. How much do u think the 32/37" price will come down.

I have this dilemma.

Should I get Hitachi 37" - good quality, 2 hdmi, high contrast/color and cost 5800

or Toshiba 37" - medium quality and cost RM 4750. different of rm 1010 for quality issues.


is anyone using hitachi lcd tv care to comment.

it depends on how demanding you are....like alamaklor, he will never get his tv until 2010......kekekeke

1000 bucks can do quite a lot of things..... get a nice tv bench to pair with your toshiba...good idea??

I have spent 1400 for tv bench. I just dunno when is Sharp 37" PX coming out. Bysquasy care to highlight??

It appears no other shop can give you lower price than This company starts with capital L in SS2. Do let me know if you can find one. I will never go back to this L shop (LSLY).

latest price at post #92

I too was deciding between Toshiba and JVC. In your subsequent posting, understand that you have decided on Toshiba. So, I thought that I just follow your choice since you have done so much homework already.

But just this morning I was at a showroom at Pudu and was comparing these 2 units. Noticed that the Toshiba has a noticable picture noise compared to JVC which was running smoothly. Other makes also have the similar problem except this JVC. Was told that the 32 bit processor is the reason for the fine PC of JVC.

What made you decided on the Toshiba, other that the price and the larger screen? I was quoted RM7k for the JVC and RM6600 for the Toshiba.

Frankly I have not gone much into JVC. I think JVC. Samsung and sony are all 40" How u check noise? What I did was I ask them to swap the cable between LG and Toshiba and notice that still Toshiba has better output contrast than LG. U need to swap the cable, pause the screen and check the quality. I am no techno guy, but in image processing, just like your graphic card, it may be powerful, but the algorithm implemented by efficient coding can do more work than another powerful processor. It's all technical jargons unless some specialist care to enlighten, else I am speculating or confuse those who read my message.

Also I dunno if there is any engineering/professional comparisons, like those tv monitor, using the software output + image capture/camera to check on output of LCD TV and report the results. In this way, machine will tell the parameters in true engineering facts than human beings. Again many would say the beuaty lies in the eye of beholder. But if we have engineering quality parameters as first defense, at least we pay for the value that we get, on cases that is marginal like yours, JVC or Toshiba. In short, is there any calibration results on LCD TV that is reported.



Just called them, TBM air cond and electrical at Old Klang Road 03-7983 2020 and apprently they cant do this price. they say suicidal.

Last I heard, it will be here by next month, will check with Sharp again tomorrow, hope that they'll price it competitively

i'm planning to get the 26" first for playing games in such small room. My living room requires at least 37" so i'll wait the price to come down further before flashing my card. sorry for late reply.

i went to the legendary shop as well. After asking few dumb questions the salesperson receive a call then off he went and left me alone in the shop. If i got a van, i might cart off some 42incher with me then do bulk here in LYN...

Oops. There is something that u have to do before swap cable.

again this is long process. I wonder when u buy LCD TV, the "installer" carry out this simple steps or not. Any sifus here have got the disc to do the calibration.

rgds.

Hi,

Sorry to hijack tis thread...

Has any bros tried/ tested out de Quayle brand of Lcd Tvs...de reason I am asking is dat I am offered at a quite tempting price and was wondering if it was half decent?

Thanks for ur comments
Dirtrun

Ok guys, LC42PX5M is already here in Malaysia, I haven't get a quote from Sharp yet, for those who is interested, do PM me, thanks.

Bysquashy,

i gues your 37PX series would not be cheap as the 37" is from japan.

wht would be the price? for 42", isnt that advisable to go for full HD, 1080p.

Almost all electrical goods in M'sia is by leaps more expensive than overseas, even if we compare with our neighbor down south. For a 42", yes I would recommend 1080p but bear in mind that a 42" 1080 will set you back at least RM12K. For those whose going for 42" PX series, the pixels is not that huge, I think you really need to sit less than 4 feet to notice.

these are the quotes I got from a shop at klana jaya, (suggested) the rrp is from H#L website to compare.
