I have already mentioned. check post #92 for latest price.

seng H*** and H** are like best denki and mediaplex, dont waste your time checking with them. they cant do the price like desa or L*****. For some reasons, these shops that u mentioned claimed to be Fair Price,which means lowest. This fair price scheme make me laugh, whenever i hear on Radio.

It appears the L shop cant be beaten. The only nearest contender might be Harvey at the weekend.

All of the shops that you mention have high overheads as most of them have prime shoplots. You can't deny that its more pleasent to shop at Seng Heng, HSL, Best Denki, Mediaplex, etc etc than L right?

Bro, your "L" shop can do cc installment or not? If kenot than no choice la,must buy from HSL.

well u wan cheap rite.

the price is for cold hard cash. do u think HSL can giv u that price at cash.

looks like have to spend chinese new year with crt.

I just wanna know the best bargain i can get.I'm not rich people,so that's why i opted for installment.If i can pay cash confirm i buy from bysquashy alredi.Anyway,thanks for sharing information.

p/s : I check in SG, samsung 32 inch lcd tv is RM1K cheaper than Malaysia,got installment also.Too bad will kena tax if bring in.

CC payment I'm able to do, but not installment. Sry bro. I'm sure if I can do installment, orders will be pouring in. Anyone wanna be my partner to provide CC installment? Hehehe

BTW, you MAY pass it as gift if the customs ask you about the unit.

Bro,can this SONY 76H DVD player play AVI files with separate subtitle files? Like SRT, etc. Also can this player hooked to media using usb like tumb drive or etc?

No problem at all.Guess have to stick with HSL.

Gift? Aiyo bro,the box damn big..confirm kena tax one

Thkx for the technical advice. Will do more comparing before spending my hard earned money.

I just found my 37" LG got differential backlight problem. The right side is too bright while left side is just nice.

I just bought the LG 37", not realising after so many problem Edifier is going through. I still hope my problem not too big.

Appreciate if Edifier can pm me the contact no of the LG enginner. May be they can perform the backlight adjustment. I should have bought the Toshiba 37"

By the way, I got it fro Harvey Norman and they dont carry Toshiba LCD TV.

Hi ccschua, care to let me know how much you got yours? Thinking of buying LG 32" or 37" from Harvey Norman too. Went to MidValley and the guy straight away giving a RM200 discount over the advertised price. I've been waited for about a month now, a dealer said that the LCD & Plasma prices will go down after CNY. Couldn't wait now since we don't have any TV at all in the house right now.

Well the price should be less than RM 4,500. try your best from there. The L-shop fix their price at RM 4,500, take it or leave it. At least Harvey let me bargain lower than L-shop. Remember u may have to live with lousy astro output

The lowest 42" Toshiba is RM6,350 as mentioned by ccschua. I am also eyeing on this particular model. Does the shop at Kelana carry the JVC LCD? It was highly recommended due to the 32 bit processor. Lowest price was RM7,000 (pre-CNY).

I don't have their number, my SenQ dealer help me to contact them & after they check they also agree the backlight prob and i manage to get back the 42"2RR model. This LCD have 1 more layer (glass make by Haier) so the pic is better than the 37" 1RR.

The LG people offer me very cheap - don;t know Y? i get the 42" @ >< RM8500. The SRP is around >< RM9400, funny??

U can get de number fr the Harvey Norman or ask them to get the LG technican to pay a visit to your home. LG after sale service is very good indeed.

Just got myself the sony 76H. Got it less than the RM 599 (the discount enuf to buy a Taiwan component cable) and the receipt shows RM 599. Sony policy (at the consumer expense)! understand we have to register the product at website for warranty.

I was auditioning at the AV shop, they tried for me component, HDMI and the good Rogers ver 2.0 HDMI. Between HDMI and Component, I can only notice slight improvement. When I look at the Sony LCD TV V200a, I feel like WOW, nice LCD TV.

Why buy a sony 76H when u're not using HDMI cable?

Maybe it's future ready. To be frank, I bought it first before getting my Bravia V series, I was watching it with my trusty Sony CRT tv via component videos until I got a Bravia V series for myself. That could be the reason why for some, they just buy the player first.

that's also the reason I dun buy 76H. I rather buy Samsung HD950 with added SACD/DVD audio functionality with upconvert over component with rm100 price difference

Yeah, I buy the sony player for future prove (enuf for my LG 37" LCD TV at 1080i). bcos for simplicity that my wife or mom wants to watch DVD (just slot in dvd) rather than going thru the HTPC. I reserve the HDMI for HTPC. I notice i bought the wrong hdmi dvi cable. I got it at All IT for RM 89 and found out that cable is for projector. got to go back and change, perhaps i should have bought a hdmi - dvi conveertor and use dvi-dvi cable.


btw, how to know if the picture is in 1080i mode or 720p? when i press the progressive button, the picture become blur. I change the Componenet setting to CPrPb. what setting to do to give best display.

Tks Edifier, I have no problem with the LG set, it was due to ambient light. I checked it under total darkness and it was ok. It is typical that LG contrast is not as good as Toshiba. I should have added RM 350 for the Toshiba. Nevertheless I am very happy with the set.

Currently, I have tried most sorts of connection to the 37" lcd tv.
1. S-video RM 22 - Bought 24k gold plated cable for Astro purpose - terrible. worse than composite cable. I wish to have a monster cable or Ixos or Philips PXT 1000 for try. Theoritically S-video is better than composite, but the confusion is Astro is broadcasting Standard definition. so dont expect too much from Astro.

2. component cable RM 39 - Sony DVD 96h and lcd tv. This is good for those 1080i upscale movies. I tried watching monster incorporated, Lord of the ring and spider man, james taylor - nice.

3. HDMI cable RM 99. TXL link - sony DVD 96H to lcd tv. Wow. all I can say is Wow. Watching those movies is wow wow. Rich color, no more flashing at watching window frames ( antialising effects - those straight lines being rotated). Stereo sound, nice cabling. Forget about those RM 300 hdmi cables, after it is all digital.

4. RGB connection 15 pin D-Sub good grade RM 12 (kedai potong, dont buy those black cable loh) - HTPC to LCD TV. surfing internet and typing documents is very nice. Watching those 1080i movies - so so only. no wow.

5. dvi - > HDMI. HTPC connection to lcd tv. The cable returned to All-IT hyper. Suspect the cable problem and turned out to be true after I exchange the cable for HDMI cable (see no 3).

in fact, those guys in AVSFORUM suggest not to buy this DVI-HDMI cable at the moment. instead invest in HDMI-HDMI and buy HDMI to DVI converter. Future technology is going towards hdmi.
