I have a distance of 11ft bettween LCD TV and sitting position. right now, I am 80% towards Toshiba Regza 37" (less than 5K). I wonder any guy with regza can give some comment on banding, dead pixel.

It looks to me that Toshiba has had good sales, when I was at Desa and other electrical shops, I saw the units are being shipped out. When I saw the Astro channels on the LCD TV, the picture quality is like spending RM 5000 on a RM 1000 CRT tube.

Some say Toshiba is more natural color than the Samrung R series. If I add 900 buck, I can get 42" LG (the other 20%). For that viewing distance, should i consider 42 "

Currently who is the leader on LC TV sales in Malaysia?QTY wise - Sharp, LG, Samsung? agree

Can I ask the LG 42" users, are you satisfied with the PC mode connection. is it clear enuff using dvi-hdmi. lets say can u surf the net from 8ft away. or u must sit say 3 or 4 feet away.

want to use it for both pc and tv mode, at the convenient of sitting at the sofa.

what is the LG standard warranty covers. How much is it to extend warranty for 1 year? are they using good capacitors.

hi guys,

i am quite close of concluding a lcd TV 42", Toshiba 42". Apparently LG 42" no stock. pls let me know if you can get better price than below + contact no for the benefits of consumerism.

I hope some guy can give comment on JVC 40" vs Toshiba 42". Apparently I notice toshiba color is more natural, (less vivid) and the JVC color is more lively (and so less natural). is there any advantage of 32 bit processor (JVC ) vs Toshiba 24 bit.

pls comment.

below is the final price i have gathered.

u got pm

Pls remember a lot of forumer has advised to stay away from those non-branded LCD. These lcd will give you more trouble than u know and then picture quality is so so only. Then u may end up doing an upgrade which will cost you more than u invest in good quality product. if limited by budget, might as well stick with CRT, best return for your $$$$.

I totally agree as I already started thinking.

all the toshiba, LG, Philip, Haier, paladine , etc only 1 hdmi

wheareas Sharp, JVC, other with 2 hdmi for video, pc input, etc. nobody like splitter when u have move back and forth to switch.

Pls check post #92 for cash and delivery price


it seems Toshiba 42" is closing the gap of LG 42", by a diff of RM500 and warranty 2 year vs 1 year.

I wonder if I should park the money NOW.

As I have been monitoring, the price keep dropping by about RM 200 per week. If my prediction is correction, I will be on my way to SS2 next week.

yes. Thats right. Legend seem to be super seller philip LCD TV and they are promoting it like no tomorrow.

What happens is all the LG, Toshiba, Sharp, china brand all suffers from contrast problem. Especially so if u watch DVD, astro, pause the movie that shows men wearing dark green/black shirt in dark area like disco. You will notice LG panels contrast fade into white, same for Toshiba and Aquos, but not so bad. (GC and china brand no need to mention).

Philips and Hitachi has higher contrast than those panel. So the Philips and Hitachi (Samsung also not bad) is outstanding in displaying those black and whites, distinctly. in doing so, the panel portrays the picture in its fidelity. However, how does Philip LCD do that when they are being the same panel as LG, toshiba, etc?
On close up by standing near Philip panels, u will notice the pixelation at those curves ( aliasing issues)

Another panel worth the thumbs up is Sharp PX 32". The display and contrast is simply outstanding. I just hope Sharp PX 37" is not too far away.

Therefore after much thot, i finally decided Toshiba 37" (who need 1080p when your panel is less than 42") and happily withdraw my money in cold hard cash.

When I wanted to part my money, I asked for some discount (enuf for me drive back) only to be TOLD by owner RUDELY this -

Mr L. "I dont mean to be rude, but I am telling you so that u will be smart. We sell the most LCD in Malaysia and we dont use any tactics like no stock."

me " I know but do u have to talk like that"

Mr L. " This is the way we do business, u are just wasting your time" and he just walk away.


So folks, if u go to this shop, dont ask too much, just park your money and they will come, and be happy.

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.

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

Looks like I got alternative. Can u PM or let me know this TBM contact.

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.

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

http://www.lcdtvbuyingguide.com/lcdtv/lcd-...alibration.html

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.

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.

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.

rgds

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 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.

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

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.

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.
