Try Denki Best at MidValley. There is this Malay salesman who is very helpful. He installed Astro signal into a the Toshiba, JVC and Sony V series. Astro PQ is much better in the Toshiba compared to the JVC and at par with the V series which is much expensive. In my opinion, Toshiba is a good buy. Shopping for the best price now.

Suggest that you check out at Denki to compare.

Wah jealous lor ........ using Regza 42" pulak to play XBOX 360, I bet the DOA 4 will look huge on your Regza. Hai ....... too bad ...... out of my budget, I'm just using a normal Bravia V series 40". My uncle is using a Regza 32" model. To be honest, Regza is pretty good, much better than my brother's Samsung R71.

Well, you need a good HDMI upscaling dvd player, I'll recommend Sony's 76H, Denon's 1930 / 2930 or Pioneer's 989, so far tested with good results. Normal cheapo dvd player will output a very terrible picture on your Regza as component videos are still analog but HDMI is fully digital and is not subjected to any distortion and lesser Y/C signal delays, resulting a better picture.

The distance from my sofa to the TV cabinet where I intended to place my 42" Toshiba Regza is about 10 ft (eye-to-screen). Do you think it to too short a distance? Usually my kids also seated at the side sofa which is about 6-7 feet away. Should I consider the 37" instead?

One website quoted
"The right distance depends on the size of your TV:

For 20 to 27-inch displays, you should be able to watch comfortably from 2.5 to 5 feet away.
For 32 to 37-inch TVs, you should sit back 6 to 8 feet from the screen itself.
For 42 to 46-inch TVs, you'll need 10 to 14 feet between you and the screen.
50-inch LCD displays look best when viewed from 12 to 16 feet away."

What's your advice?

Well, there's a software for the PS2 which allows you to unlock it and output the games in 720P and 1080i resolution. I read that from the magazines but sadly not available here. PS2 is that bad, ar? I thought the Regza's built in scaler is not bad, if you say it doesn't look good on Regza, it will look worst on Samsung's R71. The Bravia handles SD materials quite well but not great, try playing classic consoles like Neo Geo CD, Saturn, PSX on a Bravia, you'll faint, the pixels were so rough and a lot of jaggies too. My standard CRT tv will be a better choice, actually, my Bravia LCD sits next to my CRT tv so I'm using both right now. Sigh ..... sounds crazy but true.

I'm just jealous that your screen is much bigger than mine, it will be great to play Gears Of War on a 42 incher. Hahaha. The visual impact is there.    Anyway, I won't upgrade so soon lah. Just bought my Bravia last year, pocket also lighter liao, if change again, I think I may need to eat maggi mee everyday. 

CRT is still good for standard definition sources no matter what and full screen sources look much better on a CRT, it looks weird on my LCD if I have to resize the screen for 4:3 materials, the black borders really looked weird but I rather watched it this way that to stretch the picture to full screen which will have a slightly distorted look. 

Well, normal HDTV panels don't come with a good video scaler, if your source have a built in video scaler, that will be much better. The Regza's video scaler is considered pretty good for handling standard definition sources as I've seen other brands costing more than Regza but doing a lousy job displaying standard definition sources. I personally don't own a Regza but comparing my uncle's Regza and my Bravia, I would say that it stacks up pretty well and it's cheaper too. The Bravia has slightly stronger constrast and deeper blacks but the Regza comes pretty close in terms of picture quality and yeah, feed it with XBOX 360 and PS3 games, it will shine. The best thing, Regza captures the motion smoothly without smearing, blurring and it doesn't suffer from motion artifacts. I guess Toshiba can probably forget about SED TV and concentrate more in their LCD business. The SED TV might not be feasible, it will probably cost more than a car when it is released as it's costly to build and manufacture.
