bro ryansia,

keep me updated on your purchase. I also intend to get a LCD tv myself.

I'm already thinking 42" LCD Bravia Type X , but bit expensive 15000, maybe if it reach 12000 i will buy it

Congrats bro. Just don't let ur wife know about the making love part....women can never understand men and their electronic toys...ha-ha...

where did u brought it?

Lots of ppl have bad impression with Sharp 32BX due to its taiwanese panel. But after 3 months of intensive testing and calibrating, i am happy to say that its actually not bad depends on its source. The factory setting will have certain amount of red push so u may want to fine tune it in the advance setting. I tried with 1080P WMV, D9,D5, all kinds of media files and normal tv broadcast, here is what i think:

1) 1080P WMV- Superb! At least to my eye. But 1080P is too new for me so i really dont know how good it can be. The Magic Of Flight_1080.wmv downloded from Microsoft is simply awesome and there is no grain what so ever when u stare at the bright blue sky. And the smoke trail of the plane do not exibite any color patch as well.

2) D9- D9 looks fanstastic even without any upscale, with ffdshow, it is even better.

3) D5- Depends on the quality of the encoding, some "ahem" can look very grainy. But if its a re-code from D9, then i really cant tell the difference between the 2.

4) Media files- RMVB looks ok after upscale with ffdshow, but some times its may looks a bit too patchy and the grey scale is less than adequate, but this is the nature of RMVB and its more obvious when play on LCD. High bitrate AVI and other format looks good too.

5) Tv broadcast- This is the only thing that i am not sure. I got very bad picture quality on all channel except Channel 8 and TV3. I dont know if its because of my signal coming out from the wall antenna socket is bad, or its just the tv problem. Too bad i dont have a CRT with me, but i do know that LCD suffer from PQ when playing back analoge tv broadcast, but i just dont know how bad it could be.

Overall, i think Sharp 32BX6 is a good buy. Off course it cant compite with other hi-end model like Sharp GA/G7 series, Sony V/X series, and Samsung M/F series. But for those model within the same price range, its 1 of the best.

And i dont understand why Sharp keep using back the same "Violin" demo disc, that demo is just yellow yellow and full of yellow color. I bet 10 ppl who stand in front of Sharp will not give it a second look when they saw the demo nest to a Sony/Samsung. Just my 2 cents.

So yours is 32" or 37" and how much u get it for?

Just bought the LG 37" LCD TV, the screen is too bright until i can see the actor 's face when he is standing under the sun. Talk to the saleman, he told me asean version is brighter than the europe batch now trying to call the LG people to request changing the Engine inside.   

1 thing i notice is the LCD not clear when watching the Astro program and this monday playing a pirated DVD Children chinese new year movie, the output is s***, don't know is the DVD problem or my LCD problem. can't see the face of the children singer at all. 

bout sitting distance i sit about 15 feet away, what size wud be best?

Do u have the password? it need the password to access

Googleing for the service menu, it turns there're two main ways to access it in LG LCD TVs. The first one is pressing Menu in the remote for about 5 seconds until the screen asks for a 4 digit password. None of the passwords I gathered worked. Why I'm explaining this? Because this method interferes with the one that works:

Press Menu on both the remote and the TV (the standard menu will appear) for about 4/5 seconds and, as soon as you see the standard menu dissappear, stop pressing the keys, else the service menu will be there only for a split second, because the TV will ask now for a password.

wah... Got bonus ah.. when want to belanja makan?? my Beerfest still not able to start since every1 busy.. busy.

I go cheap option, buy 22in Acer LCD, hook up lcd bracket in the room and use computer to output. 1680x1050 widescreen. All for Rm1380 from lowyat.

Cheap cheap and quality is good also. (superb actually)

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.

You can always get a HDMI video selector box for your baby. Frankly, dual HDMI ports won't be enough in the near future when more and more devices are using HDMI, you need at least two for a Blu-Ray and HD-DVD player. Not forgetting, your HDMI dvd player (most people including myself has that), HD camcorder, XBOX 360, PS3, etc. I guess, having 5 HDMI inputs or more will be sufficient enough for our needs.

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.

They should be more generous lah, if a pc can have 6 to 8 USB ports, why not a LCD with 6 HDMI inputs?
