Now lately we see a lot cheap LCD TV launching...
On one side, i see a Samsung 32"LCD TV selling for RM3999.00 and another side i see another Samsung LCD TV same size selling RM4999.00
Mmmmm.. when we're buying a LCD TV.. what details should we look into before choosing one and don't end up regretting later..
Quick summary
-Supports HDMI
-True HDTV and "not" HDTV-Ready
-Viewing angle
-Supports 720p and 1080i is a must (if got 1080p better still)
-Good response time (6ms or less)

I bought Samsung LA32R7 few weeks ago. Don't see any problem so far. No complaint for my xbox360 gaming and DVD movie.

u cant go wrong if u choose the Bravia....the Aquos...or the pixel plus 2......it just depend on ur budget...but the aquos have 2 hdmi as a std.... the 42inc one supprt 1080P....so far only 1 company that have support 1080P for 32 lcd....cant remember which...coz i read on engadget....it said that its the world 1st 1080p for 32inc lcd........but for that size,u can hardly differentiatekan the i and the P.......so...1080i will suffice...

QUOTE(kei18kun @ Dec 14 2006, 04:19 PM) better buy sony then, i feel safer with this brand But Sony uses Samsung panels. So its actually a rebadged Samsung but of course Bravia engine la. Having said that, the new Samsung Dnie II is amazingly great engineering. Just one thing, if you're gonna watch astro on lcd TVs be it Sony,Toshiba or Samsung, dont have high hopes of the quality as astro is SD, unlike 360 which is HD. If u have the time, head up to Harvey Norman at Ikano power center, they have all the major branded LCD TVs side by side so you have a true experience to compare yourself. |
