Hi guys sorry to bump in here, i've just did a price check on the Samsung LA46N71B and i've an offer for RM8699.
Will this be a good buy since this is the 1st time i'll be switching to LCD TV. I use this for ASTRO and also a lot of DVD viewing. I've heard that the bigger the screen, u'll experience quality loss & stretching. Can any1 clarify on this?
Im kinda stuck between this and a smaller SHARP 42" BX5 for RM6999.

QUOTE(john_125 @ Apr 12 2007, 12:00 PM) hey Semi3eb, Wah, that's cheap..can tell us where we can get that price/ pm me-ya? Cos i'm lookin at that model as well. Prefer the Samsung cos I like the blacks on this one. Juz get the one that fits your budget. Check out their warranty specs, see which offer more support. Stretching occurs cos Astro broadcast is still 4:3 (square shape) while LCD is widescreen 16:9. Juz set the mode on LCD to squeeze the Astro pic . Most have this mode. It will have black bars on the sides instead top and bottom, that way, the Astro pic will remain as a square. LCD more suited to DVD viewing cos it's coded at 480p and widescreen, but still slight quality loss cos LA46N71B is at native 720p resolution. Can sit further away. Problem solved!  Big problemo la like this , Astro & DVD also have problem on 46". Will these issues happen on a 42" LCD ? I think i'll brin few DVD and test on the spot. I have just sent u a PM, John. |

The Samsung LA46N71B rocks, arrived today, no problem with Astro & DVDs. Just don't understand why it keeps reverting back to the original picture setting every 1 hours  Gotta read the manual |
