hi... just wanna share my opinion..

i just bought LA32A450.. so far i'm quite happy with it.. watch astro most of the time, dvd on certain weekends..

i always tot LCD + astro is a bad combo.. last week i went to legend SS2, just to survey.. was suprised with the PQ on some of the models.. never tot can get such PQ with astro.. so i decided to get 1.. samsung, sharp, lg and sony look good.. toshiba was bad.. not many other 32LCD for me to compare.. i prefer sharp LC32D30M but i picked LA32A450 since it's cheaper by rm300.. and i don't need the woofer available on sharp, since i already have my HT.. samsung colour a bit too bright/unnatural compre to sharp, but after some adjustments, i'm quite happy with it.. black level is good... i didn't pick sony or lg due to brand preference.. i'm not using s-video cable, just normal RCA..
*
Thanks for the opinion, Siam... really appreciate

So , u Bought Samsung la... is it .. LA32A450... is it 32" Series 4 ?... Legend SS2 ? i heard about a Shop in SS2 which offer good price for LCD TV...U dont mind sharing the Price ? So, this model is one of those with the Alright Picture Quality one la? samsung, sharp, lg and sony ? will look into those.. Thanks...

Yea, bought the LA32A450.. I didn't really compare prices with other shops.. since few frens said Legend give good price, I just went there straight away.. got it for RM1850.. but i saw better prices posted in forums.. maybe you can bargain better than me..
just fyi, my normal watching distance is about 10-11 feet.. so better consider yours also.. i think it should not be less then 6-7 feet..

Thanks Siam , Will try to go there to survey & bargain ....

Anyone else with Recommendations on 32" LCD ??... Good Picture Quality for watching astro la of cos ? Thanks..

& HAPPY NEW YEAR to all the Forumer...... laugh.gif

Hi , I bought LG's LG30 Series ( Not Full HD ) & watch Astro .... , i think this model almost 1 year already....

& I am quite happy with the PQ on Astro - I think the Best Viewing distance that i tried was 8.5-10 Feet like that la, although some Channel especially SPorts Channel ,the PQ not That Good la...
But i have also tested watching Astro on Samsung , Toshiba , Pana , Sony ( Almopst the Same Range one la , almost same budget one ) .... the result is I like LG the Most , that's why i got it........

* Have Not try using S-Video Cable ( Monster ) .... i heard the Result very Good....
will definetly get one once i am used to the PQ now.... biggrin.gif

Anyone else want to share opinion on this LG30 Series ....

I just bought a S-Video Cable ( Monster ) but PQ not much improvement (Only the color slighty more vibrant) . I heard this cable may improve the PQ but depending on the LCD TV. Anyone in Penang wanna test out this cable? I can test it for FOC and offer to sell it with discount if it help improve the PQ your LCD TV.  I might sell it since not too much improvement for my setup.

Oh, Only Slight improvement only ar..... BTW LCD Model / Brand u r using ??... Just curious.... Thanks... biggrin.gif

Astro and LCD dont get along well .. in fact Full HD LCD pic is worst because its amplify the Astro poor picture quality..Plasma is better for Astro viewing

Yar... I do argree with u FOURZEE.... but just dont quite like the Glare that i Get from Plasma TV..... biggrin.gif

So far i am Quite happy with the Astro PQ on my LG LCD.......ok lar , But have to view @ least 9-10 feet away to get a better Viewing ....... Looking foward to use the S-Video Cable ( Monster ) when i Fed-up with the current PQ , some ppl claim got some slight improvement...... hahaha.... Watching DVD also ok... But will try & upgrade to a Playewr with HDMI ouput , when i am though with Normal DVD quality..... thumbup.gif

1 shop at kepong inform me astro will be good view with PHILIPS LCD tv cause "astro decoder manufactured by PHILIPS"...
is it FACT or MYTH??? rclxub.gif

Anyone have experience on this...

hahaha LOL .... biggrin.gif i dont think it's True....

BTW , My advise is to See & compare for urself all the LCD TV Quality for ASTRO , go to SHop who can show ASTRO ..... I did that & compare ... Got Myself a LG30 Series LCD TV .... been watching it for a Month.... I am quite Satisfied with the PQ... for me it is the Best among all that i have seen so far...... i compare to TOSHIBA , SAMSUNG , PANA , SHARP... almost the same Budget one la ... smile.gif

BTW , best viewing Distance is 9-10 Feet away... 11 - 12 feet better but the LCD become smaller... hahahaa.. laugh.gif
