Hello guys. This is the first time I post here. I just bought a set of LCD TV and mini home theater system. SAM-HTX30. I was torn between a philip 37 full HD and toshiba 37A3500E. The different is RM1k. So I decided the toshiba. I got quite good deal for R81 but I didn't choose because the panel is too glaring for my liking. Sony, too high for my budget. I didn't choose LG because I got one in my work place. I didn't like the noise. Toshiba is quite smooth and warm for my eye.

Any comments from sifu here. If you are the one who make decision, which one would you go for, philip (full HD) or Toshiba (cheaper). How about the samsung HTS?

No lah. Just want to know others opinion. The TV just arrived. Quite happy. Better than the 42" LG LCD I had in work place. Less noise, colour better, clearer. The sound of the samsung mini HTS is amazing for my standard and budget.

The TV comes with 1.0 HDMI-HDMI cable. The sales recommended me a 1.3 HDMI-HDMI cable from Swiss. Don't know what he was talking about. Is there a marked difference?

Toshiba 37A3500e to samsung mini HTS SAM-HTX30

I plugged in the HTS into the tv. Quite nice for my standard. But when I plugged in my nitendo Wii. No sound. Then only I realised with HTS, TV no sound. Off the HTS, place Wii with TV speaker. I play Wii with component cables. I noticed there are 2 cables white and orange for sound and there are 2 connection in HTS that are same colour. Can I plugged the 3 cables (green blue red) to tv and the remaining into HTS and hope to play Wii with sound from HTS?

I like my 37A3500E.
