I called up my friend who is working at the Malaysia Communication and Multimedia Commission yesterday, to ask about the availability of digital broadcast in Malaysia (so that you can use the built-in digital tuner in your LCD TV to watch the channels).

He told me that currently we can only tune to RTM1 and RTM2, and also 2 additional digital channels provided by RTM; 1 is music video and he doesn't know the other one. These channels are still in testing phase.

So I guess the only main purpose for HDTVs now is to play nex-gen game consoles, other than watching Blu-ray movies

For me, I dun like watching the TV with the pictures stretched out to fill up the widescreen. It makes Roger Federer looks fat

How far will you be sitting in front of the TV? I was surprised to see how big the picture is in front of my 32". Got a HD Ready for myself yesterday. No complaints.

I've never compared 1080p with 720p before so can't really tell the difference. Plus, if you have eagle eyes then most probably you'll need a Full HD

Waah... mine is terbalik. Got a PS3 first, then the TV

Maybe can create a thread on the picture calibration for PS3 gaming on this TV.

Or the LA32R71B at RM2299...or R81 at RM2799. Of course these are with 0% instalment. Cash is cheaper.

There's already a separate thread for that here:
PS3 Entertainment Setup

Try checking the highest resolution the game can support. Some games only support up to 720p max. Just a thought.
