yup, they're selling for RM3.5k (the price I got was 2 weeks before and it might has changed)...Legend is now selling Sony Bravia KLV-32V300A for RM2,750 and they are selling Bravia KLV-32D300A for RM3.6k...After reading a review on this TV ( http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/Sony-KDL32D3000/ )...I might go for this one...

Tot...we go together this mth end and both buy the 32D300..maybe can get better discount...okeh?

how much is the D now?

@lapaq...I've made my decision that I'm going for bigger LCD i.e 40", so KLV-40D300A (Legend is selling at RM6.4K, Sony is selling at RM7k) is now on my radar and have to wait another 2 months (as I'm short RM2k plus).

@rx, like I posted before that Legend is selling KLV-32D300A at RM3.6k and it's negotiable, last time ed was offered RM3.4k when he was buying his KLV-32V300A there.

IF that's the case then I beli dulu lah...kenot wait another two mth....kenot tahan already...want to put the tv in my bedroom so can play while on my bed....

Pity dun have 37D300 if not I'm buying that one...40" is too much for me.

uik... tot, going bigger?

hehehhe..I'm afraid that 32" will be too small if I put it at my living hall so that's why I have to get a 40" as the D series doesn't have 37" (only S series has that size).

@lapaq, just go ahead...I'm also actually can't tahan but must be strong....amazon.com is selling KDL-40XBR4 (same model for KLV-40X300A here) for USD2000 and the shipping cost from US to Malaysia is around USD666 so the total price after conversion roughly is about RM8,531. Sony is selling it at RM15k.....that's about RM6,468 difference....the tv is multi voltage, i.e 110V-240V so don't need any stepdown voltage converter....very tempting...

Sony Bravia is the best

it justify the whopping ass price tag

Tax free?

nope..not yet..might be getting Pana TH37PX80

Is it really safe to purchase the TV via Amazon? what if we get the 40D3000 from there? cheaper? Tax wise...okeh or not?

Pana TH37PX80, I can't find any review laa...how does it stack to other brands and what's the price?

Got another sale for KDL-40XBR4 at bhphoto...here's the price breakdown

KDL-40XBR4 = $1,895 = RM6,096 (30% tax = RM1,829)

Shipping (from USA to Malaysia) = $455.20 = RM1,456

Total price without tax = RM7,552

Total price inclusive 30% tax = RM9,381

*price conversion based on $1 = RM3.2

Even after 30% tax, the price for 40" Bravia X is still way much cheaper than buying it here, (RM15,000 - RM9381 = RM5619) and that's a huge savings.

@lapaq, if your main priority is watching HD movies than playing game (70%-80% watching movies / 30%-20% playing games) then get a plasma otherwise get a LCD tv. Panasonic TH42PX80 review.

cool...i'm waiting for my lcd to come. since its more for games, should be ok la. for astro just bite the bullet

can i ask, if use sony KLV32V300A to play ps3, will it be projected in 720p OR 1080i?

thanks for the answers in advance.

If you use HDMI cable, KLV-32V300A can accept 1080p video signal and downscale it back to the native resolution i.e 1366 x 768. In other words, you can set your PS3 up to 1080p with KLV-32V300A.

So bro tot, is there anyone that you know managed to order lcd/plasma online to Malaysia? As you mention the price online even after tax and shipment is really tempting.

@ ICDP, you can do it yourself. Just go to bphotovideo.com and make the order there and they'll send it to you. One thing for you to really consider before buying things from US, there'll be no warranty from SONY Malaysia. If you really want to take this risk then go ahead.

Another thing to consider is, all US tvs only support NTSC color system so if you're planning to watch Astro then forget about it as ASTRO is transmitting PAL color system. All tvs sold here are multi system i.e NTSC 3.58, PAL, SECAM / (AV In) NTSC 4.43, PAL 60

40 X 300a, so ex meh? i tot u buy outside also abt 10k?

The Legend Electrical Center is at SS2, PJ.

@rx, the cheapest you can get KLV-40X300A here in KL is around RM13k. So buying it from US is definitely cheaper.
