hey guys, i know you've seen these questions popu-p like a gazillion times here smile.gif

but anyways, its time for me to splurge on an LCD TV. budget is very limited (max RM3500) so no 1080p native res sets. currently narrowed down to these 3 which are all 37" models:

LG 37LC7R - http://asia.cnet.com/reviews/home_av/tvs/0...0643422p,00.htm
toshiba 37AV500E/37A3500E (dunno whats the difference? only the 37A3500E is listed in toshibas website)
sharp LC37PX5M

i know these are considered obsolete models that are being phased out but prices are really tumbling down now and they're easier on my wallet.

right now im eyeing the LG as i saw it being demoed in best denki running blu-ray few weeks back. PQ is quite good and i know it uses S-IPS panel (some say it has faroudja upscaling, not too sure), but im unsure of LG warranty, also i havent seen both the sharp and toshiba models running BR before so i cant do a direct comparison.

also, i know u guys are big supporters of panasonic biggrin.gif anyone care to share your opinion on the 37LX80M? whats the response time for this btw?

appreciate your feedback, thanx in advance notworthy.gif

just to point out that 37AV500E is not being phased out/old model. It's just been launched 2 months back to replace 37A3500E and similarly priced RM3100-RM3250. It has better contrast ratio compared to A3500E. I have compared with LG 37" LCD, I would say 37AV500E performs better. If you're eyeing for 42", personally I'll go for plasma unless you're gonna watch ur TV from a distance more than 10feet. Take your time, don't empty ur wallet too soon.. thumbup.gif

is it really true the 37AV500E is a newer model? i checked the specs (response time) and its even lower than its predecessor, thats kinda weird.

well i will be using it for gaming as well and i heard that plasmas are not so suitable for that due to the possibility of burn-in.

hehe, right now my budget only permits me to survey the 37" range, also my good ole 29" crt tv kaput already so i guess im ready to splurge at the moment cool.gif
