aiyo... so many problems with new LCD/Plasma displays ker?? I'm leaning towards PY800 now.. is this a reliable choice?

hi guys.. actually i wanna buy 1xHarmony & 1xYamaha soundbar. Questions :

1) Price & where do they sell these?
2) For Yamaha Soundbar, what's the max LCD/Plasma panel that they support (so they look like one piece

thanks dudes..

ooh... thanx my brother penangkia. sounds like it's a good fit for 42" display in future master bedroom... free sub some more

AVE sales & services?? must keep an eye out next time i'm there... only know 'soundjoy' there

my 2 cents, yamaha soundbar isn't half bad provided u have a good sub to pair with it....

A good 5.1 system (equivalent std to the yamaha soundbar) is great for std sized room or living room.... gives better surround sound effect.

7.1 is required when u have a longer room to provide ideal surround sound. if room too small, going to be noisy...

First of all, BD & True HD doesn't mean 7.1
Most BDs today only support 5.1
7.1 is designed for longer/deeper dedicated room, not practical in std square type living room.

samsung 6 series vs py800.... which is better?? gaming & movies

will do... appreciate ur comment. thanx bro

anyone has any idea how much a 50" Pioneer Kuro 1080p Plasma costs these days? thanks..

thanks... saw the price was <3k Pound sterling in UK (from whathifi)... guess price is well exaggerated in M'sia hence fell out of budget too bad... back to sammy/panny

really? below 20k? but what do u mean will be? thought it was launched already?

i heard somewhere they target to sell kuro krp500A at RM26k... so i had to forget plasma & revert to sammy/sony LCD (A850 / W400)

but these LCDs aren't that bad la...

samsung series 9 (A950) ?

too bad the panel is a little thick... wished they wouldn've made it the slim size of 8 series...

just ordered 52A"850 (RM9,770) for living room & 40"A650 (RM4,990) for bedroom (wanted 46" A650 but out of stock d)

decided on Samsung after contemplating Sony & Sharp LCD & Panny PY850... hopefully no regrets.

reason i went for A850 was 1) it's ultra slim (almost 1/4 of A950 thickness) & 2) my living room is all white & black so needed a "touch of color"

As for bedroom, I still prefered 100hz tv but didn't want too expensive wan so got the A650 the krystal red also adds some color to my white bedroom as well..

if the tv is full HD, it's capable to display 1080p (1920 x 1080) but only if it's fed with true 1080p source i.e. bluray for now. Of coz u can get a AVR / DVD player that can upscale a source to 1080p but it'll never be as good as original 1080p source i.e bluray.

if tv is HD ready, only able to display 1080i resolution or 1024 x 768...

since $$ is no object u should get the best of the best which is the Pioneer Plasma Kuro KRP-500A that has just been launced this mth in M'sia. It's a full HD plasma display and of coz well known for it's capability to produce excellent deep blacks. Not sure about the price for 42" unit but it's around RM26k++ for a 50" unit

ya.. it was actually on my list of things to get for christmas till the price was confirmed to be too high for me

I guess the next best thing to the pioneers would be the Panasonic PY850H, price for 50" was around RM12k++ last I checked so should be considerably lower for the size ur looking for...

So, go check these out bro.... have fun.

i was... until i found out the price was RM27k for KRP-500A
So i placed orders from one of the pg forummers for A850 52" for living & A650 40" for bedroom

hope they're good... price was definitely very good though.. got both tvs for <RM15k still almost half the price of KRP-500A

really??
i really heard from someone inside the forum that it was RM26,999...... wonder which is the error. Anyways, what's done is done..
