Samsung 32A650 is only RM2,260, which is a series higher than 32A550. Rich colour, nice design, but additional RM390, you get a Pana 37". Choice is yours, bro.

at the size panels you are looking at, i would only recommend 1080p if you are going to hook up a computer to the TV...

Else for a 32" HD-Ready is plenty enough unless u plan your viewing at <2 foot distances.

Was previously a happy user of a 32" Sony V-Series Bravia (HD Ready)

Am currently using a 37" Sharp Aqous (Full-HD) and have a PS3/PC/DVico/DVD/Astro hooked up (all via an Onkyo Receiver)

How is the sharp? The A66 just launch in malaysia. seem to ne nice and picture are better then pana i think.

what do you guys think pana is only 200 more then the sharp but sharp 32" pana is 37"

Any feed back for this two model? thanks

so far dynamic contrast on shar is 50k and pana is 10k and pana is ips panel

FYI my TV is the Sharp Aqous LC37A65M

i believe its the predecessor to the 66...

i got it for <3500 around December if i'm not mistaken...
I'm happy with it...

Finally purchase the Panasonic LCD, compared the lcd no doubt sharp look better, the design of sharp is nice and the picture are more brilliant then pana. but the size 32" at RM2500 and pana 37" at RM2700 i choose panasonic. compared side by side for the size, damm its so big diffrent. so end of the day i choose pana for the value and i think its fine although the appeareance look dull and not fasionable. more to update later

I think you made the right choice. Pana is just as good if not better than Sharp.

Congratulations!
Take some pics to show us

im eyeing Panasonic 37" Full Hd VIERA TX-37LZ80MK too, spend sometime use proper tuning devices im sure it helps produce nice quality on par with the sharp u see.

my votes go for panasonic

i think go ahead and purchase it it think for rm2650 is worthy, i did check the 40" and above is out of my range.

anyone have good setting for this lcd?

Already Purchased the panasonic

mind posting some pictures? tested it kau kau? goit tune it or use stock setting?

Since i have no rack and player i am using laptop to connect with hgmi and desktop with pc input.
unfortunately pc input cannot support 1920p, no idea how to do. if change gc reso to 1920 picture will not come out. 1280v1024 and 1366v768 is supported only. but in hdmi with laptop i can power up 1080p. so the pc soon will get hdmi gc. so far using stock setting, didnt got the chance to play with it yet.

Do u mean ur LCD Monitor cannot go up to 1920p? Or else dun understand wat u mean......

sorry,
Laptop connect to Pana Lcd via hdmi can output 1920v1080
desktop connect to pana lcd via vga can output up to only 1280v1024 tried and wont go any higher or 1366v768 only(didnt try this one)
any one know the issue? or i need hdmi to output to 1920v1080? tyty

yes that is correct

assuming your gfx card has DVI and no HDMI output...
you need to buy a cable that has DVI->HDMI (or a HDMI cable and a HDMI/DVI converter for one end)...

u wont be sorry. VGA images look like ass compared to DVI/HDMI connections

okie, guess i will get ati4350 or ati4650 with native hdmi to connect to the lcd then.

the advantage of having hdmi is that you can stream video and audio as well in one single cable. if u plan to have the hdmi connected to the TV just for display purposes and want to have the sound via something else (speakers or a amp/reciever) then u are fine just using a DVI->HDMI cable.

my current set up:
PC->TV (Graphics Card, DVI-to-HDMI cable)
PC->Receiver (Sound Card, RCA or Optical cable)

You don't need GC with native HDMI. Just either get a DVI to HDMI adapter or DVI to HDMI cable.

yup DVI to HDMI adapter is enough..... anyway some of the older GC also comes with the adapter in the package, e.g. HD3870
