It Show

[keltong 4]

sigh went down just now but the guy insist on selling new sets at $2,399

was really tempted but that amt for a bedroom set seems a little too high

guess i'll just stick to the 21" crt i have now

no good news, coz think think think can't bear to part with $2.4k for bedroom tv set

in the end only got a pair of earphones from sennheiser

btw, the WD 500GB ext HDD was sold out since yesterday

guess will go down to SLS and take a look next time

Haha...I thought you wanted a small LCD TV for your room, how come ended up only looking at a 42"?

Oh, iszit... coz juz nw i went to ask, they quoted 2999 for new set but no free gift..... 2399 for display set & they oso throw in a dvd player (DV-400) & free a HDMI cable... did ask a few saleperson though... hmm~ set

so did u went down juz nw @ ask?

ya, i agree, it "expensive" to buy and put in bedroom.... DA CAI XIAO YONG...

hmm maybe different salesperson different price?

i asked at the pioneer booth, the guy die die don't want to quote me display set

if he had offered me the display set with FOC dvd player + cable think i would have grabbed.

it's the though of still having to get player etc that deters me

Yeh the crowds are scary this evening.. while on the escalator it stop suddenly...everyone said is a safety device kick in ..must be overloaded

Managed to get Maxtor OneTouch 4 Plus 500GB for $219... a little more exp than WD but comes with backup stuffs.

So what kind of computer stuff did you get? I was there till 9:30pm (after official close time) and got really good prices & freebies during the last hour.

Really need a iMac ever since my motherboard failure. Understand a new iMac update is due anytime soon (most expect next Tuesday)..so hoping i can change to the new spec. Yes, i also prefer the old white color but is a bit bulky compare to the new one and future ones.

So which got a pair of earphones from sennheiser model did you get. I got the noice cancellation travel type (model PXC 250) and got a free PC130 headset for PC.

Can always wait for next show for better price on the Kuro

when i was there yesterday it wasn't as crowed as saturday

but still quite a lot of pple and we have people who are pushing strollers 8|

in the end all i got from the show was the sennheiser earphone, the HD497

guess i'll use my ipod as my backup until my data exceeds 80GB

seems like there's a lot of issue with the new OS

and other teething problems with all the new products, including the MBA

as for the kuro, i'll only go for those produced before 07 Mar coz heard that pioneer stopped producing the panel after this date :dunno:

Haha...I thought you wanted a small LCD TV for your room, how come ended up only looking at a 42"?

had wanted to go for LCD, but realise i really really bias loh

i look at the LCD and feel that i'd most prob not watch at all coz i really hated the 'artificial' look of LCD images

guess i'll stick to CRT until i've got money for a plasma, or even the OLED

This is very subjective, all has it's pros and cons...I try to be objective, but will still be a little bias This is more like my own thoughts on the matter and my own research, not any official view.

LCD - No reflection, color not as rich, no burn in problem

Plasma - Lots of reflection due to glass surface, rich in color, burn in problem (but new tech shd address this)

Full HD - Super clear image, excellent if you intend to get a bluray player, for 40" and above only, but heard that 50" and above will make more different (cannot verify). Future proof. True 1080p.

HD Ready - Give very clear image, good enough for current HD5 playback. Cheap. Some model can upscale when playing bluray dvd but will not be as good as true (full) HD.

I believe currently dealers are beginning to dump 32" with that fast becoming bedroom size. Living room are now dominated more by 37" and above LCD/Plasma. This is my own view only with no research.

I set out wanting to buy FULL HD , but discussed with my wife and feels that we may not need it. We do not own a bluray player and may not own one in the near future. We do not own a PS3 nor a XBOX 360 with HD drive. Current HD5 is not broadcast in FULL HD. I tested on Starhub HD channel and HD-ready is good enough for me. Even though I wish I have them.

I choose Sony because I own a Sony S series 32" Bravia and love the color. I have seems so many and decided that I like Sony the best, so when the different brands are about the same price, I choose Sony (and it's the same S series again).

I felt paying $1799 for a 42" HD ready TV is reasonable, didn't want to spend the extra 1K for full HD.

I'm sure many will disagree with my view, but this is why I end up with another S series.

On the side thought, nice to have 2 same series TV, like a combo set.
