how far is your TV from the viewing point?

My tv will be abt 5m away from where I will be sitting so it's quite far. Now I am having my 42" in my bedroom and I am sitting only 2m away. So getting 60" but sitting 5m away seem very small leh. :(

heee i will also be buying a 55 inch one LED TV!! hee..

my mum bought herself a 40 inch in her 3 room flat living room!! and she loves it!

Your mum also know how to enjoy big tv. So both of us have at least 55" tv with big fridge and washing machine. Haha...

i tried the TV viewing distance calculator... the max. recommended viewing distance for 42" TV is 14.5 feet, so for now maybe you can push your sofa 2 feet forward until you get a big TV :lol: (5m = 16.4 ft)

55" TV can go up till 5.8m, while 60" is 6.3m.

Hmmm.... The tv is in my bedroom leh... Cannot push my bed forward leh... That's why I want a big tv. Now I think 2m away for 42" is small, how to watch with 60" with 5m away?? Hmmmm....

Cutiecat, I've read quite afew comments on internet, and had confirmed to get the air vent type (alot of feedback and opinions favour the air vent type)...

IMHO, you can place your Air dryer n washer at your service yard, this way, the hot air can escape ... Since you have the space there, you might as well make use of it :) .... wife n me don't have silk clothes so far... so the air dryer for us... haha :)

I went to mega Discount store @ Kallang 2 days ago, there's a Bosch dryer (6KG) going at $699... I think quite cheap, have not check out other shops, but will update you again on the dryers...

hi kobelala

we got alot of appliances from mega too. but before confirming with them, best to check out prices at other shops, esp goh ah bee and everjoint, then use these to press them down!

as for dryer, heard that condenser one does not work as well as air vent type? anyway, we got one more as a standby, esp good in rainy weather like now!

Then, we wanted to get the Dryer already, but the salesman very pushy, kept asking us to get a washer with the "BRANDT" or "BRUNDT" branding... saying it is Made in Poland, very good... .... I have not done any research on the brand , so I told the salesman I'll go back to him.... but he still keep insisting us to place a deposit to "log in the price" or "lock the price"... ... we then became not comfortable after that, and did not get anything, but will check on price of the Bosch dryer and go back to them again. hahaha, he want to do my biz also very difficult... :o

ha ha, we went through this at mega too. at first, wanted electrolux washer and dryer, but electrolux dn't have manual type (I am very old school of thought n don't like and don't know how to use too much electronic kind of gadget at home) .. so salesman highly rec brandt. All specs fit what we are looking for, but still we said we go for coffee and think about it. then we went round the other shops to get feedback on that brand, finally convinced ourselves it's ok, and went ahead, so now we own brandt washer as well as dryer. even our hob and hood also brandt. The only electrolux things at home now is the oven .. so funny .. bc that's the original brand we were looking at!

anyway, forget about the lock the price gimmick - have learnt my lesson for aircon purchase!

hahahaha strangely for me, i got some other stuff from Mega but the Brandt washer was actually purchased from Audio House... no one in Mega recommended Brandt to me... maybe becos they look at my face and know that i already know the brand~ :lol:

heard before that the electronic type not so good cos the control board spoils very easily. Manual one more lasting... so i also got the manual type like you :D (we have the same washer rite?? just different size only...)

Sis May, if you going for 60, I suggest u up your stakes to 62 ~ 65, about the same price since you've jumpped to the "6" series :)

Yo bro , how ? U visit closet Design ? How u find them

Bro Supersimon, yes I went, wife like the system so much, we sign up for the aluminum pole system :) the complete set should be under 3k... hmmm, ok la, cheaper than building a WIW :)
