[Samsung LCD TV]

It was a rather fruitful Sat. Mum and I went down to Thomson to bring some incense paper to my uncle. Also we intended to look at lcd tvs @ best denki and later to Courts and Gaincity. Best Denki is having some Samsung promo and I was quite impressed by the clarity n colors displayed by the Samsung models. I was very keen on getting a Sharp Aquos but those Sharp models dun display impressive pics..anyway they were simply showing TV signals, how good can they get? But then there were not any promotions on Sharp models..so the prices not too 'good' I initially thot 26-27" is too small but in actual fact it is not as small as I thought. In fact it is almost the same as a 29"CRT since the viewable area of a 29" CRT is 27-28" only. I was quite tempted by a slightly older 27" Samsung model. The only thing I dun like abt Samsung models are all come with 1 X HDMI port..well some models like Sharp comes with 2.

Anyway we went down to Courts @ AMK to look ard. We were shocked to see tthe same model which is selling @2399 in Best Denki to be selling at $1999 (with a so called tv 'trade-in', in other words. it is just on paper only) The smaller model is selling at $200 less. The 32" model comes with the same 'free' gifts (either xbox360 or a home theatre system) My mum was not very keen on having the freebies...and the price tag of $1999 does not very appealing too..so the sales person there introduced us another model which is slightly 'older' cos it was produced in the earlier half of 2006. What was impressive was it has wide color gamut which is said to be able to produce more natural looking colors, as demo by them. And it won a EISA award for pic quality this yr. AND they are limited to only 5 sets per store and 1 was sold already.

THEN my mum and I went all the way to gaincity @AMK Industrial Park 2 hoping to get a better price,somehow i knew that the price offered @ Courts was quite hard to get cos that model with WCG is considered a higher end model. @ gaincity there are nothing much and the prices were not as good as I expected...so we decided to go back to Courts to buy that model. The salesman saw us coming back and shld know we wld be making a purchase..so we selected that 32" model with WCG (wide color gamut) and it was delivered to us the next day! I need some time to adjust to viewing tv on a 16:9 (widescreen) format, haha..e sound is ok..pic quality is not bad. Sad thing is I dun have a HD setup box, the closest thing will be a PS3? which I dun think I will get until 1-2 yrs later.

I do hope I will get selected for HD Trial, haaha.
