Sp4wn Turbocharged October 7, 2014 Share October 7, 2014 Please read my post #24. Avoid Sharp please. My Sharp 52" 3D LED TV panel spoil in just 1 year and 10 months. And I don';t even use the TV heavily. dunno le, i use a sharp 60" LED for more than a year and my dad has been using sharp (same tv for 6 years, he always kpkb my mum wont let him change tv till this one conks out). so far, they are the cheapest and willing to throw in the most stuff. i dont need so high end, can watch tv can already. (incidentally, i have a mac mini hooked up to my tv with an app called "tvshowsapp" .. google it if you want to. basically, can auto subscribe and download tv shows. quite convenient. i also use the mac for browsing the internet on my tv. can use ipad or iphone as the remote and input [look for an app called rowmote professional] ) ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lala81 Hypersonic October 7, 2014 Share October 7, 2014 I don't know why... but Sharp to me always looked less "sharp" than the others... also lots of ghosting. Seems like a slow panel. And they've had issues with quality. So many bad news about Sharp. Sharp tvs to me are dam lousy at upscaling especially SD broadcasts. In japan, many TVs are sharp. And it's really clear. cos they broadcast in 1080p there. Anyway panel only 1 yr warranty. Stay away from sharp. Especially when everyone else is offering 2-3 yrs all in warranty.

ins1dious Turbocharged October 7, 2014 Share October 7, 2014 TV must be as big as possible. My 42 bought 5 years ago seems too small to me. Will get a 60 inches one when the current one conk out. But I think it is my eyesight failing me.😳 Mine is 60" Sony 3D TV. Sony promo last year they absorbed the GST, gave me extra 4 glasses (so total 6 active glasses), plus bracket, a 32GB Xperia Tablet Z, a $100 Takashimaya voucher and 3 years warranty for TV. I also had $400 Harvey Norman vouchers converted from my credit card points. So ended up paying $1800 only. After selling the Tablet Z for $400... total damage is about $1400 for a 60" 3D Smart TV... ok... its only an R series and not even W... let alone X.... still look good on my wall I think... but must buy 80" next time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actan72 5th Gear October 7, 2014 Share October 7, 2014 I have a Sony which serve me well and a little in to it's 2nd year of service , the screen had some problems so we called Sony to come have a look. What was to follow was the most ridiclous thing I had ever heard "Sir , we will have to put in an order for the screen and the part will take 1 year to arrive". I'll never buy another Sony again. I have the same experience as you... blue screen after 3 years.... never buy sony again... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opel17 6th Gear October 7, 2014 Share October 7, 2014 Hahaha. Last time the 3K damn BIG. Can buy PROJECTOR TV. hahaha. That why last time those people who can buy projector TV are damn big [loaded]. My bedroom Samsung 32" LCD is not even FHD, only 720. Used for so many years already, refused to spoil. Cannot upgrade to new one.. Suggestion : turn off the TV mains power. Use a dripping wet cloth to clean the TV, especially those ventilation slots at the top. You will have a chance to upgrade to new TV. Seriously I am joking , so don't take up my suggestion. In this case, @kobayashigt Congratulations for the opportunity to upgrade TV . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
