We went to Carrefour to see the various models and sizes etc. And it was there , we decided we wanted the 37'' TV and both agreed Sharp is the brand. At first i was quite into Samsung brand but i noe my mum is only happy with Sharp. Looking at both the brands whatever my eye can see is really sama sama for both. Since we are really not into blue ray HD movies and SG now only has HD5 channel and we dun have SCV box, there is no need for full HD TV. So it was quite confirmed we wanted
a) Sharp Brand -- according to salesman, only sharp has panel made in Japan. All other panels are made elsewhere. As you noe, mums quite typical when they hear.. JAPAN they will WOW very good one.. Then the person said the other parts is manufactured in other countries..hahah
b) 37'' one --- cos our existing is 33'' traditional squarish. The new 32'' LCD really looks very small to us...can't bare to pay for that size.
There were good offers like very big ones that can take in trade in of existing TV but then ..so big also cannot display in my small living room. So i guess next time ba. maybe 10 years later. ( Note: my current spoiled tv life-span was 10 years)
After getting some details, we went to the harvey norman next to carrefour.. ok it sucks...sales person is horrible the way he describe things... in 3 mins we left the shop. And then we proceed to the bigger harvey norman at millenium walk. I'm quite into buying things from there because of the 5-year warranty. (1 for 1 exchange when ur appliance is beyond repair)
True enuf, my 'long' trip to Harvey was not wasted. The exact same model we see was flagged at a price $300 less than what was listed in carrefour, plus there was $100 NTUC voucher for redemption and the standard free delivery. Sales person was also quite good providing answers to questions i asked.
We also went to watch HD channel 5 there and realised no matter what brand / size u see.. Its still the same!! Its never crystal clear like those demo sets. Those crystel clear are actually showing HD movies so of course its very clear la.. And different models will show different clips, like some display flowers very nicely, some display sky la, animals la etc etc. All clips are shown to tune to whats best displayed on them. So when u watch a full wall of 10+ different size and brand showing same channel , u can really see that our normal TV channels are not so fantastic clear now.. maybe in near future ba.
Satisfied with the package, with 5 years warranty. This is what i bought.
