What do you feel of the new Samsung LCD TV Series 6. It seems the review is quite good, only thing is I don’t think it comes with 5 years guarantee like the 8 Series Panasonic Plasma TV.
I realized Best Denki Stores 5 year guarantee is based on decrease in value. That’s means by the 5th year, the real guarantee value possibly only 20% (not confirmed) since each year takes a depreciation hit. Does the 5 year guarantee given by Panasonic Plasma TV gives full value guarantee yet on the 5th year; or is it also based on reduction per year agreement, do you know?
We are try to answer: just saw the Samsung LCD TV Series 6 displayed at HN in Sunway Pyramid Malaysia, looks inspiring though there’s no Astro Network supply to test out. The dynamic contrast ratio of Samsung LCD TV 40a650 is 50,000. Samsung LCD TV 40a650 native contrast ratio is expected to be 10,000 ~ 20,000 and it is definitely not exceeded 20,000.

Samsung LCD TV Series 6 are those Full HD types, not the HD Ready models priced at RM2399. Well until now, I feel that Sony LCD TV and Samsung LCD TV suit me more because their colors are brighter and vivid, also good for PS3 games and movies. The existing Sharp LCD TV models have motion problems even with 100HZ flicker free types, experienced one with Planet Earth Blu-ray and say the fault rather noticeable. Maybe the Sharp LCD TV engine doesn’t recognize when to hold in video or film mode.

Best Denki, Jusco, Harvey Norman, and all those chain stores offer NON-official extended guarantee scheme to the costumers. They subcontract the extended warranty scheme to the supposed insurance company.
