my lcd tv.. part 2..

heh.. my lcd tv has arrived on thursday.. yeah..!! n quickly i connected it to my htpc to test the so called high definition pics n vids.. the delivery man was astonished as i'm connecting a pc to the lcd tv and using a remote to control the pc.. the results were a bit frustating though due to connection cable (using s-video to rca convertor) not sending digital signals and the vids were a bit noisy..
i didnt check out the audio from the tv as i paired it with my 2.1 speakers (it should have been 5.1) and i got myself a mini home theatre.. it'll work for now..
on friday when i woke up late (too lazy to go to work that day), my wife told me that oyen (our cat) was trying to stand on top of the lcd unit.. huh.. she ran quickly to save it (the tv, not the cat).. thank you kecheq..
we went to low yatt that evening to buy a dvi to hdmi cable as i was hoping the vids quality would be better.. i was expecting that the cable would cost me more than rm100.. i saw a unit of that cable monster** brand the carries the tag of rm300+ from one of the shop there.. *gulp* but lucky for me as i check out the other store (all it hypermarket) and found out that one of the x-students of the university i work for currently works there and i ask him wether they got the cable that i want.. n i got it for rm75 (the actual price was rm89 as he gave me a discount using his name).. yeay..
and the results was good.. i got higher definitions vids but i had one more problem.. the correct resolution.. i tried out all widescreen resolution that the tv can support but nothing satisfies me.. a quick search on the web still doesnt help much..
currently, i'm 80% satisfied with my new toy.. but, whatever it is, i still thank God for it..

my lcd tv..

at last.. i bought myself an LCD TV.. yeay.. i went to buy the Samsung LA32S71BX (Sonoma) from one of the well known superstore in Malaysia after i could not hold myself anymore.. after doing my homeworks about all the details, rankings, FAQs etc, i decided to buy it today.. i was thinking of buying the Samsung LA32R71B (Bordeux) actually for its phisycal sleekness and advance features, but i just found out that samsung has seized to produce that model already.. *sigh* they have replace it with another Bordeux LA32R81B which comes with higher specs and features..
about my lcd specs..?? google it.. heh.. and make sure u search it at Samsung Malaysia's website as it is differs model name from other region.. AFAIK laa.. heh..
i spent last two weeks comparing and reading reviews on lcds on the net.. n i got tonnes of brochures that i collected from different electronic shops that i went to survey the current price.. actually, the review says that currently, Sony Bravia lcd is on the top ranking for lcd.. in terms of performance, quality n such.. but, as most of u already knows, in term of price, sony is also unbeatable.. heh.. sorry sony.. i love your products, but i hate your price..i used to be a sony fan with my discmans, mini disc players ( i got 3 of them n i dont know where they are now), headphones (even bought myself the earliest model of sony noise cancelling headphones that cost me rm499) n such.. but it was during the 90s.. heh.. but now, i have to choose samsung to fulfill my home theatre desire..
next thing on the list.. new home furnishing.. to bribe my wife as she gave me the opportunity to fill my lust for electronics.. we want to try the 'simplicity' concept.. hmmmmmm..
my lcd due to arrive at my home on this thursday 26th april.. hmm.. my cousin's birthday.. lol.. n i will get a new present for myself.. yeay..
3 days to go..

update..

it's been a while since i last update this blog.. heh.. i have been really busy with real life and a bit lazy to update..
nothing much to tell.. i'm trying to be active again in sports as i have not been able to involve much in sports as i used to be.. the university i work for is trying to organize a soccer team for the city campus.. and maybe i got my name as the first goalkeeper for this team.. maybe.. heh.. it all depends on another game tomorrow night at some stadium in UPM.. i think.. *sigh*
and currently i'm trying to organize a futsal tournament within the city campus staffs.. it will be held on the first week of may.. looks like i'm the only one struggling to make sure the event goes on smoothly as i'm the only one running around the 31 floors of the university building inviting the staffs here to join the tournament.. *sigh*
about my htpc project.. still calculating of buying an LCD TV for myself.. heh.. the tight budget still tormenting me and forcing me to hold myself from buying one in the near future.. *sigh* i've bought a tv tuner tough (a cheap one.. pinnacle brand for RM139 instead of hauppauge mce tuner for RM499) and luckily MCE can display the broadcasted tv in malaysia.. after a few sweats of tweaking due to uncompatible tuner in MCE..
owh.. something funny happens last friday.. as i was preparing myself to go home after work, i was triggered to print out the Sudoku of the day from www.miniclip.com as i love to solve it during my time in the LRT.. as i hit the print button, my printers' paper feeder was rolling to print my sudoku and suddenly it was jammed.. i was surprised as i'm sure it has not giving my any problem since i got it.. while i was trying to pull the jammed paper out of the printer, something sticked at the paper.. to my surprise there was a dead lizard (cicak)..!! upper part of its body (the front leg and skin) were torn off due to the roller.. ugh.. i was thinking of taking a picture of the incident but then again, it's too gore.. heh.. and i still trying to print out the sudoku but the printer is still jammed.. i think to myself, maybe the front leg of the cicak is still stucked at the roller..
when i reached my office this morning, i tried to print out as i'm sure the leg has been harden already.. heh.. and i was right.. the printed paper is out with some piece of the cicaks' skin on it..
that's all for now.. wish me luck for tomorrow night.. hopefully i wont let any goals pass through me tomorrow.. *crossing fingers*
