Looking for Full HD TV

Jamess — Mon, 23 Jul 2012 09:49:37 +0800

Hi guys. I would first like to thank you for layaning this kind of thread, haha.
Your help would be useful for me to decide which TV to get.

My budget is around RM2000. Some have said Plasmas are generally better than LCD tvs for home use. I don't really like the bulky size (thinkness) of the Plasma TVs plus I'll be having it in my room. Moreover, Full HD Plasma TVs don't come cheap. I am looking for a Full HD TV because I intent to use the TV for gaming purpose (PS3).

Like mentioned earlier, the TV will be placed in my room and I figured 40inch would be perfect tho most would recommend 32 inch. The model I am currently interested in is Sony's EX653 but then I thought I really don't neeed Internet TV since I would hook it up with my laptop. I'm still not comfortable with Korean brands such as Samsung or LG despite the fact they can be better than their Japanese counterparts. I can still accept them if the feedback is really good but we shall see. That pretty much leave me to a few brands only. Sharp, Sony, Toshiba or Panasonic. I hope I could garner enough advises from all you after giving the short description of what I basically need.

Thank you again.

Kancil Windows Tint

Jamess — Sun, 12 Sep 2010 13:58:46 +0800

Hello! I drive the old Perodua Kancil, it's about 10 years old already.

The recent weather is driving my crazy, it has been raining la but I'm sure you people know Malaysia's crazy weather. 33 Celcius is really very hot.

On a hot day, it won't cool even with the air-cond switched to 2 because my car isn't tinted. Maybe it's tinted but it's only the normal chiplak tinting. My car air-cond is just fine. It's probably due to the heat outside.

I'm thinking to tint my car. My budget is about RM400.

I stay in Klang. I haven't been asking around.

I need some recommendation.

I know no matter how much I tint also, the car will still be hot.

I just want to make it less hot and cools down faster.

I don't want to dress up nicely and end up sweating a lot until deodorant also can't help.

Any recommendations? Thanks.

Sound Card Problem?

Jamess — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 09:18:39 +0800

I didn't do anything to my Asus A42JK. I woke up this morning, switch on my laptop, opened my TTplayer, songs sounded different. I could hear the difference because it doesn't sound normal and it sounds pitchy compared to last night. I was wondering is it sound card problem. The equalizer was all the same. I uninstall and re-install the sound card, didn't make a difference. I use a 2.1 speakers, the settings on the speaker wasn't touched. I did nothing but switch on my computer in the morning realizing this sad problem. Please help, thanks.

Any owner of T20 mind to help? I'm currently using my brother's T20. He haven't used it for quite sometime.

Any nice T20 owner mind to help? Thanksss

Asus A42JK

Jamess — Tue, 11 May 2010 21:25:13 +0800

My laptop's right speaker doesn't work consistently. Some day, it will work some day it won't. Now, when I maximize the volume, it still won't work. Should I send it to Asus or send it to the shop I bought from to fix this problem? Or there are other alternatives that I can use? Please help, thanks.

Cooling Pad USB

Jamess — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 14:37:44 +0800

Last week I went to PC fair and got myself a cooling pad for my laptop. I actually wanted an extra used port because my laptop has only got 3 (I think most laptops have three anyway). I bought this cooling pad for thirty bucks. Now, both usb ports only work for the cooling pad instead of my mouse. Any idea how to fix it? Or should I just throw it away and get a new cooling pad? Advice please, thanks.

I'm an Asus A42JK user. I was wondering if I could use the Facial Recognition Logon. Apparently, on the laptop it says it has it. I couldn't find it. Any idea how to start or use this program? Thanks!

PS - Is there any Asus guru in the forum? I feel so pai seh needing to start a new thread everytime I encounter some small issues. Thanks

Shortcut Keys

Jamess — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 15:40:11 +0800

I just got myself a Asus A42JK. I'm still very new to Windows 7 and this laptop. There's a shortcut key to pause the song from playing. I'm a TTPlayer user. Whenever I use the shortcut key (when I'm playing games), Windows Media Center pops out. The song can't be paused by the shortcut key. Any idea how to solve this problem? The shortcut key is Fn + Down button (on this laptop). I also do not know how to read Chinese but TTPlayer is an awesome music player that is a must have, hahaha. Thanks.

EDIT
Then how to make TTPlayer as my default player? Maybe that will help. thanks

Marketing

Jamess — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 23:37:17 +0800

I'm interested in studying Marketing program. I was wondering which college is recognized for their Marketing program. I know Taylor's good but it's just too damn expensive, totally out of my budget. TARC seems to be in my budget but then, I'll have to pay for accommodation and food (for about 3 years, since it's going to be Diploma then Advance Diploma) which is going to cost quite a lot as well. I currently stay in Klang and I think travelling to PJ/Damansara or Subang should be okay for me. So, which college is WORTH CONSIDERING? I know there's no BEST college if financial issues is there. Thanks for your help, appreciate it. (:

Recycling Computers

Jamess — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 21:50:44 +0800

I don't know where should I post this topic so I posted it here. I'm wondering if there's such thing called recycling computers. I've got about 10 monitors and about 4 CPU that are going to be thrown into the dumpster. Instead of throwing them, I wonder if I could recycle them. I'm not sure if they still work but some of the CPUs still have chips inside. Is there a place that will accept these type of computers?

Jamess — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 23:07:36 +0800

Where can I find Koss KSC 75 around Klang Valley? I know this thread has been done to death but I don't want to reopen those dead threads so I started this new one. Any idea where can I get those goodies?

Printer

Jamess — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 12:44:22 +0800

I was using a Epson CX3700.
The ink ran out when I don't even print a lot of stuffs.
The cartridge itself costs about 40 bucks. I need 4 of them which is about 160.
I can't really afford that much since I'm still a student.

So, I think I need a new printer.
It doesn't need to be a multi purpose.
I just want a cheap yet decent printer. And it doesn't require 4 cartridge.
4 cartridge is killer, in my opinion.
And please, don't suggest Laser printer. It's fast but it drinks! lol
My budget is about 150.

Mind to offer some help?
Thanks.
