I just bought a Ps3 and dont have a LCD TV/Monitor currently playing games with a samsung 21" Flat screen tv,the graphics is crap and make my ps3 display graphic like Ps2 ,so just need some advise from the sifu's out there what LCD monitor brand and model is best suited for the ps3 coz im planning to buy a LCD monitor so that i can use it for my pc also planning 2 get a 21" with DVI connector,and i have seen HDMI to DVI converter also have so maybe i can get at least 720p will surely looks good compared to the old skool crt im using

And your budget is...?

I'd suggest the BenQ FP94VW though if your budget isn't entirely too high. Has HDMI, DVI and VGA ports. The best 19" widescreen monitor out there too IMO.

Dell E248WFP Entry 24" WideScreen Flat Panel LCD Monitor - RM 1,349
doorstep delivery

24" can display up to 1080p resolution

what bout benq FP202W izit good? kinda cheap 20" already rm680.00,Written at benq website it can manage up to 1680*1050 can it b able to produce 1080p,specs says it has DVI connector where i can buy a convertor from HDMI to DVI izit worth it.

anyone play ps3 with samsung 22bw?is it good?

yeah, i am using my samsung 226bw. no prob and working great currently. this lcd work best with 720p setting. can be use to display 1080p, but not recommended as the display may be downscaled unevenly. for 1080p support, i guess better use 24" onward lcd monitor

don't get the benq fp202w, it's not hdcp ready
(yes i have one )

if wan to get monitor go for the fast refresh rate.cause help for playing fps game where fast movement is require.not that 12ms is not good but do u want to gamble with it.
22" work best on if u playing on desk..but for living room envioro go for 32" and above LCD screen.

Not DHCP ready meaning i cant get at least 720p? DHCP system is for Blu Ray movies izit?Noob here pls help me i need advise thanks

not HDCP ready meaning the LCD won't display anything from the PS3. the screen will be blank.

some model will said "out of sync"

it's possible to get 720p on non-hdcp monitors, but there's just too much hassle involved
so you're better off getting a hdcp-ready monitor

plus blu ray movies require hdcp to work

Ooh just as i expected bout HDCP,HDCP is a protocol for the PS3 and the display device 2 comunicate.so BenQ FP94VW i dont c it selling at compuzone anymore,my budget is around rm700-800 for a LCD monitor is there any other brand that sifus would recommend like:

1)Samsung 206BW
2)Vsonic VG2030wm

are these monitors HDCP ready?

not sure about the viewsonic, but the samsung 206bw is hdcp-compatible (scroll down and see "Special Features" "DVI(HDCP)"

another alternative would be the Samsung 931BW

cheers

thanks bro looks like im goin for samsung 206bw the contrast ratio is 2000:1 and response time 5ms,what bout samsung 932b+ izit good sorry asking so much im a real noob in this display era still learning just dowan 2 do a mistake when i spend for a LCD monitor thanks again

just get same model that im planning 2 get quite attractive price as but i guess xbox 360 can display on LCD without HDCP capability

the 932b+ isn't a widescreen monitor, and i don't think it has hdcp..
1080p is normally for monitors 24" and bigger, some smaller monitors though are capable of displaying 1080p, but scaled down to fit the monitor's size

i think the xbox360 has a vga cable, which makes things so much easier

im sure u already study about this topic. so, any good lcd that u interested?... i think i wanna buy lcd monitor which include component input...

how about this one.?.is it good for both wii n xbox360?.

i m using benq fp94vw now. kinda cheap for a 19" widescreen (i get it for rm660). hav hdmi, dvi and vga port plus it has audio ouput oso. that's mean u can plug a speakers straight into d monitor if using hdmi port. den if manual set it can go up to 1080p but if use automatic settings from ps3 it giv max 1080i. but its enuf liao for me.

i recommend u HP w2207h
22 incher with HDMI port....could save u up to RM150++ for converter and hdmi cable itself cz mine comes with free hdmi cable!!!!!

^how about wii?. i think we need a converter for wii. is there any official hdmi cable for wii?.

Just bought a Samsung 931BW last nite at compuzone,great LCD now can really experience HD graphics but can go max 720p its quite good enough though nex angpow will buy bigger LCD hehehe,Thanks bro for ur advise very helpful of you if not i would end up with the benq with no HDCP

you're welcome

does plasma screen and LCD differ in quality when play ps3 games?

i m usin the asus pg221 for both my wii n ps3 n i m veli veli satisfied wit it

^compare to lcd tv, which one give better image quality?..

dun think there ll be much diff in image quality. mainly depends on how near u are 2 the screen and the size of the screen. so if at proper viewing distance, both lcd tvs n lcd monitors should be veli similar in image quality. but like i said proper viewing distance 4 the size of the screen u re using

Cheap and nice. I am also using this. Sells below 1.1k in low yat

get plasma

Visited my gf family place and they have a 48" LCD HDTV 1080p; I compared with my 50" LG plasma and the colors look brighter and sharper on the LCD. I would go for LCD if you have the cash; but plasma isn't too bad itself

I think plasma more sharp and vivid the colors. I saw a side-by-side comparison at best Denki. Panasonic Plasma and Samsung LCD

lcd more sharp, plasma more colours

i saw this hdmi-dvi cable in play asia only ~RM20
is this the same 1 as u mentioned?

Anyone has Asus VW202T 20" LCD? heard it's not too bad?

I think best bang-for-buck LCD now is BenQ FP94VW. may get one for myself soon. hopefully can be found rather easily coz I heard stocks are hard to get now!

haven tested bluray movie already kering no more cash 2 buy bluray ,ovie but will buy 1 soon,as long as the LCD monitor is HDCP compliant no problem with bluray movies btw DMC4 looks so eye candy with Samsung 931bw.If u have cash i would recomend bigger LCD then u can get higher resolution up to 1080P.

haha i alsl not much cash to spare on larger lcd liao
if larger, how's 226bw? i think the spec same as 931bw but larger screen right?
the only thing i scare is non hdtv rip anime would look scary on big screen
maybe will consider to buy larger screen next time solely for ps3 and blu ray

226BW is the same as 931BW just with larger screen and larger native resolution, I heard that 226BW could display 1080p but dunno about the quality. Non-HDTV rip anime? better watch it with ur PC, then choose some deblocking to reduce the pixelazation

226BW can get 1080P wow its a 22" rite,i guess max can get 720P only

I'm using Samsung 206BW with HDMI->DVI cable.

It displays up to 720p only, 1080i and 1080p will have nothing on screen with a message not supported resolution.

My friend uses 226BW and he confirm it works with 1080i and not 1080p
He said, 1080i sux, 720p looks way better.

PM duh2k, he's the one using 226BW

anyone using ps3 with dell 2707wfp? will the text too small in 1080p mode?

sigh...thinking of grabbing it rather than headache considering among lcd tvs...

im using 24' dell and running ps3 1080p mode is fine..
text is not too small its fine..
so i guess 27" is no problemo!!

my 931BW can display 1080P in the xmb only but the LCD will come up with a text "Not optimised mode" but when i play DMC4 the game is scaled down and graphics looks very bad not sharp,so i set to 720P everything looks cool.

I checked behind DMC4 box it says support 480P,720P so playing the game beyond its resolution will nt give better results izit? and example i seen assasin creed stating 1080I behind the box if i play at 720P will the graphic look bad? My monitor can only display 720P max.

very rare games in 1080p...mayb later this year onwards we might c some(hope FF will be in 1080p)

if u're not so happy wif ur monitor, u can always upgrade to 1080p (=>24" lcds), jz saw dell website selling 2408 for RM3599 even more expensive than 27"

Can anyone recommend me an HDTV/LCD/Plasma for my 360? Minimum 31", under 50". Plus, are there any problems with consoles on certain HDTVs? Like incompatibility or something ... please name the brands that have these 'problems' if they do ...

since u din hav budget...

lcd tv - sony 40x350 (i think M'sia currently only hav 40x300)
plasma - panasonic 42py700
both are full hd

if u wan somethn fancy n great, wait for pioneer slim kuro, but dunno when will it reach M'sia
