If LCD TV, I'll be opting for around 40". That's an item in my long-term list, but not necessary for the moment. How soon will the item reach or whether it will reach or not, also not necessary since my point for LCD TV just enjoyment of HD videos and PS3 which currently laid upon my HP LP2475w IPS LCD.

I'm just opting for an extra LCD because not all days I'll be at home. On working days, I'll be staying outside and that's the plan for the LCD to be there, PS3 purpose.

Beside ST2410, is there any other comparable LCD in the same league for 1080p display? Any Samsung's perhaps?

for the price and the purpose....seriously go for LCD TV. especially since u planning on 40" above. id recommend u save the money and go with the LCD TV. in the meantime just use the current LCD monitor til uve managed to get the TV.


Apple Cinema Display 30"...about RM7k

Hmm... then says I would get a decent and budget LCD for my PS3 at the moment. Would ST2410 be the best pick around or any comparable contender from Samsung, etc? LED backlite from Samsung or Acer?

Seriously LCD TV will be quite a long way for me to make it up now. I'm just opting to get a display so I can play PS3 on my working days too, which will be placed at the place I'm living during working days

ST2410 would get my vote then....bang for buck...but purely for display only...

unless u need built in speakers than the ST2410 is out of the list as it doesnt have any.

Well, I already expected display only be display and no audio. I'll look into alternative speaker for the audio part.

ST2410? Alright, lets see if there's any pretty bargain for ST2410 during PC Fair

Out of ta topic:
Still not changing your speaker system, eh?

hahhahaa....actually my speaker system no longer in use....its on the table as decoration only...and the subwoofer is my foot stool

now full time using the Audio Technica A500 headphones.

Samsung LED back-light are still far expensive, I would get Dell G2410H but not for everyone due to lack of HDMI port.

And, as far as I have seen, the Samsung TN panel quality is getting poorer by the day, maybe due to manufacturing cost, it's getting cheaper.

If you want to get Samsung, go for the latest LED back-light, around RM1,000 and the display is a wonder.

I have no recommendation of Acer product, since it has bad reputation (never have one before) and the review also very bad.

My personal opinion, the stand is fugly, like lizard with elephant leg.

Ish... what a waste for 2 sets of R501 MKII getting dusted

Might as well selling (or giving) to someone that really need it (considerable me? )

I actually tried out the XL2370 at one cyber-cafe nearby my area . I didn't notice it was LED till I noticed the LED word on the bezel and then the contrast really significant. Colour reproduction wise, far matching my current running IPS in my room

As most people said, for LED, you'll see BLACK (Dark) colours are darker while WHITE (Bright) colours are brighter. I couldn't notice much different between LED and normal CCFL backlite then. Ouch, unless mentioning CCFL bleeding, that is inevitable.

XL2370 vs ST2410... Samsung doesn't produce any 24" LED backlite yet?

still remember u guys from back then..
footstool? aiyo give me instead lah.. i'm still using my M3300, still loving it but already sold audigy 2 zs, planning to get an elite pro soon see how budget first

sorry for off topic

anyway, I think I will order for ST2410 soon and slowly wait it come lah.. haih
then i wil give my personal opinions again

PS3 on Kuro Plasmas are fuxxing awsome!!

Kuro? still got meh?

last i heard Pioneer was backing out from making plasmas already...

n yeah.... Plasmas are awesome... better color reproduction and no ghosting


my R501 only 1 set is still in use....for my htpc...the gaming rig is the footstool one... was thinking about selling them both to fund for speaker upgrade for HTPC...but pokai now...need to save money for wedding

i still want speakers for my main rig just in case i feel like using it

I'm wondering did any of u guys use a 32" Full HD LCD TV as a the primary monitor? i'm wondering will it degrade text quality? i can't get a chance to see the result myself. i understand watching movie and gaming shall work fantastic but what about text display and long hour staring at it? I'm planning myself an upgrade either to go for samsung 27" or samsung LCD TV 32" which will cost double... i know...
btw, 32" will be max for my setup and i won't go anything beyond that scale

heck those are the best tvs in the world man!
i'm lucky to have a small 42 inch 428xg

i've 32" fullhd hook with my pc, so far so good. since i only use to watch movies, i haven't notice any low quality in text, unless watching closely which i'm sure it pretty bad for our eyes.

the only problem is due to the driver. if u using lcd tv with pc, no proper driver is installed. it only use generic/default driver for monitor, so there is nothing u can do to adjust the setting to make it look perfect, for an example, i only have 1 choice which is set the tv setting to "PC mode". if i change to something else, or change each parameters individually, i will get crappy image quality... it mean, the PC mode that i use is an optimum setting or i can say the best i can get if i'm hooking my tv with pc...

If the LCD TV is full HD (1920x1080) then it would look very much like any (huge) computer LCD monitor. However if its the non-HD ones (1366x768) then the text looks rather large and blocky/pixelated (due to the pixel size).

wat lex said is true.... the bolded part...

i use a 42" HD Ready Plasma on my HTPC and text is blurry. readable but still blurry.


but personally to me...if u want a monitor...buy a monitor. not a TV. better response time etc.

Hehe, both of us were kinda popular in Edifier's thread back then . Many people remember us actually due to that conversation about R501 MK-II

I'm still waiting for PC Fair to see if Dell would actually giving out any extra discount to their ST2410, perhaps by then I'll make my definite decision about getting ST2410

Actually, Plasma would be better off than LED LCD for big screenie?

I would actually love to upgrade my R501 MK-II, but the current setting already over-kill for my small room . Unless my plan to refurnish my living room arrived, I'll just stick with the R501 MK-II at the moment.

Neither way, at the moment it is impossible to find a LCD-TV that can actually produce the sharpness for text of a LCD monitor. Unless you use your display only for the big object in display such as gaming, watching video, etc. It's still recommended to get LCD monitor for text displaying purpose like viewing word, pdf, etc.

thanks for for all the feedback guys.... bro mADmAN just reminded me about 1 important item = response time... i totally forgotten about it. LCD TV spec usually never tell about the response time and we can't tell how well it goes. i guess this will only filter to 1 option = Samsung 2770 and save me 1k. Saving $$ time become shorter.. lolz.. was planning 4 months to save up.. now i think only require 2 months
