Full mode is for 16:9 squeeze picture...which is different than Panorama forsmart stretching of 4:3 aspect ratio, especially for Astro.....what is your WSS setting????? I will never set the full mode for astro......Mind showing the picture flaw?????

Setting full mode will make people look fatter. Have you noticed that?

Trueee....the process of transforming 4:3 aspect ratio of Astro to 16:9. through the Full Mode will definitely makes the Picture looks at overblown size (as it is only recommended for the picture with 16:9 aspect ratio).....as for Panorama is the right setting for stretching 4:3 aspect ratio......

I guess it wud be Sharp, coz many forumer here hv it . But what i've heard, Panasonic newest LCD is great (eventho i never watch it yet ).

Thanks for the reply, at least I've have narrow down the target when shopping for one instead of headache over different brands that float the market.

If you are looking for 42", then Pana LCD will be out of question since they dont produce 42" LCD tv at the moment.

Yup checked Panasonic site, their LCD is 32" and below only, all 40" and above are Plasma TV.

So, Sharp (not sure yet which model, maybe some could recommend here) & Samsung LA40R81B is the final answer to me for now. If both end up cost me a bomb, will look into any 32" Models.

Heheh well I didn't really look out for the smart stretch tech when I was TV shopping, so it didn't factor into my decision. I made Philips my choice cause I like the way Philips displays work - but as you said, our eyes can only be the judge.

Excuse my bloatness, but making reference to reviews have never been the benchmark of oh goodness. Which i may imply that it somehow contradicts with ur look for ur own good self statement. That little glitch aside, may i remind u that there is no restriction to whatever any forumer is entitled to say or not to say, especially when no lines have been cross. While some people like to violate and taunt what have never been theirs, it's of tantamount importance that others keep health in mind. And with proper respect, i would be glad that a milder choice of language is used.

While some people would drive themselves to Boston to have themselves some lobster, that alone doesnt make them wise. Although the monitor stares u straight in a line, but think and ponder, is it possible to read between them. Taunt and think eh?

my wss setting is off...well there is no flaw with the picture... onli when displaying the 'crawler'.... as i said earlier the word a bit strech when moving in and out compared to when at the centre of the screen.

guys, xbox360 connected with component vs VGA, which is better? thinking bout switching to VGA after the update, but not sure yet.

IMHO, it depends on the TV. If you're using a CRT, component all the way

If you're using LCD, from my observation, a good quality component signal MAY look better than a shoddy VGA cable.

I tested my 360 using original component, ciplak third party VGA and original VGA.

I have to say that with original VGA the update really makes a difference, and brings it almost to original component-like levels. Of course, YMMV.

Hi, I just got myself a sharp aquos LC32PX5M, im using HDMI to connect to my ps3, while playing BD movie, it cant support 720p, but 480p and 1080i is ok, did anyone out there face the same prob?

Thats the features of PS3 ..if I'm not mistaken...maybe the pS3 owner can verify it...as I am not 100% confirms about it....

yeah hope so, coz while gaming there was no prob in either mode, just BD movie playback

7K + -

er....if u wan ur bluray to play @720p, @ display setting uncheck ur 1080i

ps3 will automatically display @ the highest setting, games can be display @ 720p, becos, tats its highest

That budget will get u a nice Sharp LC42BX5M
If I'm not mistaken, there's guy here selling Sharp LCD TV here with very good pricing. You can check with Silencer.

tat's the prob, even i set to 720p n uncheck the 1080i option, the BD movie cannot be played in 720p, it drops down to 480p
