im planning to get an LCD for the HTPC setup, and my line ups are

32R81 Samsung (RM2.7K), 32A53M Sharp (RM3.3K), 32LC7R LG (RM2.6K)

so of which i ll be using a DVI-HDMI cable for view from my PC. so how is the R81 using DVI-HDMI? and does it use all the pixels (1366x768)?

yes, i suppose
1366 X 768, all pakai

hi all, i need some suggestion,
i'm using my ps3 on the dell 2407wfp-hc,
i can either choose the dvi or the component?
the dvi can support 1080p and the component support 720p,
but i am using the dvi input for my computer,
so if i have to use dvi i have to change everytime when i need to use,
if i use component so i dont need to change everytime, but it only support up to 720p,
so if is u ? which 1 will u choose?
dvi or component?

haiyah...dah agak dah..mesti takde sound...
so..to get the sound, what cable must i use? and the cable must be plug into which port? how much for that cable?

for me, i only will use the monitor for my ps3 and xbox360..
but if i want to use DVI for ps3 and Componen for PC, must use converter box for PC...
how much for that monitor(2407wfp-hc)?
thanks a lot

u have to choose either optical out or use the red and white that 1..(i dont know tat 1 call wat)
last time i bought the monitor is 1899, now i think should around 2000 something gua..

I'll go for dvi. I'll want to get the best PQ out. If switching is becoming such a hassle, go buy a switch box.

AFAIK, 2407wfp-hc support 1920x1200 right? wouldn't ps3 look a little bit stretch?

During promo, the HDMI will be given free

keke.. at last i choose the component, yah, the 2407wfp-hc support 1920-1200, so can use the full HD1080,
the stretch problem can be solve, just need to put the display setting - wide mode to "aspect", then it is 16:9,
i choose the component cable to my monitor the maximum it can only support up to 1080i,
so i put it to 720p, because the different between 720 and 1080 to me is only the font size show on the screen..
i would rather go for 720p, because it easier to read...

I just came back from Tesco, they got this samsung 26 inch with HDMI, dun think it's 1080, but the price is great RM 1999.

It's good to see LCD tv price keeps falling to an affordable price

since christmas is around the corner and my renovation house is almost complete, thinkin of getting a full home theater..already decided to get one of the BOSE 5.1 system but dont know wat LCD TV to get..currently using 26'' samsung r7..thinkin of getting a bigger and better since my room is big..so wat best LCD TV to get around rm10k ?..and also is there anything better then the BOSE system ?..

since u got only 10k for lcd, then i dun think u can get the best
so just get urself a 2nd grade W series from sony, its 9999

Bose system looks nice with the small cubic speaker but the review so far is not good. Try getting a yamaha 5.1 system instead.

i think he is more to brands than quality

lol im not into brands than quality. ..when and check the new series, ok wat..good quality and sound...but any suggestion will be ok cause trying to get this christmas or new year..and for the LCD TV, other than the sony W series got wat ? and wat is the best LCD TV to play xbox360 with that is not more then 15k ?

Siebel..
..just choose between Philips or Sharp.....
...the pictures quality are great ....but design of the panel, Sharp has the edge...

sharp which model ?

A83 model wouldbe more suitable for ur elite spending power

BOSE = Buy Other Sound Equipment

If you have in excess of RM3k to blow on sound equipment, I'd suggest you head over to Desa Home Theater or Tong Lee at Lowyat ground floor and have a look at brands like Yamaha, Denon, KEF, JBL, Infinity, etc. I haven't been there for quite some time so I wouldn't be able to recommend any specific models.

As for the LCD, you can get a 42" Full HD from Philips or Samsung for under RM10k. If you want something better then check out the Sharp Aquos A83 series which will cost you a few grand more.
