is there any 32inch lcd tv having a native reso of 1920x1080 to date and has hdmi input?

You might want to scale your search on the manufacturers' web sites / visit HSL or best denki for better answers.

a westinghouse LCD TV from america has 1080p and starts from 37"

go here westinghouse

if only they were in malaysia hmm

Do you have the figures to remove the top and bottom of the screen overscan?

for video source of 480p/i? look for VHZ0 and VPOS

I was able to find HD ready crt tv but not a true HD crt tv. i dont think crt tv will have a true HD. Only plasma or LCDTV. My god they are too expensive.

ar...blur....HD ready not HD then wat ??

HD Ready and HDTV i heard before. never heard of "true HD". what is that?


HD ready can support 720p/1080i, but cannot receive broadcasted HD signal, which is not a loss since malaysia still haven't broadcast in HD.

Yup agree with xxboxx. What's this "true HD" you're speaking of? Unless of course you're referring 1080p as the TRUE HD and everything else being, well, NOT-HD?

Is it true that only HDMI/DVI output can upscale to 720p or 1080i and component video can't from a DVD player with upscale capabilities?

i think that would largely depends on the player itself.

forgot to tell you about the service mode. when everytime you save the setting, it will flash the EPROM. and EPROM have the tendecy to "die" after too many flash, so you might wanna flash for a permanent change only, not everytime keep changing the setting and flashing.

i read in the net...true hd will have atsc decorder...

Sorry for the misunderstanding. True HD meants HDTV
Get confused already.......

icic...means HD ready enough then

A question to all, I am planning to get a lcd tv soon. However i wanna ask is HDMI input really all that important? For future use? I know ps3 will have HDMI but however will component connection gives me the same display quality or not?

AFAIK, technically component video CAN handle up to 1080p (from Wikipedia). However, the impact of HDMI will only be seen once 2 things happen:

1) HDDVD or Bluray wins the format war;

2) Hollywood finally implements their HDCP-ICT anti-piracy initiative

HDMI is just digital video with audio built into a single cable. For now, that's the only thing it is. However, when (2) happens, any HD media that has ICT implemented will automatically be downgraded to 540p when it detects an analog (ie component) connection. Sure, it's better than 480i, but do you really want to be stuck with 540p when you KNOW you're missing out on 1080p (Sony we're looking at you)?

That aside, in terms of quality, and while Hollywood makes up its mind whether to use ICT and when, on a sub 50" TV component/HDMI/DVI won't look much different. So it depends on whether you want to be future proof, or just decide to not worry about it until the time comes.

Having said that, I guess it's better to invest wisely...

So are you saying that we need to have a HDCP capable tv to avoid the downsized to 540p? So with HDMI input also useless cause it will not be capable to produce 1080p quality (for example) for HD-DVD movies?

Actually yes, we DO need to have a HDCP-compliant Player/TV to enjoy true HD quality from next gen HD media. If you have HDMI/DVI input, then you're safe - but any TVs without it in probably 4-5 years time will not be able to produce 1080p (well at least if we discount the fact that some Chinese uberhacker will come up with a cable to fool the HDCP).
