Just bought the philips 29pt8845 last friday for about 1.5k from hsl, manual stated that it does support 720p and 1080p as well. Took abit of time to tune the color to my liking. The first 5 hours or so the color and PQ of the progressive scan image through my denon 1920 dvd player connected to the TV was awful ( pixelization / noise / jaggies/ vertical lines all over the screen) . Still running in the tv and can see the PQ improve day by day.

I notice that in dark scenes in a movie, the black level through progressive is way darker than interlaced. Dunno whether its the player or the tv causing this. Noticed the color from the philips is not as vibrant as my old JVC 50hz tv, but the color seems to look "thicker" and more natural.

Hope this helps!

I've never been a fan of sony tv so my choice was clear Can really see the difference through the pixel plus, although its the older technology.

Just an update, the philips 29pt8845 wont do 576p. The tv will detect it but the picture will be jumping all over the place and there will be some vertical lines on the image. Just double checked at philips website, the 576p mode is not listed... only 480P / 720P and surprise surprise - 1080P.

Wah lau senq really throwing price kau kau, saw their ad for benq... 26" lcd = 2999 / 36 months = rm 83+ and 32" = 4999 / 36 months = rm 138+. But applicable to rhb cr cards only. Maybe lcd sales not doing so well, over stock so every1 throw price, hehehe. Very tempted but got the philips crt instead, i watch a lot of astro and normal tv, so the 16:9 format not really suitable, 4:3 images will look weird lar.

Same price actually

Wanted to get a LCD TV to match the denon BUT budget *kaboom* kau kau, tripple the price of the crt philips

Wah siau!!!!

Try Desa, the denon about 1.5 - 1.6k niah. Good hdmi cable 500+ should be able to get liau lar, never been a fan of monster... over priced kau kau. Check out ebay man, i got my QED components for about 350 bucks ( inclusive of postage) instead of close to 500 locally!!!!
