QUOTE(Lord_Ashe @ Nov 28 2005, 09:05 AM) Yeah - it's pretty much discontinued. Philips has a new range out now with Pixel Plus 2 starting from 34" but without the 1080i capability and retailing for RM 3900. Weird - I guess they realised they were giving too many capabilities with the old line. Judging from how fast prices are going, I think it's viable that 32" and above hdtv LCD screens will be affordable in the next 2 years or so...till then, it's CRT, lol! 720p is better than 1080i anyway so the is no need to have 1080i unless its 1080P. But i really don't want another 4:3 screen anymore. 16:9 is much better for movies. |

QUOTE(xxboxx @ Nov 28 2005, 04:56 PM) ya, i too hope can afford to get a widescreen hdtv. running 720p on 4:3 screen will mean a black border on top and bottom. so sad that no demand for widescreen in malaysia, i see j-drama even their pc monitor is wide screen. There is demand but there is no supply. All Malaysian TV comes in 4:3 ratio except the newer DLP and LCD TV. Those are too expensive anyway. That is why i bought the Skyworth 16:9 crt HDTV because its widescreen. |

QUOTE(xxboxx @ Nov 29 2005, 05:26 PM) is there really any demand? only the enthusiast in AV would know about wide screen. the average joe only know that tv is 4:3. btw, your widescreen tv, it's china brand izzit? how the quality compare to like sony or philips? Yes, its china brand Skyworth. Quality wise to me are more or less the same. |

QUOTE(xxboxx @ Dec 2 2005, 02:27 PM) Lord_Ashe, are you sure your tv support 720p? i was browsing xbox-scene when i stumble on this article That is wrong....crt HDTV don't have native resolution like plasma or LCD which fix-pixel. And crt HDTV do suppport 720P, 1080i and even 1080P. We just don't have them in malaysia.You can refer to my earlier post for the CRT HDTV i bought from china and look at its spec that say 720P, 1080i and 1080P. |

QUOTE(xxboxx @ Dec 2 2005, 05:36 PM) according to the article: there is no such thing as 1440i/1500i. HD standard is 720P/1080i/1080P. And newer crt these days can fully support these. The only disadvantages of crt hdtv is that part of the tube might be covered the frame so one might not see the whole picture. A minor disadvantages considering the price you pay.meaning it can display 720p, but at some loss of line, unless the tv support 1440i/1500i (which is double of 720p line). 1080 if divided 2 will only be 540 lines. |

QUOTE(xxboxx @ Dec 4 2005, 10:30 PM) so you mean any crt hdtv can support 720p natively? without the need to upscale it? but i wonder why most crt hdtv only have 480p and 1080i like the philips tv that Crt HDTV don't have native resolution unlike fixed pixel LCD and plasma tv. CRT draw line with the cathode guns and newer crt is capable of 1080P. What you see in Malaysia are not true crt hdtv so don't waste your money on it.The downside of crt is that is its hard to manufacture crt larger than 35" beacuse the tube would be too big and heavy. But crt still offers the best image in terms of picture in terms of picture contrast and color. |

QUOTE(Matrix @ Dec 4 2005, 11:07 PM) So your tv arrive already? I think it's kinda risky buying some tv from China...sometimes specs doesn't tells everything....the quality of the image might not be satisfactory. The container will arrive sometimes this week. Seriously, for that price, i'll rather go with Pixel Plus 2.... it beats everything, HDTV or not! Anyway, good luck and be sure to let us know the result when you got it! Don't worry about china brand. There are some good brand offering good quality and great products such as Skyworth and Konka. Here is a review... |

Got my TV oledi. Was a little disappointed that it only supports 720p and 1080i(50/60hz) and not 1080P as stated in the brochure.
However it did come with a quality assurance note that the picture tube is made in japan by mashusita/ toshiba. I have not try it out because i have no place to put it now until i move to my new house early next year. |
