Now planning to buy a LCD tv for xbox360 and astro. Any brand to recommend? My budget is bout >4k and prefer 32".


i am not too sure about xbox. but i guess since the xbox come with components cables, and the technology is diffrent from normal rca cables, i guess it should be okay.

but for astro, any lcd or hd tv is not compatible yet.
you can still watch lar, but u will realize the ppl are all stratch a little.
astro is yet to come out with the technology yet.

and please be informed those tv that u see in display are pre-recorded football matches taken from satelite tv and its not astro. thats why its very clear.

Oh yeah..Samsungs. I was happy with my R8 till my farking neighbour came over and messed up the factory defaults. I've restored them but maybe i'm nuts..but it doesn't look the same anymore..

I'll wait till next year and get myself a 1080p Phillips. No more Samsungs. Screw them, their tech support is useless...technicians only know next to nothing.


how many settings are there
i just turn on game mode for everthing.
and it looks clear
and i think u really nuts. you neighbour can really screw up your tv
bhahahaha

samsung still rules...
its based on preferences...
so if i like samsung, doesnt mean you have to like samsung
and if u like sony doesnt mean i like sony...

best is go see all the tvs that u want to see
then u might be able to choose the tv u want.

Samsung and Sony use the same lcd panel, made by S-LCD Corp, a JV of the two companies. I have both Samsung and Sony and I'm satisfied with em  nod.gif  icon_rolleyes.gif

Great, at least someone do agree with me
Its all about satisfactory.
Only reason i got samsung, is because of the silky finishing.
And i got it at a much cheaper price compared to Sony.
So i have no regrets.

I dont bother to tweak.
The samsung i have only for astro and xbox360
No tweaking rquired yet.

For astro, how bad u tweak also ppl are still fat.
Unless Astro update their services to be HD Compatible.

With XBOX 360 = everything is cool.
Most likely tweak when have the HD-DVD Drive

from what i understand
the lcd tv that are on display most of them are using football rite.
and some sources says that the football is pre-recorded from satelite tv.
and those satelite tv/cable tv has much better quality compare to astro.
again correct me if i am wrong.
sometimes sources are bull as well.

That's where you are wrong. You need to tweak your tv to make astro look a little bit better. As for the people looking fat on Astro, u need to change your wide-screen setting. Different tv has different implementation. On Sharp's LCD u can use the panoramic wide, for Sony I use full-wide.

yeah u couldbe rite there too.
but not all tv comes with panoramic wide. (black lines on the top and bottom to even out the image)
all astro become line watching dvd which is quite cool.

and how do u fix your samsung settings there?
full wide as well??
