anyone here gaming on plasma am thinking of getting the Samsung C430 HD Ready any comments ?

Like Joey, I got mine from All IT Hypermarket @ Ikano. About RM60 if I'm not mistaken.

Apart from screen burns... I don't really recommend plasma for gaming!

Modern Plasmas don't suffer from burn-in more than your typical LCD does nowadays. However some of the might be more susceptible to image retention (IR) but it's not really a big problem. Just need to leave it off for a certain period of time or let it run a move/animation to let the IR run off.

Anyway, if anyone plans to get a Panasonic plasma, if you don't know already, the black levels will rise to LCD levels after 400-1500 hours. So be warned.

Dang.. we got a panasonic plasma hooked to up to a Ps3 in the family room!

The users on AVSForums have been complaining about it for quite a while already. Even the latest G11/V11 models tend to suffer from it since it's sort of a feature in Panasonic Plasmas.

yeah! I've always strayed away from plasma's for gaming! No idea why peeps hooked up Ps3 to the plasma lol.. its never used..wasted! And Panasonic is one of the better class of Plasma's after Pioneer... Sad!

heard some of samsung model faced problem with ps3??? is that true?

Ah thx for the tip! Will definitely try it out

anyone can suggest a 24 inch lcd monitor? have to settle with one as limited space..

As my PS3 utilize my DVi, I bought VGA to DVI convertor and use my VGA cable to connect to my PC. The results is horrible man. My PC image now sucks to the max and I have reverted back to plug in and out the cable. Is there anything else that I can do?

Your monitor does not have D-Sub/VGA? Only DVI?

What is D-Sub/VGA? It only has 2 input namely DVi(White Color) and VGA(blue color). Since I used DVI for PS3, I will have to use the blue one for PC. Any help?

Yeah, that blue port is the VGA port. You can use that to connect to your PC. Have you tried using another VGA cable?

ur monitor VGA port u connect to DVI port at GC? or not?

I use the VGA cable that came as a bundle with my monitor. You think its the cable problem?

Yes I did. My GC does not have a VGA port. Thats why have to buy the VGA-DVI converter. The difference is really big. My monitor's optimum resolution is 1600X1050 and when I use the DVI cable, the pictures are really sharp, crystal and full screen. When I use VGA cable, if I use 1600X1050, its not full screen and the image sucks. You can see the font and the icon all have the blur effect on them. Any idea?

try re-install ur monitor driver.

Ok. I try this as I must admit that I dont remember whether I install the monitor driver or not. Thanks.

I don't have any problem with Samsung products. My Samsung T240 FullHD 24" LCD monitor has been more than a year and works perfectly fine. No dead pixel, no distortions or whatsoever dysfunctional. Same goes to my Samsung 40" LA40B550 LCD TV.

From the day it was taken out from the box and I've been using it on a daily basis. Till date my frequency of usage per day:

Minimum usage per day: 3 hours
Maximum usage per day: 10++ hours straight

It didn't let me down one bit.

Regards, Joey

Bought a Belkin HDMI Cable from All IT last night for RM59 and to my dismay it didn't work on my Sharp a66

When I plugged it in on 1080p there are white dots running all over the place and sound skips. Tried it on all my HDMI ports with the same results.

However the one I purchased is a 2008 model with a short head (about 1 inch) in a plastic packaging. I notice there was another 2007 model with a longer head (about 2 inch) that came in a black paper box packaging.

Which one you guys are using?
