What would be the cheapest and best 720P LCD TV for my PS3?

Would i be able to find one below RM1500?

Try Toshiba or samsung.... RM1500 can get full HD 32" at some shops...

The Toshiba AV series is HD Ready 1080p

Why would you want to look for the 720p LCD TV, when you can get 1080p for your budget.
PS3 games supports 1080p. Dont refer to the back cover of the game. That's just minimum requirement.

Do a search in the following section : http://forum.lowyat.net/HomeElectronics&Homewares.

You might find our sellers with good offer.

ohh, didn't think you could get 1080 less than RM1500. hmmm

I suggest you check the Garage Sales if you're looking for below RM1.5k.

off topic a bit
consider that for under 2k u can get a 46" HD-Ready Plasma...

just a thought

The cheapest plasma i saw in LYN forum is 2.7k , not a bad price tho.
Yeah, maybe yonggoh's suggestion is workable.

just a question.

Here is the Sharp Aquos LC32A37M

http://www.sharp.com.my/product.php?Produc...=specifications

This is just HD-Ready and not Full, so obviously it doesnt play at 1080p. Question is, how do i know if it plays at 720p?

Under the specs it says:
Resolution 1366 x 768

A lot of the cheapest 32" tvs have this res (1366 x 768), so how do i know if it plays 1080p or 720p if it doesnt say in the specs?

HD Ready/720p is 1366 x 768
Full-HD/1080p is 1920 x 1080

yonggoh..Thank you..

you just saved me a heap of headache!

PS3 game mostly all is 720p...only few game supported 1080p...
if you see on your tv is 1080p, then that is upscaled by your tv...

I have seen 1 at Best Denki @ Midvalley...

It's Sharp Aquos with
- fully imported LCD panel from Japan
- 2 years warranty
- 1 year full insurance on fire, theft...
- RM1399 price tag

Drooling...

Yep absolutely correct.
Even FIFA08 [the last i played] does not support 1080p, but when upscaled it looks better than 720p.

Mostly that only applies to 1080i plasma. LCDs are 1280x720 for 1080i.

Get 40" minimum.


fuad

don't thinking too much. it actually simple... if the resolution is 1366x768, u can play/view 720p movie/game without reduce/maximize the original source..

don't get confuse between console and pc... there are limitation when playing console (for an example ps3) where the resolution usually 480p, 720p,1080p, 720i, etc. so if u have 1366x768, of course the game will play in 720p and below. since the lcd resolution is 768 pixel vertical compare to the source is 720p (which is smaller than 768), it will stretch the image to fit the screen. however some lcd can view dot-by-dot or pixel-by-pixel where u will see the image in 720p without stretching anything.

if u using pc when watching movies, u can play any type of movies even if the movie is 1080p. it is because, the windows "media player" can downscale the movie fit into your lcd resolution...

i hope u can understand...

okay guys, i have decided to get a 32" 720p capable LCD because of my budget.

Here the thing, should i get the:

Sharp Aquos LC32A37M
or the
LG 32LH25R

The LG has Dynamic Contrast Ratio: 60,000:1 compared to the sharp which only has 10,000:1

i think with budget rm1500 u can easily get HD Ready LCD
but of coz a very basic model only

looks like ill be getting the Philips 32pfl3409s/98 or

32PFL5609S/98 - FULL HD (If i can find one below $1500)

No! Dont buy Philips , you will regret for the rest of your life!. Buy anything which is not Philips.

My personal experience with Philips tele & other products are quite nasty!

Thanks for the feedback sKyWiR3pT3lTd, i went to Tesco today to look at some display units and felt the image was a bit dull on the philips units. Might get a Samsung Series 4 LC450 which cost $15XX

Including PHILIPS Lighting?

No obviously not, i rephrase that . Its "Electronic" items from Philips.

ive had generations of phillips tv since i was a kid..
never dissapoints me at all..

Philips LCD really that bad? Saw the promo selling 32PFL3409S at RM1399 + other goodies.

Which Tesco got sell Samsung Series 4 LC450 at RM15xx?
Currently only found KLV-32BX300 or Samsung C350 at that price range.

thanks for the info, im looking to buy 720p HDTV with ard the same budget as well .

i didn't really pay attention yet, but seems that 32" is the smallest i can find?

thanks....

data collected from this thread...
Sharp Aquos LC32A37M
LG 32LH25R
Samsung Series 4 LC450

anyone has any views on Sony Bravia series?
Sen Heng seems to have some promo for this series until May 31st....

there is another series for sharp there the sound system is better... the model has 3 color to choose from... should be around RM1600 as i saw fom Harvey b4 i choose it's bigger bro LC32A66M just 2 weeks ago

A66M is full HD, must not be RM1600?
A37M is HD ready.....should be around RM1500, which is within my budget...if I want >=40", I will choose Full HD.

well there is some model from Philips and Pana around RM1300 only

Was looking to get another lcd, ts if you can up a bit ur budget to rm2200* you can get panny u series 37" fhd. i saw 42" Sharp A66 for 26xx at jusco day last thursday

er... what 46" can I get for <2k?

Very interested...

i ended up buying a Samsung Series5 32" (Full HD) for Rm1999, came with a free samsung camera which i ended up selling for RM300.

Comes with 2+1 year warranty aswell

This is back in April

I think if you look around, you should be able to get a 32" HD Ready LCD TV for less than RM1.5K... A 32" is just nice for the bedroom though.

32" HDTV (HD ready, res: 1366 X 768)

LG 32LF20FR - RM1550, which is a 1080p Full HD.
but I have to go all the way to Legends SS2 at PJ.

LG 32LH25R RM1399 still available at Tesco Cheras. So do other models you mentioned on top. How long is LG monitor warranty?

Thanks for your response, Kelv
the price above was taken earlier today in Tesco Puchong


I forgot, I think I didn't ask for details, but I believe is 2 years.

Haha, welcome. I also planning to buy one soon for my ps3 gaming in my room. Have you see Tesco got sell LCD monitor? I am wondering will 32" too big for my room. Will be seating around 6 ft. away only.

i think i'll go for the LG Full HD unit... SS2 from Puchong is that far haha... i don think so... i always go from USJ to 1U or Ikano for short shopping... or even Klang for a meal...

my single cents..

im actually staying in tmn. puncak jalil, seri kembangan, going to Puchong is near, going to PJ will be a bit further. still, distance is not a problem, but i just move to klang valley from png, not very familiar with the road here.

does anyone knows Legend SS2 close at what time on weekday?
or i can actually order thru phone?

thanks

quite late... welcome to klang Valley bro... i previously work in penang also 3 years ago...
you just go straight onto the LDP and further up is the SS2... mostly i went there around 7 something but after 8 mostly is closed so i assume they close at 7:30pm or 8pm
