lol...walaueh...im just a student la..not even working at all rclxub.gif how to afford sumthing at RM7999 tongue.gif

like i said in the earlier post, after reading all u guys awesome feedback laugh.gif
ive decided (of course this is with my budget of RM1k at the most) to get

a) a 19 inch widescreen LCD monitor
or
b) a 20++ inch CRT monitor

the question is which should i get? tongue.gif

and yeah..if i wanted to watch a movie i already have a nice dvd player with a big tv(not a hdtv la, thats why i dnt want to play my future xbox360 on it sweat.gif )
so im not sure if i need a "widescreen" feature
*
LOL... that was not directed at you, just letting you guys know what I found just now biggrin.gif

As for your question, go for the 19" widescreen as you'll loose lots of space when playing a widescreen game on a normal monitor.

Doesn't plasma screens have this flaw called 'Burn In'?

For example; you leave the game paused for an extended period of time then when continuing it back again there are some parts of the game image that is burned onto the screen.

Another example would be the Astro logo or cable channel logos (i.e: HBO, CNN, ESPN) it remains on that certain upper right hand spot for some period of time and the image is 'burned' into the plasma screen.

If I were to opt for a screen for my gaming rig, I'm going for the LCD screens as it doesn't have 'burn in'.

That problem is quite common for the early generations of plasma but the technology has greatly improved since those days. Burn ins are rerely heard of nowadays with the newer plasmas.

No converters for them. The Dell 30" uses dual link DVI.

are there many games out there having widescreen-only resolution? Becos planning to get dell 19inch ultra sharp which doesnt have widescreen support. Cant afford those 1k above de screen le..
*
Yup, majority of games are in widescreen so my advice would be for you to save up for a widescreen. Trust me, it'll be worth the wait biggrin.gif

Playing widescreen games on a non-widescreen display is the ultimate potong-stim experience laugh.gif

Personally I'm not a big fan of projection TV because of the size plus the fact that you need to change the bulb every 2000 hours and the cost over RM1000 a pop doh.gif

VGA is a lot better compared to composite. If you meant VGA and component, IMO they're pretty equal on my 26".

IMO the R7 series is among the top 3 720p/1080i LCD TV in terms of specs and performance while being the best looking one. You can't go wrong with the R7

how's the sound quality when connected to external speaker?
if pc we already noticed as the sound card works it.

The console is able to output Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound so the quality of the audio depends entirely on your audio setup.

Guys... I was at Best Denki Midvalley today before watching 300 at 4pm.. When i was there the 32R7 was selling at RM3999 with a RM150 voucher. After the movie, I went there again and it was selling at RM3799. So I went ahead and bought 1.  tongue.gif

A word of caution. There's a 32N7 demo unit there selling for RM 3999, a steal considering a new one cost RM 4799 at HSL. Was so tempted to get it until I noticed there's a deal pixel at the bottom.

The new prices makes me wanna cry. My 26" R7 cost me a grand more last year cry.gif tongue.gif

^ I have the same TV..bought it last week. Didn't really like it. Can't get the black levels down enough without making the whole image appear too dark.

Have you set the power saving to HIGH? The black level looks good to me, I used main screen of GoW for reference, the blacks looks as black as the frame laugh.gif
