I tried a VGA cable first. From PC, used a DVI-VGA adapter for the VGA cable to the LCD's PC input. But bad news, is bcoz of analogue signal, the highest resolution attainable is 1024 x 768, whereas the LCD is capable of 1366 x 768.

So...then bought a DVI-HDMI cable, tadaaaa.... bcoz of digital signal, can get 1360 x 768 and enjoy full resolution. Playing Doom3 and HalfLife at full res, summore 32" wow!

The fact is not whether it's analog VGA or digital DVI/HDMI. It's whether the manufacturer provides VGA with 1360x768 support or not.

In this case Toshiba doesn't provide 1360x768 support via VGA (reasons only known to them) while most other manufacturers does.

Do you know that LG LCD TV even provides support up to 1366x768 (including 1360x768) for VGA. If you have a video card which can enable 1368x768 resolution, then you can display that resolution on a 1366x768 setting on the LG using VGA. Only one line on each side of the panel is cut off.

Thanks for the info. I never knew that not all manufacturers provide the same VGA support for their LCD TVs.

Actually I was seriously considering Toshiba 32a3500 or 37a3500 if I had not known about this fact. Now I have changed my mind. No Toshiba for me because I want the LCD TV to replace my existing 15 in LG LCD monitor. Then I can use the LCD TV as monitor, TV and watch DVD.

Before I start looking for another brand, any idea what other manufacturers that do not provide full 1360 x 768 VGA support?

My next choice is Panasonic.

Would have considered LG since they provide value for money. But had a bad experience with their service centre last time with my LCD monitor.

Haven't see any discussion threads here on Haier. Seems like they don't have many supporters in Malaysia.

It means it can input a video signal up to 1080P. But since it is not really a 1080P panel , the image will downscaled back to it's native resolution.

Previously I had wanted to buy the older Toshiba model too (before the new model came out) , but when I discovered the VGA port did not support 1360x768 I changed my mind.

But now since the newer 3500 model has 2 HDMI, maybe you can consider using one of the HDMI for video and the other through HDMI-DVI converter use it for PC 1360x768. Can leave the VGA unused.

From my experience most salesman are not well versed on the PC connections of LCD TVs. They will tell you everything also can, when you ask them. The best is to look at the user manual and check out the PC VGA connections specs to make sure, or directly test with your notebook computer.

Tip for setting 1360x768 resolution on TV

1) Select the proper aspect ratio on your TV (16:9)
2) Set your TV to 1360x768 resolution for PC mode (unless it is auto detection) and also the correct frequency 60hz, 75hz etc. (if it support multiple frequency).
3) Set your PC graphic card to match the resolution and frequency of your TV above.
4) If the screen picture is out of position and size, words fuzzy etc., make use of the "Auto Adjustment" feature of your LCD TV to automatically sychronize and optimise the signal to your Graphic Card. (This will involve some automatic changes to the Phase, position etc.).

I think Panasonic should be able to support 1360x768 60hz through VGA. But do make a confirmation yourself.

I didn't buy any Haier LCD TV. Saw some of the models on display last time at the shops when they were first introduced to the local market but nowadays don't see them so much anymore. Guess they can't compete with the regular big brands.

Went to Best Denki at KLCC yesterday and saw the Toshiba 32A3500E selling for RM2,799 with 5 years all risk insurance. 37A3500E is RM3,999 also with 5 years all risk insurance. Can pay interest free payment for certain credit cards too. I'm sure I should be able to get cheaper if I look around especially from the L shop in SS2 but not sure if they provide 5 years all risk insurance.

The all risk insurance is very important to me since my area is very prone to lightning strike. Old 29" CRT TV was fried, LCD monitor also struck dead barely 1 month old and a couple of modems last time. Now using Belkin surge Protector. They provide connected equipment warranty.
