^what is your setup? if play in small room or desktop setting, consider 19", 22", 24" LCD monitors. BenQ 19" fp94vw is RM650 while Dell LCDs are also good value for money.

if living room, best get a TV LCD, they discuss it here

my setup is in my small sleeping room blush.gif not living room. tht's mean LCD monitors suit me more?

best go window shopping. look at those PC LCDs at shops, look at those TVs at shops and estimate the space needed to suit your room.

in terms of video quality, there is not much different between those 2? unsure.gif

What your PS3 region? You can use the following direct download link to download the update file:

(Asian Region)

http://dsa01.ps3.update.playstation.net/up...58/PS3UPDAT.PUP

Put the PS3UPDAT.PUP inside your thumbdrive/Memory Stick under PS3/UPDATE folder. Then, on your PS3 select System Update through Storage Device.

i dont know wat's the region.. sweat.gif how to check? it's ceramic white one..
thanks for the link notworthy.gif

Nope, not exactly. You can use US update on Asian or Japan PS3. No difference. Well, I guess most Ceramic White PS3 sold here are Asian region.

but wat region mostly ppl will use here? i dont want mess up later.. sweat.gif
if i update wit US region, is tht mean i need to create acc wit us address and the other way round? unsure.gif

Most people use Asian update, the one that I just posted. And, it does not effect your PSN account registration. In fact, you can create multiple accounts; whether its Asian account or US account. You can use any region to logon and play online multiplayer. No restriction.

thanks for the info notworthy.gif
but i noticed something wrong wit my console sweat.gif
if i place it horizontally, it will hang sometimes in the middle of the game but it's ok if i place it vertically..
is tht normal?

cant really picture how is the connection be done via PS3.

If brother casablanca2 u can take a pic at the PS3 backplace (backside interface) n let me see how is the connection be done it will be great smile.gif

Thanks

if connect ur ps3 to ur normal tv u use the cable wit 3 color rite? yellow, white, red. (yellow for video, white red for audio)
just unplug the yellow cable from ur ps3, leave the white and red color remain plugged. then get a Y splitter (refer page 1) so that this two audio out will bridge into one input to ur pc speaker. remember to select ur audio type with XMB.
get a HDMI -> DVI cable. just connect ur ps3 wit ur LCD via the HDMI port and DVI port. done! tongue.gif

wow.....how much is the splitters?
but normal computer lcd can produce good quality while playing blur-rays games?

any lagging frame-rate occur?

btw what else can PS3 do besides playing games?
*
QUOTE(enCORe @ Jan 4 2008, 03:54 PM)
yeah, I wish to know too  unsure.gif
*
the splitter very cheap only. less than rm10
it's either wont affect frame-rate or the reduction is too small for me to get noticed.
so far so good wit game like FIFA08, ghost recon, assassin's creed tongue.gif
