I think you should grow up and get a job!
So,mommy and daddy still pays for your boxer shorts and provide money for your dates?

Its hilarious to know that there are some people who care about how others live.

yeah, I was like huh ? agree? agree on what ?

must ask ed1001, or ahbiao on this matter...

"Let the friendly folks at Gamer's Hideout show you the way." -gamershideout.com.my
I emailed them but never replied. The email I sent ages ago. Then why put email address in the first place.

It was scarier than I thought when I got there. What my friend told me about the place was that its literally a "hideout". I didn't believe it. It was a indeed hideout. The picture of the front from the website speaks differently. It looks like I was about to enter a mall or something.

Added on December 9, 2007, 9:17 pmOn the fact that "I asked them and they said go ask your TV vendor."
Duh? I don't know that? Its my first time buying a console.

So much for "Let the friendly folks at Gamer's Hideout show you the way."

dude, I was like asking who or which "guy" talk to you on this matter, I was blur that gamer's hideout agree on you on something.

which is why I ask. but I guess you didn't ask them thier name though. if is not me then who..

the part is; DVI, HDMI, VGA, I was asking on whether my display needs a converter and would it be a better buy to get a HDMI LCD TV (cheaper or more expensive than to get a big screen PC LCD that has no HDMI) the dude finally said "go ask your TV vendor". Like I didn't know that.

Ah, I see. Guess he don't know much on LCD or HD.

maybe is not Djiin...
there are some one else...
i wen there... but really face wat like xbox 360 said...
but Djiin is a little difference...
PM him here then you will get reply...

if u budget are rm 3k..go get 32' lcd tv la....there's no way u can get full hd tv without rm 5k and above....go get a job la...then buy....but if i were you i will not toss away my money for gaming solution...just stick with 19' lcd widescreen monitor are enough for me.....

No dude, the focus has shifted from the TV being used "just for my PC and Xbox 360" to "it will be in the living room as the main TV at home". Given the fact that it costs more than RM4k (credit card members, so its actually well over RM5k, MBF members only). Its also full HD (1920x1080), I witnessed the difference there and then between 720p and 1080p.

The dude had an Xbox 360 attached to the TV, and I did see some difference. However he said I won't really see much difference if I stood 8 feet away (recommended distance). True enough. Game tested was Call of Duty 3, he told me its a native 1080p game.

I was compelled to get a 720p display, but with the offer and the fact that its 1080p, I definitely got this TV booked down for me.

I have not purchased it yet. Those Dell people are quite stubborn when it comes to cancelling an order.

ps : I welcome more comments (and criticises).

lol!...not getting much love from Gamers Hideout huh? Chill bro...its all good...they got like too many customers anyway...1 more customer like you wont make any difference...i still go GH to get some stuff...they are really one of the best places to get your console fix.

but if I need to talk 'technical' or get advise, I'd go to Gamers Solution City Bazar (in front of pertama)..talk to bernard..he the man...cheers

Just get a Bravia X 70 inch and everyone will be happy.

No, I think I asked GH one too many questions on LCD HDTV.

Thanks for the info.

haha... ppl is like tat lo... always aiming for a best one...
haha... 720 and 1080 from 8 feet... not much difference...
hehe... see it in ur then you trust us???
well i always walk along all LCD TV in shopping mall..
so always see the difference in short distance... but can't really tell from 3 meter away...

Been scouring Panasonic, Sony, JVC, Toshiba, Sharp and finally Philips websites. I called them and asked about anything of 37" or 42" that has full HD. Even when they said they do have it, its ridiculously priced, well above RM5k.

I guess I will be settling for the Philips 37 PFL7422/98 1080p LCD TV. Its priced at RM4k for MBF card holders. Normal price above RM5k. Luckily they had one on demo, and like I said earlier, the quality was freaking awesome. My Halo 3 and NFS Pro Street can't wait to get out of their boxes...

May I ask where are you going to put the tv?

I will say that getting a full HD just for playing game is a waste of your money. If you say for you to watch movie, then it's ok. But for playing game.

The graphics appears on your display still depends on your game graphic. There is a limit how far the game graphic was created for that game. Even you have a super duper HD tv, but the graphic still stays how it was design in the first place.

May I ask, do you ever put your own position as a father, and 1 day your son come ask you " I want to get a 40''+ LCD tv, can I dad ? I'll promise to pay by installment "

Well, if I try to tell my parents that I will pay them back by installment, they will still ask me when I start working the only go and buy.

As far as I know, xbox360 dont support 1080p much. I dont know about HD-DVD add-on, i think it also is 720p. So if u r using xbox360, then using 720p is enough. Correct me if I'm wrong.

This post has been edited by kurtkob78: Oct 10 2016, 08:23 PM

Yeah, I know 720p is enough but I got lucky with the Philips. It just so happens they showed me the difference of 720p, 1080i and 1080p there and then itself on an Xbox 360. The game was Call of Duty 3. Standing 8 feet away, you can't tell the difference between 720p and 1080p. But closer, like 4 feet, you most definitely can. I know what I saw.

Your comparing COD 3?

LOL

Put Gears of War or COD 4 then stand from far and see.
