720P also looks good of course bigger the better,but most PS3 games support from 480P to 1080P,so any of these resolutions u still get HD quality,1080P needs LCD more than 24".

I'm also using Samsung 206BW. So far so good...works fine for me tho I suspect mine is a C panel. The panel info has been removed from the secret menu but my lcd is made in China Anyhoo, no complaints.


You can find out how to set up the PS3 with LCD monitor from this thread http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/556275

hi...can anyone help me out?

i'm thinking of getting the philips PFL 9532. specs like this, full HD, 3ms response, 100Hz, 1080p 24fps and 3HDMI.

i compare this with the older LCD's tv, and this one no jerky picture when got action on screen. but my friend say Philips lousy brand. and better go for Plasma.

anyone can share some thoughts on this?
thanks.

I got one 47'' 9532 at home Dont hesitate..its powahfull..you will definitely like the ambience light...must hang on wall to get its full potential..well if you have 14k to spare for TV..i dont think you have problem with hanging it..and hack the wall to hide the wires..cheers

My sitting distance would be 10ft on rocking chair...for that 47''

cool...got one user. so its a worth buy? i'm looking to use it for astro, dvd and ps3/xbox. just that some ppl said plasma will win it hands down. but looking in the shop, the quality was much better than panasonic's plasma. so would u recommend for astro/dvd/ps3???

only thing is that i'm getting the 42" la....47" outta budget. wife pulling ear ....

Hey guys got a problem here...

I tried attaching my new Component cables to my PS3....thing is there is no picture at all what am i doing wrong?

I setup the colors accordingly in the right port i think....but still no picture..

the old composite cables work fine...but the new component ones there is no picture or sound...I got the cables from PA, its the official PS3 composite cable.

Pls help...any guides on how to setup?

sometimes you have to tell your tv that the input is coming from component source....my dvd player also same problem when using component cable

is altec lansing speaker 2.1's speaker?i saw the ps3 audio guide that need 2.1 speaker

yes altec lansing speakers are 2.1. 2.1 basically means 2 speakers n 1 woofer and the guide says 2.1 speaker bcos its the cheapest n most convenient solution unless u haf a home theater set wit an optical input amplifier/ receiver n all.

i see.save my money.thanks

Err..full hd panel LCD TV and you want to watch ASTRO..1 answer - NO GOOD ..you're definitely not gonna like the grainny picture..its not just philips..almost all full hd lcd tv..thats the main reason shops not showing astro on LCD anyway...we buy full hd for HD content..

PS3 / Blue ray
DVD - play with PS3 because it can upscale
Astro HD -> maybe in 1 year time

Good luck in your purchase...its a good TV with 5yrs Philips warranty...

I CAN VOUCH FOR THAT..

Astro on HD looks like crap...its not the TV but rather Astro's signal and the cables involved as well..

thanks for the info ka3tro and hitman190. so means i'll have to just accept the grainy picture on astro, until they stream HD content.

does astro have component output? if u use component, it's still the same? sigh. so complicated one.

i'm planning to get the philips ambisound system, which can upscale to 1080p. can astro be upscaled?

so far all i know is that Astro will be nigh impossible to get streamed into HD...even the shows like Nat-Geo and WWE Raw which both are HIGH DEF cannot be seen in high def mainly cause of Astro's signal..

in fact, Astro looks much better on a standard def TV then it does on a HDTV

damn....looks like i'll move my current tv to the bedroom for astro. hopefully astro offers HD soon. i guess we cant have it all. but plasma not as clear as lcd...in my opinion..thats d problem

sorry me noobie, can i ask u why there is a so big diffrents btween the 50 kuro price n the 42?

8k is still reasonable but er omg 30k?

and yeah which is better for general use? plasma or LCD? the main use of the TV is for gaming and watch astro but seldom watch movies.

sorry noobie here im deciding to get one in few months time but after browsing tru the topic still kinda blur

im using Kenwood amp for my ps3 with huge speakers.I tried using my sonic gear 2.1 system is just not enough punch,so i dismantle my hall AV amp coz seldom use redi,But the amp uses a Dolby surround so i cant utilise the Dolby Digital sound as the amp cant input AC-3 digital input ,so maybe wana get a amp with AC-3 and then use 5.1 audio i guess it will certainly make a huge difference in sound quality and stage.

dun call urself a noob(and i'm not a pro)...jz browse through the web and u'll find alot of info..

kuro 42" i guess will be great for astro, gaming i'm not sure..i heard some tried it on ps3, and they were happy wif it

kuro 50" got 2 version, 1 is hd-ready and the other is full hd...hd ready is arn RM15k

lol i call myself noob bcuz after reading i still dun understand what is those DVB-T, RCA AV n so on stuff so beta ask the sifus here ( like u ) lo

i have check there are 2 version of the kuro 42. one is advance and another is the normal one.

after briefly read tru it. i found out one of the diffrence btween the normal and d advance kuro is that the advance version have ISF Calibration and have many sound option while the normal ones dont.

srsly the ISF Calibration sounds tempting but dunno can really b gud on the ps3 or not. but heck if is way above 10k my budget beta stick to kuro 42.

btw do u tink is worth it for the kuro 50 and is only HD ready and it cost 15k?
gota check out this weekend if is that damm gud lol i dun mind saving another few months lol maybe by few months time d price will drop and i will get the kuro 60 instead (in my dreams lol)
but at the moment i stick with the kuro 42.

btw any other recomendation bside d kuro? LCD will be fine 2. aslong is great for astro and gaming lol i noe im being unreasonable for having a TV that is great for astro, gaming and movies. haha cuz this my 1st flat screen tv sure abit hope for the best lar. but hey no harm asking maybe there is one out there.

cheers
