any way to force it fullscreen?

tak syok la with crop

Just Bought Dell 19" at Lowyat RM639.00 Just try with PS3 with default support 1080i...

Just try 1080p and working perfectly....

is samsung works wit ps3???
LG???

ok I was pretty set on getting a 22", but now I hear about this cropping issue.. so only 24" will be capable of showing fullscreen @ 720p eh? even 19" won't make the cut? damn.

ANyOne here play ps3 with viewsonic?any comment please..

If the LCD support the 1:1 pixel mapping, there will be no crop issue. Widescreen LCD are 16:10 while PS3/Xbox360 are 16:9, thus the LCD need to crop it in order to fit the screen.

Even if you get 24" (1920x1200), you still need 1:1 pixel mapping support.

1920x1200 will be full screen under 1080p format but the image will be stretched to fit the screen. Through pixel mapping method, you will see black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. This is normal because it output the correct 1080p format.

use 22" LCD monitor to play ps3 (720p display)
see left & right
for xbox, no problem

thanks for the explanation bro!

hmm from the picture above, the cropping seems quite bad. so I need to get one with pixel mapping now, I don't think I can live with the cropping, it'll reduce the gameplay experience

any recommendations? does the Viewsonic VX2235wm-5 have pixel mapping? I was pretty set on that one.

edit: hmm after some reading it seems that only the Samsung 2253BW is capable of 1:1 pixel mapping. and it seems that only GT5P at 720p has this issue.. haih big decision to make here, the Samsung 2253bw is RM100 more expensive than the Viewsonic, and for a working student, that's alot of money..

to be honest.. all these pixel mapping 1:1 crap only matters before u buy a monitor..
after that it really doesn't..

i would recommend samsung monitor anytime.. its quality is top notch n price is very competitive
and we all know samsung has the best design

i just don't want my images to be cropped.. it's better that i equip myself with the knowledge beforehand than be disappointed later on, no?

Grab a LCD TV for the gest gaming experience. Even have sellers here in LYN selling 32-inchers @ RM1899.

Once you have the larger displays, you won't look back already on LCD monitors.

I've got a 24" DELL and 37" Sammy LCDTV. Once you go big, no way you're gonna go back to small.

student working part-time here to earn cash la friend, plus, if I buy a 32-incher, there's no way I can carry that into uni.. 'coz once I enrol, I'll be staying on-campus.

and if I use my dad's 32-inch, I can't play at nights.. only during the day when he's not around.. so have to settle for the best compromise.

still, I might consider just that..

Yes, the cropping are really bad. Some people can tolerate it while for most gamers, they would do away with the cropping. As far as i am concerned, most Dell model have 1:1 pixel mapping support but these brand are known for been expensive.

GT5P is a full 1080p game.

Of course the bigger would be the better but you need to know 37" is not the full 1080p format while any 24" LCD monitor can output 1080p full HD format. For LCD TV to output full HD, you need to get atleast 40" and above. It will cost you a bomb. Therefore, LCD monitor is the most ideal and cost saving option for playing PS3/Xbox360 consoles.

I have seen the comparison shot with many types of LCD TV brand and the best result is Sony Bravia model.

no need 32" inch lcd tv...how about go for dell 22" lcd monitor..got hdmi port

To Prazole,

I am not saying 1080p. All I want is to play PS3 with real PS3 rendering image and video and watch blu ray disk in the future. Is that OK?

Thank you.
