Bro, Resistance where can support 1080p. Can go max till 720p only

New Samsung Series 5 LCD TV are FULL HD. Price starts from RM3799 for 32". Potential buyers should seriously consider this panel. Now gamers can game @ FULL HD. Gone are the days where gamers will have to choose hard between a HD Ready panel and FULL HD panel

You are partially correct. If you sit far away, you won't notice the difference. However, if you were to sit closer to the screen, thats when FULL HD will beat the crap out of HD panel only.

Using Dell SP2208WFP sure beats the crap out of 32" LCD TV and 22" DVI monitor. This is because DELL SP2208WFP are able to receive 1080P signal and downscale it to 1680x1050. Excellent monitor for it's pricing. My Sharp 32" LCD TV looks OK running 720P for GT5P DELL wins hands down.

Ya, can display 1280x720P only. DELL can receive input signal of 1080P and downscale to 1680x1050. Smaller screen higher resolution, sure image quality looks better.

Yes, it does downscale to 720P if the title is of 720P, so there won't be difference between monitor and LCD TV. However, comparing 1080P title such as GT5P, the difference is huge. You can clearly see the jagged lines of the speedometer/rev meter

Yes, you are right!

I've boycott Phillips now. I thought it's a good brand but it's not. All Phillips products that i've used have limited lifespan (All KO before or nearing 3 years). 2 CRT monitors KO less than 3 years. 2 CD Player KO in 3 years.

No more Phillips for me.

Maybe you can consider their lightbulbs though.

It's not 3 years yet bro. Wait till 2009 Macam itu 3RROD . Phillips pantang number 3

orzayana, what a sexy setup. Make me steam only.

Sometimes chicken brand HDMI cable might not be able to out 1080p signal. I have 1 that can only d0 720p. Sending 1080p signal will causes blank screen once in a while.

It's true Bro. That is why I believe some people are willing to invest in MONSTER HDMI cables. It should guarantee that 1080p signal are able to pass through the cable.

Upgrading from SHARP 32" HD Ready to SONY BRAVIA 40" KLV40V550B. Brother's out there, if possible, try to get at least a 32" HDTV instead of a PC monitor. You'll never be satisfied of the size... I've upgraded from:-

22" DELL HDMI Monitor (1680x1050)
32" SHARP AQUOS LC32A33M HDTV (1366x768)
40" SONY BRAVIA V series KLV40V550B (1920x1080)

50"??? anyone???


SSJBEN, what setup you're currently using anyway? I see you must be an ULTRA gamer.. look at those Platinum throphies

When you cap ayam HDMI cables also have to becareful. Some can't display 1080P resolution. I faced that problem already. The signal goes on & off inconsistently ~_~.

Joey, I've looked through your ALTEC LANSING speaker specifications, it cannot support optical input thus there won't be digital sound (AC3/DTS).

Razaelx, whenever possible, go for 1080P full HD resolution. Don't believe others saying that 32" has no noticeable effects between HD panel & Full HD Panel.

Even on a 22" monitor, the difference can be quite noticeable provided you're running a 1080P title like Gran Turismo 5. The tachometer line on 1080P is so much smoother compared to a 720P 32" TV.

I've changed from a 32" HD Panel to a 40" FULL HD Panel mainly because of the support for 1080P.

Another advise is, I strongly recommend you to get the Sony V series. You'll notice the color is much more sharper & vibrant of compared to Sony S series. I'm a V series user & I assure you, it'll beat the crap out of the S series.

hope you don't mind me chipping in my 2 cents

If you're playing native 720P titles, then there shouldn't be much differences. If the title can run at 1080P, then there will be a noticeable difference not only on a 32" TV, even a 22" monitor can notice the difference.

hhhmm... no doubt if you want SONY, you got to pay an extra premium for their brand name. Functionality wise, other brands are comparable & some even exceeds SONY

That questions is very subjective. Let you eyes be the judge Razaelx

most likely is your cable. I had the same problem when trying to display at 1080p. Change HDMI cable & now it works flawlessly.
