My KLV-32S400A and PS3 finally working perfectly together! Now I have my LCDTV display at 720p/1080p. The problem was, as I might have guessed it, my capalang HDMI cable. laugh.gif

Sorry bad quality. Just a handphone shot. LOL

I would like to know does it make big difference whether a Computer Monitor can out put Full HD or less than Full HD for smaller size around 20" to 24".

Also do we need Monitor to have HDCP if planning to use it on a PS3?

Another question, what are the options for Full HD TV that's under RM4000? I saw a toshiba Regza 32" is selling at US999, not sure the price and availability over here.

FUll HD LCD TV at 4k is quite hard to obtain, I've never seen it btw. Even the premium Sony S and V Series won't go that low of a price.

many people have reiterated again and again, that anything below 42" isnt worth buying for 1080p,since you wont see much of a difference(if any at all)

Well, not really. Depends what u use it for. And most importantly how far you sitting behind the TV? For me I might consider hooking up a PC as a monitor too, might also play new PC games on it, so I do believe resolution does matter even on smaller screen size.

If you are always watching from a distance like watching movies, I agree with you. I'm so used to my 15.4" laptop monitor i'm sure 32" TV pixel will look way too big (if i use it as a monitor) compared to my monitor if it's not 1920x1080 resolution.

If not manufacturers won't be selling high resolution 24" Monitors right?

What connection you using? I tried it on a 1380 32" before using VGA input, seems the text not as sharp as using my laptop, but quite near. Maybe try switching to digital HDMI or DVi to HDMI might help.

Ok then... maybe I'll get a 720p 32" TV and a 26" 1920x1200 monitor.

Save the fuss of switching between TV and monitor and won't have to worry about getting laughed because I bought a 32" Full HD TV when it seems obsolete to 99% people...

Also won't get eye shore because of using a bigger TV as a Monitor...

If so I would be happy because I won't have to worry about upgrades in the future since 720p is good enough, and technologies can't make human eyes improve that much to tell the difference.

Thanks for the response.

Save ur money and get the 720p. Didn't you read all the post above? (Just joking)

Based on our fellow forumers: "Nobody can tell the difference between 1080p & 720p for 50" below." & "Nobody will sit so close to a TV to be able to tell the difference". But seriously I've been to Best denki, Sony Stores, Harvey Normans, but I really dunno what resolution demos they use so I cannot make comments whether 1080p is worth it or not below 50". It would be best if you can go to individual shops and ask them to play 1080p & 720p together (on the same size TV) and see for yourself.

Hope Toshiba will release their Regza 32" FULL HD TV soon over here, they are selling it in US for merely USD999, cheaper than those 720p Sonies. It would be a good idea to wait a month or two as I believe makers are starting to release 1080p on 32" LCD and hopefully 720p will be replaced.

Follow what your feeling tells you. If you can afford the additional few hundreds to get Full HD, get it. I'm sure even at a Pityful 32" you will be able to tell the difference, just remember to sit close enough.

HD TVs are meant to be watch closer than conventional TVs so you can experience the details. If you plan on sitting far away like you used to, you don't even need HD TV, CRT TV are good enough in terms of details and you don't need to stretch your RTM1,2,3 & Astro so they look fat.

That's my conclusion after few days of searching and debating. The rest is up to Hands-On Visual Inspection haha. But 1st need to find a shop that i can do that...
