It has been explained so many times, for Sony products you are paying a premium for their marketing and packaging, while other brands' prices depend on the quality of their products

There is no video showing gaming on a 100Hz LCDTV?
I'm thinking of getting one of those.

man.. i saw this Philip model 42pfl5403 at courts, they put it side by side with Samsung and Sony Bravia and channeling same movie.. and it surely pawns those two. It displays movie like 60fps compared to 30fps on Sony and Samsung.. and looks cleaner. anyone here use this model?

Just came across this Acer G24 HD Monitor. Anyone tested it? Priced around rm1200-1399 i think. Don't know if they are selling it separately from the Predator CPU.

I'm using G24 Have to say it does what it should very well given its price. I bought it for RM1,388 last month.

Where did you buy it as I only saw it on newspaper that offers with the predator.

How does it fair against BenQ W2400 as both of them have the same spec other than G24 have higher contrast ratio.

Also how many years is the warranty?

Hi everyone. Just bought a Panasonic 32LX700MK for RM1499. My first HDTV. Have not done any research prior to the purchase , cos it's limited stock available and also within my budget. Anyone here with the same model, can share xperience?

That's cheap, where did you bought it?

I tot aso. Cheap. But it was a clearance sale from COURTS. They got 7days return policy if not satisfied and 1 year manufacturer warranty from Panasonic.

I bought it from a shop, comes with 1 year manufacturer warranty. Can't compare how it fares against other monitors as looking for a 24 inch is hard as rock here. It looks brighter and more crisp than the HP 24 inch one though, that's all I can say.

Care to share which shops carry them?

So far the other 24" are the BenQ & Samsungs.

Don't mean to be rude but I doubt it's useful if I tell you the shop name (which I forgot) since it's in KK. May be you try searching for Acer distributor in KL, there are few of them the last time I search.

Hi,

I'm planning to hook my laptop to a 32" monitor. I'm looking at Toshiba Regza. But I'm not sure if my laptop will support the resolution of 720p or 1080p.

Can you guy tell me what to look for when I shop for my new laptop. What do I have to take into consideration in terms of graphics card, resolution, etc?

Experience tell me most of the laptops output 1024 x 768.. but I'm no expert in this field, so don't take my words for it

I'm planning to get a HP laptop online. It have ATI radeon graphics card and also a HDMI output. So I'm just assuming it can connect to a HDTV. Not too sure about it, just my assumption & logic.

Anyone, connected their lappy's to HDTV before? 32" preferably.

of coz can la since its built with hdmi port to connect wif hdtv with hdmi port also..

Will the image on the HDTV be stretched? I'm just afraid that the image/icons will be very small on the 32. I don't wanna stare so close to the 32. I'm thinking the distance between my eye & the 32 should be about 3 feet. You agree?

At the distance of 3', the image/icon on the HDTV should be big enough so that I don't have to squeeze my eyed to look at documents or excel spreadsheets. You get what I mean? Therefore, before I invest in 1, I need to be 100% sure first. It ain't a cheap game after all.

IF u want to get a LCD for the sole purpose of becoming u'r PC screen, then i suggest u go with a LCD monitor instead? Why? Because the pixels for a 32 LCD TV is too big. Its just awkward to use a LCD TV for computer usage.

And to answer u'r question.. No the Image will NOT be stretched. U just have to make sure u're outputting to the native LCD TV display res.

Just FYI, surfing/working on a 19" LCD MONITOR beats a 32" LCD TV anytime. Its definitely more comfortable.

Is that true?

What about the pixels for a 1080p HDTV as my monitor?

When you said the pixels are too big, you mean to say that the icon on my desktop will look very big, thus, the image quality will deteriorate. Is that what you meant?

Another 1 of my concern is that while viewing images/icons on my laptop looks good & normal, but I'm afraid when I hook it up to the 32, I will see jagged edges on the icons/images. Can anyone please verify or add to this.

Why don't you try it on your monitor first? And see what resolution you'd get from your DVI/HDMI port.
