I used to connect my DELL XPS to a Sony W400 which is Full HD. Its perfect when u use to watch movies but frankly speaking, sucks for PC usage. No, the icons will not look big and ugly. Its just that its impossible to sit a few feet away and work on a 40" LCD. You will go blind for that. Its really simple, just grab a VGA cable, drive to the shop and ask for permission to connect to their display set. Most of them will gladly oblige. Then u will have a much better idea. No point asking here since we can't give u a reasonable answer. QUOTE(P.I.M.P @ Oct 21 2008, 01:21 PM) 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.

No point asking here since we can't give u a reasonable answer. I thought about what you said, going to the shop & test it out. But sometimes when I think about, I'm not sure whether M'sian electronic store sellers & their mentality will allow me to do so. Well, I'll try it out next year in SenHeng or or electronic stores. Hope they allow me to. I'm sure here in U.S ppl will allow me to do so. They'll be more than happy to guide me. Thanks for the info.

Between LG30 and Sharp A33, which is the better TV? Both are rather close in price.
Just want to know if either of these has overscanning problems?

QUOTE(Midnight @ Sep 15 2008, 09:37 PM) Legend Electric Centre, SS2, PJ. Its next to Murni mamak so you can enjoy a Spaghetti Marylamb + Milo Shake to celebrate your new tv.  I went there yesterday night and ask for the price for LA32A550P1R, they offer me Cash & Carry RM 2500. Then I told them why so expensive, I claimed someone bought from u only RM 2300 ..... must be my face punya pasal

32LG30 is it better than LC-32A33M? I'm actually looking for LC-32A53M, but I finally bought the 37LG30 due to its superb promotional price.
Well, I'm here for some suggestions. For you, LC-32A53M and 37LG30 which one will you choose? Better image quality VS bigger screen size...

The expression "bigger is better" actually makes a pretty reasonable guideline when you're trying to decide on TV screen size. That's because we occasionally hear people wishing their TV's screen was bigger, but rarely hear them wishing their screen was smaller.
By the way, so far I know TV's screen size should depend on how far you'll be sitting from it, what you'll be watching, and your personal tastes and preferences. But I don't know why my father keep on argue with me when I select a 32" one. He said that, bigger is better then bought me a 37" one at almost the same price compare with that 32" one I chose.
Well, so what is your point of view?
