Sony had not release any new models yet for the 32 inch', if I'm not mistaken. The model you've mentioned above is definitely a bit more advanced (with better specs) than the current Sony models, which cost about the same price.

Yes Sony Bravia is the best HDTV so far. Go for D, V or W Series. But your budget seem to me you only can afford S Series only maa

If you are planning to get Sony LCD tv, better wait a while. Recently they just launched W400 series which us Full HD for 32",40",46" and 52". After this S400 (low end), V400 (mid range) will be in market. S series most probably around end of this month or early next month. All models now high gloss for the tv stand and bezel. Much2 better than 07 models.

Consider sharp as well. Their Aquos line is pretty fantastic. Best way to decide is to watch the screens yourself! FYI, Sharp spent more time in LCD production business than Sony. They were the first to break into the LCD market.

really?
a 32" res is 1368x768 that's more than the usual 1280x768 that most laptops have today. and i browse just fine with my laptop. my concern would be multitasking, as there won't be enuf space to have multiple windows of browsers and word processors This post has been edited by Gurdian: Apr 6 2008, 03:23 AM |

Before I bought my 32D300A, I've tested playing PS3 games and BD movies on 32S3100A and Samsung R7 as two of my brothers own them. As a result, 32S3100A gives better PQ on both PS3 games and BD movies than R7. Then I went to Harvey Norman to compare between 32V300A and 32S3100A and the winner is 32V300A.
After doing some research on the net I found out that 32D300A gives better result than 32S3100A and 32V300A. So I ended up buying the 32D300A and I never regret I made the choice. All BD movies play fluidly as it has 1080p/24p True Cinema where it eliminates the judder. The 100Mhz also works well in games and movies. |

I bought mine at Unhuat Electronics (a Sony Authorised Dealer), opposite Alpha Angle, Wangsa Maju (just infront a Shell station). I remembered that they said that they still have a few units left when I bought one 2 weeks ago.
Here's a quote taken from avsforum regarding 100/120Hz effect in games QUOTE This is my test results running games on these new motion interpolated enabled TVs running GEARS of WAR and Halo 3 which also normally runs at 30fps. Samsung calls this technology Auto Motion Plus games runs 60fps about 80 to 90% of the time Sony calls it MotionFlow games runs 60fps about 50 to 60% of the time Philips calls it Digital Natural Motion or HD Natural Motion or TrimensionDNM Haven't tried it, haven't found one yet Mitsu calls it Smooth120hz Suck, hardly even notice its working, maybe about 10% of the time Toshiba calls it ClearFrame120hz JVC calls it LCD Clear Motion Drive II I'm not sure with the Sharp if they call it Fine Motion Advance. These motion enhancers are really cool for games. I still have yet to test it on the Toshiba, JVC, Sharp and on the Philips. I still want to try the JVC, Toshiba, Sharp source : http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showpost.ph...10&postcount=19 This post has been edited by tot31: Apr 6 2008, 06:56 PM |

Personally, I'd just recommend a 1080p lcd tv to you blu-ray fans. Philips got a 37 inch PFL7422 1080p tv around RM3k. Most places sell them around 4K though.

I don't think it's that easy to decide based on brand alone. Both Sharp and Samsung are equally good brands. You'll want to compare which particular model you're interested in. Samsung alone already has many series: S7, S8, R7, R8, and more recently the M series. Only the M series is capable of accepting 1080p signal. I can't comment on Sharp since I haven't used one personally.
I'm using the 32" R8 Samsung model. It has 3 HDMI ports and is 720p native. 360 games look bright and vivid on the TV. Unfortunately, it's not "perfect". HDTV lag can occur if you don't tune it properly. You can practically see framerates drop in games, and in movies it's even worse. I love the TV nonetheless, once you get down to finetuning it. Do you insist on only these two brands? If you're willing to broaden your option, I'd suggest looking at LG. LG recently released their new 32LB9R TV. It outputs at 720p, but can accept 1080p signal. And the price is only around RM2600. It's worth looking at. |

All display devices need tuning to look best. In the case of my Samsung TV, it's not just a matter of tuning the contrast, colour and brightness levels. There are also the colour mode (dynamic, standard or soft), movie mode (on/off), game mode (on/off), frequency (100Hz or progressive) and some others. I know some people who like to turn every option on when tuning their TV. At first glance, everything seems in order, until you start noticing lag in games or movies. I can't comment on other models or brands, but even so you'd want your TV to look its best by finetuning it.

^ The Samsung R8 is not a bad LCD TV but the horrendous viewing angle drops it a few point. Try to look at your TV slight off the side and u'll notice the screen will start to turn bluish. I know this happens with most LCD TV but the R8 seems to exhibit this more. Also, the reds are kinda over exaggerated but can be tuned down in the white balance. This used to be my gaming and movie LCD TV but after using it for about 6 months, I finally gave up on it. Having to adjust its settings everytime I watch a movie isn't that fun anymore.
Makes u wonder why they include the Dynamic setting when the results it produces are so contrasty to a point its almost unusable Lastly, I've tried tuning the color using Digital Video Essential Blu-ray disc. The greens and reds are way off and no matter how hard I tried, I can't make them look "right". The blue however is spot on. This post has been edited by welwitchia: Apr 16 2008, 10:02 AM |

actually if u really want a Full HD LCD... always go for 40" and above. Otherwise, u dont really utilize the HD to the fullest. It means that we cant really see the difference between HD ready and Full HD LCD.

From my survey
Panasonic -image quality is a little bit grainy even when watching BD. Samsung/LG (any model) -The worst image quality if u watch Std Def. Source. The worst black level detail. Good enough for HD source. Sharp -The best image quality at default setting. Expensive. Sony -Just nice for the price. Good image quality for Std Def source and HD. Have to tune a little bit to optimize viewing pleasure. High colour concentration -beautiful but un-natural. Toshiba -the best black level detail but the LCD TV design is not attractive. Philips -Build quality issues (a lot of complaint from consumers lately -send back to factory) |

IMO, the above survey is no longer accurate. Nowadays, many new models are out with better quality. A lot of them has great picture watching Blu-Ray and playing PS3.
My Astro picture looks like watching DVD on Samsung F8 Series 46" 100Hz Full HD LCD. For the black effect, they have Black enhancement function now. So problem solve. Btw, nowadays Sharp Aquos price is on par with other brands now. It is affordable. This post has been edited by BlueLotus: May 30 2008, 03:14 PM |

Getting FULL HD means that I will have to pay 1K+ extra. tough call  |

Please don't make dynamic contrast ratio as your buying preference. This figure can be misleading and it is just marketing 'hoo ha'. Every person has different eyes -just trust your own eyes and your budget.
For me, the best image quality for my eyes is Sharp aquos but I bought Sony Bravia S because of the budget (good price/performance(image quality) ratio). Note that this is my personal preference. |

Migrated from DELL 22" HDMI monitor to Aquos 32" LCD TV. I would say DELL display sharper images (nearing FULL HD) whereas my 32" LCD managed 720P only. Nevertheless it's always better to be playing on a bigger screen. Easier to snipe

When i switched from 22" to 32" it meant a world of difference for me, so yeah, 360 on 32" hits the sweet spot.

one day i visited a local arcade and i saw people playing tekken 6 on a 32 inch lcd tv. i'm amazed with the picture quality, the contrast level and colour...i took a peek on the back of the lcd panal and its sony klv32s310. i decided this is the model i should get. then i went to electrical shop, and found out the s310 is the older model and now replaced with s400. Later i surf the net( cnet) for reviews then found out Samsung series 4(according to the review), 32a450 is even better than sony klv32s400. and samsung a450 even cheaper than s400. now i'm lost and confused. samsung 32a450 == rm 2399 sony 32s400 == rm 2499 i prefer sony but after reading the review, samsung might be a better choice. what do you think guys? |

samsung series 4 not bad. i have 2, another one is sharp aquas 53m which have 100mzh.
in game, samsung better la cuz less ghosting. movie also better cuz this panel is capable to display 1080p signal.. which is reduce signal to 720p. another thing is this samsung panel can support 24p cinema mode. there is slighly improvement on the ghosting. tested with sweedny todd and 3:10 to yuma. sharp mah... it is much better in viewing tv show and DVD movie because of the help of the 100mzh signal. that's all~ |

Is the Panasonic 32LX800MK any good? Most of the electrical shops I went don't even have a display unit and the sale persons all discourage me from buying. Most of them asked me to buy Sony or Samsung instead. Any opinion? I am looking for a 32" LCD for PS3, Blue-Ray and also Astro.

I use bravia 32 400S for those. Astro is clear, wii is superb and also the dvd playback.
Last time I bought at Jusco and got 5% discount. For rm2499 i got RM2375. Warranty is the same like sony shop. Try n ask at Jusco whether there are still discount or not. (coz Jusco always hv sale) |

i really should listen to this guy, but i don't. don't make the same mistake as i did. "My suggestion is try keep out of Samsung LCD TV because of market pricing competition issue, they have gradually low grade their products & qualities. Instead you may consider on Toshiba, Sony or Sharp..... You will notice the differences even on the product weight itself. I was enlighted by a close pal which working in Audio Video division.

my advice to you...do not buy samsung!!!! i just bought samsung series 4 a week ago...after one day i got 2 dead pixel!! call the shop and they replaced it with a new set but also the new one got one dead pixel!!! now i just hav to accept my lcd got one dead pixel as the warranty don't cover for a dead pixel unless u got a lot of dead pixels. one more thing, there was one occasion i was watching astro discovery channel, and the sound was delayed..only after change channel it become normal again.

hey guys. if i'm on a low budget (<rm1k), and cannot afford HD-Ready LCD TV for my PS3, would it be better for me to buy 22"-24" LCD monitor (DVI/HDMI input, HDCP) or is it a better to buy a HD-Ready CRT TV (with HDMI input).. in terms of picture quality, both should be he same rite since both are only HD-Ready, and not full HDTV. btw, is it still possible to buy brand new HD-Ready CRT from shops and how much do they cost?

I finished the game already..so..i'm willing to help...just ask me.. FYI,between Sammy & Sony,i'm not sure about the diff in PQ from PS3 but according to "trusted sources" from the repair service here,Sammy got more "problem" compare to Sony.I'm not saying Sammy is not good as i got a friend here bought a Sammy Series 3 few week ago and so far no issue at all,maybe just luck lor. ok,here come the BD on Panny 37LX80MK :  Frankly,i dun see much diff between my previous sample TSB 32AV500E,unless putting them side by side,same source/wire/time/place.From my 1st impression,i found Panny is very good in contrast,i set it in Eco Mode,Brightness reduce to 42 and sharpness to 6,colour temp "cool",the rest maintance.Gameplay(Heavenly Sword) is still nice,superb colour saturation,more "natural" compare to TSB which looks a bit fake.Anyway,i dun think i'm in the position to judge the diff in PQ for both as i didnt compare both side by side.I'm juz sharing base on what i saw from both LCD,at diff time. BTW,anyone can share the setting of colour for Panny 37LX80MK as reference ? thanks in advance This post has been edited by myqd: Aug 19 2008, 06:45 PM |

Thank you for the info myqd...I need recommendations..
Basically i'm just looking for a reliable HDTV with superb clarity/sharpness/colour... Something in the RM2000-3000 price range..for gaming and movies.. If it has a PC input, it would be an additional bonus.. And can someone tell me what are HD signals..like (720p, 1080i, 1080p)...what does it mean??? And also contrast ratio (10000:1)...i'm new to TV's.. |

QUOTE(Hatter @ Aug 19 2008, 07:49 PM) Thank you for the info myqd...I need recommendations.. I'm no expert in this field, but to my knowledge and experience:Basically i'm just looking for a reliable HDTV with superb clarity/sharpness/colour... Something in the RM2000-3000 price range..for gaming and movies.. If it has a PC input, it would be an additional bonus.. And can someone tell me what are HD signals..like (720p, 1080i, 1080p)...what does it mean??? And also contrast ratio (10000:1)...i'm new to TV's.. What is HD? HD stands for high definition, in which case the industry standard is 720p, 1080i and 1080p. Standard definitions (480i) and enhanced definitions (480p) are not. What are all the fuss of SD, ED or HD? It's all about screen resolution. SD is 640x480 interlaced, ED is 640x480 progressive while HD includes, but not limited to, 1280x720 progressive, 1920x1080 interlaced and progressive. When a LCD TV says HD ready, then it's native is normally 1366x768, While Plasmas are either 800x600 or 1024x768. Full HD means native resolution is 1920x1080. Progressive vs Interlace Progressive is what you see on your computer screen right now, meaning all the vertical lines (eg. 1280x720, 720 is the amount of vertical lines) are displayed. Interlace is what you see on an old television set (must be older CRT TV), where you can see lines in between lines, and displaying only half the amount of vertical lines (thus 1080i is actually showing 540 vertical lines and yes, 720p is showing more lines). Contrast ratio? Don't let this thing fool you, every company comes out with the contrast ratio they claimed it would be. There's no industry standard setting for this, they are just manipulating with their own figures. Trust your own eyes with this when buying a HDTV. Set all the TVs on normal mode and play a dark scenery video, look for which TV that you can see the most detail from (like the cloud in the dark sky, the water in the sea, the lightings from outside a building). In short, contrast is the ability to see through the dark items as being dark rather being black like nothing on display and the clarity/separation between dark and bright items. Cables This is a very long story, but I'm not going to say which cable/brand is the best like most A/V equipment sellers. For HDTV, your best choice is always DVI/HDMI, both send digital signals. A RM5 DVI/HDMI cable can perform just as good as Monster Cables (upward RM500) if the cable is less than 5m long. Other method of obtaining HD signals are 15-pin D-Sub (normally and wrongly known as VGA, in which VGA is actually meaning 640x480 resolution) and component cables (the Red, Green and Blue cable, but please don't mistaken it as RGB cable, both are very different). Both are analog signals, and this time, cable quality does make some different. You'd like gold plated cables for analog signals, and thicker ones if you are planning to get very long cables (more than 5m) as to reduce the signal loss. For other equipments like Astro (can only display 480i), your best bet is S-Video cable. This cable will cause no "bleeding" on the screen unlike the normally used composite (yellow) cable. "Bleeding" is especially easy to notice on red objects with a black background where you see the red colour coming crawling out like how you colour over the line on an art work. What else? Ever heard of Bravia, DNIe etc? Those are the processing engines for display much like your graphics card, so I'm not going to comment much on this but remember to get a more easily fixed ones. LCD/Plasma/DLP are all well known for lower durability compare to their CRT counterparts so you may want to do yourself a favour by getting a more easily fixed ones. My opinion on TV engines is that, Bravia is rank among the bottom of my satisfactory list along with lousy brands like Haier etc. Another thing is the panel (also commonly called screen) which does make a big contribution to the picture quality. Another one of my personal comment is Sony's panel are as good as shit (they got it from Samsung by-product catalogue). That's all I can tell now (I'm at work). I could go on days and days talking on this, but I'm afraid I'd get banned for this. Remember one thing, trust your eyes and do your own settings on the TV when testing them, and make sure all are of the same size and using the same type of cable when comparing each of them. If you are refused to do so, buy somewhere else. Finally, do yourself a favour by not buying Sony's TV, thay have nothing comparable for their price other than their design. Buy it and watch them for hours and their ridiculous gamma settings will give you eye sore. Allow me to say this, when you are buying any flat panels, you are looking for the least worse display unlike the perfectly fine but bulky and "unsexy" CRT. Added on August 20, 2008, 11:59 am QUOTE(e30 @ Aug 18 2008, 01:34 AM) hey guys. if i'm on a low budget (<rm1k), and cannot afford HD-Ready LCD TV for my PS3, would it be better for me to buy 22"-24" LCD monitor (DVI/HDMI input, HDCP) or is it a better to buy a HD-Ready CRT TV (with HDMI input).. in terms of picture quality, both should be he same rite since both are only HD-Ready, and not full HDTV. btw, is it still possible to buy brand new HD-Ready CRT from shops and how much do they cost? I always have some space in my heart reserved for CRT. If you are using it solely for 360, PS3 or PC, then it all depends on the space occupied. If you are using it for something else like Astro, older consoles, CRT is your choice since it can display what they are meant to without compromising the PQ. The only problem is I can't find wide screen CRT locally (please let me know if anyone knows where to get one). For LCD monitor, look out for the resolution and make sure it's 1920x1200 so as to get the full out from your PS3.This post has been edited by gundamalpha: Aug 20 2008, 12:03 PM |

different people different taste after all...me, having bought samsung series 4 very2 not satisfied.. i wish i bought other brand instead... make sure when u buy your samsung lcd ask the seller to give you at least one week zero dead pixel guarantee. i haven't experience other brand but this samsung for sure got ghosting effect. other thing is, when i play games like alone in the dark or bioshock in dark scene areas, the colour looks like when you set your pc to 8 bit colour. |

Yep, although Samsung does make very good panels, their response time are pretty weak on lower-mid range, thus ghosting effects. However you could set it to game mode to improve it, but at the same time sacrificing something else like contrast etc. Some LCD manufacturers that are really good after several testings include LG (best for its price), Toshiba and Sharp. The rests are bearable to poor for gaming (although I'm impressed with Panasonic's scaling engine). Like I said earlier, you are looking for the least worst when you are buying flat panels, so don't expect it to be as good as good old CRT or true PC flat panel monitor (that's another discussion).

on specs samsung response time fast indeed, 6 ms... i only experience ghosting in dark areas...playing gears of war is perfect even on dark areas like the place you got into where there's heavy rain and you need to find factory entrance. one thing i still confuse...for x360, vga vs component..... when i use component, the colours vibrant, picture very sharp but in dark areas/shadow it become too dark and you don't see much detail. when i use vga(no hdmi), the colours washed out, picture blur..but in dark areas/shadow you can see a lot more detail. setting the reference level to expanded mode improve the colour but still not as good as component and it still a bit blurry. any suggestion? or is this normal?

Hmm.. let me think how to answer your question. You get RGB from from VGA (thus many manufacturers named it RGB input) and component has different colour ratio (lots of green and less blue & red). Technically, DVDs are set/designed/manufactured/optimized through component. But that doesn't mean that RGB is worse than component. It all depends on how good the TVs engine receive the input and translate it to the screen.
But since you said VGA has better contrast, I would suggest you to stick to it and set your resolution to 1280 x 768 on your 360 (if your TV is 1366 x 768 native). Don't worry too much regarding the colour, a lot of people think that vibrant colour + crisp brightness = great PQ, but in reality the best picture is always deeper and less vibrant after calibration. One very important thing I forgot to mention is when you play on LCD, make sure the surrounding is bright enough, while the opposite for Plasmas (the darker the better). This is often a mistake to many people who try to set up a dark home theater with LCD. And if I assume you are using a 32" panel sit about 5~7 feet in front of it to get the best view (or 5 times the height of the screen). |

i guess your fact is true because i once said to myself after playing around component/vga...i should use component for dvd playback and vga for gaming. but that too much hassle. i'm using 40" - la40a450...sit 7 feet from the screen, at this distance vga pq is sharp actually, but if i sit 5 feet from the screen i'll start noticing the blurriness compare to component. |

It may be your contrast is set too high.. and since you said some places too dark try lower the contrast and increase brightness until you someone beside you said ok. Don't rely on your eyes too much when adjusting as the setter may be "blinded" after a while staring on the TV.

QUOTE(wunan @ Aug 25 2008, 10:37 AM) so far i know the worse LCD tv is SAMSUNG (from own experience just bought one). Which is also why I've been avoiding Sony's BRAVIA ever since they switch over to Samsung panels. Although dead-pixels aren't as big as a problem on the BRAVIA, I'd rather play it safe and go for Sharp, LG or Pana instead.weakpoint of samsung : dead pixel. yesterday i went to JUSCO, and i can't help myself but to notice dead pixel on samsung lcd which is on display..other brand seem okay. samsung = king of dead pixel. |

No matter the S series Bravia, RM999 for a 32" is a freaking steal.

I not sure what is the different btwn LC-32A53M and LC-32A33M running in PS3. But when i get the LCD that time, the seller which i know quite well coz we get all our electronic stuff from him more than 10 years ago. He told me the price is not much different but you must know what is your viewing purpose. If for TV then LC-32A33M, if Bluray then go for LC-32A53M. Of course that one is 100Hz sure is better and now i think have 120Hz already.
But when i run PS3, it just stated as 1080i with 60Hz. |

^as far as i know both LC-32A53M and LC-32A33M re hd ready only. thats why if u use this lcd with ps3, the highest setting it can get is 1080i or 720p
about the refresh rate, ps3 only send a 60hz signal to the tv, the tv itself will outputting 100hz if i'm not mistaken This post has been edited by figure8: Oct 5 2008, 10:01 PM |

Which Aquos are you implying to? There are too many different models of 32" Aquos.
The 32LG30 is the better choice for gaming however IF you are comparing to the Sharp LC-32A33M/LC-32A53M. |

Depending if they are "stuck" pixels or dead. If they are stuck, you can still easily get rid of them, but they're dead.... then thats it. i hope i didn't read your post.... but waht can i do to make it gone? If they are just stuck pixels, you can play a movie which has alot of fast moving colors or best yet play a game which has them(avoid gritty games like Gears of War). If you have a PS3, fl0w, Super Stardust HD are good choices. On the 360, Braid is a great choice. If not, then try watching a movie with less dark scenes. |

Between the Sharp Aquos SHP-LC32A53M ( 100 Hz ) and the Sharp Aquos Designer Edition , The best would be the Sharp Aquos SHP-LC32A53M ( 100 Hz ) especially using it for gaming like PS3 & Xbox360...

100Hz actually doesn't make much different with the ordinary 50Hz or 60Hz. Although the 100Hz do make the motion smoothly or more noticeable, but can you really catch up with your eyes?

QUOTE Be careful about 100hz Lcd panel. I read a review which says that it makes the picture look very amateurish. For me I would prefer just the regular 60hz panel. After all bluray movies are only 24fps and fast moving pictures are suppose to have motion blur to look like fast moving. 100hz tends to make the fast moving picture look static therefore not giving you the sense of motion. I guess that is why the reviewer says 100hz Lcd panel tends to make pictures look amateurish. After reading this statement, I'm pretty sure I won't regret to choose a regular 60Hz LCD panel. Although those 100Hz are the best choices but unfortunately my dad not allow me to choose what I want. In addition, I heard that the LCD panel will not face the flicker problem so the 100Hz refresh rate only made the different within the CRT TV to solve the problems.

I like slim bezel design like Toshiba Regza 32RV530. Don't like those thick thick bezel, makes your TV looks big but the viewing area small.
Any other slim line bezel series? |

Technically, HDMI carries audio & video. Try wikipedia for HDMI. Usually this works for Blu-ray players.

QUOTE(Neo_Y @ Nov 6 2008, 09:16 PM) After reading this statement, I'm pretty sure I won't regret to choose a regular 60Hz LCD panel. Although those 100Hz are the best choices but unfortunately my dad not allow me to choose what I want. In addition, I heard that the LCD panel will not face the flicker problem so the 100Hz refresh rate only made the different within the CRT TV to solve the problems. The 60hz versus 100Hz versus 120hz panel refresh rates would not make much of a difference to your naked eyes. IMO, for gaming and fast motion video, the other important thing is the response time: look for one that has 6ms response or less so that you don't see the ghost or motion blur. When look for full HD (1080p @ 1920x1080 resolution), make sure it can really also support the full 1920x1080 using the PC VGA/DVI port. A lot of cheapo manufacturers claim Full HD but when connected to PC, the best resolution it can support is only 1366x768 this is only 720p or upscale to 1080i. Some manufacturers cheat on buyers this way by not revealing what the tru resolution is when connected to a PC. If possible, go to their demo room with your laptop and PC-VGA-DVI connector and try it out, and change the resolution. If you can read the text with the highest supported resolution (1920x1080), that means it is a good display. Of course, your laptop graphics card must also be capable of displaying this mode. For colour and contrast, look for the deepest black with highest contrast ratio: at least 10000:1. This post has been edited by danmooncake: Nov 10 2008, 12:57 AM |

I'm thinking of connecting my laptop to 1080p or 720p HDTV (depends on my budget for the TV). I'm using Ati Radeon X700 on my HP laptop. How do I check the refresh rate for my graphics card? Well, since I won't be using my laptop for gaming, I guess the HDTV's refresh rate won't really be a matter when viewing documents, pictures, or internet on my laptop.IMO, for gaming and fast motion video, the other important thing is the response time: look for one that has 6ms response or less so that you don't see the ghost or motion blur.

The only thing that concerns me about the refresh rate & resolution is when connected to my Xbob 360, this is where I wanna have the full HD experience. Already got a good sound system. Just need a good 32" only. Planning to buy from U.S, because I'm currently studying here. Gonna graduate in Dec. I just gotta look a the power supply whether its 120v or 120-240v. Please advice. |

I guess i need to grab panasonic Viera TX-32LX800MK next month. i owned a 37 sharp aquos a53m model which i bought last year(for my xbox 360),just the right size for viewing distance of 8 feet(in my room),i only regretted that i didnt buy 100hz sharp,cos it cost me extra rm500,nearly rm4.7k. it does have a difference to normal 50/60Hz,with my naked eye....just load the half-life 2, DVD disc,u can c a chopter flying clearly on a 100hz LCD,not on mine 50hz/60hz LCD,or others fast pace sports. or u can try BIOSHOCK,with graphic quality TURN ON. i really suggest u guys to spend abit extra for 37inch for better viewing,whether its in ur room,or living hall. thinking of getting a philip 42 inch 100hz LCD for my gaming purpose. i recommend to get LCD/PLASMA from a shop name LEGEND(sri petaling,old klang road or ss2),their price is ok,compare to sengheng/best denki or harvey norman. |

I am also looking, but for something Full HD around 37 - 42 inches (as I know diff brands have diff sizes). Currently looks like going for the new Aquos as it's quite competitive in price and I heard the quality is one of the best as well. However one thing that has ALWAYS been puzzling me, is the 100Hz that important? My friend has the 37 inch with 100 - 120HZ Aquos and even he says that he never sees that function come alive before. so I was wondering is it really worth it to spend extra on the Full HD + 100Hz or should I just go for Full HD or just 100 Hz?

Go for a Sony Bravia, preferably one series older, so it'll fit your budget, they go well with the PS3s especially.

QUOTE(htkaki @ Nov 14 2008, 06:59 PM) Dynamic Contrast Ratio as bro htkaki quoted above, he insisted the LG is better choice for gaming, but still say Sharp is better though.. any particular reason y ure saying Sharp is better too b4 i go out n get either one? seems like LG is twice the contrast ratio and slightly cheaper than the sharp.. oh the dilemma~ 32LG30 - 15,000:1 32A33 - 7,500:1 Both response time is 5ms. I guess 32LG30 would be a safer bet for gaming. However, Sharp PQ is nicer. Both comes with 2 yrs warranty. |

Contrast ratio are manufacturer's proclaimed figures. If you were to compare both panel side by side, you might notice SHARP will have better quality pictures. BTW, SHARP LCD panel is made in Japan unlike LG which is made in Korea/China.

the day i went to harvey norman to purchase lcd tv , my first choice was LG 32"...cause the tv had a great dynamic contrast ratio + 4ms response time...plus the price are below 2k..but after comparing with sharp aquos LC32A53M ( 100Hz ) side by side , i can see the real quality of sharp LCD TV..even the technical guy at harvey norman said...sharp is the best for gaming and watching BD movies..so sharp is my final decision..

@gundamalpha: whoops.. even worse than i thought..
@kamenrider: i think it wud only benefit full hd if u own a >40" lcd tv.. or else i dun think the naked eye cud differentiate 720p with 1080p on a 32" although 32" is comfortably big enuf for a bedroom.. regarding 100hz ermm yeah it is necessary if ure more into sports or live action as the motion will be smoother than what standard 60hz cud offer.. |

If you play any pre Dreamcast consoles, the max resolution is 240p (we call it true low res), for eg. Neo Geo outputs 280 x 224 resolution. For analog broadcasts it varies significantly from 22X~36X x 1XX~28X.

There are various odd resolutions, ranging from 2XX~3XX x 1XX~2XX, depending on channels and even programs.Edit: Here is one of the many articles that explain conventional TV.. not too friendly but you can get the picture reading through it. where did it mention 224p? and also progressive? a sdtv only will accept standard definition signals, that is either pal/ntsc/secam. any video signals need to comply to such definitions in order to be able to be displayed by the tv. if the signal is lesser than 525/625 lines, how will the tv be able to interpret the signals? |

im planning to get a 32 inch LCD tv but in imo can we see difference when using full HD compared to HD ready as 32" is small and full HD LCD is quite xpensive and not many games are in full hd yet.

I beg to differ as there are differences between HD and Full HD....It's just that it is not that noticable when you view it on a 32" screen. Full HD panels are not that much more expensive nowadays compared to a few months ago. To me I think a 100Hz/120Hz panel helps more in gaming especially when you play a lot of action/racing/sports titles with a lot of on screen movements. |

Yup there's a difference all right.
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/863978 It all boils down to the sensitivity of your eyes, and of course the viewing distance. |

Stop posting statements like "there is no difference between HD Ready and Full HD on 32inch".
You're bound to confuse potential LCD TV buyer here. The image quality of 1080p even on 32" TV is alot more sharper and crispier compare to 720p. From what I notice, Philip's image quality is poor compare to Sharp or Sony. This post has been edited by tanghm: Dec 14 2008, 12:40 AM |

For HD Ready 32", I only consider these brands Samsung Series 4, Sharp Aquous 33M, Sony S.
Sharp Aquous cannot accept 1080p input at all (will show no signal), Sony S confirm can accept 1080p input but displaying it at a scaled down resolution (HD Ready only mah), Samsung Series 4 not sure. |

QUOTE(S4PH @ Dec 19 2008, 10:44 AM) looks like i have to bring my ps3 when i wana buy my HDTV to check properly. This is seems to be the best way to test out the TV if you don't mind bringing along that heavy thing. Try testing out the PQ with different settings and cables. Here are my 2 cents on 32" gaming TVs :1. If possible get panels with high refresh rate (100/120Hz) if you play a lot of action/racing/sports titles with a lot of on screen movement. Not really necessary if you mostly play Tatical/RPG/Sim games. 2. Fast screen response time is a must. Don't get anything higher than 6ms. 3. Full HD is optional. Only get it when you are really picky about high resolution graphics. 4. Test the TV with other media like local TV broadcast, Astro, DVD and Blu ray to get the best overall function out of it. 5. If possible compare a few TVs side by side (with same settings) to see the difference and choose the one you like the most. Here are my picks for 32" LCD : 1. Panasonic Viera 32LX800 (The one I'm using at the moment. 100Hz. Very good overall performance) 2. LG LG80FR (One if latest model. Have a kick ass sound system) 3. LG LG53FR (One of the cheapest Full HD panel around...I think  )4. Samsung A550 (Another cheap Full HD panel. Not as cheap as LG though) 5. Samsung A650 (Slightly expensive but produce very good PQ) 6. Sharp Aquos LC32A53 (Another 100Hz panel. Seems to be the most popular LCD around at very affordable price) 7. LG LG30FR (best value for money gaming LCD but don't expect much from it) |

QUOTE(tanghm @ Dec 16 2008, 04:42 PM) @vorchiel With that price 32lg53fr is RM1994 selling at HLK and not 2.5k =.=" So its only RM300 extra and not 0.8k extra , I think it is the cheapest full HD 32" LCD TV available now. Is that special member price or ???Any owners of 32lg53fr? Feedback needed ... and can it accept 1920x1080 PC input? |

32LG53FR can accept VGA input of 1920x1080 @ 60Hz with GTF timing. By default, this resolution is not selectable from the resolution slider (I don't know why), you will need to create custom resolution via the NVidia Control Panel.
Sorry for ATI owners, as you cannot create custom 1080p resolution and by default, this TV doesn't have this resolution in the resolution slider. Let me tell you my frustration with the VGA input, this TV does not even support 1680x1050@60Hz !! But 1680x1050 is supported via DVI->HDMI (Digital input) My colleague just bought this 32LG53FR at RM1994 early this month at HLK Electrical chainstore, so this price is for real. |

Now thinking between Toshiba Regza 32AV500E or Sony KLV32T400A...pening. Toshiba is RM1699 and Sony is RM1999......Sony got 2 yrs warranty and also free Sony DVD Player plus a RM100 rebate which bring both to same price bracket......any user of the above mentioned model can give feedback? Thank you.

I dont have an XBOX360, I can't confirm that for you. I have only tested 1920x1080 on VGA cable using my computer here, and that also need to set it via custom resolution.
Older generation of XBOX360 can output 1920x1080 via its VGA jack ? Maybe you should try it with a computer monitor that is capable of displaying 1920x1080 via VGA first. This is the resolution table taken from the User Manual This post has been edited by tanghm: Dec 21 2008, 06:52 PM Attached thumbnail(s)

My 32LG53FR Comments
Pros - 20' Swivel Stand, I can face the TV to my bed or default - XD Engine dynamic contrast switching produces high quality black level - Full HD !! Capable of 1920x1080 resolution via VGA or DVI->HDMI from PC input - Multi functional remote control, you can control your DVD player and ASTRO with it !! (Need to set the device code into the remote first) Cons - Sound quality is not that great (coz speaker is facing downwards) - A little bit of image bleeding (image shadowing) on the image when connecting it via VGA input. Noticeable only when looking closely. (take note theGOne) - One stuck green pixel on my unit T_T, noticeable only at 2 feet distance @defaultname365 Philips ? Ever wonder why not many recommend Philips here ? =.= |

Hey guys...... am in KL to usher in the new year and saw the 32LG80FR series in best denki with price of RM 2799. Is that the best price or is it dodgy? And plus they were saying the HDMI cables are finished and instead giving out some watch and RM150 cash voucher. Cacat? Anyhoo the model is 100hz response time, full HD support 1920x1080, no probs with sound either and has contrast ratio of 50,000:1! Too good to be true!
I'm getting it for PS3 and BD of course. And since it has killer sound I can save up having to buy a seperate system. It's fer my room with viewing distance 4 feet or less. Oh forgot to mention the response time is 5ms. Sounds a pretty good deal? Planning to get it in Penang. PS: Saw this in 1-U......Wat's your opinion guys? Am torn between this and Sony V-Series/ Sharp Aquous.......... |

Just went to harvey norman survey around...they say if for games go for samsung 32" because of the high contrast ratio, whereby sharp is for realism PQ only....hrmm so now my decision also got doubts already....

Higher refresh rates also introduces input lag.
It may be rather subjective as it differs from one another though. |

Today my father have already bought new LCD TV, Panasonic TX-32LE8MK, RM1899 if i'm not mistaken. May I ask, this LCD TV can use with PS3 and blueray player or not? Because If I have budget, planned to get PS3 console. This LCD TV not so good on handling astro broadcast. Channel like RTM,TV3 and TV9...aiyoh..really blurrrr... but for astro homemade channel like Ria, Hitz TV and On Demand, the picture is a bit good... need to but monster THX cable lah...

Don't expect miracle to happen with this cable (sorry to other owners). It will only improves the PQ marginally. Lesser artefacts and sharper picture. You wont get DVD quality like PQ by using it as the problem lies in Astro's broadcasting system and those RF channels.Actually, a decently made S-video will suffice. Try to get one from hypermart. |

Thats the bad thing of back-firing speakers. |

It is because Astro was still "analogue" broadcast (even they transmit it in digital broadcast)., Astro picture will be good in LCD only if they change their transmission to HD. But when it will be happen, just wait and see.., hope it is before 2020 Actually, a decently made S-video will suffice. Try to get one from hypermart. and astro will give free decoder replacement for HD Transmission (just hoping) |
