I thought of clearing this myth. As most of you guys are pretty much aware, lots of people commented that FULL HDTV at screen size of 32" does not make much/if not any difference compared to a HD READY TV. I do agree to a certain extent. If we were to watch HD movies, 720P vs 1080P really don't make much difference on a 32" LCD TV. Though there's difference, it's hard to notice.

When it comes to GAMING, 1080P really shows it's potential. A person can really notice the difference between 720P vs 1080P resolution. I've actually tested a 1080P title (Grand Turismo 5 Prologue) on my 22" DELL HDMI monitor as well as my friend's 32" FULL HD TV. The difference is very obvious compared to a HD READY TV. The speedometer has less jagged lines, has smoother edge and crispier.

Although the downside is, there aren't many game ttiles out there that supports 1080P output thus not maximizing FULL HDTV's potential in gaming.

To all those 'sinkalan' out there, please explain properly before giving advise to new LCD TV buyers. Do not simply mention that 32" FULL HDTV is useless.

*I do expect some guys will flame me since what I am saying goes against some guys here in the forum. But hey! I've actually tested it on a 32"FULL HDTV, 32" HD READY TV and a 22" DELL HDMI monitor.

I am sitting like 6 feet away from the screen on a 32" and the difference is obvious.

Ya, agree that not much games supports 1080P currently but future there should be more titles that supports 1080P. This thread was created merely to let potential buyers know that 720P vs 1080P resolution in gaming offers huge differences.

Nop! If XBOX 360 is able to support 1080P natively, it will benefit XBOX360 too

Mine is 720P. I bought it cos of those 'sinkalan' forummers simply saying that 32" FULL HD LCD TV don't make much difference.
That is why I am creating this thread to advise others before buying a LCD TV

Haha, what you say is true also. This I strongly agree.

Bro, the argument here is on 32" panels (HD READY vs FULL HD). If you are aware, there's a lot of folks that says both panel don't make much difference due to the small panel size. I stand by my word that 32" FULL HD TV does make a lot of difference in gaming compared to 32" HD READY TV provided the games are able to run at 1080P.

some folks derived their simplistic conclusion from playing many normal 720p games hence they feel not much improvement over HD ready TVs


I agree on the bold statement

Liew Freddy, how old are you? You understanding about PS3/XBOX360 displaying on LCD TV is totally wrong. Both consoles look great displaying on LCD TV compared to CRT.

Best LCD TV is of course FULL HD panel. Equipped with the right software (games running at 1080p), the result will be stunning.

If a particular game can only output at 720P, it doesn't matter FULL or HD Ready TV, both should look exactly the same (Not taking the quality of the panel into consideration ).
