Flat Panels: LCD LED Plasma

Let's talk about anything about video games, no matter what platform it is. What is your favorite game? Who is your favorite character? What are the recently released games? What is DLC (downloadable content)? How do I beat this boss? How do I set up my team?

What everyone thinks about playing PS3 on LCD monitor?

I cannot afford to buy HDTV's but i want to experience at least 720p - 1080i on LCD monitor, pwede ba?

Can someone recommend me a cheap LCD monitor that can do at least 720p under 20K budget?

Basta post nyo magandang LCD monitor na pwede sa PS3, can this LCD monitors support HDMI?

Guide us po. Tinanong ko na po to sa isang forum din.. Pero I think, it would be better kung merong forum topic para dito, and hopefully maging sticky po ito.

Pano po ba kapag LCD gagamitin? ano po bang mga kailangan? Pwede pong paguide... I'll be buying my PS3 by tomorrow or wednesday na po eh..

*(US 60 gig 35k with 2 games)*

Paguide po please and magkano ang budget.. what if i want it to become my tv also? Ano san po may murang LCD monitors na around 19 inches and above? Prices?

Thanks. Hopefully maging useful thread to sa mga poor na katulad ko.

Latest finds for your HDTV itch (as of today and yesterday)....for those looking for (or have canvassed higher end models kindly append this list...Let's help each other out...Thanks

In increasing order...

MAG 32EFXU ---- PhP 35,500 (AceNet Greenhills /Cash /no 0%)
---- 39,900 (Villman @ 12mos 0%)

Skyworth (32LI6 )---- 38,000 (Western/Cash---44950@12mos)

Samsung SlimFit CRT 32" 42,000 (Abenson/Cash
44,995 (Abenson @ 12mos 0% )

Samsung 32 S81------ 48,000 (Western/Cash --53K with HT)
59900 (all stores will revert to this
price anytime a card is used: 18mos@0% +
5K for the HT)

TCL 32V8SX 50000 (Abensons/CASH less 5%)

Hyundai 32HLT3270 51443 (SM Appl./ SRP-- didnt haggle na

Toshiba REGZA 32WL66E 54400 (GoldenSound VirraMall@12mos
0%w/free HDMI output
Toshiba dvd player)

Hitachi 32LD9000 54400 (as above)

LG 32LC2R 59999 (Abensons/ 12 mos @0%)

Philips 69980 (Abensons 24mos @0%+ free HT

Samsung R81 69990 (any store--didnt haggle pero
am sure you can get it sa
Western ng cash kahit 58K
following the S81 pricing

There are other brands...YES/Akai/Syntax/Promac/Chimei/Changhong...ill add them next time...wala kasi sila sa radar ko ng 32 inchers..Ill go back before the May31 deadline for the sale and see if i can add their prices

Others more than 70K i consider "expensive" already--so yung mga nagcanvass ng Sony/Sharp Aquos/ JVC etc. etc. paki cut and paste na lang.

Good thing is all stores allow you to hook up your PS3 to test...then again I made sure to go early AM para wala pang shoppers...Kahit sa Villman --they allow youto hook it up--unfortunately kahit sila nakita nila na pangit ang output sa MAG kahit naka HDMI na...daming blur..no wonder its the cheapest...Best bang for the buck? ---kanya kanyang satisfaction yan so I suggest try bfore you buy...mukhang ok na ata ako tho sa 48K na SamsungS81..

Bumili ako kanina nung bagong Sony Bravia 32" V300A. Pag cash purchase or straight credit (i.e. hindi deferred payment), 25K off. Binabaan pa nung salesman yung price ng around 3.5K. Tapos nag add lang ako ng 7K para ma upgrade yung included na Home Theater to the newer HDMI version. And that's not all; binigyan pa ako ng original Sony HDMI cable worth 3K! Sulit talaga mga tsong. May 2 HDMI inputs na siya, kaya nya mag accept ng 1080p (pero downscaled to 1366x768 - ok lang kasi 32" lang naman siya eh). Ilang linggo ko ding pinag isipan kung 40" o 32" ang pipiliin ko pero yung 40" model e twice the price nung 32" even with the discounts. Yung price talaga nung 32" yung sweet spot. :)

Tinanong ko yung salesman kung marami nang bumili nung model na yun - sabi niya ako pa lang daw... 3 weeks ko nang inaabangan CNet para sa review kaso wala pa hanggnang ngayon. Talagang nagiging aggressive na Sony sa pagiging competitive sa LCD TVs. Kaso sobrang mahal pa din nung X series nila.

Galing sa Sony mismo yung promo so available siya sa lahat ng stores na nagbebenta ng Sony. Original price nung Bravia ay 90K pero pag bibilihin mo ng cash or direct credit, bawas ng 25K. So 65K na lang. Kaya pa nilang ibaba yun to 61.5K pag may dala ka nang pambayad. May Sony voucher ka na worth 20K na pwede mong i-exchange for accessories e.g. home theater, cables, etc. Discarte mo na kung ano kukunin mo pero pinaka sulit yung HT tsaka HDMI cable.

Hindi ko sure kung pwede pang ibaba yung price kung hindi mo gagamitin yung vouchers. Tanong mo na lang.

Binili ko yung unit ko sa Abenson Avant sa Greenbelt 4. :)

Dumating na kanina yung TV tsaka HT. Mga "things to watch out for lang":

Nung sinesetup ko na siya, doon ko lang nakita na iba yung input connector para sa cable. Kelangan ko pang lumabas ng bahay ng sandali para bumili ng PAL connector sa ace hardware. Around 55PHP isang PAL connector.

Nung nag auto tune na ng channels, kelangan ko pang manually i-adjust yung TV system to "M" for each channel para maayos yung sound at picture. Medyo tedious kung maraming channels. Tip - nadiscover ko na habang nasa menu nung pang adjust nung TV system setting, pwedeng mag switch sa next channel. Nase-save na yung setting mo dun.

Pag nagsi-switch ng channel, may delay ng 2 seconds. Ewan ko kung ganun din sa earlier bravia models pero baka mainip ang mga mahilig mag channel surf.

Hindi ko muna na setup yung home theater - mukhang medyo complicated yung pag assemble nung mga speaker. Next weekend ko na siguro masesetup yun. Hindi ko pa din nasesetup mga game consoles ko - napagod/inaantok na ako sa kaka hintay se delivery truck.

With regards sa picture quality ng standard cable signal, na-impress ako sa pag upscale at pag smooth nya nung pictures. Akala ko pangit din yung quality pero pwede na! :)

Which Bravia did you get? My 32v200 came with the PAL connector.

Yup, sakit ng Bravia talaga yan. But not sure if you noticed when you were setting up the TV System, ang bilis mag change ng channels. Weird.

Anyway, congrats on your new TV! Happy HD Gaming! :-D
