So I just got the 32" Aquos LCD (not full HD) for my in-the-process-of-getting-ready condo unit... It's not a huge living hall anyway

@chai,erm..it's cheap now at Carrefour Subang Jaya

..1.6k for 24 inch...32 around 2k?

But I rather get 24" Full HD for just 1.3k. It works perfectly with PS3 with Full HD.

24" is monitor size .. get at least 32"

Yeah, definitely LCD over plasma. If I do get a new HDTV, it will definitely be LCD.

As for 1080p, there's not much use for it unless you intend to hook it up to a PS3 / Blu-ray drive / HTPC. But it's a way to future-proof your purchase if you do not intend to upgrade a few years from now.

You might want to look into 100/120 Hz over the regular 50/60 Hz. For SD TV, which is what we mostly watch these days (yes, we are still THAT backward..

), the higher refresh rate makes a BIG difference. Once you go high-freq, you will NEVER go back to the lower refresh rates.

Nah, there's a 42" Full HD downstairs, but I just enjoy gaming in my own room.

LICH! Those are not cheap!

Ok .. now at the bother line between 40" Full HD or 40" 720p. The price difference is RM800.

Is there a huge difference running PS3 on Full HD compare to the non?

Btw, 100Hz is Rm1.6k extra from the Full HD

If you are using the TV as a PC monitor, then I think Full HD is better. If you are only using it for movies, then maybe 720p is good enough.

Lcd is better, because it's easier to hook up to a computer.
