Samsung 22" LA22A450 LCD TV Resolution 1680 x 1050

I'm concern about the screen size produce using a Component HD AV cable on 720p does it fit the actual screen of the PS3 very well using the preset picture setting of samsung example the wide setting.

Because i'm using an HDMI in 720p, with the Samsung's preset picture setting I can't seem to get the best picture size setting for it.

"Wide format" = it is missing .5 inch on the vertical picture edge of the screen. Can't adjust the size to shrink the screen like in PC monitor.

"16:9" = the screen size is fits we'll. the screen becomes smaller. because it puts .5 inches of black border on top and the bottom.

"Scan Line" = it fits the full screen but it looks stretch seems the circle is like OVAL. noticeable on the wheels of GTA5 prologue.

I check the samsung's manual that using HDMI in 720p or 1080i it cuts some picture size of the screen.

Will a component HD AV cable help produce good picture size improvements with video size display output in 720p. before I purchase component HD AV cable any help and advise thanks in advance.

Use 720p 16:9 for component.... it would fit well, but as you said... .5" black bars are present... LA22A450 screen aspect is 16:10... so black bars are really present.... havent tried HDMI yet but it should be same.... the manual is only telling us that cut parts in HDMI will occur if input aspect is not 16:10 but no stretch picture... just try it... I think PS3 aspect is fixed at 16:9 (not sure)

Yes, that 29.9K full HD LG LCD is a STEAL. 32 inch full HD monitor for gaming and HTPC...1920x1080p glory. May bonus ka pang TV...hehehe.

Specs/features to look for in LCD TVs if your primary use for it is gaming:

- Response time. Get those with 5ms rating or less. (Standard ata sa mga TVs eh around 8-9ms.)
- Game mode. (disables most of the processing done by the TV on the picture para less lag between the time you do your controller inputs and TV display output)

For me, Plasma is still best for gaming. And no other Plasma under 40k performs better than the LG 32PC5RV.

Check this thread for some of my screenshots while playing NBA2k8 on the xbox360.

Samsung 32A550 why?

1) Full Hd and you can see the difference sa games esp when you activate the "just scan" aspect ratio and partner that with a 1080p resolution. Tested this with a first generation ps3 game called VF5, we've been playing this for so long on a 720p set (Old Sammy R8) and when we activated 1080p + "just scan", grabe our friend who owns an arcade center in hk said it looks just like the high-end SEGA LINDBERG system (a high def arcade cabinet).

2) 5ms response time, I had this unit and even at very quick pans on an FPS game you get a smooth flow of the scene.

3) Game mode offers spot on input response time (very important when you play on-line) may lag na nga ang local connection natin, let's not add further lag by quirky input times

Downside?

Too bright out of the box sa dynamic mode, pale naman pag naka standard but after calibration maganda na talaga!

UPDATE:

I don't have this unit anymore and upgraded to an A650, kung under 40k lang ang A650 I guess that would be my pick^

Would love to hear any suggestion mga sir regarding what LCD or monitor that would fit in playing PS3. Maraming salamat po mga sir.

By the way, okay din po kaya to? Samsung 22" Roseblack Glossy Finish 2233sw(1920x1080 Full HD, DVI) or mas maganda yung HP w2448hc?

gerardhamada · « **Reply #11 on:** Mar 18, 2009 at 12:00 AM »

well there would be a lot of considerations muna like the budget, playing distance, the video output you would want out of the game and if this will only be used for the ps3

CaLvs · « **Reply #12 on:** Mar 18, 2009 at 01:20 AM »

solely use for ps3 po sir. Budget ko po is around 15-20k lang kasi. Ano po kaya masuggest nyo?

gerardhamada · « **Reply #13 on:** Mar 18, 2009 at 02:17 AM »

if kaya mo pa tiisin muna na ipon muna kahit 5k lang pa for 25k you can get a good 32 inch lcd tv na

DonMiguel85 · « **Reply #14 on:** Mar 22, 2009 at 05:33 AM »

Maganda yung Samsung Series 3 na 32 inch or Panasonic 32LE8. Soon they'll go for around 25K or less.

CaLvs · « **Reply #15 on:** Mar 22, 2009 at 09:38 AM »

Thanks po sa mga input nyo

Carlo777 · « **Reply #16 on:** Jul 26, 2009 at 02:12 PM »

Hello guys, I'll be buying a small LCD for my office just for PS3 gaming (work and play does mix

), so any advise will be of great help.

Like I said, this is just for gaming and nothing more, no dvd's, no blu-ray, just plain games. You guys can also include price.

(Playing games in the work area is done at your own risk

)

Many many thanks.

Samsung monitors?

T24HD
T26HD

or

2233SW
2333SW

All are 1080p too. There have newer counterparts w/different looks but i think they're largely the same, they start with "P" code names so it all boils down to your preference of design. (Which of course them being Samsung they're all relatively classy.)

Thanks! Do they have HDMI inputs? How much would these cost now?

POST UPDATE:

I think I'll be getting the T240HD, where can I buy this? And how much would it cost?

Thank you.

Be careful of those models though... am not sure but when I inquired about the t26/24, was told that these monitors have no speakers... so video only.

Sure, I'll note that.

~~Yes it's true, they don't have speakers...but a pair of Altec's or HK Sound Sticks would be better.~~
Seems I was wrong, they DO have speakers.
http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/detail/spec.do?group=itbusiness&type=monitors&subtype=lcd&model_cd=LS26TDDSUV/EN&fullspec=F

The T series (and 2333HD) are actually more expensive because they also have a TV tuner and a wealth of inputs including HDMI.

The 2333HD is around 15,000 while the T260HD is 22,000. (I haven't seen the T240HD, it seems to be selling the same price as the 260HD) It's all around the Gilmore PC shops or just your nearest Electroworld, Silicon Valley, etc., but of course it's cheaper on those PC shops in Gilmore. (I would suggest visiting Tipidpc.com for canvassing)

Honestly though, since you won't need the TV tuner and other inputs, you can just get the 2333SW at 10,000+, downside is you would need a HDMI->DVI adaptor since that doesn't have an HDMI port. The newer P2370G looks better but costs an extra 2,000 for the redesign. But if you don't mind paying the premium for the T260HD/23333HD why not?

Also there are a wealth of options and better value-for-money in BenQ, Acer, HP...but they can't hold a candle to the sytlings of Samsung.

dips15 · « **Reply #22 on:** Jul 26, 2009 at 06:21 PM »

Thing is for the price of speakers, you could buy 32 inch lcds already. Unless of course, space is a concern. Nakakahinayang lang.

Really? Cool! I'm not too concerned about the way it sounds though. The last thing I want is for my staff to hear me play during work hours, while I slave drive them to reach their quotas

Which models have good response times?

ditoy_eagle · « **Reply #27 on:** Jul 26, 2009 at 07:22 PM »

Carlo I had a lot of LCDs tried and sold already for gaming, just like you in the search for your movie watching huge plasma LCDs hehe!

The best here are those with high contrast ratio so you have darker blacks. The 2333HD, T240 has low contrast ratios, and you are paying for other TV features that you don't need. Mas maganda pa for gaming yung 2333SW which I have, gamit ka lang ng HDMI-DVI cable or use a converter. You should be looking for those with 50,000:1 dynamic contrast ratios para talagang happy ka

Like the following models which are available locally:
LG W2353V http://www.lge.com/us/computer-products/monitors/LG-lcd-monitor-W2353V-PF.jsp
Samsung P2370 http://www.samsung.com/au/consumer/detail/detail.do?group=computerperipherals&type=monitor&subtype=lcdmonitor&model_cd=LS23EFHKFV/XY

Invinciible · « **Reply #28 on:** Jul 26, 2009 at 07:23 PM »

that's the thing with the samsungs... usually the ones with 2ms response times like the t220 don't have true 1080 resolution. something like 1050...
conversely, the HD models are usually at 5ms. but the t240hd at 5ms was pretty quick in responding in my humble opinion.
