Title: What's your Flat Panel Display ?
Post by: kenchix1 on Jan 05, 2008 at 01:52 PM

What's your flat panel display and what are the primary reason why choose it among numerous brands and models ?
-----

Display: SHARP LC-37BX5M 37"

Reason for buying it:
I'm looking for a cheap 32" to 42" good picture quality flat panel display with HDMI input and with the lowest power consumption as possible because my kids and I are going to use it for around 6-12 Hours a day. The LC-37BX5M consumption is only 171 watts, almost the same with my old 34" CRT TV.

We have Hitachi L37A01 at the power consumption of 167 watts. You won't go wrong with this tv: contrast of 10000, and the lcd panel of ips alpha, which delivers image that can be naturally viewed from all directions with a wide viewing angle and fixed color tones from any angle, as well as at any color scale.

You may wish to take a look at this Hitachi at Sights and Sounds located at 4th level Shangri-La Plaza. Other brands of LCD are also available for viewing.

Got myself the Skyworth 37L88 last May 2007.

So far, it's still working perfectly for my divX movies and cable tv viewing needs. Just this morning I used it as a PC monitor, using HDMI cables to interface it with my PC, with excellent results. I even played the highly demanding game Crysis with it, and it performed flawlessly with stunning visuals to boot.

I also got the Samsung 940MG (with built-in TV tuner) for PC use but it's a bit pricey. I should have got something cheaper if I just waited for the last quarter of 2007.

First post  ;D
I just got myself a Panny TX32LX60 from listening in style for 32k only.
I'm using it primarly to play with my xbox 360.
Actually I was planning to get the YES 32" but for 3k more I got this one instead.

Hey hud, congrats on your new TV. I wonder how is the performance of a full HD LCD such as yours when watching cable TV programs? I'm considering getting a full-HD TV, this time an LCD.

Title: Re: What's your Flat Panel Display ?
Post by: Huddaf on Jan 27, 2008 at 10:01 PM

Ay sir, walang cable sa lugar namin e, bundok kasi antipolo. Pero regular programs lang na nasasagap thru antenna, medyo madaming noise. Pero using HDDVD and standard dvd ok na ok. Sir Vic just recommended me to keep using it and check for any dead pixels. Once na break in they will come back after a few weeks to calibrate the color.  :)

Baka bumili na rin ako either BD player ng sony or PS3.
