Congrats, guys! Bravias are the best LCDs I've ever seen. Which is why I'm wondering why the Sharp Aquos is so big in Japan, when they're not really that impressive, at least as far as I've seen in showrooms.

Please post your personal reviews as soon as you are able. We're very interested --- tagal naman ng deliveries nyo!

Wala pa rin ba yung kay staind01?

staind01 · « **Reply #7 on:** Mar 10, 2007 at 03:05 PM »

got it na. using it as a monitor right now!

1:1 pixel mapping @ 1360x768!!! woohoo!! ang linaw and lang jaggies!!

cable viewing is good enough! not great but almost the same as the CRT it replaced!

still can't believe how great this is as a monitor!!

i've only connected it to a Hyundai Karaoke DVD so far (gotta impress the misus before anything else!

) using Composite cable. calibrated it with Avia and the misus is impressed. kaso nagconcert e so ngayon ko lang uli nagamit. hehehe.

daming calibration options, kakahilo!!

anyway, first impression, it's worth the premium price i've paid!! no regrets!

need to buy Component cables pa and a longer VGA cable!! grabe, lapit ko sa monitor and it's really clear!!

will post pics later.

Naiinggit ako. Last man standing na talaga ako.

Will wait for Allen to decide. Im on may last recon mission. Im just bringing my zen vision M as the video source with CSI and Las Vegas episodes as the media.

If the difference is negligible, Ill just get the R71. Arghh!!! I just want to get this done already.

most CRTs can't handle the below image. they flicker. this tv does it superbly!

http://www.imagestation.com/5752413/3932120011

color bars look accurate especially in front of the tv.

http://www.imagestation.com/5752413/3932119836

setting via Composite cable Video1.

http://www.imagestation.com/5752413/3932119659

via VGA as monitor. 1:1 mapping @ 1360x768!!

http://www.imagestation.com/5752413/3932119485

if the above didn't work, use this link: http://www.imagestation.com/album/pictures.html?id=2094646221

taken with a P&S camera so the pictures suck!

if somehow u've noticed the grid-like pattern, that's the work of the camera, the tv has none of those.

I believe Sony owe you big time for that one... maraming sigurong bibili ng V200a dahil sa comment mo...

Nag-second thought tuloy ako sa Bordeaux na plano kong bilhin this week...

i don't play games e. nahihilo ako sa games! hehehe.

techdude,
oo nga no? kelan kaya nila ako babayaran? hehehe. kahit 1 more V200 na lang payag na ko!

bought a set of Audio Pro component cables, mas luminaw ang dvd picture vs. composite.

was gonna buy the philips sana (ang ganda!) kaso P1,350 e!

2 sets of Audio Pro na yun! maybe next time para to compare the cables na rin. the good thing about the V200 is that you can adjust the Picture Setting of each input independently so puedeng-puede magcompare ng cables 'cept for HDMI kasi 1 lang HDMI input nya.

Hey levi! Thanks for separating this thread from the "list of merged" threads.

@all V200A users:

How do you guys manually set the "Program Channels" assigned to it's specific channel? Auto Programming it scrambles my channels eh.

SkyCable is our provider. Thanks!

nels76 · « **Reply #20 on:** Apr 26, 2007 at 09:24 AM »

I am a V Owner.

Auto Program scrambles the order.
Use Manual Programming isntead but you have to do this per channel.

Select channel
Go to Manual Program.
There is a selection there to "re-channel" the program.
Selec that until the correct channel has been received.

Thanks.

How will I know if the channel is really assigned to that certain channel/station?

For example:
ABS-CBN - should be placed in chan 08
GMA 7- should be placed in chan 12
HBO - shoulbe be placed in chan 29

I don't know anymore the exact assignment of the other chans. Coz in Samsung S71, the tv will inform you that this channel should be placed on a certain channel, so all you have to do is to drag its channel to the right station unlike using the V200A (i think) you have to make a guess or you have to assign each channel on your own. It's like guessing its exact channel.

if you are a skycable subscriber, I can give you a list of Channels and their corresponding MHz signals so you can tune it manually.

I am having a small problem with my V200A..

Every time I'm about to play Counter Strike: Condition Zero game, my HDTV only gives me a black screen and notes me "Unsupported Signal, Adjust your PC Output" Do you guys have any idea how to tweak this?

Actually, it already happened to me before using my Samsung S71 but every time i run the program RefreshLock Condition Zero works pefrect, but disabling the refreshlock gives me a blue screen, but using the V200A now, even enabling/running the Refreshlock, nothing happens - only black screen. Hope you guys can help me with this coz this is the only game i play online.

Thanks in Advance.

To those with 32v200,

I am planning to buy one wtihin the next 2 weeks. Looking at the Sony "Summer Pleasures" Promo brochure, it says there that the V-series LCDs have 2 HDMI input ports but when I looked at the actual unit, it only had 1. Anybody notice this?

Does the 32V200 have better PQ versus the 40V200? I am asking this since looking at their specs, the dynamic contrast ratio (7000:1 vs 5000:1) and onscreen contrast ratios (1700:1 vs 1300:1) of the 32V200 are higher than the 40V200.

Thanks in advance for your inputs!

don't play any computer games so can't comment on the above. are connected via VGA with resolution set to 1360x768 @ 60Hz? if not, pls try it. if yes, try other resolutions since the error is "Unsupported Signal".

runner,
have not tried the 40". better go to your nearest appliance store to compare.

Bro, I am not playing PC games kaya I cannot advise you on your problem.

Runner,

clarify with the sales people bakit ganon?
paper specs and actual specs are not the same.

Between a 32V and a 40V, audition mo na lang pre.
best advise yan.

cheers.

@nels76:

How's your local/cabled channel reception? Are you just using ordinary cable wire for watching local-cabled channels?

sakin kasi hindi mashado maganda reception or dahil naka split lang cable ko.. lol. Anything I can do to make it better?
