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

Thanks boss, I'll look at those models also!

Guys where can I see check them out?

Silicon Valley has a complete line of Samsung monitors. Gilmore shops would be cheaper since they do give discounts. PCWORX in Gilmore offers great prices. They're located at the 2nd and 3rd floor of the IT center (Building with the "little store" on the ground floor). Mas-walang tao sa 3rd floor. (They have 2 separate shops)

You may also look at the LG lh20 series. SnS was selling it for 23k. I've seen the lh20 with gaming-like graphics at Avent/Abensons in Greenbelt. From what I saw, it was very good.

i sit corrected. that samsung is full hd, 2ms, 50k to 1 dynamic contrast, great buy. didn't know that was available locally... hmmm... now you got me thinking. :

Yeah these two models are the hot items in tipidpc now. Just like the plasma panasonics for our movies hehe! These models are newly released too so you are assured of the best LCD technology with low-energy consumption. Better get soon before stocks run out, not all dealers have them maybe because they are still pushing their older remaining models. PCWorx nga daw is also a cheap dealer, just near PCHub also in the Gilmore area. Wala lang testing ata dyan, unlike Home Theater stores which have displays. So it's favorable if you go when there are no other buyers, like closing time so you have time to meticulously check your lcd, or possibly compare 2 models side by side.

just a thought, if the 26" is priced at 23k, si 32 pana le8 diba ganun din ang price.ü o baka too big ang 32 for your workstation.ü

That's what I was suggesting rin kanina. 32 inch lcd's are almost the same price. Pero baka nga pangit if you have a 32" on your workstation. Mahirap di mapansin ang games mo. Hehe... buking agad.

The 23" models I mentioned above are P11-12,500 lang. For dual computer workstation with additional gaming purposes panalo yan. You won't use a 32" LCD for your computer right? In a family room or bedroom, pwde pa magsabay while everyone's watching cable or a movie, you can still play non-stop with a mini-setup on the side. also good if you have surround headphones for private gaming.

Good headphone only available in the US is the Tritton AXPro which has digital optical inputs and true separate drivers to deliver 5.1 surround sound. well, the headphones is another topic all together hehe

Sir Carlo777, try the Viewsonic VX2423w or the VX2433wm. both are 1080p full hd.

This does make a lot more sense. Since balak mo tago and not let your staff hear sounds coming from whatever source, a headphone would make the most sense. Lot more cost efficient.

What's the typical "dead pixel" policy when it comes to LCD monitors like those we mentioned here...

borly · « **Reply #41 on:** Jul 27, 2009 at 01:23 AM »

there's a long thread dedicated to the 2333HD in tipidpc. Samsung even gave a free dvd player whenever you would purchase this model a few months back. it's a really popular model amongst those who have a ps3 but I read that a couple of them have experienced vertical lines which appeared after a couple of months. also there's a specific batch, November '08, which had faulty IR receivers.

some of them mentioned that the faulty models were the ones with panels from Chi Mei.

http://www.tipidpc.com/viewtopic.php?tid=175661

how about giving the LA-22B450 a try?

ditoy_eagle · « **Reply #42 on:** Jul 27, 2009 at 01:36 AM »

Baka bitin yan sir. Better to have a 1920x1080 16:9 LCD to enjoy PS3/Xbox 360 gaming. For games that support this resolution, iba ang detail talaga pag full 1080p monitor. And better if you have a high dynamic contrast ratio.

Carlo if you need an LCD with built-in speakers isa ding option itong Samsung 2494HS, it's P16,500 and I know the dealer they can deliver to your place pa with official receipt and full Samsung warranty. I haven't seen this model in Gilmore last week when I was there.

I'm using LA-22A450 HD ready TV... with 5ms, 10,000:1, 1680x1050, 720p / 1080i, accepts 1080p signals, mainly used as PC monitor for Home use... watching avi, mkv, dvd, HD materials workstation, playing PS One/ PS2 and PC games... has PIP function. got it @ 18,900 last year...

My suggestion for Video / Movie FREAKS choose Flat Panels with TV tuner since it has more features and fuctions (you can maximize picture quality)... and for Gaming or normal PC use other Flat Panels (without TV Tuner) are enough...

I agree with stick. Try the LA-22B450 as it comes with 2 HDMI ports and a slight face lift over the A450. I think you can get it for 17,500 now.

This model has the highest tested contrast ratio by CNET

CNET US Review of Samsung SyncMaster P2370

Manufacturer's specifications:
Resolution: 1,920x1,080
Pixel-response rate: 2ms
Contrast ratio: 1,000:1
Brightness: 250cd/m2
Connectivity: DVI-D
HDCP compliant? Yes
Included video cables? DVI
Backlight: CCFL
Panel Type: TN

The good:
The Samsung SyncMaster P2370 is low-priced, beautifully designed, and offers very good overall performance with Full HD resolution. Also, it's one of the lightest monitors we've tested of any size.

The bad:
The Samsung SyncMaster P2370 includes only DVI as a connection option. Movie performance is disappointing, and it has a wobbly base.

The bottom line:
It skimps on a few features, but the Samsung SyncMaster P2370 is a stylish, low-priced 23-incher with very good performance.

If you were thinking of connecting the display to your standalone Blu-ray player, think again. To cut back on costs and to keep the monitor as thin as possible, Samsung includes a single DVI-D as the sole connection option. Neither HDMI nor even VGA connections are included.

In our Dark Screen test, backlight bleed through was noticeable on the top and bottom edges of the screen, suggesting that the display would not be able to display deep blacks when playing a movie

The P2370 achieved a brightness score of 239 candelas per square meter (cd/m2)--only slightly lower than Samsung's claimed 250 cd/m2 max. Its tested contrast ratio was slightly above the 1,000:1 claimed by Samsung and came in at a fairly close 1,064:1.

We used the P2370's Movie preset to check out "War of the Worlds" ("WotW") on DVD and "House of Flying Daggers" ("HoFD") on Blu-ray. In "WotW" we found the color quality was worse than expected with slightly washed out faces and a slight yellowish tint. Deep blacks--a critical attribute for good movie playback--eluded the P2370. In "HoFD" we saw more accurate color, but those deep blacks we enjoyed on the Dell G2410 were still nowhere to be seen. Also, picture sharpness was not quite as fine as on the G2410 as subtitles looked slightly blurred. We found that the Dynamic Contrast preset worked best for movie watching. With Dynamic Contrast on, we only noticed the screen darkening on scenes where the screen is 90 percent black or more, such as the end credits and during fades to black. In the DC preset blacks looked darker and the colors, slightly more full.

We looked at the game Crysis on the P2370 in its Game preset and saw a clean picture with no signs of ghosting during fast movement.

Good day Sirs/Ma'am,

I'm planning to buy an LCD TV and will used it more on my PS3 hehe. un nalng kulang ko sa bahay eh.

Anyway i have a budget of 35k-ish and was hoping to get the best out of that budget. i saw some model already and was considering some of their advantages over the other.

Here are m options.

Sony KLV-32S550A
LG 32LF20
Or the Samsung Series 5 (ganun din ata price range)

I have read so far na i would not need Full HD since 32 incher lang ako and wont notice the difference. 8 feet cguro layo ko sa tv pag sa bahay. is it true?

sino saka nila ang mataas ang refresh rate? pinaka malapit maging true motion? will i need it for gaming and will it be noticeable if i watch some sky cable channels and bluray?

i'm asking these question coz im leaning for sony just beacuse i want uniformity... pero if the other 2 can offer much more greater quality and gaming expirience id go for them.... so help naman poh..... thanks.

Get the 32" LG LH70. The 120Hz would do wonders with your games and will give you new gaming experience.

my old sony lcd ( which was wall mounted pretty high) got totally submerged during ondoy :'(. the estimated repair price is 80k

. can you guys recommend what current LCD gets the most bang for the buck under 120k but will bring out the goodness of my ps3?

hope you guys can help.

For gaming, you really need a 2mpx Full HDTV to maximize the graphic pixel presentation. Since you have tried Sony, we recommend the 40s550 at P60K. You may wish to check out the review of this TV under the topic: Flat Panel Reviews Thread. You won't regret for owning this Sony TV for the second time.

i'm using a 2 month old panasonic 42" lz80
its 1080p and got for45-48k
its excellent for ps3 gaming

i tried sony hitachi and samsung lcds (2005-2008 720p max 1080i models)
so far the panny 42 lz80 tops them all for ps3 gaming
sharp detail and vibrant colors

now for watching fast moving and predominantly dark scened movies there is much
to be desired...

sorry ah, pero it's hard to ask everyone to give your recommendations. mas maguguluhan lang po kayo. others may have read something good about a brand on paper pero they have not actually seen it. so go and demo with your PS3. just choose reputable resellers. take Ereply's offer and go to his shop. mas maganda kung nandun siya sa shop para maasikaso kayo ng todo. good luck.
