Best Value LCD TV.

Last Thursday, i was driving home late from my company (TPM), when I was approaching Balakong Jasco, the traffic jam was damn serious. Guess what, it was Jasco members' day. After jammed for more than 20 mins, i had decided to join the group (Ke Po) to Jasco. I just went to the electronic department. I found out that many of the branded LCD TVs was on sale, Panasonic, Sony. Sharp and Philips...
After scouting all the LCD TV (for a suitable 32 inches LCD), I have decided to buy Philips LCD, with a very simple reason, Philips LCD gave the most discount, the cheapest among all 32inches LCD.

Initially I wanted to buy Panasonic 32 inches (VIERA TX-32LE8MK), but then I found out that many display resolution is not supported for this model.

Philips (32PFL3403) 768P display supported most of the video format.

The only drawback it is just supported HD ready, not a full HD LCD.

Something extra to share here,
Do we really need a Full HD 1080p display?
After doing some own research, you can only see the different if you sit 5.5 feet or closer, else you will not be able to appreciate the full glory of high definition TV.

A Full HD is a screen that has a native resolution of 1920x1080 pixles. This can accept and play images that have been scaled up to 1080 with progressive scanning. This is what is known as 1080p up scaling.

A HD Ready screen on the other hand has a native resolution of 1366x768 pixels and can display images with up to 720p resolutions. Though it will also accept a 1080p image, this will be down scaled to match the screen's parameters.

As has been mentioned elsewhere many times, a Full HD system will make sense only if you have a screen size of 42 inches or more. Less than that, a HD Ready system is more that ample.
