Plasma or LCD

**oldblue** · March 24th, 2007 02:45 AM

guys, pano ba napapatakbo yun SD Card sa mga lcd tv? sa hollywood disneyland kasi, ang standard issue nila duon eh Panasonic LCD TV with SD Card.

I tried viewing our photos taken the previous day from our SD card, ayaw lumabas and i cant find a menu to run a slideshow or somethin'

gusto ko sana yun Samsung LCD TV ngaun na parang Black Imac monitor kasi may built-in SD card slot, can this play photos as well as Divx/MPEG4 format videos
?

However, iyong nakita kong brand new na lcd monitor ay 20" lang.... I am looking for 32" minimum....

yup me too. although gusto-gusto ko na magka 32" lcd tv. deliberately dini-delay ko purchase. yun popular 27" na Kolin a year ago eh 85k. ngaun 32" nasa 59k na lang yun samsung.

then I just saw a 3Megapixel Philip LCD TV sa SM * almost 90k.

mukang not adviseable pa ngaun to buy kasi ang bilis mag-drop ng presyo ng LCD TV's. siguro before X'mas 42" na yun tig 50k hehehe

Wii looks like crap even using widescreen & 480p

Xbox 360 is ideal using a VGA cable and is a hassle using component.

Saan pala inilalagay ang VGA cable? Sa may HDMI/DVI slot? or kailangan pa ng converter?

Oh and yeah, VGA gives you up to 1080p whereas component only limits to 720p/1080i

They still seem to be selling Plasma. I read somewhere that from oblique angles, plasma is still better than LCD -- cheaper, too.

LCD's have 170 degree viewing angles, even our "old" Magnavox. That's quite capable enough.

LCD's make great pc monitors too. After seeing a friend's pc with a dual monitor setup of a 32" and 46" LCD tv's, I'm sold on LCD.....

I tried it out earlier......

Newer LCDs have a viewing angle of 178 degrees side to side. Plasmas I think is 180 degrees?

But LCDs should be viewed at eye level, else the colors will tend to invert. Plasma don't have this problem.

Yah. I tried viewing both from an angle and the LCD had some sort of distortion kahit viewable siya, unlike the plasma. At kung 40" pataas na, medyo malaki na ang price difference!

Well if we're talking about elevation angle, at what point does LCD becomes distorted? If I have to crank my neck up, then I'm too close. From normal pictureframe or portrait on the wall heights, I don't see distortion being a problem at all. I certainly haven't seen any distortion with the 32" Magnavox or any of the 19" LCD Mac and pc monitors (when used as a tv).

I don't have a LCD TV, but with my 2 LCD monitors, when I stand up and look at them, the colors tend to change.

The same happens with my cheap Toshiba laptop. It doesn't take much movement of the LCD.

But both the 19" HP LCD of the Mac Mini and the 19" Samsung of my wife's pc need a considerably sharper angle before the colors change.

The Mac HP has a (non-current) Tsikot page while the pc Samsung is being used as a tv (tv tuner). Both hold their colors while my Toshiba laptop shifts pretty bad. The colors on the Magnavox 32" holds up better than the two monitors.
