Yeah i want a TV already got an lcd monitor.

I want to use HDMI cos then i can use the optical output on the TV to go straight into my amp and use only on imput on the amp. Instead of like 3, ie ps3, xbox360 and wii.

Plus i won't use the hi-fi for the sound all the time as dad dosen't want me using up his valves to play games. Not when they cost a few hundred bucks each and there is quite a few of them.

If you want I'll put a list of TVs in here with prices I can get them for you at so you have a good idea on what to shop around or even take them off me, I get them at wholesale price anyway.

Ok cool,

even just some ones that you would recommend.

One of my clients runs a electronics store so i can get most brands of LCD's at a good price, i'm currently looking at a samsung they look pretty good.

So what do you think about 1080p should i hold off for it or just get one that does 1080i?

for XBOX and watching sport. go the 1080p. its better for motion at hi res. Samsung and Panasonic both near same quality, Panasonic edges out with fantastic contrast ratios and marginally better image quality.

I just put my 3D card up for sale if anyone is interested. :spank:

What if you got an open space lounge, want to play during the day and there too much light to run a projector (expecting "tough!" back lol).

Plus, LCD 32 inch panasonic TV cost just as much as projector anyway, and you can watch it all day without eyes hurting.

u buy a cheap plasma that sits behind my drop down screen for everday stuff plus prog these day have lots more brightness and my contrast is amazing just a tip. Make for a awesome saterday night invite friends over to your cinema ;)

key word "night". Any projector isnt viewable during the day unless you got blinds, you got a plasma behind the white screen thats a smart move.

Id look at buying a plasma too mate for your Xbox360, or PS3. They have jumped down in price too and most are very good.

at the moment I can only offer you the:

LG 32" Wide 8ms LCD

1366 X 768 @ 60Hz, DVI, Black

which is going for $2000 i reckon, around there, I can get it to you for $1670.

Ive heard of a Panasonic LCD 32 inch with HDMI, but I havent got access to it yet. Only 40 inch LCDs and plasmas from panasonic and greater.

That LCD TV that I just listed has HDMI.

ha!. LG L3200TFK is the monitor i listed above, see what you think, most people give it the ultra-thumbs up. in the end its your descision where you get it from and etc. I seen this monitor in stores for 2400 in some places, i say help out the SAU and offer it to people at 1670 lol. if anyone is interested PM me. Also as i mentioned above if your looking for a gun 3dcard look in selling section.

can vouch for that 3d card its the BOMB

any ways whats you thoughts on the grundig LCD tv SAZilla

we got 1 and i think its very good picture

we only run foxtel digital with it and i dont think it came with HDMI

Vision II 32

EDIT just noticed the grundig does a HDMI via DVI-D optional cable required

Edited by Madaz

that TV is fine for foxtel man, Maybe with a not so good aerial setup the digital tv (local) wont look that great, but for Fox it should be fine.

The only thing i hate about LCD TVs is that a good one needs to be 8ms and below response time and the contrast ratio needs to be same or better than 800:1. Plasma TV Contrast ratio is like 10,000:1.

But nah man, that TV looks nice and certainly looks like it would do the job without confusion.

Well i am posting this off of my new Sony KDL-32V2000

And it is absolutely amazing, i cannot believe how damn good it is.

Perfect as a monitor (just need wireless mouse and keyboard now) XBOX360 is just out of this world.

I cannot wait for ps3 using HDMi.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
