boxall Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 No one seems to have any around.....looks like great value! Can't find any specs on the web at all. Anyone know of a Big W in Brisbane with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falken Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 You may have more options at JB hifi or Dicksmith Powerhouse in these days. I seen they have lots of different brands in their shops. As you said better check the specifications, aspecially the response time, its the main feature of LCD, the ms have an effect on the motion on sport and video games.

boxall Posted September 19, 2008 Author Share Posted September 19, 2008 Picked one up today and will probably take it back tomorrow. It is definitely NOT a 16:9 TV it is a 16:10 so you get ugly borders top and bottom if you want it in the correct ratio. OK picture at best.

evil_josh Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Picked one up today and will probably take it back tomorrow. It is definitely NOT a 16:9 TV it is a 16:10 so you get ugly borders top and bottom if you want it in the correct ratio. OK picture at best. I was just about to post: "be careful I think 22 inch LCDs are 16:10" but you found that out the hard way. These small screens all use PC panels which are 16:10. You may be able to find a 24" 16:9 if you're lucky but most likely you have to go up to 27" (or down to 10"!) to get a 16:9. I recently bought a base (Target) LCD/DVB/DVD combo which is 16:10. The screen size is annoying but you do get used to is and as this is primarily for the kids i'm coping with it, or so my therapist tells me Josh.

Not sure this would help your cause boxall, but the abovementioned monitor is advertised for $249 in Victoria. Please note, i'm unfamiliar with this monitor and can't provide any feedback, but just noticed it advertised in my browsing earlier today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajax9000 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 How do you hook the STB to the monitor??? Even low end STBs have started to have HDMI outputs, and the E2200HD (NOT the E2200HDA) has HDMI in. Could also do DVI-D+audio or VGA+audio.

Soroako Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I've been looking for a decent performing small LCD for some time. This [http://www.sony.com.au/homecinema/catalog/product.jsp;jsessionid=PE3LHAFG5ODA2CWSCFCCFEQK0IIUKIV0?id=KDL20S4000B&_requestid=120640] seems to be the best specified I can find. RRP is $799. JB's offered $749 and recently DSE were throwing in a 4GB Nano ipod at the RRP. Good Guys Rockhampton had a sale 'special' for $699 [black] and $729 [Poofter colours & White]. Sony don't mention whether they're 16:9 or 16:10. One draw back is that they don't appear to have a carry handle [or built in grips]. Have checked out the cheaper brands but haven't found any with similar specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
