Im in the market for a new TV also. I have an exsisting 51cm 4:3 Ratio CRT TV. Whats the same size 16:9 ratio TV that could fit in to that kinda space? Also what brand is good at that size? And also that offer all of the all the high spec features of all the larger sized TVs? Like 100Hz and Full intergrated HD with alot of HDMI ports also.
Anybody can help me here? Thanks.
Darkdrium, i dont mean to dirt your TV, but from what ive experienced (I install anything from 5 to 8 tvs a day) the Sharp with which im familiar lacks some of the qualities that similar TVs have. As ive said, im very picky nowdays with my audio visual, i find it difficult to watch a DVD on a screen bigger than a 32 because i find myself picking out all the artifacting.
i think we will find that your market probably has a better model than ours. Sharp only have a couple here in NZ
I dont even HAVE a big TV, i have a 24" 1080p computer monitor with an HDMI....
KIGO, you aren't going to find much in the way of 20 inch screens that have HDMI inputs and very high resolutions unless you look at computer monitors (and even then it's rare for them to possess a HDMI port).
Maybe it's time to look at a bigger size? 42" 1080p panasonic plasmas are about $2000 AUD I think (don't quote me).
Hi all. Im using panasonic TX-32LZ85L ,full hd 100Hz qiuck time respons. Im satisfied enough.My room is to small for bigger one i wanted even to buy 26 but its better to have full hd.
Strange, the Sharp is one of the best I've seen here... Models are most definitely different, because watching upscaled DVDs with the PS3 on it looks pretty good (Although blu-Ray is better :P)
At least one person out there gave me an answer to my question, cheers.Quote:

But hey thats bullshit. You cant get a small practical size screen with full HD, HDMI outputs and 100Hz. ****ing stupid ive got no room what soever to fit somthing no larger than a 38, or possibly a 40" buts that pushing the space boundery.
Well the global economy has gone to **** now, i guess the major producers will now opt for more practical TV sizes and bundles for the adjusting new market. Maybe earlier next year ill get a new tellie.
The Sharp I'm talking about is only 32'' and has 1080p/1080i/720p/576p/576i/480p/480i compatibility. This is one of the reason we got it. You could fit that, if you can buy it in Australia that is. ;) (Of course it's an LCD)
I'm reasonably sure that a 32 inch diagonal measurement screen in its case is not going to fit in my 20 inch wide space.
You can't get 1080p lower than that Sharp 32" for a TV. Computer monitors however can do 108op at 20", but they are not TVs, so you will need some box to switch from the composite, component or HDMI to DVI (If you don't want to plug-unplug everything everytime)
I was using the ViewSonic VX2035wm with the PS3 at one point, not sure it really did 1080p but I had the PS3 set at that resolution without any problems, and it was going through an HDMI to DVI cable. However the VX2035wm only has DVI and VGA inputs for video, and stereo jack for sound, so you can't plug in conventional composite (Red White and Yellow) or component (Red Blue Green White Red) without adaptors like the box I mentioned. You can get better 20" monitors with 1080p function and more inputs I am sure, but I don't know of any.
1080p on such a small screen would be largely useless too, as you would not be able to spot the detail unless you were sitting as close as you would for a computer monitor.
(Re: Practical size) Australian cities aren't very built up - the suburbs are fairly close to the city - most houses can fit a large TV nowadays.
I would indeed be sitting that close. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I sit within 24 inches/61 cm of the television screen, often as close as 11 or 12 inches [likewise with my computer], hence my desire for high resolution. My current computer monitor is a so-called 20 inch CRT, actual screen size is 18 inch diagonal. If a television had the same dots per inch display that the monitor does; it would be adequate for my needs.
LCD monitors can have much higher resolutions than CRTs, the ViewSonic VX2035wm for example is 1680x1050 native, and supports 1920x1080. I know you can get 20'' with higher resolutions, so it should be no trouble if you want to buy one Lance ;) (Well apart from the money.)
My CRT seems to have as fine a dot pitch as any LCD television as I've looked at in the past couple of months. My antique computer video card [integrated] limits it to 1280 pixels per line, but I don't know what it's true potential is.
Mine is a 42" HP MediaSmart LCD TV. It allows me to stream my pr0n and music collection to it -- oh, and play Wipeout on it too.
- F
lol, pr0n and WipEout - what more could you want?! :D
Free pizza everytime you boot up the game :+
lol, imagine the kind of person who would come out of that...
A sex addicted morbidly obese person with lightning fast reflexes...
That would be quite a disaster.
ROFL xD :g
Alright, so im getting an HD TV next week, and i can't afford a whole lot.
My box TV is dieing fast, now down to about 3/4ths of its picture remaining.
So im forced to result to my little 10'' inch vacation TV for now until i get the HD.
I'm new to the world of HD, so what do brand/model should i get?
Max spending limit: $550, my mom is paying for half. (early x-mas gift.).
Possible complications:
Cable Service Provider: Verizon FIOS
Set Top Box: Standard, may have to get an HD box.
If you're looking for cheap but quality, small size HD TVs, older Samsung models are your best bet. Series 1 through 4 is quite cheap by now (current series is 7 or 8 ), and if you only want 22 inch or smaller, getting under 500$ shouldn't be a problem at all.
