[s2xXxGatoxXxs2]

[illmagnified]

[JJSILVA94]

1080p is the best

and w.e

[Ichigamer]

[EcthelionVi]

[2410gilla]

720p is better than 1080i

[ivanyoulube]

[kinzad06]

[ivanyoulube]

[tuberoako777]

true! theres a vid abt it here.. 720p>1080i

[optimusprime10000]

hey guys if you want to play video games on an hdtv with an even better quality tr playing the PS3 good quality

[GTAfreAk112]

if you get all the stuff.. what you do with all of it? i mean, u cant have 300 video cards on ur pc O_O

[DeXeSs]

There is no such thing as 720i.

No component input?

Pass

[th3d3wd3r]

720i simply means it's interlaced. So yes, it does exist. Not really a commonly used standard, but definetly exists.

[jmmatos23]

hmmm... I have a problem. I upgraded from a 17" non lcd monitor to a 19" SOYO DYLM1986 and now I cant play bf2, and joint operations wont accept a higher res that 1280x768. I'm using a VGA cable because it didnt come with the DVI one, would that be the reason of the problem??? or it just sucks....

[SwordMasterz2]

lol, he play spiderman 3, good review!

[KiloriloFFXI]

Never heard of that company :X

[maze70]

they are most known for making pc motherboards

[saanichprince]

But the motherboard tray is.. not.... removable.

[BXbomber718]

ROFL!! I think I was the only one who got that lol!

[pr0wnz]

this looks like a cheap shitty tv u see for sale in a supermarket, were they sell other eletronic failures.

[DrFitzgerald]

HAAHAHAHA so true over there in the mall with the shitty toasters and radios that nobody wants!

[NewPSCity]

NO THANKS i would rather get a Sony or Samsung or a Sharp.

[TESCOZsomle]

I simlpy can't understand, why a comment like this get negative classification??

Are people at all understan what I mean??

[forumdude123]

yea, thats y i gave u a thumbs up

[WatchoutXP]

lots of Info.!!

[tricccple]

Rogers HD TV... ?

learn a lot about HDTV in this vid,

5star

[havanissa]

This would be a good tv for a bedroom, but only one HDMI, that's sucks if you have multiple HD devices in the bedroom. But overall I agreem with 3Dgameman.

Movies are better viewed on 480p than 720i

[DeXeSs]

There is no such thing as 720i; why are people giving this comment a thumbs up?

[dhk1977]

the specs on this television is horrible.

[acaftermath007]

i agree.

[Neties]

agreed, you gotta pay me double to buy it.

[smalltime0]

Do you happen to know what the brightness is in lumens? Just that nits aren't a SI unit

[TheKoreanX]

I REALLY like Samsung LCDs. Pretty much all of my display technologies (television, computer monitor, etc.) is from Samsung. I have had televisions from all companies and Samsung has been by far the best in my opinion.

[JdMetal]

The reso is 1680x1050..but how can it capable 1080i???

[tvdownloads]

Doesnt 1080i scale to half that?

[3dlegoman]

there is a difference between 1080i and 1080p

[marcoshenz]

Yes, 1080i refreshes half of the horizontal lines every cicle, when 1080p does all of them.

It's ""capable"" of 1080i because it cuts off 30 pixels, or resizes the image, f*cking everything up.

[smalltime0]

AFAIK the TV is capable of rendering the 1080i input by scaling the picture down. You won't notice it as the pixel/cm^3 ratio would be higher than your normal TV.

You would also notice it is using the 16:10 aspect ratio, not the 16:9 widescreen standard.

[Callum027]

The monitor scales down the image to fit the screen, the monitor doesn't actually have 1920x1080 pixels

[KOkun]

rodney, i like the info you put up on the description. BUT, i'd really like if you started posting up the link to show us the price of the product or just tell us the price of the product at the time of review. :)

[KenDiriwan]

How much this one?

[arranmc182]

lol S-video on a TV thats rare in the UK cus we get scart that isnt as good as S-video but we do have RGB Scart that puts Svideo to shame but that looks like a grate TV

[masterchiefx2]

lol never heard of soyo sounds like one of those cheap rebrands soyo, sony, sanyo hmmmm?

[arranmc182]

if i remember right soyo build there own TV just the panels they buy from other companies but thats what most of the smaller companies do now as its cheaper for them instead of making poor panels like some companies do.

[MN12BIRD]

Yeah I would imagine there is only a handfull of companies actually build LCD panels. Just like CRTs there was only like what 3 or 4 companies making tubes? GE, Mitsubishi, Sony and... well thats the main ones. RCA for example used GE tubes IIRC. I think Samsung makes most of the LCD display panels used. Acer and BenQ for example use them for the most part. We used to sell Soyo LCDs where I work and they where okay given the price.

[RenegadeFury]

Nice review.

[vikingo89us]

does it have rubber feet so it doesnt scratch the surface? LOL

[zonemad96]

nice Review

[Phoenix219]

is he related to les stroud (survivorman)?

[Gintaras]

LOL, I think so!

[Claizen]

LMAo Buahah!

[RRA1ncognito]

This is the exact same as my Viewsonic but has a different faceplate. It's a good buy!

[beanbag1985]

its 22 diagonally not wide

[PCG520]

So many water marks!

[Rowdyeh]

You can get around the 1 HDMI connection by using a receiver and putting all your cables to the receiver. Looks neater too when you dont have a bunch of cables hanging from the TV. Cheers!

[uzaiyaro]

Why isn't one HDMI connection enough? I also noticed that this TV doesn't have component connections, but usually one HDMI input is enough. If you have a kickass amp, usually it will do the switching for you.

[06sterling]

Well sire I have four HDMI on my VO47L has four HDMI and with two PC's and 360/PS3 tossing it 1080p, I wish I had a fifth for the DVD player but I use the comp for that anyway. So, you can NEVER have more thna enough of ANY connection. Not in my eyes.

[06sterling]

To clarify I was'nt calling 3dgameman a goober.

[LETHLSS]

black is bad!

[urlame101]

what has he not said about the LCD

he has said everything about it

[06sterling]

Lol you goober. I'm such a hypocrite, I'm wasting time on someone "I" don't like.

[igob8a]

It's no Samsung, but I guess it's all right, especially for the price.

[lhuser]

At least he take the info and puts it in sentences along with a video of the product,so it makes it more interesting. Not all of us likes to read huge ass or tiny with loaded info boards.

[Vitrisek]

that tv look ugly........

[CalusoXP]

yeah very convenient handle! hehe nice display

[AussieTemplar]

meh, id buy a 24" LCD over that anyday.

[chiefredbeard]
