Makro Sinotec Full HD Special

720p on a 32" is fine if you sit more than a meter away from it. I don't notice any pixelation.
 
why waste money on the gtx?? rather get the newer 5870's....
 
When the 47" drops below R10k again at makro I'm going to grab it. There's nothing else out there with better value for that size and 1080p AND 5 year guarantee.
 
im still unsure about sinotec. i know some of u have given it good reviews though.
 
Ok....gonna buy it tomorrow....will check in the morning for any last second warnings!
:-)
 
DUDE!!!!

get the Sinotec.i just hooked up the PS3 with hdmi cable and its seriously beautiful.
i think the component cables dont do the tv justice.il be getting one of the bundles for ps3 soon! Even an old game Motorstorm on 720hd was awesome.the tv fps seemed to keep up a whole more more with the hdmi cable.
I never tried the Elite Xbox with the sinotec but i think im pretty sold on Sony for my next console.I cant wait to jam some fifa on that setup.

Just one thing guys : hdmi doesnt include audio? what is the easiet way to get the sound playing through my tv ? i see the back on the ps3 has that ps2 audio/video port....how do i get the audio setup.this is my only concern? i cant run the audio through the AV1/2 ports ? im kinda confused bt this should be basic i know :p
 
HDMI does run the audio..... I know cause i take my PS3 whenever i go away for work and hook it up to a 40" LCD they got in the hotel room... all i plug in is the HDMI... just check how the sound is setup in the PS3 system settings
 
Ok, I got the 42" Sinoctec and so far i am very happy with it.

I don't usually watch TV but quality was better then expected, good quality on my nintendo Wii (I finally used my component cable).

Then I hooked it up to my Media center PC and played true blood in high definition, quality was stunning.

I couldn't get the audio to work with my graphics card, and the dvi to hdmi converter,
will have a look at that tonight.

I need more HD movies now....

No sound over DVI=No sound over HDMI. Use toslink or coax.

You can definitely do DVI to HDMI for sound, just not sure if my graphics card supports it.

Yeah, that is the actual point. Either the graphics card need a build in sound processor/decoder or a external input link that can input the sound from your sound card output. Good luck if you find such a graphics card without an existing HDMI port like some of the later 48xx ATI series.

Maybe you need to visit these links to convince yourself. Hmmm.
