Going to go look at one on Wednesday

Going to go take a look tomorrow. So far its the cheapest FULL-HD LCD I've found in SA by about 15k Rand.

Will attempt convincing them to let me test the LCD with my laptop, if it supports a VGA input that is.
 
would be nice to get some info as this puppy ( dunno if same size but def a sinotec hd lcd ) will be on the table for my next cell upgrade.

Let me know of the out come, I'm also going to go check on the weekend.
 
that does look nice, but are you sure that it's 1080p? @ that price i would guess 1080i.
 
prob both cos i found the specs on the 107cm sinotec:

• Brightness: 500nit
• Contrast: 800:1
• Resolution: 1366 x 768
• HD Compatibility: 1080i, 1080P, 720P
• TV System: PAL, D/K, I, NTSC-M,
SECAM, B/G, D/K/K
• Inputs: HDMI, S-Video, D-SUB 15,
CbCr, YPbPr, RF, RCA

This one goes for R8999 @ makro
 
not to burst your bubble bro, but a screen with a max res of 1366x768 is 720p. 1080p & 1080i inputs will be accepted but will be downscaled to 720p on that monitor. it is NOT full HD. The cheapest full HD (1080p) monitor i have seen to date in SA was a SONY Bravia 46" for R 43k

no worries, as long as its big and colourful im happy, seen it in the shops and found it satisfactory.... ne ways ill be getting one for free ( sort of ) so what the hell it can/can't do doesnt really phase me
 
Well, what can one say? I have a 720p LCD and I love the frikken thing. you are 100% guaranteed to be happy with it :D
 
Sinotech sounds like your typical chinese companies knockoff version of some other brand. I would most definitely try and get a chance to see it in action and playing some HD material etc before buying it.

OT-Whats the point in getting a HDTV when there is no HD material to watch? I mean it even degrades normal television viewing as the TV image becomes stretched. In addition, it doesn't seem likely that DSTV is going to be providing us with HD TV material anytime soon(if the rumours are true).

Looks FULL-HD to me... and the actual look of the TV is nice, I think I'll go have a look at one over the weekend.

My only issue is its a lot of money, and only 8k of a decently spec'd Samsung.
 
8K for a 46" Samsung? I'd buy that waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay before even considering sh!totec. Hell I'd buy a 32" from Samsung or Sony before Chinese crap, no matter how big.

Has anyone actually had some experience with Sinotec? Their prices are great, but if the products are terrible then they're pointless. I've got another budget brand LCD... a Sansui 32" and I've actually been very happy with it. The only problem is my lounge is a little big for a 32" so when I play games with small menu text, I have to move the couch forward, so a bigger telly would be nice.

My parents have the 42" Plasma... TV quality is good, but plugging it into my laptop and it looks crappy.

I think the best way to judge is to go in and check for yourself :)
