Any opinions on the newly available 32" Panasonic TC-32LZ800? It's a IPS panel and can be had for just over $900 according to pricegrabber: http://electronics.pricegrabber.com/plasma-lcd-televisions/m/67388076/search=TC32LZ800/st=query/ Seems like a hell of a deal. Panasonic Info page...

Is there any way to adjust the backlight brightness when hooked up to a video source (PS3)? It doesn't seem to let you go into the quick adjustments for brightness and contrast (up/down button) when it's not getting a PC (or in my case Mac) signal. Anyone mess around with any of the settings...

I would see if any of the Best Buys in your area have any left. I just got mine on Friday for ~$515 with tax and am using it with my PS3 and MacBook as well. Some BB's have had it on clearance for much cheaper than mine did which is why I was probably still able to find one new in box. Maybe you...

Sweet deal, When I was at my somewhat local BB Friday (Harrison st San Francisco) and saw they had it on clearance for $470 (1 left in box and 1 on display) I tried to get them to pricematch a lower clearance price but they wouldn't, there weren't any other BB in my area that had them so I...

I posted this a while back but here it is again. I took this picture of the first one I got from newegg. It's not like a normal screen door effect where there is a thin grid around the pixels, it's as if the the grid is thicker than normal, primarily the horizontal part of the grid. Happens in...

I got one today at BB in San Fran. Hooked it up before I left (had to set it up on a chair by the exit) saw the dreaded screen door in the right hand corner. Returned it. Saw they had 1 LG 24" L246WP left (new in box), even though the clearance price was $467.99 and they wouldn't match the much...

Can you post the manufacturing date or code of the good one? I might try to pick one up before the sale is over but having had 2 with SDE in the right corner from newegg I want to maximize my chances of getting a good one. This might help others too. Thx

Get the G2400w it has an extra input (hdmi) plus has scaling modes which is good if you ever want to hook up a xbox 360, PS3, etc to it.

Both of mine from newegg had the buzzing once you turned the brightness down, I was more annoyed with the grainy upper right corner than the buzzing. I'm half tempted to try another from best buy mainly because of the cheap price plus the fact it's not a TN.

http://it.tom.com/2007-10-31/0071/20984031.html Chinese review (so sorry I incorrectly said it was Japanese branana) that shows it hooked up to a PS3 and shows that it has scaling modes. Damn this was $300 at tigerdirect last month. here are more pics and info this time in Spanish I think...

I've also been trying to compile info on new 32" 1080p's These are a couple more that I found. Samsung LN32A550P "The 1080p (1920x1080) resolution 5 series adds touch-sensitive controls on the cabinet, three total HDMI inputs (one on the side), and a side-mounted USB 2.0 port. It includes the...

WOW I wonder if these are going to be TN panels. That would be horrible! And a 24" with a 1680x1050 resolution seems really dumb. Thanks for the info though!

Pixels are staggered? This image was posted in this thread on the GP1 which has the same lcd panel i think: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=12584652&posted=1#post12584652 Anyone with one of these find this bothersome? I have one ordered for pickup but it hasn't come in yet.

This is going to be on sale at Best Buy for $450 this Sunday. I'd pick one up if it wasn't for the overscan issue.

Wow I had to pay to ship back both of my monitors to Newegg and after some civil arguing with them I finally got the 2nd return switched from a replacement to a refund, but with a 15% restocking fee. In total I probably spent around $100 plus the time wasted shipping the monitors back. I don't...

I think this will be the next monitor I buy, IF the Rev2 doesn't crop PS3 via HDMI . I don't want a TN panel and after 2 messed up Westy 24's this seems like my best bet.

Back from Emeryville, CA Best Buy, the display model has the grainy right side problem too! This may be extremely widespread, I'm sure a lot of people have the problem but don't notice it because they sit back far enough so it doesn't really show up as much. I'm done with this monitor, newegg is...

excessum I know Ive read a lot of other people say that the VGA connection is a ton better than the component cables. So it should definitely look better hooked up that way. Of course HDMI would be even better but since that is not an option for your xbox vga is the way to go. not sure about...

I'm glad pnoyboy3241 got a good one because now it seems a few of us have had the graininess on the right side. I didn't get to best buy to check out their display yesterday, it's disappointing to hear that mglukhovsky's Best Buy had a westy on display that exhibited the defect. Newegg won't...

Looks just like the 1st. This monitor only has one stuck pixel instead of 3 like I had on the first but the graininess on the upper right corner looks exactly the same. I sent both newegg and westinghouse an email along with the picture I made showing the difference between the sides. I'm going...

Just got my replacement and this one still has the grainy/screen door effect on the right side. Extremely unhappy, I'm hoping to get my money back from newegg, if that doesn't happen I'm going to get a replacement directly from westinghouse this time i guess.

Oh man that stinks! I should hopefully have my replacement from newegg today (had to bribe one of my friends to hang out at my apartment while I'm at work). I hope the new one is good and I post as soon as I get to check it out. If you (Metrolens) get yours swapped please report back as to how...

It's not a TN panel, kinson emailed Westy customer service. From page 5: "Talked to a supervisor at WH, he apparently owns the same monitor as all of us, so I told him the situation. He said to me "I'm sorry for the confusion but I promise you, what we say on our website is what you own...

Thanks for the response. I sent newegg an email, yeah its like there is a major screen door effect on the one side and not on the other. It also has 3 stuck pixels which I was gonna deal with because they are all low on the panel and not very noticeable but the grainy/screen door effect on the...

Well I finally got my L2410NM and of course with my luck I have a problem. The top left side is grainy in comparison to other areas. I took a picture of a quicktime trailer in the top left and then the top right there is a huge difference when you get close, very hard to notice sitting back a...

read this thread: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1232905&page=2&highlight=acer the acer doesn't scale 1080p correctly it will just stretch it to 1200p and make it look like crap. The Acer would be a bad choice for ps3, that why I ordered a Westy 24", should be here today!

Just because it supports a resolution higher than 1080p doesn't mean that it will display 1080p content correctly. I was going to get the newer model, the Acer P241WBD which has both DVI and HDMI hookups but when you feed it a 1080p resolution it stretches the 1920x1080 image to 1920x1200 which...

I just ordered one of these from newegg. Seems like the only negative is the input lag which is still less than what my Dell 24" 2405fpw was (45-50ms at 60hz). It didn't seem to bother me on that monitor which I sold before moving from NY to CA a couple months ago. Hope I like this monitor! I...

Well I took in my MacBook to a Circuit City and hooked it up to the p241 they had on display via hdmi to see if there were any scaling options in the menu and there were none. It looked very nice at 1920x1200 but when I changed the resolution on my MacBook to 1920x1080 it stretched the image and...

Wow that's crazy! I suggested it after reading this: "A consumer cannot be charged a restocking fee if a product is defective. Then they have the right to a full refund or exchange." It's from this article: http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?section=7on_your_side&id=4875580

Alusnova as long as the monitor you are returning is "defective" you will not get charged the restocking fee. Now do us all a favor and crack open that box!

I 2nd ChadVader's questions. I actually started a thread about the 24" before this thread was put up on the 22" but this thread seems to be getting more action. My thread: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1232821 ChadVader did you check to see if it actually has both DVI and HDMI? I...

Of course my CC doesn't have one on display when I went to go try and check it out yesterday. If its kinda like a FHD2400 without the extra video inputs that would be perfect for me as long as I could do Xbox 360 and PS3 scaled correctly over HDMI.

I was checking out LCDs today and I have to say seeing this Westinghouse right next to the LG 24" at bestbuy I liked the Westy better! Image was less washed out when viewed from the sides and I could see backlight leakage on the LG. There was an Acer P241WBD that I wanted to check out at Circuit...

Right now its $450 but next weeks sales flyer shows it at $399. Any info on this monitor? I can't find anything. The sales flyer says it has both HDMI and DVI but the website says "dual digital D-sub and HDMI inputs. I have a $40 off movers coupon which could possibly make it $360 but if it's...

Does anyone have this monitor or have any info on it? Because it has a HDCP DVI port and its native resolution is 1280x720 I was thinking that with an DVI --> HDMI adapter it might make a descent cheap ($160 after a $40 off 199 "movers" coupon at Circuitcity) monitor for hooking up a PS3 or...

CompUSA has this monitor for $639 after a $60 mail in rebate. Someone go buy one and hook up a PS3 to it and let me know how it performs! Thx...
