So I am sure you’re all dying to know what TV I bought and in this installment I’ll share with you. I like to share!
The choices were as followed: 28″ ViewSonic VX2835WM, 32″ LG, 32″ Samsung LN32A550P1, 37″ Proton 37-TF68P. So which one did I pick? None of the above. While doing more research I came across a beauty that I just couldn’t resist.
Some of you probably haven’t heard of Chimei before. Well let me educate you. Chimei is the world’s 4th and Taiwan’s 2nd largest maker of LCD panels. So even though you might not have heard of them, they aren’t some shitty off brand. The model I bought is a Chimei 37″(TL-37S2100D) Full HD LCD TV.
So what’s so cool about this TV? Well I am glad you asked. Here are some stats for you: 37″ Full HD(1080p) widescreen HDTV. It has a 6.5ms response time, 500 cd/m2 brightness, 2500:1 contrast ratio and is sexy piano black. It has one connector for cable and a separate one for an antennae which can receive digital radio if you so choose to. It packs 2 HDMI connectors, 2 A/V composite(red/white/yellow), 2 component cables(red/green/blue), 1 VGA computer connector with audio port, 1 headjack port, and 1 S-Video port. Basically everything you need. It was reasonably priced too at $33,900NT with shipping. Even cheaper than the 32″ Samsung I was thinking about buying!
I am so glad I bought this, I couldn’t stand playing my PS3 on my old crappy 480i standard definition TV. Not only did the games look like shit, but everything was so small and blurry it was sometimes hard to read important things. Here is a comparison.
Crappy 480i SDTV
Awesome 1080p HDTV
While my photo taking skills are not the best, trust me when I say that it is an awesome set and totally worth it.

Looks like you made a good choice. I’ve got the 32″ samsung — never been disappointed with it either.

I am so happy with the 37″. 32″ would of been great, but I think after a while I would of wanted more.

I own the 40gb Special Edition Metal Gear Solid 4 PS3. I currently have: Metal Gear Solid 4, Ratchet and Clank Future, Burnout Paradise, Grand Theft Auto 4, Lego Indiana Jones, Soul Caliber 4, PixelJunk Monsters and PixelJunk Eden(PSN Games).
MGS4 was an amazing game, and I’m currently in my second play through. Ratchet and Clank was awesome fun and I recommend it highly.
I’m currently playing Lego Indiana Jone, but I must warn you, that the game is 10 times better if you play it co-op with a friend. I’m also trying to finish Grand Theft Auto 4.
My American PSN name is FrostfoxTW. Hit me up with a friend request.
