Alright so I've had a Playstation 3 for like 2 months now and I've been discouraged to play because I dont have a nice flat screen monitor to play it on. Please! If anyone wants to get ready of their, preferably 26-32 inch (hopefully 1080p), flatscreen tv/monitor for a decent price, please do not hesitate to hit me up! Thanks for your time!

Blackjack, appreciate it but I'm looking for something a little smaller and possibly portable back to the states. 32inch is the biggest i would go, but I would prefer 26inch to be honest. And I figured it would be easier to get from somebody on here who's either leaving Korea or willing to part with their possession.

You can get a nice 32 LCD HD LG tv online in korea for around 600-700. Check enuri....

also plasmas in the 800,ooo range here tend not to be full 720p HD in my experience (like 1024x728). Make note of that....

also, if you have a decent computer monitor, you can get a VGA cable or DVI/HDMI cable to use to play games in HD resolution....it works great although playing games on a 22 inch gets old....I think I wanna get a 42 inch even though I don't play much.

EDIT: If you really want a small monitor, I can sell you my PC LCD screen for 160,000......22 inches and can double as game and computer screen(it has two inputs).

@ Ukon- Exactly man, thats the kind of monitor Im looking for with the hd resolution. I'm going to be picky though and politely decline your offer for your 22inch. I know its only 4 more inches (to the 26inch) but honestly it makes a difference to me. Really appreciate it though.

@ Blackjack- thanks for the website but the link seems to lead to nowhere (well somewhere but not the right place). I did look at some of the 26 and 32 inches before and I didnt have much luck finding a good one for a decent price. I wish I knew where to look in Yongsan or else I would probably try to look there.

Anyways my brothers, thanks for all the help.

Three months ago we got a Triview 32" LCD from Gmarket for 530.000 won shipped. It's definitely a bargain compared with the brand names, and we love it. I play my Xbox on 720p and it's awesome (it'll run 1080p, but the picture wasn't as good). Oh, and it has English menus, which was a pleasant surprise.

Wow, that LG looks beautiful and from the specs it seems as though the picture will be amazing as well. They would probably have this bad boy in Yongsan, right? Anyone know of a good shop to get it from? Looking for the deals! Oh and anyone heard of the brand BTC? Some guy who was selling one before told me that his Korean friend said that it was the best budget brand for LCD monitors that you could get in Korea. Let me know. Oh and thanks for the links and the feedback!
