I just got a 32 inch Pensonic (not Panasonic) at NCCC Mall in Davao City. It is 720p, but good enough till later, when I start using it as a computer monitor. I have Cignal satellite service. Lots of good movies, but no hockey. I have to stream that on my new Mac Book Pro, with retina display. It works for me.
I am not so much into TV, but I have G-sat which is all I want. I could, however, use a better monitor. I assume that monitors, as in computer, will work OK for TV, as long as they have Video and audio input jacks.
