If going digital (rumors), then both no difference.

But atm, since its SD, Plasma is better since SD look more nicestest on Plasma.

If Astro is so important, buy Plasma, so you can enjoy Astro even when not yet HD smile.gif

I was informed that Astro already launch the new decoder with componet out instead of S-video.

For those who wants it... the trick is..

Cancel current subsciption and re-subscribe to get a new decoder.
By now Astro realized that many LCD/Plasma dont come with S-video anymore. Also the AVR is abondoning s-video too. So... is time to change.
But I think Astro will use the HD and Word Cup next year to boost sales. This component output just a stepping stone to resolve the problem of no S-video in many new LCD/Plasma TV.

So,...... I think it will happen next year. And Sales will be good. Start buying it stock... ha ha ha ha

how do you quantify the 10-20 PQ improvement?

what kind of super duper alien alloy monster cable are made of that make it better than other cable?

Maybe HDMI not so big difference la, but for analog cables, the quality does play a big part icon_idea.gif

why people always said astro stream is over compressed? it is the standard pal video with 720x576 resolution  or better known as 625i, comparing to our nighbouring country such as thailand satellite TV true vision , which has only 544x576
