if BD 60 consider the JVC XVBP1 also does support mkv (temporarily limited to 4gb )
no local warranty same as oppo 83

Cool. Tnx for your reply. Will add to my list.
But any idea where is the best place I can check out all these models (side by side comparison)?

just get dune2..

not much reviews la bro,

dont mind posting site with reviews, so we can really Look, C and compare
thanks

what display you using again, I think maybe display also need to be taken into consideration to see which will match together well.. BDP/display
maybe bro anfield can give insights in this..

Sony 50" 1080i 3LCD Projection TV
thanks

you join chewkl's RPTV gang ar?

I saw Harvey Norman over here got lots of 51FD. Too bad they don't have any branches over at your location.

Thanks for the replies guys.
Mine is Sharp 42" 63M series. 60Hz era fellow.
I suppose it won't really be able to take full advantage of those higher end players? My two cents.

you get the idea where I was heading...

I mean, new model players come out every year, why pay to get this years flagship player when display isn't up to par to take advantage..
especially with BD, we just treat the BDP as bare transport via HDMI.. everything pipe to the AVR and TV to decode (when playing BD materials)..
when upgrade the Display time say 2years later, those mid/entry priced BDP players also will surpass 2years ago flagship BDP already

Does it accept a 24Hz signal? Else it would be important to get a proper BD player that can output at 1080p/60Hz to minimize post processing errors in ur set.

As ar188 says, the display is one of the most important aspects of the HT. Any deficiencies will show up there...

bro, when coming to KL.. ?? should meet at mpyw's place can TKSS there..

Will let u know the next trip. Yeah, want to check out his new Marantz and Dune as well! Will let u know.

we ask htkaki to bring bazooka SVS to his house also.. poison him..

already have your thoughts in mind,

My preference is to have a good BD player, with good CD playback thru dedicated Analog outs, to replace my existing player, Mc'Cormack Prism II as i have already sold of all my Hi-fi separates.

If i were to get the OPPO 83 (its only the Warranty status and whether its worth the "RM" being spent or not, else will be the 51FD ) that supports SACD, MKV, then it make sense for me to sell off the Mc'Cormack Prism II, I know SACD maybe is near EOL

If i cant find one to substitute, then will downgrade and follow your way

Added on August 17, 2009, 11:20 pmI agree, as i believe there are still many people ( maybe ratio 1:30 ) that have LCD's and projectors which do not support the 1080/24p signal as well as 36 and 48 deep colour

my way is just the cost conscious method.. if you do feel otherwise, you are welcome to help the domestic economy..

My TV does not support 24p. Bummer. <1yr old and already feeling the obsolete-ness.
Will look for a BDP that outputs at 60Hz.
Thanks anfieldude and ar188.

cost conscious with reasonable facts that maximise usage, "Its beyond unreasonable doubt"

On the contary i heard some Sifu's mumbling b4, that if you can get a source that can say output to the max of 1080/24p at 48 deep colour its definitely better than standard BD Player that outputs at 1080p, so your LCD will have a better pix when it downscale back

anybody can support this theory??
thanks

have to wait for sifu anfield.. he seen /calibrated quite a number of tellys to notice them..
