If i were you, I will upgrade to a BD player first before upgrading to 7.1.

If u have an AVR (with Dolby ProLogicIIx) you can matrix a DVD soundtrack (5.1) to 7.1. Actual BDs with 7.1 channels is also limited...

After notice there are no 7.1 DVD,
i though i was cheated by salesman as his saying i will have nice sound effect with 7.1 spks

luckily u tell me tat can matrix out by AVR to 7.1
almost call the salesman n argue with him regarding this.

yes, my AVR got ProLogicIIx.

thks for the help

was really down just now as thought no sound effect fr back surround spks.

really appreciate.

somehow i dun like matrixing , u dun get the real effect of the movie liao, just to have sounds at ur speakers nia

but someone say my 37" Toshiba LCD HD ready will c little effect fr BD player, need to have >50" True HD LCD only can c the different.
is tat correct?

later after BD player, then need to upgarde LCD TV to 50"
really spending big $ on AV

how to get Home Minister approval ah..

thks

er.. who is that someone ar?

friend loh. if salesman will push me to upgrade all....

not true? so, 37" HD Ready can have a lot of diffrence with BD campre with original DVD?

thks.

if you go higher than 5.1, u'll need bigger space...

if space is restricted, the panning and sound separation can't be heard clearly, so pointless to have...

and due to that, not all dvd titles are mixed with 6.1 DD surround-ex since 5.1 are sometimes more than enough

btw - matrixed sound won't give the same effect as discrete surround...not advisable to use that...but try it firstlah, see whether ur gonna like it or nit,

Get Cars. Good DD-EX 6.1 DVD. The surround is excellent.

If you want dedicated (not matrix-ed) surround channel, get any title with DTS-ES 6.1 (Dare Devil Director's cut is a good one)

People talking about sound, you are talking about picture

About your pic question, maybe salesman means 37" LCD whether HD ready (1366x768) or FULL HD (1920x1080) will be hard to tell the difference from 6ft. Both will look just as good with BD player. But if your LCD is 42" upwards then get the Full HD.
