QUOTE(Lord_Ashe @ Apr 16 2007, 10:48 AM) Right now Best Denki and SenQ have similar deals. The DVD player is also Philips, model DVP595K if I'm not mistaken, with HDMI and Divx compatibility. The DVD player on its own is worth RM 499. And yes, from the DVD player to the LCD is thru HDMI. The downside is that the DVD player only has coax and no optical digital output. Not a problem if you have a good amp. just want to know..is this dvd player region free? i have mixed dvd collections - R1 & R3. i know some upscaling dvd player is region lock. if this model is region free..might thinkin to get it   |

So far they all work well, but I'll go back and test some just to be sure. |

QUOTE(spana @ Apr 16 2007, 01:05 PM) Hi...I just bought myself Sharp 32BX6M yesterday from Sharp/SenQ roadshow at lowyat. Dun worry lar...which ever model you choose...at least you still can afford a LCD TV and enjoy a whole new world of movies & gaming entertainment.After thorough Q&A session with the Sharp rep and also SenQ rep, I finally decided to take up BX6M due to following reason: - 1. BX6M got a S-video connector while PX dont have. I think Astro would work better in S-Video compared to composite...right ? 2. BX6M lcd can swivel while PX can't. 3. BX6M has a side speaker (bigger) which I think should be better in terms of audio output. 4. And finally, the price for BX6M is about few hundres cheaper than PX when all the features and quality remain the same. Anyway, this is just my opnion. Maybe other forumers got other info.  Good buy since S-Video input on Astro definitely an improvement over PQ.  |

Shit, so BX6 has s-video? Damn, I chose PX5M because it looks nicer and has the speakers on the bottom. I need the space and I use my logitech for sound most of the time. Too bad astro looks shit unless watching from afar. Glad you made your decision

You can try bloghdtv.com. Nice materials, but they're all rapidshare so you know what it means
