QUOTE(bysquashy @ Apr 26 2007, 12:21 AM) You can try to pm silencer (sorry ya bro, you are the only 1080p I sold). Or you can read his review in my thread, pros and cons. bro bysquashy, between BX6M (using s-video) and PX5M (using composite) which one better for Astro. Have you made side by side comparison? |

QUOTE(ymjay @ Apr 25 2007, 03:14 PM) just wanna ask.... Samsung 46incher at 1080p (LA46F71B..model maybe) is at RM 9k in Sabah, Malaysia.. if 40incher 1080p available .. should be much cheaper?... maybe RM 6 to 7k..?personally, i havent seen a 1080p movie or game on a LCD before so i just want to know whether 1080p will make any significant difference to a 40 inch LCD TV? (if compared to 720p or 1080i) its because a SONY bravia X (40) is 15k ++ compared to a SONY V series which is about 7k for the same size... Any other brand that is just as good? (like SHARP ) any opinion is greatly appreciated cheers However samsung is unable to do 1:1 on some pc/hdmi inputs.. as it overscans the pictures... no options on the tv to select 1:1 This post has been edited by BeastX: Apr 26 2007, 05:56 PM |

Atleast then theres a chance of getting HD broadcasts. |

Strange for Astro to offer this when they could not offer the said digital sound in its programme. Marketing gimmick again? |
