QUOTE(Lord_Ashe @ Feb 3 2006, 09:52 AM) Yup I agree with xxboxx. Try watching an astro broadcast via S-video on a Pixel Plus 2/DRC set. Even the A Team looks like it was just filmed last week instead of 20 years ago. However, normal terrestrial reception won't differ so much because we're still relying on good old RF. QUOTE(xxboxx) anyone thinking about buying the samsung slimfit 32" WS-32Z31HE widescreen should take notes of this. it seem that even thought the tv support 1080i, it is only @50Hz. in other words, this is a PAL tv. ps2/xbox/xb360 ntsc console will output 1080i @60Hz, which is the standard Hz for ntsc system. what happen if you hook up ntsc system running 1080i on HDTV PAL is you get a blank screen. This is good info, and only confirmed my suspicions that Samsung's looking to make a quick buck in the entry-level HD-ready TV market. Maybe this'll save someone RM 4000? erghh... then what happens for sets which supports 1080i/1080p @ 60Hz only?? can only play ntsc machines?? btw.. i'm refering to Philips PT8845... which among others supports the followings: 480p 60Hz 720p 50, 60Hz 1080i 60Hz 1080p 60Hz why can't everyone just agree on one standard and stop confusing the consumers...  |

QUOTE(Matrix @ Feb 7 2006, 09:53 AM) The DA model is the predecessor. I think specs is almost same except for some minor enhancement in the DB model. Anyway, the DA model is obsolete already(not in production anymore) and has been replaced by the DB model. Thus, you should buy the DB model, not DA model. Always buy latest version!!!  oo.. okie.. i thot so too... but since the sony website still show both.. and the DA being more expensive.. i thot there's some xtra features in DA which was removed in the DB model.. |

QUOTE(tripleB @ May 25 2006, 05:20 PM) Well, that's an interesting outlook on things. True, HDMI may or may not be that much better than component, but I guess it's a must for Sony, what with their idea of DRM and stuff. As for me, I think I can afford to live with my 29 inch Toshiba CRT HDTV (model 29JZ9UES). It's got what I require dead-on, namely 720p and 1080i resolution. When that Xbox 360 is within reach, I'll be ready to swap out my PS2 with the 360 in place. tripleB... most of the ppl here go with sony or philips for their HDTV... since you're using toshiba... would you mind highlighting us on the performance of ur tv? how is it compared with Sony DRC or Philips Pixel Plus/PP2... I'm sure you've compared them before making your purchase rite? thanks... |

QUOTE(Kantao @ Nov 8 2006, 05:23 PM) 2.) In Malaysia market now have any HDMI device graphic card? don't think so... since it's a graphic card, it will not carry any sound signal... unless there's a two-in-one graphic+sound card which i'm aware of... |
