QUOTE(htkaki @ Apr 29 2007, 04:23 PM) I guess every1 is still pondering when Astro will upgrade its broadcast sys and its PQ. Another request : Component output please for nex gen decoder    If Astro Max did have component atleast... it would have been a slightly better buy. Atleast then theres a chance of getting HD broadcasts. |

QUOTE(Lone*Wolf @ Jan 24 2008, 08:06 PM) Thanks for the first reply, Gahleon! 1) Component splits its video signals through 3 cables instead of Composite's one. More over, the point in getting Component is to enable progressive scan and it is also the bare minimum to get 720p(HD) as well. Theres really a no brainer here, getting component is the way to go. Those RM100+ or even RM300 component cables are nothing but pure rip-offs. Just go to Jalan Pasar and pick up a no-name component cable for RM20. No difference what so ever. My old DVD Player is pre-HDMI so no HDMI ...  Anyway, back to Composite v. Component. I think I should make it clearer that I have already got Composite cables (free with any player  ) but should i buy the Component cable since i am getting a LCD TV? Heard the cheapo component cables (sub RM100) doesn't really make much difference fr the Composite ones and that I should get the RM200-RM300 ones to really make a difference. So, question is :-1) What improvement Component cables have (over Composite)? (Resolution? Colour?). Is it really that apparent? 2) If there is big difference, then do i need to buy so expensive Component cable? Or the 'normal' ones will do? How much is the 'reasonable' price? Thanks again  2) As said, avoid buying expensive component cables(hell, avoid buying expensive video cables). A generic no-name RM20 component cable does just as well as an overpriced rip-off RM200 cable. I wouldn't pay more than RM50 for a component cable though. |
