takde 508XG owners here?

yay! there's a small kurokuro family here ...

okay .. for 508XG owners or other kuro owners ....

508 only have 2 HDMI port contrary to the 3 HDMI port behind ...

meaning ... Port 1,2 and 3 is RCA based (Yellow, Red and White)

Port 4 and 5 is HDMI - and Port 6 is RCA based again (Y,R and W)

funny thing is .. there is actually 3 HDMI port ....

there was a time, where i thought my HDMI Port 3 already kaput or spoilt, but the port 3 has another RCA port nearby ....

so confirm only 2 HDMI .... one for my BDP and one for Astro ...

my port 3 - RCA i use for my older DVD player ... so the HDMI port 3 is actually a dummy ...

have another Philips BDP mah ... btw - do u guys use Pioneer BDP?

thanks AFD - i've tried to check under Home but can't seem to find it ... can anyone help me specifically pls?

Meaning that M are monitors so they just can receive direct input from source like HDMI, and A's are equipped with tuners to tune channels like RTM1, RTM2 from the general antenna?

p/s : i still haven't compare the chris botti live in boston and with friends yet - owe u first ...

and also the calibration tips u gave me last time, i got lost too course some fields were not available in the 508XG ... : ( as below :

some ppl say 508XG is not Kuro ... because dun have KRP in front ...

anyone can confirm? 508XG is 8th gen .. KRP is 9th gen?

all sifus and bros ...

kuro or non kuro members are also human - nothing special or extraordinary about us ...

just some ppl's preferences whether to spend on kuro or not ... and i dun consider myself elite etc at all ...

just my 2 biji cent ... pls dun marah ...

bro serend .... can help on the below question kah?

some ppl say 508XG is not Kuro ... because dun have KRP in front ...

anyone can confirm? 508XG is 8th gen .. KRP is 9th gen?

betul betul exactly my thoughts

- my respond was to those who think we are some elite or got standard ...

means its true that 508XG is not a kuro loh .... cialat ***

thought i saw somewhere in kuro brochure that 508XG was in ..

nonetheless - just enjoy lah horr ...

i've done that comparison before i bought the 508XG .. with the 40" B7000 ..

finally thought i try the plasma since i have a 42A77 sharp before ...

if u really can maybe go for the KRP once and for all is u choose plasma.

anyone know's how to overcome the recent Astro Byond firmware upgrade?

seems that the pics are in Zoom now instead of stretch ..

can't see the subtitles and ppl's head are cut out ..

kuro settings : FULL

byond : Zoom

suggestions?

hmmm ... .... what's next?

unless u wanna get used from me as i consider getting a KRP500? hehehe...

hahahhaha yalor bro ....

mine sits in my aircond bedroom - so manja ....

got my Avatar today from Amazon - but the Pioneer 51FD cannot play ... cialat - requires some update ..

http://www.digitaltrends.com/entertainment...rking-for-many/

now watching star trek that came along with it first.

so long nvr post already .... here it goes.

calling all Kuro sifus ... i notice after sometime watching astro with the black bar at the top and bottom, i can notice some very mild retention when the screen is blank i.e. no signal during channel change or in plain Input mode with no signal ...

i read around and it seems it is normal as long as during colour playback or picture movie - there is no line visible ...

it seems we can sort of undo this line by :

1. running plain static screen for 1 hour - read in some forum.

2. Kuro has one VIDEO Pattern option that runs 1 hour and OFF automatically after that.

practically this is to burnt the phos back evenly ..... any comments?

Added on August 23, 2010, 4:51 pmin another matter - is it better to set to OPTIMISE setting - cos i watch in a room and sometimes its bright and sometimes pitch black in the nite.

OPTIMISED seems to have automatic brightness control on the screen ...

but i read in the manual - AUTO Brightness setting is available on all other Setting except OPTIMISED but it only automatically controls the brightness of the image ...

hence i am abit confuse - which setting to use - Optimised or Standard with Auto brightness setting ON .. thanks a mil ...
