already surveyed few shops in kl..cheapest is in houzdepot rm459. they give out a rm10 voucher so the price is rm449. still looking the best best price...other shops quote rm499 after discount (they said/showed me samsung promotion brochure - it was rm899 on it). saw a few demos and this model loads bluray damn fast compared to others!!! less then 20secs...other brands average time is about 40secs - 1minute.

can someone confirm to me if i setup the allshare function with my desktop and laptop, does it plays all my movie collections (avi/mkv/wmv) with upscale to 1080p or at least 720p?

my tv is a samsung 40" and has a usb port for playing media contents. i tried a few movie files and it plays well..but no upscale. also tried mkv file with 720p resolution. it shows quality like a astro byond. wonder if my tv can load 1080p mkv file with more than 4gb size..but then i dont have a bigger size usb drive..only 4gb..

thanks for the information..one more question..from those demo i saw in shops, the player wont resume playback of a bluray/dvd if stopped or turned off. it loads the menu again..my old pioneer dvd player resumes playback with a memory up to 15 discs. or there are settings for this? or this player (being the entry level only) does not have this function?

i kinda like the remote..easy to find in the dark (glow in the dark buttons!). i always watch movies in dimmed light to experience the clarity of the pics and sound. and poof!!! the remote is easily found with glowing green buttons..love it!! thinking to change all my remote (tv/astro/amps/) buttons to glow in the dark too!!!
if only i know where to get these custom made...
