thanks for sharing bro.. still thinking of pro n cons of gettin a lcd tv instead of led..

This one easy. Ada duit LED, kurang duit LCD. Both works just fine. LED is a actually too bright for prolonged viewing. Nicer blacks...but you need to pay extra RM1K++ for equivalent size.

IMO, is good time to buy LCD now, coz it'll be phased out for LED....can get 40" for rock bottom 1.8k....i just bought a Sharp 40" LCD for RM 1.9k

Just to add to the above article:
The 100Hz thingy is worth the money when it works. Best i saw is Philips HD Natural motion, Sharp's new LED 100Hz and Sony's Motionflow. Those korean 100Hz not really can use....

True true...Sharp 40" 1.9k is damn good lo smile.gif thumbup.gif

Panasonic 100Hz seems ok so far...dunno la bro...sometimes can't tell the difference...maybe my analog astro...waiting for beyond to arrive smile.gif he he...

Exactly. No difference. This goes for my old Sharp 32" LCD as well. Whether watch SD or HD also no difference. That's why i only mentioned the 3 above. Samsung and LG 100Hz doesn't makes much difference either. But those 3 above, can see ultra smooth...like playing games at constant 60 fps...lol.

btw, your WDTV Live still not arriving yet?? smile.gif

Btw, I managed to get the Asus adapter from KL...LYN forumer...i will use that for the WDTV.
DWA140 on the server
Router somewhere in the middle. smile.gif

Yesterday, i did all that u said...and got 2.5MB/s....now full Draft-N and the Belkin is AP with G smile.gif
Kicked the 3rd class citizens tongue.gif

Hopefully when i change the position, will get at least 4MB/s - signal will be stronger.

Will keep you updated smile.gif Tks bro.

Good luck. I have further tested the ASUS N-13 the other day, connecting a laptop nearby the WDTV Live, got about 35Mbps to 39Mbps based on the test done by Passmark, looseley translate to 4.xx MB/s. I think most 1080p mkv files is like 10Mbps++ bit rate only, should be enough most of the time. BluRay max bit rate is 40 Mbps uncompressed i think. So unless you are streaming BD iso, i think it should works 99.99% of the time.

On oh, setting the AP to '40Mhz' actually gives me worst result...now i just set it to 'Auto'.
