I don't have Bluray drive in my PC, but I do have the Bluray file in my PC.
Compare with my PC, ok... using KMPlayer, then the Geforce graphic card, then with my Philips HTS3562/98, actually there is not much different.
Both source play nice on my Panasonic P50VT20K.

You only have to make sure the source is in high quality 720p or 1080p, doesn't matter it is a ripped MKV, MP4, or uncompressed Bluray, you will get almost same result.

picture quality i might agree with you..
but audio is no no..

maskedchan,

Even picture quality is debatable. There are a lot of unknowns. Some of them are:

1. The software used to play the movies behave differently from each other. Some convert RGB to YCbCr, some don't. Some clip whiter than white and blacker than black and some don't. Each firmware from the software players are also different.

2. Some displays recognize PCs as PCs (during initial EDID) and forces displays to revert to RGB PC Levels. This can cause crush or elevated black levels.

3. Multiple conversions of colour space. As I said, displays accept both YCbCr and RGB and some do worse with one compared to the other.

4. Video cards are also know to cause gamma curve alterations especially if the inbuilt profile is not defeated.

5. Both hardware and software can cause weird colour errors that cannot be explained at some times.

If someone has the knowledge, tools and the patience, yes its possible but its more work than people think.

that true but not all people will notice the small different on picture quality..
infact, you need to side by side comparison to spot on this..

last time i did the test on ps3 and dedicated bluray player..
i need to playback few times before i able to spot the different of color between this two devices..
maybe my eyes not that good...i am four eyes btw smile.gif

I believe the rate used for CC is ususall higher than the Exchange Rates that Banks quote as Visa / Master wants to earn some inter-change. Typically it can be as high as 5% higher than the Bank exchange as both Visa / Master and your issuing Credit Card wants to earn this exchange rate gain.
*
Yes...i going to be higher than bank exchange rate but not to 5%...most like around 2-2.5% more depending on bank..
that why i say use the bank tt rate to estimate the budget not the exact figure for the budget..
base on my survery, maybank does offer the best exchange rate for cc comparing with the rest of the bank in malaysia.
