ic, same as the 76, made in msia

Not a good idea, it's more expensive than buying from here. Sony dvd players are made in Malaysia leh, why go to US to buy it. The 78 model is selling around RM700 plus in Australia (after converting Aussie dollars to MYR). See?


Somehow I feel that Toshiba Malaysia is slow moving, Toshiba has two types of HD-DVD players, they brought one, the useless one with 1080i plus expensive somemore. Secondly, they didn't bother to bring in HD-DVD titles like what Sony Malaysia did with the help of Mediamax company. Like that how to fight with Blu-Ray leh especially in Malaysia?


They blur blur one lah, Sony probably didn't give their dealers training or briefing during new product launches unlike other brands that I know, Pioneer, Panasonic, Samsung, Sharp, etc.

Nope, all Sony upscaling dvd players come without a HDMI cable. Even PS3 also dun have one. Hahaha. What do ya know, it's a Sony.

It would be a premium product when it is launched. Unless, you are willing to pay for it. Some other ppl will wait for the technology to mature (price falling down). However, by then there might be new tech in TV. Wait for new one and on hold buying laser tv?

How does this "720p1080p Up-Scaling" work? Does it automatically detect the software and upscale the signal to the LCD?

You should select the resolution from the setup menu and it will do the rest. Make sure you have chosen the right settings, don't choose 1080p if your LCD supports 1080i only.

What are the differences between DVP-NS78H and DVP-NS76H besides 720p1080p Up-Scaling?

Both selling the same price ....very interesting.

76H upscales to 1080i only

78H upscales to 1080p

as far as i know, that's the only difference. i'm also wondering if there are any other differences since the price is same.

according to sony shop in klcc..76H discontinued. they only carry 78H there. how true is this i dunno la

i have just paid for a 78H but have to wait for 10 working days b4 it arrives my door coz i bought it from sony website.. hopefully its worth the wait

shudnt be much of a problem since the previous 76h was very good

Yeah me 2, sorry for the incorrect info earlier, the promoter for Sony LCD at BU really push hard for his unit, saying only the high end Sharp Aquos can stand side by side with their V300 series, for Phillips he keep saying its made from China, tats why the price for a full HD 42" unit is so cheap.. Honestly the model I mentioned in d earlier post do look very nice n sharp, its just that when it come to Made In China, the confidence just drops to zero, nowadays too many things make in china, until sometimes I dunno if I want to buy or not.

Besides that, the 78H is lacking some of the picture noise filters from 76H but it's not a big issue anyway since I always switch them off as it makes the picture softer.

tis china issue thing ar...... no komen lar
V300 is not bad one

guys...
i saw 76h selling RM399 only in equine park sony centre...

Added on November 8, 2007, 7:53 pmI guess everybody will choose 78H unless 76H sells cheaper.

I donoh the brand...
but it listed there normal price is RM199...
bundle only RM79..
should be original sony HDMI cable?
it's sony centre..

Yes I think so...coz..I know SONY HDMI cable 1.5m sells at RM 199 and 3.0m sells at RM 299.

That is expensive for a HDMI cable. Lotsa brand are throwing it in for free for HDMI cables.

xetajones... again... it will go back to the HDMI cable war zone (check that thread out).

Anyway, when you guys talking about which player is better... do look at what system you have.
Having a 29" CRT TV does not require N76H or 78H. Output still same.

Having a 32" LCD... usually does not give you any difference in term of 720p and 1080p.

Even having 40 or 42" LCD... you will not see any difference.

But there will b a lot of difference between digital and analog (HDMI/DVI vs S Video/Component)

What is more important is whether the player can play your ahem discs. Whether the response is good or not.

we have discussed many pages on which player earlier and for budget players with HDMI capabilities, seems like Sony N76H is the chosen one. It is capable of playing bad ahem disc and good pic quality.

N78H... I am not sure. But if you only have 42" LCD, why bother about 720p and 1080p? You won't see the difference.

timothy... u know lar.. ppl...
buy phone for sms and callin nia, but the function must be pre equipped kaw kaw mar... same thing lor

yaya...
Just like they buy 3G phone but never subscribe to 3G.
