hey guys, a bit off topic here...i'm planning to get an upconversion dvd player real soon...just wondering if those calibration discs like DVE, AVIA etc is best used with the normal dvd player or an upconversion player to calibrate my lcd tv?
*
AVIA should be more user friendly. DVE, you must play from beginning and wait they talk cok.



But heck... make sure you get a good HDMI player. It is the most important for your LCDs or plasmas or Projector. Digital all the way. 720p or 1080p, although there is difference, but the effect is not as "geng"

Have just got myself the 76H. Wonderful piece of equipment I must say.

Just out of curiosity, those who own this player as well, what do set for the HDMI colorspace...RGB or YCrBr? i tried turning on the BNR and MNR..but doesn't seem to have any effect on the PQ. Maybe my eyes are deceiving me..lol
*
Nice on the 76H. tongue.gif
For me, I did not touch on the player's settings. I just set it on normal color. Then use my projector as the guidelines. So, if I were to set, it will be the projector.

QUOTE(Thrust @ Dec 3 2007, 06:30 PM)
Bro, if possible, try to avoid S-Video cable. This is the cable of the past. Get component or HDMI for best picture quality. S-Video is more or less the same as component only.
*
U can't run away from S Video. Its the cable u need for Astro. If not, you need to run Coax cable and do normal tuning.

thanks for the feedback guys. experimented with the BNR and MNR settings and you're right..PQ very soft when it's on...it's nice in a way but unreal. had to get closer to the lcd tv to observe the difference. tested all my old ahem dvds and the feeling is like....whoa..so clear after the 76H does the upconversion. the 76H is the single most value for money product i purchased this year thumbup.gif

btw, can someone advice on the RGB..YCrBR setting on the 76H? i'm using HDMI..not component. Which seting is better? My lcd tv also has the option of choosing RGB, YCrBr4:4:4, and YCrBr4:2:2. Sorry I'm still learning abt all this. appreciate your feedback  biggrin.gif
*
IT is notthe upconvert that made you feel Whoa... but ts the Digital vs Analog whoa factor.

Anyway... if not mistaken, when you use HDMI, your player automatically unable to do setting right? (I forgot already).

Elo. Why don't you use the DVI input?
If this is too troublesome, then the Philips will be a better choice as it has the USB port.

Or, how big is your TV? 14"?

The mot obvious improvement when move from analog to digital is the flickers. In analog, for example Astro, you will see lines gong up and down your screen/TV but for digital, its clear and smooth.
Not so much on 720p or 1080p... this one only obvious when u have bigger TV/Screen.

Don't buy Samsung HD-950 HDMI DVD Player, it is terrible!! (in picture quality) I mean, when you play DVD in 576p using HDMI, the video is worse than Speedy DVD player using S-Video cable, in fact, I think Speedy's player is much much better when viewing 576p in my Samsung 37'' LCD. When viewing in 720p@1080i, the video looks posterized, some sort of sketchy in the edges. If you buy pirate DVDs (3 in 1 collection), many lines appeared on the video, i think it is Ultra-Interlacing technology. When you play DivX, the video will stretches itself into the whole screen. Ugghh.. moreover, it says that it can upconvert videos to 768p, but this feature is unavailable. Please, don't buy this player, I bought this for RM599, Better stick to SONY.

Does Samsung LA37S8 37'' LCD TV supports 1080p? Bcuz I want to buY SONY NS78H that supports 1080p upscaling. Bcuz some HD Ready TV (1366 X 768) also supports 1080p. One more thing, which DVD player (76H n 78H) is better in quality when playing 720p?
*
Don't think many of us have the oportunity to own both 76 and 78 and having a 1090p and 720p at the same time.
Sometimes, don't compare too much. Your Samsung does not support 1080p, and probably only reach 720p. Seriously, the main concern is not 720p or 1080p especially for a display that is only 37inch. It is more like digital or analog signal.

The digital signal would already blow your brains out if you have not tried before. The difference between 1080 and 720 is considered minimal for such TV size.

guys...im in the middle of an LCD TV search and i found a very tempting offer from Samsung up til 18th Fen 2008

LA40R81BX 40" LCD TV for RM 6399... FREE DVD-HD870

my question is... can this player play DVDs from US? coz i have a tendency of buying DVDs from amazon.com and wanna make sure that it can read those DVDs.
*
Samsung DVD is kinda "adjusted" for local market which is able to play ahem disc without much problem and region free. So, no worries. The only worry or concern is... "Do I want to keep the player or get a Sony 78H? brows.gif brows.gif

QUOTE(sunauto @ Jan 4 2008, 12:40 AM)
Well, 989 doesn't do 1080p and second hand one is around RM500 to RM600 in the market. I regretted paying RM3000 for it a few years back.  doh.gif  However, it's a good sounding dvd-audio and sacd deck. Dvd performance is good but it doesn't handle poor quality discs that well as the ones from Sony. If I could transplant the lens mechanism from Sony to my 989, that will be great.  brows.gif

Ha! HA! RM500 is goooooddd... whistling.gif whistling.gif
It is still a good player. Only that, it is meant for rich people with all original DVDs. He! He!

Well, original dvds don't cost that much nowadays, some are RM39.90 to RM59.90 unlike last time, I used to buy them around RM130 to RM160 plus but to be frank, no matter what, we still want a dvd player which is not choosy about the media because there are cases of poorly authored original dvds like those Rm9.90 Chinese movies from Speedy Videos, those discs are thin and light weight, they don't play well on certain players.
*
Those RM9.90 DVD has no diff compared to ahems.

Anyway, to me, RM39.90 is still kinda high. I bought my 2 layers D9s only for RM5 (in China) and around RM7 in Sibu. Somore double layer. drool.gif drool.gif

Actually, most if not all DVD players in Malaysia is region free...
What you can do is bring a few of your own collection and test it first. Like it.. then buy
