15 feets? Wau your house must be damn big! For that distance u need at least 42", or 47" if u are greedy.

860 comes with a HDMI cable. 950-no. 860 new chipset. 950 older.

950 got many complain in the forum, 860 lesser as its newer.

Why u must get samsung? need 1 set with ur TV? Go ESH SS21 and test it out. They have the 950 there. It looks terrible on their samsung LCD. May be the LCD not good... check it out first.

house not big lo... wanna buy wall mounted tv so wall mount sofa lah

Do u have the password? it need the password to access

No lah, get an XBOX 360 first, play Gears Of War with me online, then when you're free, you can watch Fast And Furious on HD-DVD......... yeeee haaaa ....... that's something you can't do on a PS3.

First time, I'm disappointed with a Sony product > PS3 (rushed product and failed to deliver as promised )

XBOX need to add the HD adapter for DVD right?

Yeah, it is needed but even though it doesn't have a HDMI output, it managed to smoke PS3's blu-ray playback capabilities, I'm not making this up, it was reported in the CDFreaks website. For gaming, you won't go wrong with XBOX 360, a splendid console indeed.

I'm not anti-Sony now lah but this time Sony really messed up with their PS3 and their Blu-Ray ain't that impressive, most of the movies are on single layer whereas dual layered ones have been developed but majority of the movie studios sticked with single layer, no features, pixellated (using mpeg-2 compression ), not all Blu-Rays are compatible with all players (like Samsung), etc. The only thing impressive about Blu-Rays will be uncompressed PCM audio format and DTS-HD Lossless. That's the only saving grace and honestly, in terms of picture quality, HD-DVD excels in this area and they have less problems than Blu-Rays and I'm sure their future is quite bright now after the announcement of a triple layered HD-DVD discs in the making, that's an added plus.

Hmmm... But I won't buy either one. I will buy Wii and play tennis on my big screen. Kakakaka...

rule of thumb is 3x screen size. go figure.....

eh password??? nvr come across this leh! the last time i tried was just browsing through the contents but didn't come across password thingy....

where does the password request pops up? care to explain?

After i press the Menu button about 6 sec, a password menu pop up.

mine dun have this wor.....straight go to the service menu. interesting....

edit: OK i found this at AVForums


and this

Thank you very much brother. will try it tonight.

Wii is very girlish lah, buy XBOX 360 lah, be a man, play Gears Of War, it rocks.

Kakaka...

I am fat... if I sit there longer without moving, I'll be fatter. Arrghhh... At least Wii give me the reason to move...

I'm really hoping for Microsoft to release a HDMI cable quick for Xbox 360,without it we can't take advantage of the HD-DVDs' full 1080p resolution.Component output only allows up to 1080i

EDIT: I figured if I used a VGA cable instead of component I could choose a higher resolution thus be able to access 1080p resolution.That should work theoratically

Wei wei, backlight control very important geh? I tot just make a lower brightness preset for night use?

IMHO, no matter how much u spend on a LCD, it's still only a LCD. It will come with it's similar trait of drawbacks. The difference between models is perhaps the severity of the problem. Even that is subjected to ur luck.

best DVD player in the world currently = Toshiba's HD DVD XA2. $999 = cheaper than some of the high end DVD players.

You have tested it? If not, how you know its best?
$999 is overseas, coming in to Malaysia will need to add tax.

It will probably end up like Optoma Projector H70 which retail price in the USA is $999 and it is selling RM5k+ (some offering RM6k+).

Is there any DVD player selling more than RM5k in Malaysia?

Best player in the world? Nobody dares to make sure a bold claim. How about Denon 2930? There's no way Toshiba can beat it and it's cheaper too, only RM3200 and it plays SACDs and DVD-Audios.

I have a distance of 11ft bettween LCD TV and sitting position. right now, I am 80% towards Toshiba Regza 37" (less than 5K). I wonder any guy with regza can give some comment on banding, dead pixel.

It looks to me that Toshiba has had good sales, when I was at Desa and other electrical shops, I saw the units are being shipped out. When I saw the Astro channels on the LCD TV, the picture quality is like spending RM 5000 on a RM 1000 CRT tube.

Some say Toshiba is more natural color than the Samrung R series. If I add 900 buck, I can get 42" LG (the other 20%). For that viewing distance, should i consider 42 "

Currently who is the leader on LC TV sales in Malaysia?QTY wise - Sharp, LG, Samsung? agree
