Does anybody know if the Sony DVPNS55PB is any good? it is only RM178

Is the NS76H(European version?) same as NS75H(north american version?).

Now, anyone sell Samsung HD850, I'll buy it straightaway. My Philip TV even better than the Sony one. Can play 1080p. But unfortunately, no DVD player support it.

Haiz, I think you do not understand like Timothy. Our CRT TV just support component. So there's no way HD-DVD and Blueray able to output HD signal to our TV thru component. Thanks for your suggestion anyway

Ok, the whole story is like this:

Philip TV can accept 1080p but only through component.

Legally (means according to law), HD signal must be used through HDMI/DVI with HDCP (protected mode).

Eventhough component can carry 1080p (eventhough noisy), but major DVD player maker cannot make a DVD player that output 1080p through component. If they do, maybe they'll be sued.

So there's no DVD player can output 1080p through component legally.

what do you mean by "it's not a pure digital signal"

it's pointless telling someone who already owns a TV that can display 1080p without HDMI that "its not practical to make" Wouldn't it be possible for you to visit him and look at the TV yourself, or download specs/manual from the web

The LG Engineer came to check my LCD yesterday and they decide to change a new 42" LCD to me. Good customer service.     

Just got myself the sony 76H. Got it less than the RM 599 (the discount enuf to buy a Taiwan component cable) and the receipt shows RM 599. Sony policy (at the consumer expense)! understand we have to register the product at website for warranty.

For smooth picture, no need to wait for powerful display... just get good dvd player that handles deinterlacing/chroma/etc problems well. Refer to SECRETS for ratings and studies results.

If someone gets a 1080p display but pair with cheapo dvd player, wat to expect.

I guess the active players in Plasma technology will be Panasonic and Pioneer, other brands seem to focus more on LCD technology these days. There might be a sharp drop in Plasma prices, I guess the limitation for Plasma is that it can't output in full HD resolution.

dear schizophrenic,
tankq very much for ur explanations, been to jusco last few weeks (beginning of current sale) they do give only 5% discount for lcd ...
maybe selected branch clearing display item tat's y offering at cheaper rate.
but i'm not sure bout the cycle life, its been switched on everyday for at least 12hrs a day.
what's the life cycle of plasma and lcd tv?

Yes bro I agree with you. Now the cheapo head aka me, has just thought of something. Dunno if it is possible so asking all the sifus here.�

Now I have a vcr(yeah i know its ancient) that has tv tuner which has component outputs. Now the question is does the dvd players have any component inputs ? If yes then we can use the dvd player to upconvert tv signals into the plasma/lcd/projector......? So all tv shows will be in HD !!

Sound logical ? Got hope or hopelless fairy tale ?

Hi, I'm new here, just wanna ask, does the sony ns76h can play pirated disc and does it comes with free hdmi cable? thx

guys...
i saw 76h selling RM399 only in equine park sony centre...
add in RM79 get HDMI cable...
good deal huh...

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.

So far anybody got the Phillips full hd 42" yet? Wana hear some comments..
