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.

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

So, what's next after 1080P? HDMI v1.3 compliant? Oh gosh ........ it never ends.  shakehead.gif

No point exactly. If u read the HDMI specs throughly, u will realise that all current sets cant do neither HD AUDIO,32Bit color depth nor xvYCC color space of the HDMI v1.3. So even u have a 1080p set, it still doesnt conform to the so called latest standards. I just quote beastx's post, his sony (japan set) is getting the v1.3 treament when the rest of the region is left wanting.

This is like everytime we buy a brand spanking new gadget from the showroom, by the time it reach our home it's already a piece of history. LOL.

This is a good read: http://www.yamaha-uk.com/pdf/hdmi%20guide1.pdf

Seriously LCD's picture quality is no where near PLASMA/CRT. I mean PQ alone, LCD has other merits but not PQ.

All of them have common shortcomings, make sure u know what they are before u pour in ur hard earn money.

Wah, jealous lor ....... the first Penangite to own a Sony NS78.  tongue.gif

So, how's the playability of this player? Does it play ahem dvds as good as the previous model?

Honestly, I thought of buying one too since the price is quite affordable. It's more feasible than repairing a dvd player with a lens problem.

The most angry part, US people can get a Toshiba HD-DVD player for USD200 and that's only RM680 plus the most in our currency plus with 7 free HD-DVD movies. Damn ....... if only it was selling, I guess Sony NS78 will be a lot cheaper since at the current price point, people don't mind paying RM200 for a next-gen player and best of all, Toshiba's HD-DVD player comes with a free HDMI cable.  doh.gif

Toshiba Malaysia is probably sleeping, still selling their player above RM2K plus. I wonder who will buy it.

They arent sleeping. They will ship it here once the HD players achieve commercial mass, then dated, lastly redundant in stock. Notice how electronic giants only advertise in newspaper over here in Malaysia, and not all out marketing like the US? Simply because our market is too small for them to bother. And then there's the gov.
