 Added on June 7, 2008, 6:28 pm QUOTE(kianwee @ Jun 7 2008, 01:31 AM) Just bought the Sony NS708. Tested it and I was totally satisfied with it. Compared it with my Philips 5986K and there are pros and cons between this 2 players. Hi kianwee, is that Sony NS708 can be played with lanun DVD?, because i heard before Sony oprtical sensor is sensitive to lanunSony NS708 - better design and build quality - boot up & reads dvd faster - it can read some of the minor scratched dvd that even my 5986K are having trouble reading them (shocking!) - comes with optical input - more function to play with in system menu - nicer remote control - lack of usb port is a turn off - bundled with cheapo looking HDMI cable Philips 5986K - cheaper compared to NS708 - abysmal boot up time - comes with USB port - bundled with Giraffe HDMI cable (gold plated) - limited function in system menu, HDMI audio output bug (setting auto reset everytime I power off) Surprisingly I called up Legend SS2 in the afternoon and was quoted RM450 for NS708. Quoted at Desa lowyat RM499 but no stock. In the end, went to Best Denki Summit and bought it for RM399 only. Very very satisfied with it so far.

My situation is like this, i just bought a new HDMI Dvd player (Toshiba) and it came with free hdmi cable (cheap one), when i try to play movie (Dvd9) with my lcd tv (Sony Bravia) using both 1080i and 720P, i quite disappointed with the picture quality (distortion and a bit blur).
But then i changed the cable to Composite Video Cable (Yellow, red, white) instead of Hdmi cable, walla the picture quality is quite good now, without distortion and more sharpness compare when using with the cheap hdmi cable. How in the hell the old generation cable like composite cable can produce better picture quality than hdmi cable. It just make no sense to me, but then i think the cause maybe from the cheap hdmi cable that came free with my dvd player. After this i think i want to try use it with the expensive hdmi cable like monster or gold plated hdmi cable. Is it true picture quality can be better if i use the gold plated one? |

QUOTE(sunauto @ Jun 9 2008, 01:20 PM) The new BE2 upscales SD sources much better than the previous Bravia series. Tested it with my Wii and PS2, can't agree, it looked much better when upscaled by the Bravia engine. Aisheh man, that why i not satisfied with my Toshiba hdmi player, damn, anyone interested to buy my Toshiba, just bought it yesterday I guess that's what you should really do. Toshiba is probably using a low end solution (chip) to deinterlace and upscale. , i will sell cheap price. Got divx, dts, hdmiThis post has been edited by ron4: Jun 9 2008, 01:32 PM |
