lol, saw this model in jusco, what can i say? even for a noob like me, the PQ is reli bad ... and is this reli LCD TV? looks more like Projection TV to me

Yeah. Thought it looks not bad for the price. This is the only thing that stopping me from getting LCD when i saw it in Jusco.

As my main use is for Astro and DVD viewing, i guess it is a good option since Astro with LCD sucks.

Hope more expects can provide some opinion on this "3LCD Projection TV"

okla, thanks alot guys, since i'm a total noob in this thing, i will trust experts opinion, LCD it is then. smile.gif

i will go and have a price check on a few shops again tomorrow.

i assume i need to buy a HDMI DVD also right? since normal dvd player wont give me HD effect.

btw, how much is the S Video cable and HDMI cable?

frm what i understand tru reading this thread, S Video cable is for Astro, HDMI cable is to connect to HDMI DVD. Plz correct me if i'm wrong.

You won't get true HD via upconversion. However, after extensive testing of the action scene from The Incredibles, all I have to say is the movie surely looks damn good on LCDs. Tested a few LCDs, Samsung R8, Sharps PX5 and Silencer's TV. smile.gif

Aiks. Getting abit confused already. If i purchase the DVD player below, will it help compared to normal DVD player? Thanks.

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) transfers hi-definition video and audio from your HyperVision DVD Player to your TV, Home Theater or other digital AV components without loss of any digital signal. Simply connect your DVD player to your Home Theater System with a single HDMI cable for high quality pictures and sound
