Thanks for reply....if I need normal dvd with 5.1, any recommend brand..

Use an upscaling dvd player with HDMI output for best picture quality.

Any more new info on this new sharp 100hz LCD. My projection Philips 43 just broke down again . Its the 4th time now since 3 + years.

Thinking of getting the 37 inch LCD...

I can't recommend normal DVD player because I am currently using Sony HDMI 76H which cost RM560/-. Sorry.

But I have played normal DVD using Sony PS2 connected via Component (480i) to my LG 37" LCD TV. I must say I find it pretty decent. Maybe the upscale by my LG was quite good.

samsung gua..

I don't dare recommend because I don't own them

Quite often, when I go to the shops, the displays of the various brands are not evenly connected. One brand might look better than another in one shop, but in another the opposite might happen. It all depends on what sort of demo they are playing and also what type of connection they are using etc. Also depends on the adjustments on the LCD TV itself.

See if any of the sifus here can provide you with better feedback.

m very sure bout that..my fren snapped a pic of it..it's 37 inch,that's y it's cheap..

Then it's really cheap. Some Normal 720P 37" costs close to the price of the Philips 1080P. Other 1080P (above 40") costs RM10,000/- and above.

yesterday I saw new LG Plasma TV at Senq, usual price RM4999 now they got promotion down to RM4299.......

Now the only things is that... which one do i have to choose, Sony LCD 32D300A at RM4499 or LG Plasma 42PC7R at RM4299???

LG one is not HD ready.. so u maybe can choose 37" at its price

On my untrained AV eye, even good quality SD DVDs look darn good, tried it on an old Philips and a newer upscaling Pio player with a 40" LCD both on composite video.

i use Samsung 32" HD ready LCD TV(1080i) paired with Samsung DVD player (with upscaling capabilities up to 1080i) and the output quality is not much there.

So, im using my laptop connect it to my LCD tv via VGA cable and set it to the TV's native resolution (1366x768) to get 1:1 pixel mapping. I play the dvd or media files thru media player classic and do a heavy ffdshow tweaking. The results is much much far better than using my samsung upscaling dvd player. ver impressive. you need a powerful pc/laptop to tweak ffdshow to the max.

happy 'HD'ing

phillips full hd 42 incher, 6999

Better get the Pioneer 50" now on sale at Harvey Norman =RM20,000 i think. Damn clear and very much on my WISHlist LOL But cannot afford LOL

get those lcd tvs with 100mhz refresh rate ... they are supposedly the bestest at this stage.

I guess you're referring to Panasonic's 700 series, Sony Bravia D series and the latest Sharp LCD, all have this double refresh rates. Honestly, it does improve the motion flow of movies and games.

wow, damn cheap la Philips. Sony is trying to cheat customer by saying Full HD for something that can output 720p/1080i.

gogo2, is it? I believe there is a mistake since Sony clearly promotes X series as full HD LCD TV. It was also clearly stated in its website.

For X series I assume the logo is Full HD 1080 gua. For Sony, you need to look out for Full HD 1080 logo instead of just Full HD logo which
I think is very misleading.
