its all going to be over soon ! Walmart is bought off too will be phasing out HD DVD by June

lol

expect HD DVD players to go CHEAP soon

lol i still dun have a tv remember will wait until 2.0 BD players to drop below $199 at bhphotos.com and we will see. by that time, 42" 1080p and 1080i plasmas will be WAY BELOW RM8,000

may be starting in BD player price watch thread soon - so watch out

will do, as always

yupe yupe - we shold now see none or less BD bogo while HD DVD does its clearance sales every where - might get a A35 when the price is right and get few HD DVD titles for memory sake else - it will be used to upconvert my MANY MANY uncle ho DVDs and few imported oris

lol - i was a chief purchaser once - that is why, i am not an early adopter as i could not bear paying big bucks for any item especially when the price is still aggressively going down hill! Ask silencer how much he bought his 42 fullHD sharp display and how much the price is now!

and also, i dun watch TV. I used by computer to watch all my DVDs my computer has a 17in Samsung CRT. It is almost 7yo. As CRT TV prices are almost saturated and taking into consideration i dont watch TV and will prevent people from watching TV in my house, I will most probably get $999 Philips 32" Wide screen Pixel Plus CRT tv (it is 100hz and it is equiped with progressive scan. (that is if i can still find the TV) put it the living room for few years. My ultimate target is basically a 42in/47in 1080i or 1080p Plasma TV. The models that are currently available in the market are priced RM15K and above.

Hopefully in 2-3 years time, the price of LCD will be saturated and Plasma prices; nearing saturation

Onother reason that i am not in dire need of a hidef TV is because - BDs have to be imported from Amazon. Dun kid ourself that BD is going to go mainstream in Malaysia and uncle Hos are still busy making money selling VCD

So see how lah

buy 2 get 3 free enough lor

now comes the real clearance sale


HD A3 = $119
HD A30 = $149
HD A35 = $225

i want to migrate to USA

and i want the onkyo player with my 5 HD DVD movie purchase

samsung slimfit tv 29" - 100hz 720p and 1080i at <>RM900 SenQ - no HDMI

32" Slimfit CRT oso got with HDMI

DDD = Dig Da Dog ?

R7 oso takde now - its R8

the point of getting the CRT TV is to wait for LCD/plasma TV prices to saturate once that is acchieved - the CRT will be relegated to do gaming

should be <>RM1200 kua. havent asked yet.

some of the Slimfit 29" can do 720p and 1080i so its on par with many of the 32" LCDs in term of resolution. but none of the 29" go HDMI so one cannot upconvert standard dvd to hidef.

my soon to be housemate is pushing me to get a tv. he will staying for a year or so and will move to his on house after that. and yeah the slimfit tv is for him to watch his korean and jap series that i have no interest what so ever, and oh i will seal the terrestial TV connector at the living room to prevent people from watching TV1,2,8,9 and NTV7. so basically, the slimfit will be exclusive for my soon to be house's mate's uncle ho dvds.

and for nephews and niesces when they come visiting.

and yeah - the 720p and 1080i thingy are probably the input source only. The tv is made to be able to accept 720p and 1080i souce. So they claim its a HDTV ready TV. its basically the same as the Panasonic, Pioneer, Samsung and LG 42in Plasma TVs where they sell the models as 720p but in reality they 1024x768 resolution panel cannot natively do 720p which requires 1280x720 native resolution

pixel plus philips tvs have been discontinued many many moons ago - was my first choice

1080p becomes "standard resolution"
