Yes, bluejeans is a good cable and there is another one called 'Monoprice'. Very recommended by AVS forummers.

its very well built and it works .. but given a choice i would take the rm150 hdmi from htkaki which also works hehhee

kekekekke, tats why i also opt for cheapskate workable hdmi cable

but for rm 300, ok lar... not like some who die die argue his rm 3k hdmi cable looks more HD than others

oh yes, we have 2 more HD65 kakis in da house; IsoZ and aricat.

Welcome!

AV show sells this model for like 4k++...so i guess htkaki is still your best source!

bring more good stuff in htkaki! hehe...

I m really very interested into getting this PJ but i have a few questions.

I wanna put the PJ in the living room. my living room can fit a 110" diagonal screen coz my sofa is around 10" so it should be ok. I m also getting a 8' tv cabinet so the screen at 8' will actually be around the same length as the tv cabinet.

The question now is where to put the PJ. I m sitting roughly around 12' from the screen, so projecting from 13' is not a problem. Should i hang it on the ceiling or put in on a table/cabinet behind the sofa? Will it be too noisy? Sofa is not fixed at 12' so can be adjusted.

Behind my sofa is foyer area where the main door is. So i m around 8' from the wall behind me. Im thinking if putting on a table/cabinet is workable, i'll buy or custom make a cabinet / table and put it right behind my sofa. Or is it better to just hang it on the ceiling? I have plaster ceiling already, will it be very troublesome? total height from floor to plaster ceiling is 8 1/2'.

How much would it cost to get a 110" screen? It's a living room so i will have lights coming through the sliding door and also there's a small window right beside the screen area. My current curtain is not thick enough to block off all the lights.

I m under quite a tight budget so it's best to get a screen which is cheap but produces acceptable quality. hehe

If you opt for Draper 106" manual pull down screen (abt RM900), then the case is abt 99". Overall size is 64: X 96". At this screen size, the pj needed to be at abt 12' 6" from the screen. So, it would be right behind your seating area. If you want to DIY, then it will be cheaper. Drop rx330 a PM on this.

Better to adjust your seating distance. It would be rather troublesome to install a bracket through the plaster ceiling, considering you need to patch it back.

The fan noise of HD65 is not noisy. I think other HD65 owners will agree on this. Your viewing area scenario is almost same as rx330 with lights through the small window.

I spoke to rx330 b4. Will consult him more if i really get this PJ. I also thought putting the PJ behind my sofa is a good idea just that duno how to put it. It will need to be on top of my head and it's hard to find such high tables. So my other alternative will be cabinets. As long as i can find a way to put it on top of my head behind the sofa then it'll be ok.

What is the standard perfect 16:9 screen that's nearest to 110"?

Thanks for the reply

Mostly in 106" for HDTV format (16:9). The smaller size would be 92".

Thanks again for the reply. 106" seems to be ok for me. Only 4 inches off 110" hehe.

Once my finance minister gives a go then I m sold. But i think it's quite hard lah. Sigh.

After PJ i need to get PS3, Amp + 5 Satellite + 1 Sub. It's gonna cost me a bomb lah.

Next time if i m gonna change to a 1080p PJ i don need to change anything right? Just replace the PJ can already right?

Thanks.

ps3 = rm 1350
sony htib kf 2300 = rm 1999 (receiver + 5.1 )
hd 65 = rm 3750
draper = rm 900

ngam ngam rm 7999

the power of Ringgit Malaysia and malaysia's brainless tax.. Pay rm8k just for an entry ht system

i tot entry systmes shud cost ard 8k? no?

only in malaysia:)

Sony htib kf 2300 = This?

I know it's cheap but i was thinking of going for a bit higher specs keke. Coz this system doesn't support DTS:MA and DD:THD. I was thinking since I m going HD, might as well go all the way. Thinking of getting a cheap Onkyo/Yamaha receiver with cheap satellite and sub. Since satellite and Sub can be upgraded in the future What you all think?

Draper screen alone costs rm900. May i know what gain is that screen? White/Gray? rx330, might need ur help DIYing one keke.

Even the cheapest entry level also need around RM8k already. Sure my GF won't agree to let me buy.

Buy liao no need get married liao haha.

8k ur gf alredy dun agree, then how u gonna get a cheap yammy receiver tat does HD audio and buy sats and subs? the yammy will coss u ard 1.8k excluding speakers

as you are using ps3 as ur bluray player, u get the yammy or onky sub also no point, period

yes, tats the htib

then u better dont get married yet.. if u get married liao even harder to buy hhaha

i hope when the time im gonna buy my hd65, bro htkaki still selling it.

aiyo everyday wishing for this hd65..

Hehe, my gf don agree but i can plan ma. Must know what to buy first then when the time comes, straightaway action already hehe. Buy piece by piece.

How come onky and yammy no use for ps3 leh? Cannot do bitstream only ma LPCM still can right?

ya, only LPCM
therefore the sony htib also does only LPCM, they are perfect for each other for a budget entry setup
