Normally panels with 1080p have better specs, so you're not paying more just for 1080p. That was why I settled for a 1080p panel because of the better constrast and other features too. It's a win-win situation at the end whether 1080p is important or not but to me, 1080p/24fps is important if you're into BDs and HD-DVDs.

that is the damn problem. I want the contrast ratio and steps of gradation in the 1080p Panny but i dun wan the 1080p laugh.gif - damn ! why cant they have the same ratio and gradation feature but at 720p only for the 50" . sure selling like hot cake while mocking other CEs such as Sony who market only 1080p shakehead.gif

I hope they can include a dedicated scaler for standard dvds and 1080i BD contents, concerts or even documentaries. Most dedicated players can't deinterlace 1080i properly. If it's below RM2K, it's even better but have a bad feeling it won't happen that soon in Malaysia unless we have China made BD players flooding the market with super cheapo price.

there at least three china mari models in the USA. Sylvania, Magnavox and another made for Best Buy. $299 and $349. The whole purpose of having BD is so that CE can sell them at an expensive price to get plenty of $$$$$. If they are to sell the player cheap, might as well as sell DVD player. Cheaper to make less cost!

For the first time ever, these words on my receiver finally lights up.

Anfieldude, bitstream rocks! The audio actually feels crispier and adds more weight to it, like the sound stage opened up a bit. And picture seems to have better blacks and sharper than the PS3. It may all just be placebo, but what the heck, I'm enjoying this. rclxm9.gif

Apisgogo and Htkaki, don't wait anymore. Get yours quick! brows.gif

Glau, I got it for US$222 from Amazon with free super-saver shipping to Apisgogo's USA re-shipping address. They re-shipped to me using DHL, the charge is lower than DHL's online price. You can ask Apisgogo for the re-shipping quotes.

Piscesguy, I don't have a good analogue cables to test that yet, not interested to use the cap ayam one that came with the player. tongue.gif

Rthj, yes, free 2 BDs but have to mail in and they will send to US address only. Currently got no one there staying long enough to do it, the offer ends February 2009 I think.

Again, thanks to Apisgogo for making this happen. thumbup.gif

setup players are more noobies tongue.gif

BD+HD DVD ROM + powerdvd software that can play both at <RM400 niah.

HTPC RM1K, can be your Astro/TV PVR/Digital media player. Play your PC Game (forget about PS3/Xbox 360/) it lets you check ur emails, online banking, free unlimited texting and communication/ video call - you name it!

Have a TrueHD and DTS HD Master capable receiver and first world country imported speakers? no a problem. Add another RM600 for lossless audio support. ASUS Xonar.

As Joker put it "Why so susah?"

once reached Malaysian shore - will be rebranded as Kemek?

anyhow, my view. DVD is alive because of Uncle Ho. No Uncle Ho, we are still at VCD. The only way that we are going to see the success of BD players (take note - BD players only) is Uncle and Auntie Hos
