even though the above symptoms and video artifacts sounds bad like chroma bug etc, in most cases people don't really notice them.. they just show up when playing test discs or only on certain  movie discs at certain parts of the movie.  main upgrades like full HD TV or projector will bring more improvement to visual quality than nitpicking on the current crop of BD player's minor visual flaws..

hence why I said the oppo doesn't really bring much food to the table compared to a RM900 BD60... cos 90-95% of the time the image comes out just well (using BD-60 as reference compared to oppo) especially with people using 42-50 inch screens..
while a dune is totally different set of capabilities although it's within USD100 price range from this oppo while probably within the same 90-95% visual performance of standard BD players like BD-60..

ar188,

I agree. My advise as earlier is for people only viewing BD, get the Panny BD60, it more than enuf.

If u have larger screens and you are a person who is detailed and fussy, get the Oppo or Pioneer players (heck even the Denon USD4000 is ok for u).

If u need SACD, DVD-A and want good DVD upscaling get the Denon or the Oppo.

If u need a media player and a BD player, no question get the Dune!

Display is the primary component of the HT, BD players and all are secondary.

I think his is the V1.0 because i think they only launched the 2.0 early or mid August.

Yes, AV1 will be bringing it in according to their email to me... Wait let me post a screen shot..

Don't know yet.. I'm still waiting for Digital Connection (www.digitalconnection.com) reply to me. They will be giving me 2 quotes ; UPS & US Postal service.

I guess it should be around Rm600-Rm800 as what 1 forummer poster here earlier...

What details are you looking at? I don't own 1 at the moment. MYPW does, maybe you can ask him for more details if you wish...

I actually pre-ordered 1 from the US, and if u are interested u can take over my order. I got it at a cheap price USD$399 (excluding tax & shipping)

Ver 1.0 and 2.0 very similar.. No Wifi but can be included. Just get a wifi dongle from lowyat or digital mall at Rm100 and plug it in...

AFAIK i think they will phase out the 1.0 after the 2.0 arrives... Re the other models, if i'm nto wrong, its a media center.

If using US Postal Service then it wouldn't be that expensive. For 10 lbs using Express Mail International it is USD74.75. Maybe UPS is more expensive.

Yeah i agree. But my only concern is they dont handle it with care if i use US Postal service. I'm also not sure if they will wrap it nicely before posting it out or they will send it out as it is....

BTW, if US Postal service can give me a good rate, i might opt for the Dune.. Its the shipping fees that is jacking my price up cos the tax (15% + 10%) is also counted on the shipping fees..

Am thinking of the Dvico now.. If my calculations are right, its Rm1k cheaper than the Dune. Might as well take that Rm1k to buy the BD60

if 2.4 its expensive for u, then i suggest u go for
WDTV and DVD upscaler, less than 1k

if u wanna go bluray, u must be mentallly prepared, end of the day software cost more than hardware

Precisely, Rm2.4k its fine but its the BD price that will kill me eventually...
