how much now for older model 5986K ?
who got the cheapest price for newer 5996k ?

compare 1080p upscaled thru 5986k to cap ayam thru component cable, how is the difference between ?
the reason i ask this because when I went to shops that played my DVD9 copy, thru 1080p upscaled hdmi, and compare to when i played at home thru component cable by the cap-ayam, I really can't tell very "much" difference. Maybe my mind cannot remember well and long enough.

yes, the DVD is original not rm5 copy.
so in this case, how ?

one thing is, my cap ayam got no hdmi port but only component.
if the difference not much then no point to spend few hundreds just for a little bit better PQ. I am seeking opinions....

Hi lordvega, thks for sharing. Looks like got difference, but did you use component cable for your pioneer player ?
I tried before, between composite yellow cable and component, they really make difference.

how is the 610v ? very good right ?

normal dvd player can support on widescreen, just change its setting.

philips 5996k.
pioneer dv610
?

yes your fhd tv will have its own upscaler, but i think not up to those better dvd upscaler. i accidentally bought a cap ayam ogatech dvd player at rm80, which produce not bad comparable to upscaler PQ. So solve my issue to search for > rm300 upscaler. I can tell that ~ rm 300-400 upscaler quality is not much better than this ogatech. so rm80 really save my money, till BD become popular at reasonable price. fyi, this rm80 got 1080i upscale too, thru component cable. my component cable only cost rm20 only. i am satisfied with the PQ
forgot to tell that i dare not buy more expensive player, as my kid will make it 'destroy' in less than a quarter, so no choice need rm80 ayam player. i got lucky i got a very good ayam player.
