funny lah..  biggrin.gif

i just found out how to look for quality ahem dvds.

dvd9 logo (yellow'9' + blue) = dvd screener (dts, dolby supported) highest quality
dvd9 logo (yellow'9' + orange) = dvdrip (not the real dts/dolby) sound like stereo but converted to dts/dolby (not nice) and video so-so
dvd9 logo (yellow'9' + purple) = cinema copy = avoid this.

Thanks for the tips.... coz I still blur on this ????

For BJ complex penang, the ah bengs sell in 3 categories :-

normal @ RM 5 - lousy PQ
aka Dual layer or real DVD9 - RM 8~10 - PQ 2nd best
BD copy to DVD @ - RM10 - Best PQ

So far tried the BD - DVD copy very clear on my 42" LCD. Did not try the 'real DVD9' yet coz the price nearly the same & PQ not too good.

When I go back home will look at the color code and compare..


Added on March 6, 2009, 11:40 pmsince I'm a noob on this LCD thingy, I need some expert advise on how to improve my HDTV setup in terms of PQ only.

current config : 42" Full HD LCD - OEM
DVD player : China brand with unbranded Component cables).
My video source mainly is ahem type BD to DVD type.
Budget = RM 500 to spent what options is the best/RM ?


1) I have a pc with HDMI port , will it improve the PQ if I used my PC to watch DVDs by utilizing the HDMI port. Haven't got a hdmi cable yet . Is there any upscale by the PC hardware ? Tested with vga and power DVD - not visible difference with DVD/component setup.

2) Get an upscale DVD player - any advantage or improvement in PQ since I am using ahem BD - DVD cd? I read that Philips brand is good enough ? I don't need advance sound system coz I'm not using any HI FI system or USB port so any recommendation.

I don't want to spent more than 500 bucks and see PQ the same as my current setup. I also don't intend to get WD palyer coz no source & time for torrent movies..thks !




2)

in Harvey Norman Pg, 5996K is selling at RM378 + free hdmi cable. SEC is selling old model 5986 at RM399. I haven't got solid info whether 5996K or DV410 is better at reading JS dvds.. I'm also targeting both models..
