Hi LinDa,

You are right there...once you watch the movie you may want to watch a few more time but definitely not more than 3-5 time. I also like to spent $$ on my clothes too (will go shopping this weekend )

Yes, you are correct also (wow you very good leh ) in that the pic posted above got a bit more blue colour, this is due to the setting of the Plasma TV changed to Dynamic Mode (hence all levels pumped up!). The main point is you can see the image more details (due to higher pixels)..eg the hair on the nose and the eye details.

Here is an original on Blu-ray, played @ 1080i, scaled to display 768p

More examples...

Reign of Fire...look at the ugly edge-enhancement on the SD version!

(BD)

Young Gun...

e difference very exaggerating lei.. blu-ray seems..more..blue?? haha.. anyways, in a movie it's moving so fast u cant tell lor.. spend the money buy clothes better! wear whole day can tell difference and more worth it.. i dun think u will watch e same movie once every fortnight rite! sorry, i digress, both of u can continue, its interesting to learn more abt technical aspects so i can impress my hubby with my sudden knowledge of his favourite stuffs!

For those planning to get the 8th Generation Plasma TV from Pioneer...all i can say is it's going worth the wait when it arrived here locally. The black levels and colors are so amazing from comments so far... It's definitely the new King of Plasma and a walkover over competitors.

The Pioneer PDP-508XG has just been registered with PSB I think this is the 16,000:1 contrast ratio and 1365x768 resolution model. Full HD resolution is expected around end of year worldwide.

I just post comments in another forum about first hand user experiences on the 8G Plasma from Pioneer. User comments are here in AVS forum...

Looking forward to this screen here locally Here are some pics and comparisons.

Just finished hacking our place …what a mess Look at that mountain full of rubbish ….

One thing I noticed is that the company workers are very responsible, considerate and try not to make our neighbours inconvenients Example is the workers will regularly swept the entrance area & nearby stairs where debris fallen to avoid any injuries to others.

Wow lifestyle. your house look so super big and spacious:)

it sure does look big ! enjoy ur reno !

Thanks mist & oonik grl. The living room is big but not big as you imagine as camera wide angle shot does play a bit part in it

wow, the debris really like mini mountain really 100% makeover ley!

I had looked at the Full HD comparison really make a big difference esp can see clearly the hair and fine background.

So wat is ur choice of TV, and also pls pay attention to ur source too.

Yes, that is what you expect if viewing on full HD and your source HD.

Planning to get Plasma (but unfortunately may not have the time to wait or $$$ for the Full HD version of Pioneer 8G Plasma) for better movie experience and local channel viewing. So looking at new Pioneer 5080 model in a few months time. But should the LCD Full HD price come down drastically (which i'm anticipating and hoping) as competitions heating up i might just get the Full HD LCD (Samsung or Sony).

My source will be Blue-ray on PS3.

Any advice? What are your config now?

Thanks

I am nt sure whether PS3 can play other format of DVD, CD or MP3 instead of Blu-ray, do me they are jus a game consol not for moives although they can play Blu-ray. (Not their main purpose, if u understand wat i meant). Even so the Blu-ray discs are too few and exp in the markets.

Personally I prefer a universal dvd player, cos they are design for moive and music lover.

- Videos up scale funtion

- Better sound decorder D/A converter (eg. Dolby surround or DTS)

- playing CD, SACD and DVD audio (24bits audio)

- Pure Audio on/off

- MP3 playback

- Optical and coaxial digital out

My appology as misunderstood your question !!

Yes, will be getting the universal DVD player & AVR amp (Denon 28xx), Marantx 8001 or now thinking the new Onkyo TX-805) to drive the speakers.

Actually PS3 can play SACD i heard !! but cannot play the other format HD-DVD.
