Picture is clear only if you play dvd or HD stuff or the very latest gaming consoles I suspect.

Originally posted by choco B:LOL Adorable. I noted David Copperfield was showing but didn't watch.
Thing about the now-older Daniel that I find disconcerting is that his complexion is so pale and waxy, looks very odd leh
He needs a tan.
I'm not sure his young fans would like a tanned version of him. The good thing is that he still has his good looks now, unlike some child stars like Macauley Culkin who didn't look as nice when grown up.
That David copperfield has not ended yet...maybe they'll show part 2 next week. -
ohmy david copperfield is a legend.
i just love his slow-mo-duck trick. even bush was there. -

We weren't talking about David the magician....but the English novel.Originally posted by stellazio:ohmy david copperfield is a legend.

Ya he is pretty good looking. Not drop-dead handsome but definitely not bad . No I still think he needs a little something, some weathering that only comes with age perhaps . His complexion now reminds me of a wax figure'sOriginally posted by Wanda: I'm not sure his young fans would like a tanned version of him.

Yes, but it is currently centered around an ageing 1995-vintage Sony 32" Trinitron TV.Originally posted by av98m:Do you have a home theater system?
The prices of flat-panel HDTV sets have dropped to the point where I can actually afford one. The Panasonic 42" plasma HDTV I'm looking at is currently on sale at Sears for $1200. I'm holding back on getting a hidef DVD player until the format war between HD-DVD and Blu-Ray has been won and settled.
Hmmm.... I wonder where jetta has gone to.

Yeah the hi-def war is dumb and nobody is going to emerge a winner. The industry could have benefited from cooperation instead of competition but hey, greed gets in the way. Consumers wise up sooner or later. Haven't these companies learnt anything from past experience?Originally posted by Meia Gisborn:Yes, but it is currently centered around an ageing 1995-vintage Sony 32" Trinitron TV.

Myself I'm happy with my oppo 971hd(or is it 970? hmm) dvd player. It is cheap and good, plays every format under the sun(good for pirated stuff ) and even supports hdmi and stuff(not that I'm using it).
Some people I know are regretting getting hdmi cables set up in their houses. The design is shit, and there is always intermittent signal cut-off if your cable is long (anything longer than 5 metres it seems) -
still can't get over av listing a whole zhi char menu as his 'comfort food'

are u sure its only zi-cha?Originally posted by the Bear:still can't get over av listing a whole zhi char menu as his 'comfort food' -
I think the general rule of thumb is that any media format backed by Sony usually ends up by the wayside. Look at Betamax.Originally posted by av98m:Yeah the hi-def war is dumb and nobody is going to emerge a winner.

Sony's put its weight behind Blu-Ray in the form of their PS3, but it's still anyone's guess as to whether that format will prevail. Looking at the number of titles on hi-def disks released each week, it appears HD-DVD currently has a slight numerical advantage over Blu-Ray. If that means anything.
Tell you what, though: I was over at a friend's house last Friday and watched the Ghost in the Shell Solid State Society standard definition movie DVD on his HD-DVD player which upconverted the videostream to 720p for playback on his 50" plasma HDTV. Even with the upconversion, the image quality was stunning. That about clinched it for me to make the plunge into HDTV. -
I was watching the appleseed dvd and a few episodes of standalone complex dvd on a friend's home theater system with hdmi and ceiling mounted projector etc......other than the much larger display I actually preferred the color and pic quality on my old crt TV at home. Go figureOriginally posted by Meia Gisborn:Tell you what, though: I was over at a friend's house last Friday and watched the Ghost in the Shell Solid State Society standard definition movie DVD on his HD-DVD player which upconverted the videostream to 720p for playback on his 50" plasma HDTV.
