    New Projector System is Up at last - Sony VW500 and Seymour AV UF Screen

    Ultra-HD BD should be a major leap on say a 60" TV...So it only makes sense that next gen UHD-BD (possibly with encoded HDR) will be noticeably better & a big improvement over 1080p on TV as well as a projector ,otherwise whats the point? For the size picture you are putting out, the pic is...

    8 year old Sony 40w2000 - how much better have tvs got?

    The OLED dropped down from £5999 to £3000 which was a 100% price-drop, they ended up going for £1799 which was another 70% or so. So all in all there was almost a £4500 from 6k; A gradual percentage drop & Granted it wasnt all at once but it was an immence price drop that all happened within a...

    8 year old Sony 40w2000 - how much better have tvs got?

    If thats the case anyone upgrading an LCD TV in the past 5 yrs say...have wasted their money. My 1st proper HDTV, at the time, was a Sony p2530 40" in black. It was a budget TV made for those who wanted a Sony TV with Bravia Engine processing & it was a black model instead of silver or dark...

    What TV is this?

    Reads like you were asking about either Sony 50 w829 or Samsung 48 H6400, both best of their kind & cheap. The Sony might be a little tricky to locate now...But the PQ is outstanding for a 1080p TV.

    2015 tvs what can we expect ?

    Im almost positive that Blu Ray-4k will put unsure minds at rest. The BDA needs to show the merits of Blu Ray-4K vs. Blu Ray & I expect it to be stunning. I don't have a 4k set as yet, & even looking at the 4k videos on youtube in 1080p, 4k is in a different league & natively should be out of...

    Wait a minute...

    The machine works as a pre-amp processor, processor for any other pictue wth a HDMI output, streamer of really good quality, multi-ch analogue input playback, front MHL HDMI etc,etc. You won't get any of this in any player under £100. I give credit to most AV users will realise this, wheras the...

    Wait a minute...

    Your completely taking me up wrong. Oppo, maybe more successfully, did what Panasonic have done here 2 years ago with the bdp-103 but WHF didn't rate it at all. But if you don't think i'm making sense just google Oppo BDP-103 review. :-)

    Wait a minute...

    "Why pay £500 for a Blu-ray player when you can pick up a decent one for less than £100? As this flagship Panasonic DMP-BDT700 shows, it’s all about performance".-What HIFI September 2014 Didn't Oppo do this twice already just as good for its time or better? When it might have been an actual...

    Poundshops £1 HDMI cable reigns supreme

    I bought a couple of the That Cable brand cables & they all had bad hand-shaking issues, on all my components. Changed back to budget QED & not a problem. Most freebie or cheapo cable gave me sync & handshaking issues. Although the freebie cable that comes with Oppo BDPs are good,

Good one Gel big difference between 65"s vs. 50"s...

    My Pioneer BDP-LX55 Blu-ray Player Review

    Yeah i agree. its a fairly subtle difference, but noticiable all the same. I still reckon the theres a more allround grip to the sound on the BDP-51 compared to the '55.
