Anybody here who has a DVD player with the HDMI feature? Is it true na, yung picture quality daw is 3X much better than an ordinary DVD player? I want to have one for my Sony LCD.

not really... sometimes nga parang mas gusto ko pa rin ang colors ng component connection vs. HDMI eh.... parang di natural ang colors pag HDMI.

I finally got my DVD player with HDMI feature, Samsung HD860. So far okay naman. Okay ang picture quality esp, kung i-upconvert mo yung movie to 1080i. Free ang HDMI cable, unlike yung ibang brands, hindi ito libre. Mahal pa naman nito.

My current set-up is

Front: Monitor Audio B4
Center: Monitor Audio B center
A/V receiver: Harman Kardon AVR-5500
Interconnects: XLO PRO terminated with banana plugs


My dream speakers are the B&W Nautilus 800D or 801D.

Bose? all highs no lows it must be Bose...hehehe, IMO the accoustimas series are over priced speakers. No offense to accoustimas owners, pero other than their accoustimas series it's a great speaker.
