RE: Philips MX1060D Home Cinema - £199 at Comet!

Hi,

I`m interested in one of these. Were they ex display models only or did you get new ones ?. Do you know if they had a few of them ?.

RE: Toshiba 210e region 2

I had a Toshiba 110e upgraded by these guys for £20.00 (I`m in Manchester so took it into the shop). No rpoblem at all, worked 100%.

Took about 10 minutes.

RE: Firmware Upgrade For Hitachi 505 Wanted On CD Rom

Hi,

Seems I`ve upset a few people with this thread. If you own an Hitachi 505 & are happy with the picture then that`s great. I`m just saying that I wasn`t & rather than live with something I wasn`t happy with, I returned it. I`m no picture expert, but having owned a Panasonic a100, Toshiba 2109 and a Thomson 3600, I reckoned the picture quality on the Hitachi just wasn`t up to the quality of those other players. Granted it plays cdr`s mp3`s etc, but i``d rather have a better quality picture, which the Thomson certianly has.

RE: Firmware Upgrade For Hitachi 505 Wanted On CD Rom

Thanks for the replies, however after living with this player for a couple of days, I decided i couldn`t live with it any more & off it went, back to Argos under their 16 day returns policy. Truly awful picture quality. Got myself a Thomson DTH4000, which is a Samsung 511 clone. Great picture quality.

Poor Picture

I`ve got a brand new (4 days old), Thomson DTH 4000, which I believe is based on the Samsung 511.It`s connected to a Thomson 28" Widescreen TV. I`ve only got a few dvd`s , but i`ve noticed a massive difference in the picture quality of some of them. For instance i`ve got Disney`s Toy Story 2, Bugs Life & Tarzan (R1), all of these have unbelievable picture quality. However I also have Road Trip (R1) & Saving Private Ryan (R2), anb both look grainy. I`ve tried swapping scart leads to no avail. It`s connected to the tv via RGB scart. Anyone any ideas ?.
