Class part, the little black dress

After many back and forth, I have decided to use the Philips and must say that I do not regret this step until now.
I've previously a player of the universe (is still being used as a receiver for DTS-ES 6.1) and the difference is enormous. Firstly, the size, the Philips is only one-third as large as my age and even a quarter of that hard.
The connection is very easy. Thanks to the HDMI cable from Hama on my Philips Plasma 42 "connected, turned and almost finished. Still set to 1080i, audio on digital output (as I said to the universe) and you're done.

For image:

That reminds me of just a "WOW". Razor sharp, details that I have not seen so far and a color Bracht. In my universe only animated films were good, here are the Philips also live action movies of the Hammer.
Ex .: matirx (The first version in the cardboard packaging) but a very old film but a clarity and richness of detail that you can see the small Häarchen in Trinity's face (opening sequence). Unfortunately, the player also has the disadvantage, in that it represents the image as well, you can see very clearly now that really on the scene on the roof of the background is a photo :-)

Moreover, here the plasma and the players play together their full potential from. Through the good image of both units, a slight 3D effect in certain situations and photographs (such as forests, or the test flight scene at the beginning of "The Day After Tomorrow") which brings the matter HD images very close and you confidently on Blue- can do without Ray or HD-DVD (already because of the price).

Sound:

Here I have to say I hatter only panic to buy me NEN Player supports "only" DD5.1 ​​because I put in my universe so the DTS-ES 6.1 (if only because Lord of the Rings 1-3, Saw 1 2, Blade 3, Sleepy Hollow, (T) Spaceship Surprise ...). And I have to say I was not disappointed, the signal is looped through and decoded without loss without problems.

The only little hacking:

If one makes the player and lets the medium run (CD, DVD or USB) and only switches the TV on, then the player automatically switches the audio output to HDMI and you have to switch to digital output manually. If you switch only TV and the player, then the settings remain so. Why this is so, no idea. Is also not so tragic, but if you forget it already stupid.

On the whole, I am fully satisfied with the device and hope he holds as long (2 years after the universe plays DVDs no longer on), until Blue-Ray or HD-DVD have decided who wins now in the new format, and then you can change in 2-3 years to full HD.

In this sense, I hope to have helped and have fun with your device.
