I thought I'll pass this on which maybe of interest to all We first brought you news of Denon's decision to back camp Blu-ray in the next gen battle way back in July of last year when the company unveiled the 3800BD to an American audience with claims of an autumn UK release. But while that never happened, the 3800BD is still coming and Denon, despite its raft of upscaling format-neutral DVD players, is still plumping for Blu-ray as the winning format. So 2008 is the year, and while we hope to high heaven that the format war will indeed be resolved once and for all, in reality it's unlikely to happen, even with well-known and respected brands like Denon finally revealing an allegiance. More likely is the promotion and wider acceptance of downloading as the film-watching method of choice, forgoing the costly risk of an either/or decision when buying new hardware. But if you are determined to go Blu-ray, then Denon's disc spinner is likely to be one of the best on the market. Expect to see HDMI 1.3a with 1080p playback at 24p, HD audio decoding for all the major formats, Blu-ray Profile 1.1 with 1080p upscaling and, of course, DenonLink for integration with other Denon kit and wireless streaming. Retailing for $2,000 across the pond, that sadly won't mean a £1,000 price tag in the UK. More realistic would be something around the £1,500 mark, but that is mere speculation. Either way, we expect the 3800BD to be a cracker, but it will leave a large hole in your wallet and come the resolution of the format war, it could seem even more costly should Blu-ray not emerge triumphant after all

I'm led to believe cables do make a differerence. have a read HDMI (high definition multimedia interface) cables are the must-have interconnection for the HD era. This streamlined high-tech system effectively replaces the old analogue SCART and supersedes separate component video and digital audio connections in one cable. The specification has been evolving since launch and now stands at version 1.3. Most current HDMI cables should meet the v1.3 criteria, so even if you upgrade your hardware, good quality HDMI wiring should still be fine. It's important to know if your cables can cope with high-bandwidth 1080p video signals, particularly if you need several metres' worth. Compatibility issues aside, a controversial aspect is that some people believe all HDMI cables are the same because they deal with digital signals that will either work perfectly or not at all. We put this to the test with a real-world trial. We used an HD DVD player, a 42in HD plasma TV and nine HDMI cables costing various amounts, taking price into consideration only after checking for picture quality. Can you really see a difference between them? Aren't HDMI cables all the same? It's long been known that better quality cabling can minimise signal loss and distortion in the analogue domain, both in sound and picture. Although digital systems are generally more robust due to technologies such as error correction, signals can still be influenced by variations in the quality of the cable or affected by interference. Basically, if you've spent a small fortune on your player, amp and TV, it makes no sense whatsoever to skimp on the cabling. Higher grade HDMI cables are especially important for carrying the highest resolution video, which uses 1080 progressively scanned lines, also known as 1080p, but in the future products could increase this to 1440p. If you want to connect across a long distance - to a ceiling-mounted projector for example - then you'll definitely need a high-performance cable. If you're after a decent cable I have attached the following: Chord has just updated its award-winning Silver Plus HDMI cable with a v1.3 compliant edition. Handmade in England and comparable to the Supra model in build quality, this is a seriously good upgrade that builds on the already fine reputation of the previous Silver Plus. Pictures appear smooth, pristine and noise-free, contrast and detail are superbly defined and the colours are gorgeous, rich and natural. Overall, it's a powerful route to near-perfect pictures. So the point do cables make a difference?.

Is the LX70a HDMI1.3a or 1.3? What expensive HDMI cables can you recommend.

alebonau Thanks I have been advised by Pio that BLUE ray are slotted into 3 regions. Australia, The middle east and U.K come under the same. I have also been advised Blue Ray titles bought in the U.K belonging to the same region as Australia will work in Australia? Have you tried playing a Blue ray title purchased in the U.K? Do you know whats coming? Has anyone compared the 60 inch vs 50 inch i.e Plasma screen LX608a red LX508a Which is better?

Has anyone compared the SONY BDP-S500 vs Pioneer LX70a. Which is better? Is the Pioneer LX70a region free on DVD's. i.e DVD from the U.S or outside Australia(Region4) can it be played on the Blue ray. Can Blue Ray tiles bought in the U.S.A be played on the LX70A or Sony BDPS500.
