xboxfan Posted February 19, 2006 Author Share Posted February 19, 2006 i noticed something about watching DVD, the code one dvd (SW3) on my Samsung player, there is no image delay.. but when i played the Sound of Thunder DVD code 3, there is very obviously image delay ie when people walking, it's jerks and not smooth... perhaps LCD TV makes watching low quality DVD more obvious.. or perhaps that's just my player? Hmmm.. any idea? u need a dvd player with a good video processor that can do deinterlacing and scaling to enjoy movies.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doggie Howser Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 u need a dvd player with a good video processor that can do deinterlacing and scaling to enjoy movies.. Well, R3 Sound of Thunder seemed to be a little out of sync on my Denon 1920DVD/Panasonic AE700 combo too, so I'd think it is an issue with the disc rather than the Amoi itself. Just calibrated the Amoi with Avia and this LCD seems like a light cannon compared to my AE700 :P Colors and contrast looks really good. Just had a play of Batman Begins and the darker scenes in the opening cave looked pretty good. Like my projector I noticed contrast was much better in a darker room. ps noticed there is a transparent film over the set that you'd need to remove :) BTW, I think I need to go get a 3 point plug cable. The bundled cable doesn't seem to ground the Amoi and I keep getting static shocks all the time when I have to move the Amoi up and down my subwoofer between uses.

game_goondu Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 i'm a newbie in this. can somebody explain to me. since the amoi 26" LCD resolution is 1366x768. can it accept the xbox 360 1080i output? 720p should be no problem but what about 1080i?

Don't confuse native resolution (eg 1366x768) with input signal compatibility. You can have projectors/LCD/plasma TVs with native resolutions of as low as 640x480 or 800x600 or 848x480 which are still be able accept 480p, 720p and 1080i What they do is use an internal scaler to rescale the image to fit in the native resolution. It won't be ideal for the higher res signals but they should still display ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doggie Howser Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Doggie where did you get the AVIA? Was about to get the DVE from amazon. Can't recall now.. could have been totalactionuniverse or dvdsoon before they crapped out on me. I have a Video Essentials somewhere too, but a friend borrowed it. Ordered that from a UK parallel import site ages ago when I was in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doggie Howser Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Unearthed my old Momitsu V880 (original.. no DX/N) Sold my DVI cable along with my old Samsung 938 upscaling DVD player, so had to use component connections from the Shinco I was using earlier. Hooked the Amoi up to the V880 and switched it to 1080i. Gotta admit the source makes a huge difference. The Momitsu looks a lot more detailed. The progressive scan mode doesn't seem juddery like with the Shinco I waited for the set to warm up a bit then did another AVIA calibration. Pretty easy to get right tho the green seemed abt 15% too saturated in the color saturation test. Still, when I watched a couple of scenes, the green didnt appear excessive. Guess the human eye isnt as sensitive to green? Overall, the contrast seems better with the Momitsu than with the Shinco. And the "increased" resolution from upscaling to 1080i does seem to show an appreciable increase in detail... albeit not as good as a true HD source. Can't wait to get my local XBox360 in March to test that out fully. If I can find a DVI cable, I might try out the DVI/HDMI connection at a later time. ps I found a 3 pin PC type power plug and used that to power up the Amoi and the damn static that got me yesterday is all gone. Does everyone also get the crappy 2 round pin types? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbchua Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Hi, Has anyone successfully connected a PC to the Amoi 37" at the native resolution, 1920x1080? I'm planning to hook up this LCD to my HTPC, running at the full native resolution. I wonder how readable the screen will be for web surfing, PC applications use from a distance of about 3m. Anyone with similar experience, I would like to hear your comments. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chualcsg Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 This 37" LCD TV can connect to PC at 1920x1080 (30Hz) clearly on both VGA & HDMI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbchua Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 chualcsg, I thought the standard refresh rate for LCD is 60hz or 75hz... Have you tried personally connecting a PC to the Amoi 37" LCD? How is the quality at 30Hz? Any flickering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chualcsg Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Still waiting for 37" LCD TV (Amoi or Prima) selling below $2500. (Prima is selling 37" LCD TV at $2300-$2600 in China) Saw somewhere else that these two LCD TV are able to display 1920x1080 from PC (Both VGA and HDMI). Try 60Hz first, if not working then 30Hz (due to low bandwidth circuit) chualcsg, I thought the standard refresh rate for LCD is 60hz or 75hz...

Doggie Howser Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 The Prima 37" I have seen in Courts is 1366x768 res panel. IMHO 2,999 is already a decent price considering shipping/freight/taxes/dealer margins vs 2.3-2.6k in China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbchua Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Hi so can tell me wats the current selling price for the 37" amoi? is it only big selling? thanks I checked out the 37" Amoi at Big harbour front about 2 weeks ago. The price is $2999 and they can throw in a Amoi DVD player. I tried to negotiate and this is the best deal they can give. I ask if I pay cash in full, can further reduce, they say no. So far, Big is the only place I've seen Amoi. Not sure if others has seen it selling elsewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
