Re: EP-30 & EP-35 in this months HCC.
They are reviewed as one so one score for both, that being 4 out of 5. Seemingly marked down for bad design? 
Amyway, the article mentions about 5 times that the EP35 has HDMI 1.3 and that the EP30 only has HDMI 1.2. Which is plain bad research as it takes 2 seconds on the tosh website to see they both have 1.3.
The review doesn't say anything we all dont know but fails to report any problems such as freezing. |

Re: EP-30 & EP-35 in this months HCC.
Sounds like they didn't bother reviewing them at all!!

Re: EP-30 & EP-35 in this months HCC.
Did they mention the term "tech" instead of using the word technology, absolutely does my nut in |

Re: EP-30 & EP-35 in this months HCC.
The 35 has been getting loads of good press everywhere but i am not convinced. It is not bad but not as good as they say (picture wise)
I am waiting for my copy of transformers to see if this is any good.

Curious to understand what you believe is out there that delivers better video quality? |

He must be using a cheap HDMI cable.

I have a feeling you lobbed that particular grenade in to provoke a reaction I had great fun last year in an other forum when I said that you needed to spend about £200 on a HDMI cable to get a substantial difference in picture quality.Posters were frothing at the mouth attacking me |

I didn't say that there was a better player out there as i haven't tried any others. I am using a QED HDMI-P cable.
I have only seen 300 and Bourne Supremacy and they are nowhere near as good picture quality as sky HD. Sky Hd is the only reference point i have. Incidentally i am using a cheap HDMI cable for Sky HD!
Transformers is supposed to be good so i will try that soon.
Before this i had a Denon DVD-1930 and i would say the EP35 on HD DVD is no better than SD upscaled to 1080P on the Denon to my eyes.
