Hi guys,
My Samsung HT-DS110 has packed up after only 1.5 years and although it was adequate for my needs I would like something a bit heftier and more robust. I am not buying Samsung again as their customer service sucks after emailing and phoning them for help and support without getting anywhere.
Anyway, I am after an all in one box that has the below functions:
Divx, USB, Optical in, 5.1 speakers, DTS and DD, HDMI with 1080p upscaling, multi region, component out, phono audio in
optional:
scart, coaxial in, dvd recorder, HDD
My budget is upto £350, I saw the below models but after checking the specs , they dont have all the pre-reqs:
Pioneer DCS370 - no optical input, 1080i
Panasonic SC-PT550EB-K - has 1080p but no Divx
LG HT902TB - 1080i and no optical input
Can anyone tell me if there is a big difference between 1080i and 1080p or am I being too fussy?
Please can I have some recommendations - I appreciate your help.
Thanks
