Hi all,
Thanks to the replies to my previous thread "choosing is hard to do" I've taken on board some advice, but I do need further help. I am torn between 2 choices (which have sub categories, bear with me )
I have decided to buy online (probably with Electrical Discount UK for a Sony or Robertsons online for a Philips)
My favourite options (currently) are
1. The Sony route...
28FX66 (open stand), later to buy one of the DAV range of DVD players. However, as the TV will become just for a picture, I have considered the 28DX40.
My major concern is the 100 Hz of the FX66, I have worse than poor terrestial signal and watch everything via Sky, is the 100Hz a problem with this? I am missing out on anything major if I choose a DX40?(aside from a scart connection, which should be rectified with the DAV)
2. The Philips 289617, and later a DVD player, using the tv's integrated sound. This tv is alterable to 50Hz, from what I gather, so is quite an attractive option in regard to my concerns above. But... it would be nice to be able to have the 5.1 dvd system for playing CD also, and I do begrudge paying out more for any technology that I won't use if I was to later buy a seperate sound system.
I have heard many good things for the Philips, and very little direct reference to the Sony FX66 or DX40. With all the digital artefact problems of Sony 100Hz scanning, is it worth the risk? Is the 50Hz of the DX40 good enough?
I'm sorry about all the questions, but any opinion or assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks
