hi there all,
Well got my S97 this afternoon, but didnt get time to set it up til gone 10pm. Once I and the wife had a play with the setup menu's of the DVD Player and reading the manual, we started a few DVD's to see what its like.
The HDMI is sending the Video and Audio directly to the TOSH, although i will try the Optical output to my Amp at the weekend.
GLADIATOR
started from beginning to 3:16 and gone past the battle. WWWWWOOOOOOWWWWWW, the colours, the depth, brilliant. CLOSE UPS of the German Shepherd dog, phenominal.
Skipping to the Gladiator fights in the Coloseum. What i had thought was good on my old Panasonic A350 DVD, just got better, CLOSE UPS again are fantastic. Colours are so true, which i had nor the wife, never seen before.
At the end where he illusions that he is going into the life byond, opening the gate, seeing his old house , wife and child, aaaweeessoooommmmeee.
FINDING Nemo
Seems that my old Panasonic A350 handled it quiet well, UNTIL you see the parents mucking about inside the errrmmm, u know, their living space. What i thought were small bubbles are indeed flake skin bits. The smaller details in this film are highlighted to their best ability. AGAIN WWWOOOOOWWWW
DEEP BLUE - BBC Sea life documentary DVD
I bought this DVD as it was recommending the stunning film taken by several cameras for BBC, documenting all types of Sea life. I havent watched it completely, but the first 10 minutes, especially with the killer whales are truly gobsmacking. The waterspray and waves in general are so clean and true.
Well after a little taster tonight, I am realllllyyy pleased with the S97. The menu of the player offers a variety of changes, even allowing for different TV's such as CRT, plasma, LCD projector, standard projector etc etc etc.
you can play back in 625,750 or 1125.
There are so many options to play with, which i shall have a real go at.
This was a multiregion buy from Digital direct at £250, and after having been told theres no HDMI cable included, i found it does come with a standard HDMI cable. I wonder if the PROFIGOLD HDMI cable will improve the viewing experience even more.
I simply am astounded and like a kid again.
