Canopus HQ--WD TV--42"HDTV??

[tingsern]

Thanks for the info. I will check it out this weekend then.

Ting Sern, it's obviously no use for passing stuff to clients, but it's great for checking out your video on a big screen quickly and easily, without having to burn a disc. (Of course you will need a big screen :) )

Fukly, I bought it in Challenger in Funan, for S$188. You can probably get it cheaper buying online but I like to have a local warranty. Challenger has a website but it's fairly rubbish and doesn't tell you much, so info about Challenger is only useful if you plan to visit Singapore.

i do want to buy it if i could find it here in indonesia ;(
tingsern : in singapore perhaps?

Even if you purchase one in Singapore, what about your clients? If they don't have it, how are you passing the WMV, MP4, etc ... files to them directly?

Won't play Canopus HQ - that's for sure. But, other codecs - fine. Haven't fell into the temptation of buying one yet - the only HD "TV" in this place is my Panasonic broadcast monitor :-).

Challenger in Singapore have this.

I have one of these, it works really well. Plays WMV and MP4 files just fine. I have it connected via HDMI cable so you get audio as well with just one connection. As Stormdave says, it works with portable USN HDD and USB flash stick.

I was going to buy this, but then again I'd rather use PS3 at home.

But it won't play Canopus HQ, however it will play H.264. Shouldn't be a problem using a portable laptop (or larger) drive or a usb stick.
