Buying a player TOMORROW - can`t wait; which one?

Philips 711 or LG 3350E? Understand layer changes are better with the second one. Like the idea of being able to update firmware on the former.

Is it correct that I won`t get RGB pass-through on either of them (On-Digital)? Does anyone know a player that can do this?

Thoughts anyone (anyone who has tried both machines).


any input much appreciated

I just got a pioneer 530, the picture quality is much better than my dads wharfdale 750s. Sound is great to. Only slight problem is that its a bit noisy, but that doesnt matter once the sound is up

Ianshep,

Now you are taking the p*ss aren`t you?

You see I`m waiting for my 3350e ordered from http://www.dabs.com on 4 January but they are now talking about stocks coming in 1 February (probably). Ironically they`re based in Bolton! Perhaps you could get someone from dabs down to those stores to talk about supplier problems!

It`s tempting as I live in Leeds and am making a business trip to Warrington Wednesday so could divert past Bolton. But dabs is £189 and £60-£80 is a big difference in price.

trainerandy,

Thanks for the suggestion, but Jimbo also posted about a week ago that LG supplies wouldn`t be around until February.
