Hi. Here is my setup and hope folks here can use it as a reference. Else just to demonstrate my setup for others to know.
SZ1350 is connected to the Dell 2405FPW 24" via DVI and I set it to DVI 720p 60hz and 1080i 60hz depending on the video I stream from my PCs running Windows XP Pro loaded with the Snazio Net Cinema Client. The 24" LCD runs at native 1920 x 1080 with DVI 1080i 60hz setting. Of course I disable the DeCSS and Region lock from the special passcode.
It is connected to my network via LAN using a switch (Netgear FS608) and wireless router (Netgear WPN624). This is to overcome the LAN port sensing issue. I can connect using the WiFi but I am unable to stream TS file with 720p or 1080i/p. They range from 4gb till 10+gb. Connecting to the Netgear WPN624 Rangemax yields EXCELLENT connection via WiFi.
For sound I connect to my Altec Lansing ADA108 which comes with Analogue and Digital connection and I connect both. Some of my video files can only come out in analogue mode. (connecte to the snazio FR and FL). So I can switch between analogue (stereo or Dolby Pro-Logic) or digital (AC3).
I have a friend who connects the SZ1350 with the Hitachi Plasma 43" 8800TA and Yamaha Receiver DTS plus full blown home cinema setup and it is impressive albeit some issues which is mostly stated in the forum. The SZ1350 is connected using DVI to HDMI into the Hitachi Plasma 43".
On my setup the sound and picture quality is definitely impressive especially in 1080i mode. 720p is equally as impressive but I do have problems running 1080i/p video files into 720p but not issue from 720p to 1080i mode. The Dell 24" is value for money and performs pretty well for price performance ratio.
My wishlist to resolve
1) LAN auto-sensing issue
2) DVI cable grainy black colour
3) NTFS support for USB 2.0 to play files above 4gb
I am located in Malaysia. (neighbouring country to Singapore)
