I just bought the sony grand wega in a one off sale at smith city for $2999.99 to replace my samsung rear projection 43 inch lemon. And I must say the picture quality is absolutely stunning even with the low quality transmisions we are accustomed to here in NZ. On SKY (It even makes the living channel look good in wide screen+zoom)
I was playing around with all the settings to work out the best possible quality with my mediagate Mg25 playing some tv shows (lost) from a hdtv source (divx/xvid). I finally settled on the hdtv compnent output 1080i. The quality of the picture was breath taking even from a 40 min rip of 340 meg file size.
The mediagate mg25 has perfect quality from the moment you turn it on you can see the quality of the picture no noise super sound and above all many ways to link to the tv set and it has its own remote control.
For a permenent setup with network capabilities I would recommend the MG35 www.pricespy.co.nz
I purhcased from ascent. I do not think the modix is of as good quality and does not appear to support 1080i
All I need now is a new pc video card that supports HDTV I think I will go for this one...
Gigabyte GV-N66256DP nVidia GeForce 6600 AGP Video Card, 256Mb DDR, 1x TV
Out, 1x DVI, Silent Pipe Cooling (Fanless)
Unless any one out there knows of a simaler priced $250 card of similar quality
