Blu-ray home cinema systems.

I am thinking of getting an LG HB405SU BLU-RAY 5.1 HOME CINEMA SYTEM from here:-

http://www.ajelectronics.co.uk/ViewP...ode=ITEM004800

I think the price is very good,this will be my first Blu-ray venture.It is only £194 with free delivery.Has anybody used these etailers and are they reliable? Also,what do you think of the system itslef?

[viva la gore]

Looks sweet to me for that kind of money mate.

[zanner]

Yes mate,that's what I was thinking.This is the best price I could find it.

[zanner]

Well have just ordered this little beaut.Even got a free gold plated hdmi cable worth £25 with a voucher code

[MarcMorris]

But sadly it's not multi-region.

[zanner]

I don't expect it to be multi region for that price Marc.When it comes I'll try and find a hack for it.I am happy with the spec of this and it's a good entry blu-ray for me.

[MarcMorris]

There's no multi-region hack for this one.

[zanner]

I had a feeling you were going to say that Marc

[MarcMorris]

When buying it's always worth a search of the AVForums.

[zanner]

Are there any blu-ray multi region home cinema systems? If so,I bet the cost a packet!!

[MarcMorris]

Why do you want a system? I'd avoid them like the plague if I were you. Separates are best. Take a look at what Richer Sounds have on offer.

I can see where you're coming from, Marc. But for some, such as myself with very limted space and other people to consider (wife), an all-in-one system is a good half way house.

I have a Panasonic SC-BT200 which is multi region for DVD and could be chipped for multi region Blu-Ray if I wanted.

[zanner]

Well it came this morning and it looks like an amazing piece of kit.Have set it all up but hdmi cable won't be here until tomorrow So can't watch any DVD'S on it yet

[zanner]

Have just ordered Zombieland and TCM ultimate edition on blu -ray.

[zanner]

Wow,have just put Zombieland blu-ray in the machine,the picture and sound quality are amazing.Will watch it in full tonight.Also standard dvd's look even better.It also has BD live and youtube through internet connectivity.Will check out all the stuff later.

I would also recommend the following Blu Rays

Blade Runner
Psycho
2001
The Thing

Whilst most people cite the improved picture quality with blu-ray, I have been just as impressed by the sound quality.

Thanks for the heads up mate,will get psyco,2001 and the thing,but can't stand Blade runner.The picture and sound are unbelieveable,as you already know.

[MarcMorris]

Blade Runner is a masterpiece! You must be the only person I know who dislikes it.

[zanner]

My brother doesn't like it

Oh, forgot 'Suspiria' - the recent Arrow Video release, looks and sounds amazing.

The single most impressive sequence I've seen through my home cinema was the plane crash in 'The Knowing' - nearly tore my front room apart.

Shame someone can't put all the best set-pieces from various blu rays onto one disc as a nice test for any system.
