Anything specific about playback or image quality?
For instance, how much faster will the boot-up be compared to the 1.5 mins that we have to bear with at the moment?
Currently, playback under Full BD Navigation mode takes about 20-30 secs (I guess) of looking at that circular light that goes around and around in the middle of the screen. Playback stoppage is around 5 to 10 secs. Will there be any improvement or at least will it be as fast as File Mode?
Image quality - so what's improved in the video processing side? Richer colors? Deeper than Deep Colors like what plasma makers claim every year? Better Codecs? Better video engine? Improved PGS in MKV performance? Support for 10-bit H264 encoding? The A210/A200 does not stutter at all ever since Full BD Navigation was enabled in May, and unlike 3D gaming where hardware is normally lagging relative to the requirements of new games, I don't expect the current BD standard would be that much more demanding than its current specs.
Audio quality - any improvements? For instance, just wondering if the low level AAC, WMA output has been rectified somehow. Nothing wrong with DTS, AC3, DTS-HDHR, HDMA, TrueHD with the current gen players - but perhaps there were audio circuits or functions tweaked?
I was hoping to see full 3D BD support or at least, full-SBS support. Well? Not really critical but why not if the hardware is capable.
Why the heck won't they replace that cheap looking remote? Hehe. Ok save on cost is fine, but it looks cheap compared to those of branded consumer electronic makers. Fully functional though, so its ok.
