Design

Dune Max HD is the sturdy frame, be sure to size 429 mm x 299 mm x 65 mm. Front style black painted aluminum sharp. The entire metal frame sturdy, tripod with rubber good grip and anti-vibration effects.

The design of the machine is quite simple but smart to the traditional style as the elder Prime Dune, Dune Base. However, the length and width, are little more than Max HD Dune Dune and Dune Prime Base a bit, so the machine can integrate more functionality.

"Front" consists of three main areas: the left is a standard Blu-ray, the right is the hard drive tray. Both have front cosmetic plastic lid, stick to your magnet. The middle display is soothing blue. The front also includes a power button, the group controls Blu-ray, such as Play, Eject, Stop, Next, Back. Buttons proved sensitive, but a little hard.

Meanwhile, back Dune HD Max layout connections science, neat. Cluster 7.1 audio connection strengths is worth of Dune HD Max are arranged separately when the other connections ... With this function, the audio output can connect directly to stereo via 7.1 without receiver (audio decoding device to 7.1).

Finally, the main power button and plug the power cord to the right of the back.

Key Features

Blu-ray equipment on Dune HD Max by Sony. In reality reader smooth operation and virtually no noise. Disk read speed is significantly improved, 30% faster than version Dune BD Prime 3.0 and did not meet the cocoon drives. In addition, Blu-ray on the Dune HD Max can play Blu-ray multi-region and DVD multi region quite well, including a ISO file which fails when the Dune BD Prime 3.0.

Dune Max HD can play HD video file format MKV, AVI, DivX, XviD, WMV9, m2ts, ISO DVD, Blu-ray ISO smooth and rarely encountered the situation is stopped or whether the frame from your video source computer hard drive, HDD Box, USB flash drive or SD memory cards with capacities up to tens of GB.

Sound processing section is one of the strengths of the Dune HD Max when the machine is compatible with all standard audio formats, home theater today, including Dolby Digital and DTS Classical (decode or bitstream), DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, DTS-HD Master Audio, Dolby TrueHD and Dolby Digital Plus (decode or bitstream) ...

This first option allows the audio output as bitstream format (no audio decoding) or decode (sound decoder available.) This feature is useful, operating through a 7.1 surround sound decoder built. There is little market products that support this feature useful.

Thus, when property Dune HD Max, users do not need to spend extra cost for the receiver. Just select decode the navigation controls, combined with the 7.1 speakers to enjoy audio from an impressive seven satellites. However, Dune HD Max can not set the time (based on distance of the audio signal chain) to transmit sound to the satellites.


If a receiver (decoder, amplifier) audio decoder supports DTS or Dolby Digital bitstream may be transferred, the audio signal will be decoded by the receiver and then transmitted to the speaker. Comparing the sound is processed by a decoder integrated Dune Max HD receiver and through the hard to distinguish from ordinary users.

The arrow keys allow skim or rewind time in the film (each can be 10 seconds or 1 minute). The keys, "Page +" and "Page -" lets skip or rewind time up to 10 minutes in the film. Also, you can use the Search button to enter values specific time in the film.



Extra features

Dune HD upscaling feature on Max proved quite useful. In theory, this function allows improving the quality of any video quality SD to virtually any Full HD 1080p. Actual test results showed that, enabling better image quality than the original but not with HD 1080p standard really realistic when compared on the same film.

Dune Max HD support brightness adjustment, contrast ... help customize the colors displayed on the screen. Experiment with 32-inch Sony LCD TV 42 inch Panasonic Plasma, users seldom need to because the color of HD movies from Dune Max is right, good ... If need be able to customize directly on screen.

View photos on your computer also quite interesting, in addition to zoom - normal thumbnail image, which can increase or decrease the image size only horizontally or vertically. Also, can cut the redundant of the image detail on the Dune HD Max. Dune Max function HD slideshow with multiple modes. Is a unique machine allows the music playing while watching photo slideshows.


The administration and approval of the Dune HD Max film is quite good and similar to the predecessor model Base or Prime, for compatibility with management software such as movies Idun, DuneX (Mac compatible), Dune Explorer, MyMovies, YADIS, TViX and Zappiti.

Experiment with video management software Zappiti - is considered optimal for the Dune HD equipment is very impressive. Just have a connection to the Internet, Zappiti will automatically download the cover art, wallpaper, news of additional information for the selected film. The forum is fully customizable and it can create groups for the movie. Can sort video files by category, in order of AZ or vice versa, by title or author ...

Also from Dune BD Prime 3.0, Dune HD Max has a web browser based on Firefox. However, the fact that this feature is not quite so compelling and useful. The web address from the remote control proved inconvenient, but it will improve slowly than if you move the mouse and keyboard familiar PC (via USB connection). Average speed web surfing and stability but is not equipped with full Flash support.

Connection

1.Composite ports

About popularity, this is the most common type of connector is now available on most digital devices such as DVD player, TV ... However, the technician advised not to use the Composite port to connect with Max Dune HD Composite cable for TV signals with lower quality, and any connections that do not support HD.

Image quality of the machine is played through Composite ports for average results, only achieved an acceptable level. This is entirely understandable because the ability to transmit signals of the type of port is only moderate. While the only sound to be appear.

2.Component ports

Component cables can transfer the signal from analog Dune HD Max to HDTV . This is a signal of high quality and very good support for HD technology. Therefore, image quality output from the port HDTV Component is commendable.

3.Optical port and port Coxial

Both ports are transferred from the digital audio signals to HDTV or Dune Max HD receiver, helped to maintain the best sound quality but there are not many devices support this standard and also less common than HDMI with spectrum users information current.

4.HDMI

Dune HD Max has only one HDMI port to connect to other peripherals, typically HDTV. HDMI connection is most popular now a simple calculation, simply through a connection for both audio and video.

5. 7.1 audio port

Audio Gateway is one of the factors that Dune HD Max has a higher price. With direct HDMI connection to HDTV, and the ability to down-mix audio, it seems this feature is ... excess!

However, the company has its Dune HD appropriate estimate for the current difficult customers. Because down-mix audio (7.1 surround sound from a stereo) would be difficult to satisfy the increasing demands from users. Meanwhile, with a low investment cost for the 7.1 speakers, connect directly to the Dune HD Max is able to experience high-quality surround sound.

Networking

Although the machine is not compatible Gigabit Ethernet, but large files like M2TS, ISO Blu-ray be tested from the source server is a NAS and a PC via LAN completely smooth. Dune Max HD is the key function of the network should quickly open whenever you start your computer is usable.

Dune Max HD also supports Wi-Fi via a USB WiFi dongle. Experimenting with Wi-Fi USB D-Link DWA-140 with Wi-Fi quality of the best (near Wi-Fi router), when the stream Full HD 1080p, the first few seconds but quickly slow steady and smooth throughout films later.

3D ultra thin Samsung C9000 reviews - perfect with 3D TV entertainment

Advanced 3D modeling Samsung C9000 LED impressed in ultra-thin design with a thickness of less than 8 mm, with 3D features and digital entertainment network.

With a listing price of 150 million, Samsung C9000 55 inch HDTV is the model that equipped with many features and modern technology such as 3D rendering capabilities and support moving the content into 2D holographic image emulator, connect to Wi-Fi network. However, the most impressive of the product is in ultra-thin screen size is measured only 7.9 mm.

Design

With only 7.9 mm thick, Samsung's C9000 has become a new standard of ultra-thin TVs today. Ultra-slim design brings to the 3D model of Samsung HDTV style and unique design is superior to today's thin TVs. Entire base of the screen is now home to connect systems, interface with the TV signal of the peripherals. Dorsal surface of the machine empty with a protective metal plate glossy.

Samsung C9000 owns a metal frame made of aluminum with a silver light, just make sure the product but also respect the value of many TVs had sold nearly 150 million contract. Base metal of the C9000 is also designed as a metal screen cover, but great style, very thick, so must contain a system of signals to the TV. However, manufacturers still allow users to use the base to rotate the screen back in the left or right.


Samsung C9000's design is also located in the system shortcuts is often on TV. Those who are familiar with the hard keys or touch sequence located on the edges of the screen, the C9000 will be difficult to try to change channels, increase the volume down if you miss not find the remote control. Entire range of TV shortcuts are used touch technology but are hidden beneath the base. The user will press slightly into the base for the system to turn out this shortcut whenever needed.

Viewers can also see what is playing on TV right from the small 3-inch screen of the control. The right is a jack to recharge the battery, headphone jack and integrated speakers on the remote control.

Reviews 3D ultra-thin TV C9000

But the quality is much praise for the features on the Samsung C9000. Owns many other utilities, but the Korean manufacturer has always cared for each item and makes them more useful than the excess and waste.

In it, 3D is the most notable features. This model is compatible with all popular 3D formats  used currently, ranging from 3D Bluray side-by-side until the signals from digital TV. Comes with 3D rendering capabilities, the C9000 is also equipped with integrated handle allows users to move directly to the ordinary 2D content into three-dimensional images with effects of depth. Frequency of 200Hz to ensure 2D images show that always has to be smooth and also limit the interference of the signals in 3D.

With antenna jacks to support digital TV and PVR recording features built-in, users can record favorite programs with features rewind, pause (time shift) into the extended memory is connect via USB. In addition, viewers can also book an appointment for automatic recording of programs.

Following the 3D, online entertainment features Internet @ TV is also one of the strengths. For customers in Asia, Samsung TV's have 31 different applications, including mini games, entertainment applications, software support, such as YouTube, Facebook, Google Maps, Skype ...

Like LG, Samsung allows viewers to directly use your HDTV to enjoy the full HD 1080p content from a USB port for external memory without a personal computer, the HD or Blu-ray. .. LED 3D Model C9000 is capable of handling 1080p format MVK and support DTS surround sound, and features playback DLNA content available online. In addition to a wired Ethernet connection, users can add Wi-Fi transceiver with N USB signal left.

The advanced remote control of the C9000 offers many unusual features. Wi-Fi TV in both control and help viewers can watch live TV content is broadcast on the small screen in 3-inch of control. And right there, can be done easily manipulate the network connection options, find the data from the computer home network connection ... without looking at the screen. In addition, motion sensors integrated on the controller also changes several key-press control a user's TV.

Communication sound image, 3D LED model has 6 communication ports all 1080p standard, which has four sugar HDMI 1.4, 24p Ready, an HDMI port and HDMI-CEC ARC, a component supports Full HD with PC connection and analog audio, optical digital.

Demonstration

With standard SD content only through the source of the television or DVD player, Samsung's advanced 3D TV also did not make the viewer feel disappointed. The frame has a resolution of SD on the C9000, are evaluated at the section showing the detailed, sharp, or to limit noise and blurring of the image. Content from the DVD after the file is up for the signal quality is detailed and sharp pictures, text subtitles is quite soft and almost did not appear jagged.

But the demonstration of the new HD content is true that the strength of Samsung C9000. The overall picture on the 55-inch LED screen model achieve a warm tone with the ability to reproduce colors very bright, but still achieved an impressive depth of black. With reviews of the HD-HQV benchmark Cnet Asia, Samsung C9000 is one of the few evaluated performance quality HD movies perfectly, with all three sources of Bluray, digital TV and Game.

Although sometimes occurs in open light or blurry images ("crosstalk", the two picture appear the same) but the form of the Samsung 55-inch LED HDTV deserves praise for performing the 3D content. By the fact, just adjust the screen brightness down a bit lower than the default, the phenomenon is virtually no on-screen C9000 happen again.

Well equipped to handle and direct conversion of regular 2D content into 3D simulations, but on TV features Samsung's 3D proved more effective than the other 3D models from Sony or LG. 3D images from the TV simulator still achieving depth and three-dimensional effects are well understood, although not possible with 3D content on Blu-ray.

If overcome the remaining small errors such as the effective 3D viewing distance is too short (5 m), or darken the image was tilted 90 degrees diameter, will be worth the Samsung C9000 is a complete 3D model HDTV perfect.

Switch to the performance of multimedia content, expensive Samsung's TVs are  processing speed data well with a JPEG image at a resolution of 8 megapixels, time to load up and display a clear image is about 2 seconds, in both the USB connection and download files from the Ethernet and Wi-Fi on. C9000 good handling of MP3 music, the SD format, HD popularity on the Internet or stored on a USB drive without first thanks to HD, computer or Blu-ray. However, for smooth images and sharp, the best you should use a USB connection instead of a network connection such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet.

Expensive luxury, but the C9000 does not sound as impressive as the ability to not show pictures of it. System front-firing stereo speakers 2 x 10 Watt power output sounds pretty smooth, rich bass trebles but too weak if the TV set in a large space.

The main rival of the Samsung C9000

Philips LED Pro Series 9, LG LX9500, Sony LX900 and Panasonic VT20 are advanced 3D HDTV is the main rival of the C9000.

Good tips buy digital camcoder

Digital camcorders today can make video recording and editing is easy. You can also export the clips get the tape or DVD or put directly onto the network.

The model currently used by MiniDV is rarely goods, but by the outstanding quality movies and good prices lower than others. Types using the DVD and hard drive are more common. You can also see the Mini DVD disc on DVD player but if your laptop only DVD "swallow disk" is probably smaller than the disk will not fit. With these models often use the hard drive or flash drive, you will need more storage space on your computer for the movie. In case the camera can be SD or SDHC memory card, you can review the videos easily on the digital frame, standard HD TV and other entertainment devices slot SD / SDHC.

High quality (HD) or standard (SD)?

Although the HD video quality is very good but quite expensive HD camera and not all video editing software will accept the HD clips. The decoding is also a problem when files often use the HD format AVCHD (Advanced Video Codec High Definition) format is not always supported by editing software. The HD MiniDV camcorders often use HDV compatible format better. Both formats require high PC configuration to decode the file and many hours to the building. Moreover, even if your editor supports HD, then it is only when you burn a disc the standard.

Main Features

Display: LCD display allows you to easily observe the subject and preview clips. However, some LCD not clear under the action of sunlight and sun screen size consume much more battery. Therefore, most camera are equipped view-finders .

Widescreen video: Some camcorders can record with a 16:9 aspect ratio (the ratio of HD TV use), even for the regular film. With such a camera, CCD sensors will have the option of 16:9 or traditional 4:3 ratio. In case the camera only part of the CCD for widescreen movies.

Lenses: All camcorders have zoom lenses but not empty also differentiate clearly between optical zoom and digital zoom. Maximum optical zoom is the highest magnification camera that can be achieved with the lens on. Overall, about 10X optical zoom is more than enough. Meanwhile, the digital zoom to expand the image to fill the screen after the open end of the optical zoom, making movies seed.

Anti-vibration: Do you worry about the images was caused by shock your hands? With the anti-vibration, the mechanism of the lens movement will overcome the movement outside. With electronic anti-vibration, photos will be processed again by CCD. Features anti-vibration optical often for better results.

Pin: Most camcorders can operate for at least an hour with batteries included. These batteries have a longer use time typically cost from $ 50USD to 100USD.

Microphone: The microphone is usually placed in front of the microphone for better audio set on top of the machine. Some camcorders have a "zoom mic" to increase the volume by the zoom lens is used and some other form allows you to plug in external microphone.

Photography: Many camcorders can record still images on memory cards or tapes. Some machines can also store images of the same resolution as digital camera 5Mpixel. However, not easy to find a number of camera control buttons or picture quality fairly common with digital cameras.

Low light : Many camera can operate in low light conditions with the help of infrared light, slow mode close the lens to get more light one, or take light from one or multiple LED available. The mode can be useful but the film is not as beautiful as the light conditions well.

Connectivity: Most MiniDV camcorders have FireWire ports for transferring video to PC; few samples will film via USB 2.0. Most models are back port S-video or composite ports production (video and audio) to view video on TV. In addition, the camera can also enter S-Video ports and ports in composite, allowing you to collect from other sources such as from analog camcorders (analog) for the former.

Weight: In addition to a large LCD screen and extra features will make the camera a higher price but will also make it difficult for users and increase the size of the machine. Weight of machine is also a key criteria for the camera because affect you always take it with the trip. In addition, the volume also affects the price: the models is often more expensive. Typically, small camera lens will be simpler, less features and modes for more difficult to control.

Some good model you can choose:

Samsung Omnia i900 review - The true view about power this device

When Samsung i900 Omnia appeared a few months ago, the features of the smartphone was quickly attract users, and become formidable to the iPhone.

This device has the form table with relatively large touchscreen, Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro, Samsung is also the user interface for easier use with fingers. As these devices to users today, Samsung Omnia i900 capacities up to megabytes.

Samsung Omnia i900 review will focus on the segments below:

1. Design and construct
2. Features of the device
3. Touch Wiz
4. Wireless
5. Performance
6. Conclusion

Design and construct

The best way to describe the device Ominia is compared iPhone. This device has several features similar to the iPhone, although there are some differences: Samsung Omnia i900 has a removable extra battery under the black crust and many more key, memory card slot, and many other features again.

If you see the screen quite odd, actually have legitimate reasons for that. Ommia resolution screen with 400 pixel non-standard length and width is 240. Screen is described as WQVGA, "or" QVGA widescreen "in some respects. But this phrase meaningless because there is no one standard naogoi Widescreen QVGA is. Samsung Omnia i900 does not support the standard Windows Mobile screen.

Samsung Omnia i900's screen is 3.2 inch diagonal, so the device looks larger 2.8 inch screen is often used in other Windows Mobile Pro. However, its size is less than 3.5 inch compared to the iPhone as of 3.8 inch HTC Touch HD.

Below the screen are two keys, and standard keyboard keys stop a call, which is commonly used in all phone and locate the small black button.

Features of the device

Omina has special features that you want in a handheld device. That's TV output, FM radio, the GPS receiver, large flash memory cards, integrated 5 MPx camera, and a few other features. outside the device is also Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 128 MB RAM and 624 MHz processors.

Some features of this phone, but almost everyone is sure to use the Omnia's large memory. With version 8 GB and 16 GB, this smart phone memory any more than a device using Windows Mobile else on the market. 16GB micro SDHC card, you can use them with 32 Gb of computer equipment, something the iPhone never do.

Interface: Touch Wiz

Can be said that the unique interface of the phone Omnia's arsenal is the "TouchWiz" Samsung inherent in the device. This feature is designed very convenient to use. The key symbol and larger, sliding table ..., all of 9 yards. The best thing here is you can make up to 90% daily work without having to delve into Windows Mobile Pro interface.

Comments around TouchWiz different. While some aspects of the design application area is quite good, Today Screen replacement unimpressive. Ability to drag and drop items from the toolbar on the main screen theory is quite good, but that will unsettle the screen. Many people quite concerned about this, but this may be simply a matter of preference.

A disadvantage of the Samsung Omnia i900 is a keyboard. When your input is the default mode T9 whether you choose to enter other data relevant hon.Trong you can change settings, designed keyboard made it difficult to use. Some people feel annoying installed Resco Keyboard instead.

As Samsung has changed quite a lot, you may not use the Omnia absolutely no thought of using the old Pro Windows Mobile interface, such as when you want to change the settings devices.Maybe  this is causing much trouble one, not only by the interface that the device has been missing: Stylus. Unlike other phone WM Pro, Omina not support stylus, so difficult when you need a precise message. Instead, the device supports stylus outside the wire term. It is not stylish.

Wireless

Comes to wireless features of Omia, need to explain a little. Omnia has the same version of a version by eXpansys and other airlines sell, but no features of 3G use in the United States. This is because the device does not support the 2100 MHz 3G, coverage in Europe, Asia, but coverage here.

Therefore, a need for a different version of Omnia supports quad-band US / Canada. This band has recently FCC approved for use in the United States. But not allowed to introduce to the market, so if in North America, be careful before buying any empty.

Although the rumors seem to reverse order, the possibility that the U.S. version of the AT & T Omnia will be officially introduced. Providers will use the Verizon Wireless Omina, quite interesting to watch. This version of EV-DO.

Of course, both the current version of the Omnia are quad-band integrated GSM / EDGE, so both versions are using any network without the need to consider 3G. Most importantly, the device is integrated Bluetooth 2.0 and Wi-Fi 802.11b / g. Bluetooth connectivity lets do all the things that the iPhone does not do as BT headphones, AVRCP,, AVRCP, and Bluetooth sync.

Performance

With 624 MHz processors, to admit that the speed of Omina be slower than expected speed users. Operation of the device, at least work the user interface quite similar to the 400 MHz machine.
Using 1400 mAh battery, the smartphone has reduced the amount of power. Quite appropriate if we use this device primarily as phone, but Wi-Fi and use the best media.Tot should consider the use of two batteries.

Conclusions

Ominia i900 is a device with hardware good, if you're familiar with the use of its features. Whether or not, there are many opinions on this device. If you are experienced and carefully studied the device, you will feel completely satisfied with Ominia i900. If not reason or bid on the original as you think, so not many devices equipped with hardware features such as better FM radio, TV out, GPS, and a shiny launcher.

Can be summed strengths and weakness of Ominia i900 as follows:

Advantages:

Monitor quality
Internal GPS
TV out
Style
Large memory

Disadvantages:

Touch interface is quite unpleasant
Computer running fast
No out pen test

Unlike the headphone with foldable joints, turning complex, the design of the ATH-ANC7b simple. Two headset on the left and right turn only one match in, clear instructions, making folded quickly and easily.

By operating on the principle of passive, should have a headphone feature quite useful. While the noise reduction headphones when batteries run out, the battery will not hear music, Audio Technica has overcome this disadvantage by designing the headset still works even when batteries run out.

Once wear ATH-ANC7b, listeners will feel almost all the noise no longer. Headset and soft shell smoothly hugging ears makes a noise barrier curtain rather discreet while feeling comfortable without otalgia. Because quite confidential should press lightly on the ear, the air pressure to create a sense as to change pressure when you run up and run down the slope, but after a while get to know you will not find that feeling again.

The floor of soy lo permanently than treble when listening with headphones other low quality. Switch to compressed music, sound quality improved permanently. The bands sound well-controlled, high sound soft, not harsh. Negative medium open and wild, the bass even more serious but still quite tight. Can say, this headset does not need to "end-run the most, just open the box, plug in the player is given a reasonable quality audio. If more listening will be more interesting than that.

With sensitivity 109 db, Headphone ATH-ANC7b volume fairly strong for even low power source. At the volume level to one, the headset sound quality remains intact but is not broken and distorted. When moving from receiver to listen to headphones to hear from laptop, then the headphone amp, may find the sound quality varies ANC7b ATH-source. Good source, good sound quality, bad source, bad sound quality. In all experiments, ATH-ANC7b stay most of the details and separate.

There is no more space than three buttons on the keyboard in the N900, but all are designed quite big fingers can touch up the surface and easy to press. However, the QWERTY keyboard slightly longer, while the short breadth, lack of space to move the big toe goes up, but both sides must take to long.
