Has Anyone Got An Archos Av500/700?

[ste_167]

I'm looking at buying the av500, as it's more compact. I was wondering what the quality of the screen is like in comparision to the GP2X. The GP32 BLU* looks dull and pixelated compared to the PSP when playing videos, and I hear the 2X uses the same screen.

*Edit - - > I've not used a BLU+, is it much better than the standard BLU?

according to davec, yes.

Also could it just be your encoding movies in shitty quality? I mean screens are made up of pixels. If they werent pixelated then they would just be one big pixel which changed colour!

Buy a Zodiac. You can get them for 125$ now, it has a big, brilliant Display, high resolution, much better media support than the GP2X (mpeg, mp4 and stuff) 3D games, Emus, PDA stuff, etc etc.

Of course it can´t beat the Archos when it comes to data storage, video recording and TV out, but its way cheaper.

LOL, i presume you only own gamepark handhelds then?

 

[sam fisher]

Well The DS is also worthy of the ranks but the zodiac was a direct competitor with the GP32 and it was EXTERMINATED!

Zodiac...eh...while it does have 3d capability built in, do note that it only supports 16-bit color, which sucks alot by the way...

Blastheme is not a word. You are looking for blaspheme, and someone who blasphemes is a blasphemer, not a blasphemist.

I doubt there are many mobile devices that support more than 16 bit colour. And I'd defy you to easily notice the difference between 16 bit and 32 bit unless they were side by side.

Do not dictate spelling and grammatical mistakes to me! DO NOT DICTATE! DO NOT DICTATE! YOU WILL BE EXTERMINATED. Also I have never had ot type blaspheme before so I did not contain the correct spelling in my memory banks. Thank you for using the Sam Fisher cognitive Input Form.

If oyu had any brains you would know that I was quoting a line from the series finale of the the first series of the new Doctor Who series. Just with incorrect spelling.

Also there are rabbits in a hutch. One in each corner. Each one conceives a child. How many rabbits are there in the hutch?

 

[nickspoon]

What shape is the hutch?

 

[Loubear]

Oh great, now I'm having buyer's regret once someone brings up the zodiac...maybe I should have picked it up...but! ...AH!1!
