And to add insult to injury, there is no touch screen present. The JM53 instead has "a unique controller system that blends a rocker switch and buttons." check out the link to the pics posted by Jinni. There are navigation buttons present.

You *can* touch the screen but it won't do much.

I think the description is wrong though - it doesn't have a touch screen. None of the spec pages I've looked at have mentioned anything like that; not to mention with a small screen like that, a touch screen would be hard for most people to use.

It looks like it could be a decent player, but the few reviews up on Future Shop's site don't look too promising. They complain about some oggs crashing it, as well as other interface weirdnesses. It does however have mass storage device support, which is nice for us non-windows users.

I think I might get one and give it a go.]]>May 23rd 2006 2:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/22/lg-rolls-out-8gb-mfjm53-pmp/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/22/lg-rolls-out-8gb-mfjm53-pmp/May 23rd 2006 8:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/22/lg-rolls-out-8gb-mfjm53-pmp/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/22/lg-rolls-out-8gb-mfjm53-pmp/May 23rd 2006 8:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/22/lg-rolls-out-8gb-mfjm53-pmp/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/22/lg-rolls-out-8gb-mfjm53-pmp/May 23rd 2006 11:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/22/lg-rolls-out-8gb-mfjm53-pmp/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/22/lg-rolls-out-8gb-mfjm53-pmp/
"When your watching tv, your viewing at about 24fps so 15fps isn't that bad."

NTSC is 29.97 FPS, PAL is 25fps, Film is 24fps.]]>May 24th 2006 2:39PM
