How up to date is it?or is it best to just buy the 530?

I bought the refurbished one and it works great , I bought it for perhaps the dumbest truckdriver in the world and he was able to figure it out and it got him to every place he needed to be except a military base , which we found out afterwards will not show up on a GPS unit for security reasons..

I'm not sure how up-to-date it is out of the box. The first thing I did was connect it to my PC and get the updates for it.

I am still trying to figure it out but it is more for a truck then rv but will work, looks pretty up to date to me but haven't really messed with it too much because we aren't hitting the road for a couple of months yet!

Mine was updated. I comes with the USB cord to plug into your computer to register your unit and it will take care of any available updates. It's pretty simple to do.

Hello, This is pretty up to date you can update your maps anytime by hooking up to your pc. You can save yourself the extra $100. The only issue I have with it is when you are coming out of a tunnel it takes a solid minute to get back to work. I would give it 4 out of 5 stars. Best of luck and trucking.

I bought the 530 and I liked it better just don't get it from here though they always send you refurbished electronic stuff even when it say NEW, get it from a TA or Flying J it works perfect and I just love my 530...

Seems good. I would recommend going online for updates. Seems worth the savings.

Bought a refurbished unit about 3 weeks ago and it's performed flawlessly so far. Saved $170 over new and $270 over the newest model so I think it was more than worth it. I've purchased a couple of GPS units, two blu ray players and several other refurbished/used pieces from Amazon and have never had a problem yet.

I didn't buy a GPS yet. Maybe I'll ask Santa for one. I think I would buy the 265w.The refurb. price is right, around $90.00 . The reviews are 4+ stars. Ckt. City hada new one for $90. ,plus postage I think. I was hoping Consumer Report would havean updated report on Gps's in Dec., but none. I don't know what a 765 even sellsfor. I don't drive much anyway. But, I think I would use it. Thanks for asking.

From what I can find, the 5310 is phasing out the 5300, and has only 2 major differences. One is for the usb connection, the 5300 supports only mp3 files, while the 5310 supports mp3 and jpg files. And two is the "MCI 120" feature of the 5300 has been removed from the newer 5310. (According to the LG website for the 5300, "MCI 120" is "MOTION CLARITY INDEX 120: LG's Motion Clarity Index (MCI) measures more than just the refresh rate to truly understand the ability to deliver clear, crisp images. MCI factors in refresh rate, our Triple XD Engine and backlight technology to better measure how well our TVs can display fast moving images like action movies, video games or sports." So it was probably deemed a not-so-meaningful feature and dropped to cut the price a bit. I guess one would have to see a side-by-side comparison to know for sure if that makes any difference to the tv picture, but high-action or motion scenes look normal to me on the 5310 without that feature.)

Let me list you some: 1) The price; 6200 is more expensive. 2) 5300 is newer; 3) Sound quality is subjective, but 6200 should be better by its wood sound box. 5300 has plastic sound box.

Its great, but there is a newer version out. If you don't need the newer version, then this is the best for the price($700)

I refuse to make the purchase until prices drop. The LN55A950 is out as well as the LN52B750. Plus, it appears that the only real difference b/w the A750 and the 850 is that the 850 is slimmer.I will wait until Memorial Day and see if the prices drop by then...

I bought the bd 530 at walmart for 65 bucks. For a blu ray player it's worth the price, I can browse you tube and play funny videos. I might not get my netflix, but that's why I have a monitor cable to hook my laptop or pc to the bigscreen. Enjoy the bd 530 it's a great buy.

It is a great camera with lots of high-end features- GPS and WIFI are just a few. If that is important, I would say go for it. If it isn't, than I would say go with a less expensive model.

Since it's such a new model, I doubt you'll find it on sale right now. I did find a site that has it in stock, but I'm not familiar with the company myself. Here's the link if you want to check it out:http://www.techonweb.com/products/productdetail.aspx?id=A06FA5

Mousa, I'm looking at the same thing, and here's what I've found from checking out Onkyo's website. They have all the current models listed with specs, features, pics, and links to authorized vendors (Amazon included). I also recommend cnet's website for third party and customer reviews. http://www.us.onkyo.com/prod_class.cfm?class=Systems Here's a summary of what I found there: The 5300 gets stepped up to the 6300 with up-conversion on the analog inputs plus powered zone 2 (which allows for same or separate audio to be output on two channels to another location), then the 7300 adds some minor speaker upgrades with tallboy front speakers & bass reflex. For $200 more (MSRP), the 9300 gives you THX certification, upgraded optional on-screen interface, a larger subwoofer (12" ^ from 10"), and an extra Composite input, but no longer includes the optional IR iPod dock. I'm leaning toward the 7300 since the cost vs. the 6300 is minimal and the 5300 doesn't up-scale, but haven't made the purchase yet. My local fry's has them in stock and will price match so I plan on trying them out there first.

My roommate has the 425s and he said the 535s were noticeably better. I have only owned the 535s, however.

this and the 6200 model went up. im just going to wait it out i guess. but the 5200 went down in price. that doesnt do audio thru the hdmi though so its not really an option though.

I contacted OTC when I first purchased mine and was informed that it is only current to 06. There is not an update in the works at this time.

I got mine from Fry's. It is the newer model with 128mb. There was some lagging in speed because the images were too high of a resolution. The quick fix is to use the WindowsXP powertool call ImageRiser. Free to download. Shrunk my 5.0mp images from about 1.7mb in size down to about 30k (at the 800x600 setting). Images now slideshow much faster and with a left over 512mb SD I had laying around, I could easily put thousands of images on it. Could not get the videos to work though, would be nice but no biggie. On the images where the pictures are bright and sunny, it looks great, but darking indoor images, the contrast is not so great. From 6 feet away, it is very watchable, up close at 2 to 3 feet, you can see the pixels.

@Deanokat - Perfect...I just saw and your right. Your reply helps a lot and I thank you! I think I'm going for the 620.

Good website. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. I will probably go with the first one an get the software if needed. good advice. The new one looks pretty, gut I don't spend money if there isn't enough upgrade to justify the added espense.
