Which would you buy the 9500ix or the max?

The Max is a refined combination of the 9500 and the Redline which basically gives it all the features of the 9500 and the advanced/better long distance detection of the Redline. In other words....the best of both detectors in one !

The Max would be my first choice. It works like a 9500 with much better range. Both are very good detectors.

I would go with the 9500ix w/escort live smartcord & app. Or the Redline. Goodluck

The max if given a choice. Escort will likely support it better since it's their newest product. It had a few bugs when introduced, and they may have fixed them by now. I own both, but put the max on the shelf because I didn't have time to do the upgrades to fix the minor stuff that I had problems with. Range was same for. Oth but red light camera locations came up quicker with ix

I have had both and I would definitely go for the Max if you do a lot of city driving. If you mainly only do highway driving I would look at the Redline. The Max has a MUCH better response time to radar signals than the 9500ix and has many more features you will enjoy. It is the 9500ix on steroids.

Passport Max. The 9500ix is a great detector, but the Max builds and delivers on that. The Max is also very new, and had so much life in it. Escort is constantly updating the Max, and it's performance. It's a win for the Max.

I have both, I just got the Max in my car and the 9500ix went from my car to my wife's car to replace her old 8500. Both the 9500 and max work well, and they seem to pick up radar at the same distance and they both learn false alerts fast (usually three passes and they will lock out a radar). The max has color options, the 9500 is red or blue. they both sound fine when the unit tells you about red light cameras and speed traps. I would choose the Max just bcs it's newer, yep that's the only reason. The 9500 is awesome and has been super reliable, but the newer max is the next update (not upgrade, just update).

I bought passport max, did not like it, went for escort redline and pretty happy with that. I have not used 9500 but one of my friends have it and he is happy with that. If you want GPS locking, redlight cameras, speed traps I will suggest 9500 as my experience with passport max was awful.

Here is the comparison page from Oppo's website:http://www.oppodigital.com/dv981hd/dv981hd_comp.htmlThe main advantage of the 981 is the Faroudja chip, which delivers better-quality upscaling on non-DLP displays. The 981 also offers better-quality PAL->NTSC conversion than Oppo's other two models. Otherwise, as you pointed out, the other two models offer a lot of additional features (I wish my 981 had a memory-stick or USB input!). However, since you have a DLP, you probably want to get the 980 anyway (as the chart indicates). The Faroudja has a notorious "macroblocking" problem when used in conjunction with a lot of DLP displays.

You may be better off with the 1000X. The read/write speeds and far better. From other responses I read, the 800X provided moderate rate of return or performance.

My understanding of the differences is the 880 is suppose to be a little more powerful than the 790. It may be but I'm very satisfied with the 700 series. The remote is convenient but not necessarily needed. I do know this product does what it advertises it will do, so you should be happy with either one.

The 9500 is Octa Core and 9505 is Quad core + LTE (but this LTE the bands are not for USA)

Michael: Thanks for the excellent comparison. Until I read your comments, I had about decided to go with the 700. I'm ordering the 750 instead. Bob F.

I have the 7xrs model and am happy with its overall performance.Having said that, the 7491rs appears to be a impressive improvement over the xrs but with that comes a cost.

940XL has more ink than the 940. I see no reason that it would be a problem.

I have both the 7000 and 8000. I find 8000 quicker on gaming (wired connection). The 8000 is also likely to have more updates gping forward like QOS (like the X4) to be released in Nov. Both are good routers and you shouldn't be disappointed. Good luck.

J. Greer, which Best Buy did you get your TV from? The ones that I have visited in MI are not even carrying any 950s, I am not sure why. Also, did any of you compare the picture quality of the 950 with the 850? Is there a big improvement? Not sure which one I want to get, I realize one is LED and one is not but the A850 has a great deal on it while the 950 is on the expensive side for me. If there is a big difference I am willing to spend extra on the 950. Thanks!

I LOVE my Max D, so it would be really, really hard to top it. I don't own the e revo, but I'd get the Max D any way!

The 981 is overkill for a 42" set, the 980 will serve you just fine, and it's more refined too.

nope older, still nice though. I'd go with the 949I if you want to stay warm.

The 670 is a year older than the 770 and the pricing hasn't been updated. Just buy a 7xx series now if you are going to buy new...or better yet, wait until the 9 series comes out.

We're in the same boat. The prices on the 55" 950 is essentially the same as the new 8000 since everyone is trying to reduce the stock of "last year's model". However, the 8000 is slightly different technology than the 950, so perhaps that explains the initial price differences.The 950 has consistent reviews that are very good, but I have seen one or two of the 8000 that doesn't fill me with confidence. Since they're the same price now, I don't feel I could go wrong with the 950, but if the 8000 turns out to be as good as they talk it up...

Just remember though, this 900 is about 150 or 200 cheaper than the 901 with the atom. Kinda depends on what you want to use it for. Frankly, I ordered one instead of the 7 inch, because of the larger screen and more ram. I am not interested in xp. I'm getting it for size, speed, and cloud computing. Also note, they have now changed the description to Intel Mobile. The atom was obviously a mistake on their part.

These were my top two choices as well. I think they are both great cameras. I ended up getting the 950 because it is pocket-size, but they share many features actually. also, the G9 has more manual controls, it's for more professional type photos, not for just casual. I mean it could be for casual also, if you don't mind the bulkiness. But I think they are both good, it just depends on what you want to use it for.
