Can you say hanging and crawling dots,oh my.

I think they'll be long gone before another price drop.

Let's see, I can go rent the movie-and return it- or I can watch it in better quality for free. It is not like I haven't been watching commercial television for years. Maybe they should charge you "and" show commercials for the quality you can't get anywhere else to make it seem valuable to you...

I think we should get Laserland in San Jose to give us a demo of D-theater on its projection system. I'll send them an E-mail.

DVD is not HD!:)

Most RPTVs today are so bright that a loss of even 50% will not matter because one can simply turn up the settings which are no where near max to begin with. I'd say a minimum of 7 years of great quality picture from RPTVs. After 7 years there has been such an improvement in the new sets one...

It seems these will by SDTV receivers.

Why are you moving it? I would say just about everyone doesn't move their set.

If a 46" 16x9 is big enough, check out the RCA 52" HD 4x3 set- d52120 and d52130. Squeezes to 16x9 on demand on any source and auto converges (two great features) with a line doubler also. You can get one of these and an HD STB (DTC-100 for example) for about $2500 or less.

Is it HD capable? If it is, it probably only squeezes a 1080i signal. Make sure the new Mits or another brand HD-STB is compatible with it. Yes you probably won't be able to display anamorphic DVDs on it with out setting the DVD player to letterbox on 4x3 sets and losing 33% of the resolution.

I don't call a 120 degree viewing angle or more from RPTVs limiting. If you want more resolution and can fit a larger screen then you should go with an RPTV. I did a side by side comparison of RCA's 38" and their squeezable 4x3 52" both displaying HD and the RPTV obviously had more resolution.

If you want up to a 57" 16x9 get a 4x3 that squishes to the size 16x9 you want. Larger than 57" 16x9 you have to go with a 16x9.

Luis M, My set doesn't have this problem with a non progressive DVD player. It also doesn't show it on any NTSC source. The line doublers in sets vary. The same set as mine the next model year exhibited what you are talking about on all NTSC sources. You may want to check out different sets to...

Does your brother have a progressive DVD player? If not, one might fix your concerns. You didn't even mention watching HD.

Could be an insufficient power supply. ------------------
