    subs SVS PC-ultra vs. klipsch RW-12

    I'm just wondering the differences because I currently have the RW-12. I am thinking about upgrading to the SVS PC-ultra. Anyone else think that this is a good idea? How much better is the SVS over the RW-12? Someone give me some examples.

    Projectors

    I have an infocus X1. The projector is set up 16 feet away from the screen and it is at your specs. 9' wide by 5' tall. Currently I have been playing around with different screen sizes. I have been very pleased with the new screen that I built for out-door use. I am projecting around 10' wide...

    On-line screen dealer

    I'm not sure how much you want to spend on a screen. From what I have read if you do it yourself you can keep your wallet. Other wise screens are going to range from a couple hundred up to 5-6 thousand. Even with top brands I have read about people not getting a good screen. They tend to bend up...

    $1k projector round-up

    this thread helped make my decision. I went with an Infocus X1. After getting it home I can honestly say that I made a good decision. Now if I can only get more control over the light issues during the day time.... It shouldnt be too hard... just a trip to the fabric store for some blackout type...

    bulbs on TV's

    As you can see from my recent post I'm new to the whole HDTV hobby. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how long the bulbs are going to last on the Hitachi 55" DLP. It says that the bulbs are $200 and I was wondering if this is high? How many need to be replaced? One of them or all three...

    Life span of Plasma T.V.

    Costco had a disclaimer on one of their plasma TV's. It stated that the lifespan of the plasma was 20,000 hours. When you think about it thats about 5 years. Personally I'd wait until they profect the whole concept. I don't want to worry about burned out cells or images being burned on to the...

    LCD question

    If you want to use it for playing games I'd highly suggest LCD. I'm thinking about doing the same. I also want to use it as a monitor for my computer. Anything other then LCD will burn in images to the screen. This happens when their are still images that are projected to the scren and they will...

    I checked out Good Guys and Circit City with out any luck. They had some LCD projector style HDTV and some flat pannel screens but they were all out of my price range. I originally wanted to stick with the $2,000 price range until I found the PT-50LC13. It is a projector style LCD screen. Any...

    Best HDTV projector under $1400?

    I found a Panasonic PT53WX53 53inch HDTV for $1427 and the MSRP is $1700. I like this one mainly because it is within my price range and is a LCD screen. Could give me a real world review of the Z1. Does it work very well in an environment where their is light? What type of screen do you need...

    Need decent portable headphones for < $50 ? Thanks!

    I've had koss before and would buy again. They were very good sounding compared to others that are in the same price range. I mailed them in after they broke and a new set was sent to me. I used them on a daily basis and eventually broke the second set. But for the price I dont think you can...
