    monster or AR dig coax?

    If your comparing to both of their top line cables. Acoustic Research's Master Series will win because even thou they are cheaper than Monster, they are higher rated. http://www.electronicsemall.com/index.html

    How do I get my DVD's to play in a 16:9 format?

    I think Doug saids he has a Ultravision 65" screen because there is no 61". They come in 57" or 65" and I happen to own the 57" of the TWX series. Oh! don't forget to lower down the contrast on the TV because it's at 100% default and that will cause burn in quickly if you're not careful and even...

    Audio Cable

    Actaully I changed my mind and going to get the coax because I should of paid more attention toe the AR site. Just noticed that it actaully showed the picture of the inside and did see the difference of the coax/stereo cables.

    Will 100% contrast damage TV?

    Hi Bill, Nope, I didn't have still stuff running the entire time. I guess it would add up to a couple of minutes of still stuff ever since I gotten the TV. -- Hi Eric, I tried 20% but it just seemed way too low. 50% seemed to make out very well and the brightness is also 50% default...

    Another 16:9 Question

    Set your contrast at about 50% and you will be fine. Some TVs by default put contrast at 100%.

    "Blockiness" in part of Monsters, Inc.

    Try using the AVIA DVD. I think that is what you are talking about and that can be used as a reference.

    Price of Hitachi 57SWX20B in Canada ?

    Check Future Shop. I think I saw one there in the store. I have the TWX series of Hitachi.

    Please help me pick a TV

    I would say you should go with the Hitachi TWX series. It's top of the line since it's better than the SWX series. Better video processor, focus and sheild. It's like the XWX which is the flagship model but without the HDTV decoder built in.
