    MASTER BURN-IN THREAD: READ THIS FIRST! (And ask follow-ups here.)

    I have my Mitsubishi 65411. Why is it that most of my 16:9 movies must show a letter box if they are 16:9 movies?? It bothers me cause this can cause burn in.. Now just watching movies can cause problems!

    Why do DVD's look so bad?

    Well owning an RPTV is getting to be more and more of a hassle. I don't like settling for incorrect geometry and convergence. The convergence looks like it is set right when I check the TV controls, but a lot of the advanced patterns on the AVIA disc are showing differently. Around the edges...

    Why do DVD's look so bad?

    Yep, the responses are great. I did AVIA basic calibration.. Absolutely amazing.. It turned out to be about 2 times the picture quality I was getting before. All those other advanced test patterns are a little concerning though. I viewed them to check the geometry and convergence... and I...

    viewing position??

    I have 65" Mitsu Gold Plus RPTV. How far away should one sit from a 65" RPTV?? I also have a pretty expensive and developed home theater system. I just can't ever seem to figure a good listening position.. Could someone help me out. Currently, I have the couch about 7 feet back and my...

    Why do DVD's look so bad?

    Before I do AVIA.... Should I turn the black levels on the Denon to lighter or darker? Also should I keep the Mitsubishi Black Enhancement to ON of OFF?? Then I run the AVIA calibration test patterns. I do the basic calibration. I think it is 5 steps or so. After that... Are the...

    Why do DVD's look so bad?

    Hmm.. I don't know.. I just bought a DVD-3800 and Mitsubishi WS-65411 2003 Gold Plus RPTV. I just was suprised that my DVD's didn't look amazingly good. I think I have been expecting it to be like 1080i. Even with the DVD-3800 superior progressive scan processing, it is not what I...

    Pioneer 47Ai first impressions

    So is there really the chroma bug with the DV-47Ai?? This would be very disappointing as I have been impatiently awaiting this player.

    When will Sony HS10 be available in US?

    I saw PriceJapan is saying Oct. 21 from Japan... But I want to buy from a local US dealer that offers No Interest Financing.

    true HD resolutions??

    Hmm... I have never once before started a thread like this. I have been reading various threads about it.. and it was a big deal at first... but now I am comfortable with it.

    true HD resolutions??

    Let me get something straight here... Is it true that there only very few Rear Projection HDTVs on the market that have a 1920x1080 native resolution? This means that all 1080i source is meant for this native resolution for the truest possible presentation, but most RPTVs do not even honestly...

    Denon DVD 3800 questions

    I am about to go pick up my unit from Ultimate Electronics.. They just got the truck in today. The 3800 is straight from Denon. The last 4 digits of serial number are 2192. I'll try to let you guys know how it works. I am a little scared now that Levasque is having problems with a...

    Pioneer Elite VSX-47TX is best kept secret in receiver market!

    I love the new Elite line. I actually have the 47TX, but I will tell those who are looking for a lower priced receiver and are considering Denon 3802/3803 or HK.. I would strongly recommend the VSX-45TX... I think it kills anything in its class. Of course I definitely prefer the 47 and 49!

    VSX-47TX..... Should I?

    I just want to make sure that nothing spectacular or of better value comes out in the near future. I didn't want to commit to a big purchase and then find out that Pioneer has upgraded the 47TX to the 47TXi or something, which they don't seem to be intending.. Also I am very interested in...

    VSX-47TX..... Should I?

    Man I can't imagine the 49TX or 47TX shutting down with Studio 100's. This clearly seems to be a safety mechanism. I have noticed that just about all Paradigm Reference speakers need a damn serious amplifier to be unleashed, but the 100's might be in a whole different class... That is alot...
