It's been a long time since I have done much with my home theater. After moving 3 years ago I still have not hooked up my surround speakers because of placement. I've finally decided to get some in ceiling speakers for my surrounds, and I want to future proof myself. I will only have 2 surrounds...

Garrett, the new TV is not a bad set, it is the same set as last years non-XBR model (HS510 but with an XBR name on it. The XBR910 and 960 had the Super Fine Pitch tube that gave the set incredible resolution. Sales were slow and Sony now only makes the non-superfine pitch tube and slap on the...

What was up with the 'new' sister? I don't remember ever seeing her before, did I just miss the one episode that they mentioned her?

Well, I have to disagree with one thing this 'editor' mentioned, and that is about Stern not breaking any new ground by going to Satellite. Yes, O&A went there first, but that is because they HAD to. They were fired and as far as I know couldn't get hired anywhere else. Stern is the first jock...

Quote: Your last statement is slightly confusing...you say "the initial convergence with a fresh board is very frustrating, so there is a benefit to replacing the board itself". He didn't say, replacing the board, he said there is a benefit to repairing the board. Sorry I can't help. I...

Correct, it does not. You need to go for the XS955 or the XBR. When I bought my 34XBR910 2 years ago there was no XS955, so to get the Super Fine Pitch you had to go for the XBR. If I were doing it today, I would save some cash and go for the XS955. My question is how far away will you be...

I have stepped away from the display forums for a couple of years and man how things have changed quickly. Around 4 years ago I bought a 47" Panasonic HDTV RPTV and quickly fell in love with it. Around 2 years ago I bought a 34" Sony XBR Tube HDTV and also really loved it. Both sets I paid to...

FYI, most Panny sets do not display 720P at all. What I mean is that they will not take a 720P signal and convert it to 1080i or 480P, it just will not play. For this reason I went with a Sony 34" XBR over the Panny as I wanted to play 720P games on my set...

Pricing varies from store to store. The retail price of the 30" is $1999 and the 34" is $2499. Last week I saw the 34" at CC for $1999. I bought my 34XBR910 around Thanksgiving for $1850, which also came with the matching Sony stand for free. Prices should continue to drop on these sets now...

I too saw it last night, loved the movie. I did find it weird that so much was able to happen to all of these characters in just 6 months. I think the video quality was better the described here. A little soft at times but I thought it may have been from a lens filter.

Every review that I've read says that it's good but that the plot does not hold up afterwards. My wife and I were laughing all through it, nothing about it made sense. Why would the ghost have to take over Halle Berry's character? I thought because it could not interact in the living world...

Just watched. It would not have been bad if it wasn't so GD stupid.

I'm not sure how the ratings are doing this year, but I love the show with Spader. I laugh out load on every episode.

I have the 34xbr910, and when watching a good HD signal I get the window effect. I love the set and have no regrets on it. I have heard good things about the JVC, but I would place it in the same category as the HS510, the Panny and Toshiba 34" sets. Excellent PQ for the money, but a slight...

Looks like the 34" KV-34XBR910 here in the US. I believe it is 34" viewable but has a 36" tube (behind the plastic). See if it says anything about a Super Fine Pitch screen. If it does, then it is the same set, and it is regarded as the finest direct view set available. The perfect vision wrote...

Just took a look at the back of my 34XBR910, it says made in Mexico. Why do you want to know?

This is true, but remember, they do not display 1080i natively. I have a Panny PT47WX51, which does 480i, 480P, and 1080i. It will not upconvert 720P, which is a shame because I cannot take advantage of my Xbox games. I also have a Sony KV-34XBR910, which will upconvert 720P to 1080i. As long...

This is nice, but all this is going to offer is a repeat of the movies already on. I would much rather have Cablevision give us NBC and ABC in HD. Please Cablevision, listen to your customers!

Damn, with only 2 to 3 hours a day use even in torch mode these sets should work until hell starts getting some snow...

Sorry for the delay guys. Anyway, the store I bought mine from was PC Richards. It was not an advertised sale, I just got the pricing from a sales rep that I have used several times in the past. And Mark:F, your bypass setting on your cable box sounds very interesting. I checked mine and it...

Congrats! What do you think of the difference between the two sets? (Besides the extra 2 inches of course)

Rich, that is a very impressive write-up. You wrote perfectly the differences between the 510 and the 910. I too was concerned about the brightness issue and sharpness of the 910, until I got it home. I still had to turn down the brightness/contrast to get a truly accurate picture. And the...

I can't believe I continue to read this thread. Sacha, you still haven't answered why everyone doesn't drive the same car? Your continued reluctance to understand why anyone would want anything different from you makes me wonder how your brain has the ability to power your internal organs.

No offense, but this is the dumbest question I have ever seen. A FP might be perfect for you, but not for all. Why not ask why everyone doesn't drive the same car (or SUV if they are better then cars) or eat the same food? This is just plain stupid. Enjoy your FP, I'm sure it is perfect for you.

The Sony does allow you to set the aspect ratios with a 480i and 480p signals. It does lock into Full mode on 1080i signals.
