    Apple HD Cinema Display - 1080p?

    The Cinema Display can be used on PC with an ADC to DVI adapter. Also Sony makes a display of the same size and resolution as the Cinema Display, but it costs even more!

    How big is the actual 16x9 area on 4:3 Sony 32" sets?

    I have a Sony 32" CRT, and watching 2.35 wide screen is not a pleasant experiance on it. So much so that I'm looking for a wide screen. It's interesting that a 34" wide screen is 1/3 smaller for 4:3 but is 1/3 larger for all of the wide screen modes.

    Samsung DLP or Panasonic Plasma?

    Hi Phillip, I've beenn looking at the same two units (actually the consumer version of the Panasonic) and here is my experience so far in comaparing them. When I look at the Panasonic side-by-side with HD plasma sets, I immediately notice the pixels, even back 10-12 feet. On the Samsung...

    Panasonic TH-42PHD5UY vs. TH-42PWD6UY

    Glauco, Oops, I missed that. All these numbers are making my head hurt! Sorry. But, why the discrepancy regarding number of colors? Don't most sets these days show 16 million? Fred

    Panasonic TH-42PHD5UY vs. TH-42PWD6UY

    Glauco, Regarding the number of colors, I was confusing the TH-42PWD6UY with a different unit listed on the Panasonic web site, the PT-42PD3-P, which displays 16.77 million colors. What is this unit and how might it fit into this discussion? Thanks a million for all of the information...

    Panasonic TH-42PHD5UY vs. TH-42PWD6UY

    Glauco, Thanks for the comparison between the TH-42PA20U/P and the TH-42PWD6UY. But what does it all mean? Which is the better unit? Based on all of the features you've marked "no" for the TH-42PA20U/P but "yes" for the TH-42PWD6UY, I'd guess the latter. I also noticed from the specs at...

    PIONEER VSX-24TX and it Elite Family- are they good?

    David, What a surprise!! Well now you can answer my questions about downconversion and scanning. Compared with your Sony, how does the 05 perform? For an example to check downconversion, at the 10 minute point in Alien, watch the spaceship go by. Pay attention to the horizontal structures...

    PIONEER VSX-24TX and it Elite Family- are they good?

    Greg, You answered your own question. You know that the 24TX is a better value, but you want those extra goodies on the 27TX. My thinking was that there wasn't enough difference between the 24 and 26, but the extra cost of the 27 was in "luxury" item that I might like to have but didn't...

    PIONEER VSX-24TX and it Elite Family- are they good?

    Mark, Can you compare the 525 with the Sonys and Panasonics with regard to search functions and anamorphic downconversion? Fred

    PIONEER VSX-24TX and it Elite Family- are they good?

    David, The 24TX remote only has 2X pre-programmed for the Sony DVD players. I programmed the slow and fast functions onto four of the number keys and it works better than either the 530 or 550 remote. The 530 remote doesn't have 2X and the 550 remote's jog wheel control of scanning is truly...

    PIONEER VSX-24TX and it Elite Family- are they good?

    David, I was surprised to see the thread pop up again. I am also curious about your comment that the 24TX doesn't handle the Sony 500 well. While I had a Sony 530 in hand, I was able to program anything I needed on the 24TX remote to control it. I'm now test driving a Panasonic 120 and am...

    PIONEER VSX-24TX and it Elite Family- are they good?

    Mark, Yes you can do that. But unless I don't understand, can't you do that with just about any receiver? Fred

    PIONEER VSX-24TX and it Elite Family- are they good?

    Anyone, What is the default setting for "Bass Peak Level". Somehow I changed this setting, and I was getting a very low level of output to the subwoofer. I changed it to +12 and it seems to sound OK now. But what should it be set to? Fred

    PIONEER VSX-24TX and it Elite Family- are they good?

    David S, One other thing: you keep refering to a three-year warranty. The warranty information that cam with my 24TX states that the warranty is for only two years. Perhaps there is a different warranty in Canada? Fred

    PIONEER VSX-24TX and it Elite Family- are they good?

    David (C and/or S), ...THX Select certified which gives me the flexibility of using THX post processing on certain movies... Why not use THX on all movies? If not, how would you know on which movies to use it? Fred
