Alan Last year around Christmas time I got the 8UK from the same source for $2400 cash. That unit was brand new in box. When I heard about this 9UK for $1200 I had to take it, but that left me with two and I just didn't need the $1200 expense at this time with holidays coming and all. My wife...
Michael - Thanks for all the info! Alan - I got the tv from someone who works for Panasonic and basically got it at cost, maybe even under cost cause it was used once at a show. It does not come with the HDMI board or a stand, both would add about $350 max to the total price.
I actually need it to only do 720p for the PS3. Will that fly? When you talk about upscaling or downscaling, is that something the TV will do once it sees what signal is coming in or is there something else I will need? Also, was $1200 a good price for this unit? Thanks!
I just got hold of a Panasonic Th-50PH9UK for $1200 and at that price, HAD TO take it. It does 1366x768 max resolution and on their site they specify it can handle practically every video res. 480p/i, 720p/i, 1080p/i. But I am unsure whether it really does do 1080p, wouldn't tru 1080p need to be...
Hey there all. Is there a post out there on these forums that explains how ON DEMAND works via digital cable? A couple colleagues and I were talking about this at lunch and one of them believes that all of the ON DEMAND content is delivered down to a hard-drive in the cable box on off...
That was it, DVD player was set to 4:3LB, I switched it to !^:9 Widescreen and bam! small bars at the top and bottom of the pic. Now I'll have to rewatch any of the movies I've gotten in the last few months! Lol Thanks for the quick info. all! You guys are the best! Michael
OK, great. That is what I was thinking, that my DVD player got reset when it was disconnected (We had wood floors put in and I had everything apart for about 2 weeks). I can't belive that for the last 2 months I never once thought to check my DVD player settings and just lived with these small...
I have a Toshiba TW40H80 16:9 TV with a Toshiba SD-3109 DVD Player and last night when watching "Die Another Day" was bothered by how big the black bars are above and below the image. If you add them together, they may be the same vertical width of the movie image. With my components...
Thanks for the replies so far. While I was away I went searching for other apps and came across Ulead MediaStudio Pro. Is that much better than Video Studio? Video Studio sells for around $100 while MediaStudio Pro ranges in the $500's, right around what Adobe Premiere goes for.
Does anyone know of a real good video editing software application that I can use to edit video captured with my Sony DV camcorder? I can already get it connected to my PC using fire-wire and have played around with Microsoft's Movie Maker which is basically worthless. I would like to overlay...
You know I never really paid much attention to how my subwoofer is setup and after reading this thread I think it's about time I get this setup the right way once and for all. I've got a Velodyne Sub (not sure which model number, but will post back with it later tonight when I get home) and...
I know the very first epsiode is out on DVD, but this show has got to be one of the funniest and clever shows ever and it's not on DVD. I can't believe some of the junk that is out there with every season available and yet Moonlighting is nowhere to be found. Has anyone heard mention of...
I have a denon 3802 that will let me switch from one component input to another, but I would like something that will take ANY video input and output to TV using component. The link provided above only shows boxes that take multiple component inputs, I can already do that with the Denon 3802.
What is the difference between component video input/output and S-Video? Don't they do the same thing and separate the image and send to the correct tube? Then if the answer is that component is better, do the receivers that are out now convert S-Video input and send the signal out via...
I am looking to upgrade my Yamaha RXV-992 to a Denon 3802. Should I re-think this? Will the upgrade to a 3802 be noticible? Thanks for any info. Michael
Can anyone give me a good online store to buy Gold Banana Plugs? I just finished running surround speaker cable through my walls and have gold banana female jacks at either end of my wall and now want to outfit ALL of my speakers and my A/V Receiver with gold banana male plugs. I need 28...
Brett,
Just spoke to my friend and he tells me that the guy first mentioned "Acoustic" which my friend then replied "Acoustic Research"? and then the guy said "No" and then went on to sell him the Epiphanies.
I'm guessing the names they use are supposed to sound like well known speakers so...
Has anyone in the NYC area been hit up buy a guy in a white van selling Epiphany Speakers?
My friend just called (he lives on the upper east side) and told me he was approached by some guy who wanted to sell him some "extra" speakers he had from a job he finished earlier in the day. The brand...
I've read on other sites that most prefer the 3801 over the 3802, and now I came here to get the FINAL decision straight from THE SOURCE.
What do you guys think? You've never failed me before (I owe my complete HT to you guys!!!) But I need a new A/V receiver to put on this years X-Mas list...
