Please, "Pat" will do. I only tend to be called "Patrick" when I'm in trouble. Like when my folks called from FL at lunch today to yell at me for not putting my niece's newest pictures on the web for them to see yet. I mean, my sister didn't get me the photos until this morning and I didn't get...

Steve, A friend & I spent most of yesterday and today at the show. I spent a good amount of time with the Outlaws. If anyone would like to see what they were showing off this year, I put together a small page of pictures (like I did when I last attended the HEE show in 2002) - Outlaw Audio...

Rob, I'd like to throw another vote for the Samsung widescreens into the ring. I've had a TXN2668WHF for about a month now and absolutely love it. It's a 26" widescreen HD CRT display. It has two sets of 480i/480p1080i component A/V inputs, three sets of composit A/V inputs and a set of S-vid...

I've had a Samsung TXN2668WHF for about a month. I absolutely love it! Looks very good with a 480i and 1080i inputs. The 480i source is my ancient Panasonic A120 DVD and the 1080i source is my Motorola HD cable box. I've just ordered a Zenith DVB318 which will be my new DVD player (progressive...

:D Okay, and again, thank you very much! If my finances hold where they are right now ... I'll try to give you a call after the NYC HE Expo to schedule a visit. Hopefully I'll have my 1080i upconverting player by then too. Thank you, pat---- ps, any chance of running into you...

Gregg, Thank you very much. So, if I understand, calibrating via a 480i DVD player on one set of component inputs should give me the appropriate settings for 480i on both sets of inputs, but not necessarily be correct for a 480p or 1080i source? Would one of the new 1080i upconverting DVD...

I've recently purchased the Samsung 26" widescreen HDTV from Sears. It has two sets of Component Inputs, both capable of 480i, 480p and 1080i. I have a DVD player on one set of inputs and an HD cable box on the other. If I calibrate (to the best of my abilities) via Avia in the DVDP on CompIn1...

Don, Thank you very much!

Don, Thank you very much for the reply. Do you think a low to mid-level Faroudja DCDi based player would make enough of a difference to be visible on such a small display? I mean, a "decent" non-Faroudja, progressive scan players can be found for under $150 where as lower end DCDi players...

Bought one Monday afternoon. 0% interest and no payments until March '05. I'm putting the money into an interest bearing account for a while. :) Doesn't have the impact of my 65" Mistu in the downstairs home theater ... but it not only blows away the 18yo Toshiba 4:3 that it replaced in the...

I've had mine for about 36 hours now. Bought it to replace an 18yo 26" 4:3 Toshiba in my bedroom. Gave it a bit of a workout last night (analog CATV and non-preogressive DVD) - I'm quite pleased with it. I will be getting digital CATV and HD CATV (2 boxes - one for the 65" Mitsu in the home...

I just bought the 26" Samsung widescreen HDTV from Sears (no payments, no interest until 3/05) to replace my 18yo Toshiba 26 incher which has been having more and more problems. This is my bedroom TV and the 26" WS is just the right size. So now I'm looking for a new progressive scan DVD player...

Michael, Well, isn't bug burn in a risk with any technology? I've got to worry about it on my CRT based RPTV, computer LCD's have had to worry about it for years, so I suspect LCD TV's are also at risk. And from what I've read, it's also a risk with most types of FP too. I terms of flat...

New contruction. This 13 foot by 13 foot room is going to be their primary TV watching room & also serve as their home office (i.e.; small desk & PC area). Due to the size of the room, they very much want some sort of flat panel, altho a ceiling mounted projector and screen would work space...

Dave, Outlaw Audio is the result of many dozens of years "in Audio". Each of the principals have "been in Audio" for a very, very long time. They learned what works and what doesn't "in Audio" and created Outlaw Audio to serve the educated customer. Let's see ... "There are only a select...

Miles, Several years ago when I bought my VR-M50's, B.A. wasn't even talking about a center channel in the VR-M line. SO I bought a VR-12. For about two years it matches with my VR-M50's just fine. Then earlier this year, as I was preparing to move into a newly constructed house with a...

Anthony, I run SETI@Home on three computers. My home PC, my office laptop and a server I use for product testing (I'm a DBMS product manager for my company). The server is my savior ... it's a 2 node cluster with 2 CPUs per node. Therefore, between the three computers, I've got six instances...

Chris, Thanks. :b I'm just pretty "lucky" right now. I've got a 2 node cluster with two P3 Xeons & 2GB of RAM per node that we use for DBMS testing. Right now we're in-between product evals and aren't working any problems that require us to tax the box at all, so nearly all of the cycles...

Effective today ... #9. :emoji_thumbsup:

Steve, Thank you for the good news! I knew the Outlaws wouldn't give up ... it just doesn't seem to be in their nature. :) Michael, Unfortunately there are some people who, for some reason that I have been unable to fathom, seem to feel that Outlaw has deeply and personally offended them...

David, In my opinion ... if you can't hear any hiss at normal volumn levels while listening to music or watching a show ... i.e. "real world situations" ... then you don't have a problem. Again, this is just my opinion. There are a few people who are able to hear hiss under normal...

Another possible reason for the appearent lack of 950 reviews is that some of us are tired of being told that they're "ignoring obvious flaws" and/or "belittling those who are honestly having problems" when we post positive comments.

Jeff_M, {sigh} Please point me to one post where someone said

Will, I'll be the first one to say that I've got a lousy memory. And I'm often wrong about things. But I was rather heavily involved with Outlaw back then since I was one of the five beta testers for the 1050 ... including the so-called "fixed" versions. I honestly don't recall ever hearing...

Will, I don't recall ever reading any posts from anyone saying that they had to pay to have Outlaw "fix" any problems? In fact, I seem to recall reading all sorts of posts stating that Outlaw had shipped replacement units and return shipping lables to the folks who reported problems ... at no...

Russell_T, Based on previous experiences with Outlaw, I agree. When they figure out what's causing this issue on certain systems, I'd expect them to help out those who've reported the problem. They're not superhuman or anything, but based on my discussions with them, and their prior actions...

I'm keeping mine. I'm using it just for HT & love it.

Well, I gave up. :frowning: I bought an Apex AD1200 region free player with built in PAL to NTCS for $64 and ordered the Region 2 PAL version of this disc from Amazon UK. It's not a perfect solution, but I'm able to enjoy the music and videos now. :) When (if?) the Region 1 disc is ever...

Is this the same problem that developed back around last Thanksgiving when Pearl Harbor & Jurassic Park III were released? Or is this something new?
