    Red in Black on Hitiachi 51SWX20B - Experts Please Help!!

    Thanks to both you guys for your input. I'm definitely getting it calibrated, then. But something Chad said about brightness struck me, and I thought that tonight's HD broadcast of Law & Order: SVU looked kinda washed out. So I pulled out the Avia disk and went to the "black bars and 1/2 gray"...

    Red in Black on Hitiachi 51SWX20B - Experts Please Help!!

    Please forgive the bump in this thread 6 months later, but this was the closest post I could find to my particular problem. I want to make sure there's nothing I can do about it before getting a full ISF calibration. To wit: I have a Hitachi 65XWX20B RPTV, and have calibrated it using the...

    HELP! Hitachi RPTV "blues"

    Last night I left my Hitachi 65XWX20B TV on in my home theater during a party we were having at my house, to demo the incredible HD picture I could receive over the air. However, when I went up afterwards to turn it off, the picture was BLUE. And I'm not talking "blue push" or a slight blue cast...

    Hitachi 57SWX and the movie mode

    It's been a couple of weeks since the post below, and I too am wondering the same thing. To rephrase... ...If I have a progressive scan DVD player, and therefore don't need the 3:2 pulldown of the "Movie" mode of the Hitachi set, does it make sense to assign the "Movie" mode to my HDTV input...

    Best non-Panasonic DVD player

    Good to see I'm not alone, Todd. I, too, have noticed some pretty cool products coming out from Panny of late, which have tempted me to break my boycott (e.g., some of their DVD recorder seem to have a lot of kewl features). But I'm holding my ground. Which is probably a good idea, for as...

    Best non-Panasonic DVD player

    Aw, man. You guys are killing me.... The only good news is that the RP-82 is discontinued -- or at least impossible to find -- which minimizes my temptation at the moment. I do appreciate the feedback, and it's not inconsistent with other opinions, judging from some additional research...

    Best non-Panasonic DVD player

    I've been scouring this forum for ideas on a new DVD player. I currently own a Panasonic A110, which as many of you know has significant pixellization (and other) problems I've suffered through for many years. I didn't get notification of the class action settlement, so the only recourse I have...
