I've had a 32" Panasonic Tau for a couple of years. Today I turned it on and it made a POP sound, and it shut itself off. After unplugging/replugging it, I was able to turn it on again, but now something is wrong with this beast: [list=1]The picture is very light. After going through the...
I was the original creator of the "Funky colors on new Panasonic CT32-HX40" lost when HTF switched forum software. I actually have a belated update with a happy ending! With my favorite football team in the AFC championship game, I purchased a CT-32HX41 yesterday. This was after going...
Gene, who is your cable company?
I have AT&T broadband in Massachusetts and am stuck with a Motorola DCT-2000 with only composite video and analog audio outputs.
An equipment upgrade would be welcomed by me!

>Home Depot has 12 guage in-wall twisted wire for around 20 cents per foot. A good value.
Wow, pretty cheap.
The thickest in-wall speaker wire my local Home Depot had was only 16 gauge for some reason. I just ended up getting 12 gauge via mail-order for about the same price.

Funny you should mention that...
I bought some in-wall wire to wire up my living room and used the leftovers to make cables to connect my receiver to the speaker wall plate.
I liked the compact size and tough insulation jacket much better than the "regular" speaker wire I had been using...
I bought my Marantz receiver from them a couple of months ago. They do have high prices in general, but they did have a pretty good sale going on at the time ($100 off purchases over $600 I think).

> Oh as the thread title indicated Steve had some color problems that he can better describe. Something to do with blond hair looking greenish.
Yes, that was my best set... I believe that the color purity was messed up. Blond hair was green, dark faces were green, dirt on a baseball field was...
Just saw that the HX41 is now listed as in stock at jandr.com:

Definitely a good sign!
> Steve were are you at with your TV saga?
Andrew,
I'm still waiting for the HX41's to come out before wading back into the Tau mess. I'd like to check one out in a store before buying one.
I'm about to finally upgrade my stereo receiver and speakers, so the TV project may get pushed back a...
> Steve/Peter didn't one of you have an october model?
I don't remember what my first set was, the second was December 2000, and the third was October 2000.

Andrew,
I was also pleased with the way that Sears handled returns.
Since their tech service was so poor, it was good to see that they were willing to accept returns a few times until I got a good set. I was also pleased with the salesman I was working with, he wasn't just a robot trying to...
