    Toshiba 34HF81and SD3750 arrived last weekend. First impressions.

    You might want to check out Sam's while they're still operating. I bought my copy of Avia there for about CDN$70, plus I think they now have a blanket discount of 10%-15% off all stock right now.

    Difference between Progressive and 3:2 pulldown?

    A line doubler does just that, doubles the lines scanned on the screen in any given amount of time. Line doublers can result in either a progressive output (480i --> 480p) or interlaced output (480i --> 960i). Check this site out, it articulates what line doubling and inverse 3-2 pulldown...

    TV guys, I need Ideas on HDTV set no wider than 36".

    Jeff, I think that without a doubt prices of HDTV/HDTV-ready sets will drop over the next year or two. How significantly, I wouldn't guess. Here's what I think will drive prices down, though: 1. Greater demand (due to more HD content and lower progressive scan DVD player prices) will allow...

    TV guys, I need Ideas on HDTV set no wider than 36".

    In a similar thread I suggested the new Toshiba flat screens... http://www.hometheaterforum.com/uub/...ML/008761.html The 36" is too wide for your cabinet, but the 34" 16:9 set will fit. The only 36" TV that I know about that is less than 36" wide is the Hitachi 36UDX10S (and previous...

    direct view 16:9 shopping - help!!!

    Sean, I think the addition of the Cinema Mode (3-2 pulldown) has benefitted the line-doubling capabilities of the Toshibas significantly, but only your eyes can be the judge. IMO it is better than Sony's DRC with CineMotion or the Tau's line doubler. On page 30 of the 36HFX71 manual it...

    direct view 16:9 shopping - help!!!

    Sean: I would suggest taking a serious look at the new Toshiba 34HF81 set. You may be able to find it for around US$2000. After considerable research, I just recently ordered one online for about that much in equivalent $CDN. Unfortunately there seems to be constrained supply here in Canada, so...

    Mike, According to this press release, SVM is now defeatable on the "new" 2001 Hitachi line, so I don't think previous issues with SVM on Hitachi sets should concern you now... http://www.businesswire.com/webbox/b.../211490076.htm David

    Yellow corners on new 36

    This may seem odd, but try turning it off and on repeatedly for about ten consecutive cycles. My in-laws' set had a similar problem and (based on a tip from this forum) I tried the same technique which worked. Dave

    Funky colors on new Panasonic CT32-HX40

    Andrew, I'm not sure about US pricing, but the 32HX41 model is priced CDN$100 lower (CDN$2599) than the previous 32HX40 model (CDN$2699) at Eatons (subsidiary of Sears Canada) here in Toronto. If Sears has lowered the price on the new model in the US, this might be another issue that you can...
