    Gateway Plasma or Planar Plasma

    The Gateway is made by Sampo w/ a cheaper screen (dark). The Sampo has a better screen (brighter) and is about the same price. All the guts are the same. This is what I've read, I don't have either set, and I'm gonna wait till LCD's get larger. I've read life expentancy is about 2 yrs. on the...

    Well, I noticed that there are no remote control codes in the manual for "McIntosh". They have every other trailer park brand, but no Mac.

    Toshiba 50H81 Died

    5/19/03 Just got an estimate of $365 from Sears Service, he'll be back in a week or 10 days. The problem is the convergence amp. is blown along with the associated fuses. We'll see.

    KV-32HS510 - Just got it and It's AWESOME

    Well it's good to hear all these positive waves, because today I got tired of lookin and bought the 36HS500. What I didn't think of to ask was the weight of this dang thing! Anyway, it's in the foyer now, still in the box, and I'm wheeling out my 2yr.old Toshiba 16:9 50H81 to the dining room...

    Toshiba 50H81 Died

    That's great! 2 IC chips? I sure hope mine has the same problem. Reminds me of when I had a SAE 2 R9 reciever, I had it fixed (twice) about once a year at $150 or so, then the repairman told me what IC chip was bad, so I bought 5 of em'. ($6 or $7) Every year I soldered in a new one, I went down...

    I went into the Sears store for the heck of it, and told the guy what my problem was, he gave me a card w/ a service number for "in home" repair. $96 estimate fee that will be applied to repair cost, so, Monday I'll know whats next. Good to hear of your low cost repair, let us know how it...

    Toshiba 50H81 Died

    Hummmm, my stomach iss starting to feel bad. So far, over the phone, it will cost $200, and a week to 10 days to find out what is wrong. In other words, $200 for an estimate. (troubleshooting $50, $150 pick-up and delivery) Pensacola Fla. is the closest place. Thinking about a Monivision...

    Toshiba 50H81 Died

    Thanks Greg. I'm gonna make some calls to out of town service centers, and see what happens. I hope I don't take a saawzall to it on tues. I was allways a Sony fan. The $900 19" Trinatron lasted 20+yrs., then I bought a 48" Toshiba in 1990, it died in 2000, so I thought, "heck 10yrs. ain't...

    Plasma or LCD?

    I've been reading reviews on a few plasma TV's, and some say that when a low quality signal is used, ie: cable, OTA, the picture gets grainy. Well, I watch alot of so-called "digital cable" and a grainy/distorted picture won't do. Is LCD projection different? My 2 yr. old 50" Toshiba 50H81 died...

    Toshiba 50H81 Died

    Old habits are hard to break, haven't you ever owned a valve TV? Really, I got the idea from another guy that was having the same problem, with the same TV, I wanted to see if a little jarring had the same results that he had. Jesus, I didn't beat the thing to death. I think I did really well...

    Toshiba 50H81 Died

    $500 would be worth it for sure, but I'm lost as to what part I will need to fix it. The problem centers around the convergence area. I just don't know which board to get, or if there is more than one part I need. I downloaded a service manual but there is no "troubleshooting section" so to...

    About 2 months ago, the picture started jumpimg from the bottom up,just a little,like a vibration. I bought a grid pattern and adjusted the 56 pt. conv., and everything seemed fine, for a while. The jumping came back, more convregence adjustment. Then the adjustments would not last more than a...

    Well, my (just out of warranty) RPTV bit the dust yesterday, and I'm not gonna buy another RPTV. What would you buy with 3500 dollars? LCD, Plasma? What's the difference? Any particular brand? Min. screen size would be 42", but really need 50". I can't find anybody willing to come to the house...
