Wow, where did you get that Sony deal at??

oh, oh, oh...no, no, no...sorry there is the confusion, its not a 1080p monitor only 720p/1080i. I totally agree with you on that, from what I've seen/read/heard...I thought about buying the Westinghouse in December from Crutchfield for 1k solely because of 1080p then realized at 37" I would...

Wow, 2 feet away! All I see from 2 feet away is pixels...believe me, this thing looks great from 8 feet away, and yes I can tell a HUUUUGGGEEE difference between HD-DVD/HDTV and regular dvd/cable. The litmus test was my wife, who was against me getting another tv...she even was wow'd (and I...

Hi everybody, I just purchased this 32" Samsung today from Best Buy and so far I'm very impressed, and I haven't even watched any HD content yet on it!! I'm going to pop in DVE sometime this week, but I noteiced that the contrast is set to 100 out of the box, is that what you guys usually run...

I've been doing a lot of research into the realm of picture resolution and scan rates of TV's (probably not enough!) Now, I've been a computer geek for a long time and I've read alot of discussion about progressive scan and it still confuses me somewhat. Ok, is comparing 480p to 480i like...

Well actually I went to Best Buy today and bought the Mad Catz Universal $10 selector, I figured it should work...it looks ok, but I'm not a guru yet so I don't even know what I'm looking for (as far as picture degradation), but I can't tell a difference. Thanks for saving me a little money. Andy

I know this has been discussed here before, but has anyone found this device online anywhere? I've heard people have found it at Gamestop stores but I cannot find it anywhere!! I'm wondering if I should just go get a $20 radio shack RCA selector. Thanks for any help, Andy

My apologies, I could have sworn I saw it somewhere online. I see now the only place to get one is thru Nintendo(which I ordered tonight)

Sorry, your wrong, Monster does make a componet video cable for Gamecube. I don't know if they just started making it or what, but its available.

Does anyone know if there are any other "HDTV" dvd players coming out other than the Bravo or the Samsung HD931? I wasn't impressed that much with the Samsung and am taking it back and I was wondering if Sony or Pioneer or anyone for that matter had one coming out. I also would love to see more...

Peter The HDTV material that I have seen thru my local cable company is outstanding! BUT, I am rather new at this too. I had the 47wx53 for about 2 weeks before my cable company hooked up the HDTV and for a week I only watched HDTV channels. We only have 6 here, but I watching PBS and...

I've got a Panasonic 47wx53 that is almost a month old and I've been waiting to try any convergence with the service menu for at least a month(I've been doing ALOT of research on the forums), BUT I wrote down all of my service menu settings and then played with the horizontal width and...

It won't work when I hook up the video and audio cables from the vcr to the cable box, in AND out. When I am watching my cable tv input and turn on the vcr nothing happens, WITH the video and audio cables hooked up from the vcr to the cable box...and yes I've made sure that I was hooking up the...

Wow, well you won't hear me beeching about Best Buy for quite a while! I went there today and asked for my free chair and as I watched the clerk ring up my old ticket I saw $1499 magically go to $1399 on my new ticket, no questions asked! And the chair rang up at $349.99 so thanks for suggesting...

I mean with composite video cables if I turn the power on the VCR nothing happens while if I hook up the vcr with coax cable (cable outlet in wall --vcr--cable box) and turn the power to the vcr I can watch and record with vcr. Thanks Andy

I just got a HDTV box from my local cable company and it seems that my VCR won't work at all with just hooking up video and audio cable. But it will work if I run the cable in to the vcr and out to the HDTV box. I'm wondering if there is any loss of signal or quality (especially since its...

Ooops, I guess I may have stumped some people here, but can someone at least answer my question on how you are supposed to calibrate a 1080i image with a calibration disc? (Because most dvd players are at most 480p) The way I see it, if I pop in "Digital Video Essentials" on a DVD player that...

I have a Panasonic 47wx53 and I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this when entering service mode. It seems that when I get in the service mode and switch to my DVD player (which happens to be the Samsung HD931) I can only change 4 color settings, the rest of the menu options are...

Yeah, the way I am, I will wait till the last day to take it back so I'll let you know then. I'm not sure what I'll do with the DVI cable, I would like to get a DVD recorder too I think. But aren't DVD recorders like a one time record, like CD-R's. Say for instance, if I want to record an...

Ok, I bought my Panasonic 47wx53 from Best Buy 2 weeks ago for 1399. The guy told me I had 30 days for the price match thing, and I could pick up any free offers that I missed too. Now, the deal at BB this week is a free recliner and they have extended the financing from 18 months to 24 months...

Kevin, I have the 47wx53 and I too purchased a Samsung HD931, I'm like you I'm trying to find differences in not only switching from 1080i to 480i on the Sammy, but comparing the 1080i to Xbox (which I guess should be pretty close to the 480i on HD931). Your right, the picture is fantastic on...

Hey everyone, I have a Sony receiver that was part of a home theater package (HT-DDW830) that I've had for about 2 years now. Now this receiver has 2 optical-digital inputs and 1 coaxial input. The coaxil can only be used for the DVD/LD input but the 2 opticals are labeled TV/SAT and then...

I just got a 47wx53 from Best Buy and the kid hassled me for 10 minutes about why I should get the warranty until I almost said forget the TV. Anyway, I'm sending the Panasonic extra care warranty card in today, does anyone know how much that cost? P.S. oh yeah, the kid at Best Buy said what...

It was on DVI setting B and I changed it to A and it made it a little better but not much. In fact, in the main menu where it shows the TV displaying Sound and Vision etc. half of the tv is cropped off!! I tried changing the DVD setup from widescreen to letter box(I figured it woudln't work) no...

I just noticed something when I'm trying to do calibrations on my Tv with this DVD, it seems like the sides are cropped off and that was confirmed when I played the DVD on my computer and there was more on the sides than what was on my tv. Now I have a Panasonic 47wx53 and I'm using the Samsung...

BTW What does Panasonic cover under warranty as far as calibrating...will a tech come out and adjust convergence, geometry and color (if it is off) under warranty or will I have to pay someone to do those things? Thanks, Andy Stocker

Is this the same as VM? (velocity modulation) If so, RATS!! Thats what I mean, I don't follow direction very well...so, now should I just leave the the wires unplugged?? Thanks, Andy P.S. OR is SVM only defeatable via service menu?? (I'm thinking its the same as VM tho)

WEll, after doing some research on HTF and also on Brett;s Panny website I've got a little confidence I maybe able to do this on my own if I follow directions. Since I've only had this set a week, the consensus seems to be that some specs of the set (convergence) seem to change on their own for...

I have the Samsung HD931 and I like it. It upconverts DVD material to either 720p or 1080i. I have DVI output as well and that was one of the main reasons I bought it. In fact DVI mode is the only way to achieve high definition quality from your dvd's (at least on this model it is). IMHO if you...
