Hey thanks for the site.

Can having my contrast too high damage my RPTV? I heard this from somewhere and i was wondering what the contrast level should be at. I currently have the contrast on 40 and brightness on 75. Is this ok? Thanks.

I just found out that DirectTV is cheaper than my basic cable but i dont know which is better. Which one has a better picture quality? Which one is the best overall?

I just bought this DVD at a store today and there is a section where you can do some video tests. I think its called THX Optimized. I was just wondering if this is similiar to the Avia or Video Essenstials setup disk because i dont want to spend like $30 on it if its the exact same as the one on...

What would happen if i chose the Dolby 5.1 without a receiver? I use my TV speakers. Wouldnt it sound better than the Dolby 2.0? I think most DVDs are already set on Dolby 5.0 so i should probably not even bother with it huh? Until i get some kind of a receiver that decodes Dolby 5.1 or DTS i...

Ok, can somebody please explain to me what all these different Dolbys mean? Before i watch a DVD i can choose from like 3 different Dolby options from the audio category. Dolby 5.1, Dolby 2.0 and Dolby Digital Surround. What does each one mean? Which one am i suppose to use? Which one is the...

My tv has the option to turn on a film mode which processes the 3-2 pulldown. I thought the progressive DVD player was suppose to this. Since i already have the film mode 3-2 pulldown does it mean that everything is deinterlaced and i dont need a progressive player? More info would be greatly...

Thank you for the link. It was very interesting and also very confusing. In the article it said something about the picture losing resolution when using a progressive scan dvd player. So does this mean that getting a progressive scan player might not improve the picture but instead make it worse...

What is a chroma bug? Do all Sony DVP-NS700P have the bug?

I plan on getting one very soon so i need some help on choosing the right one.:D I just bought a Toshiba 50h71 and my interlaced DVD player needs to go. I only want to spend about $250. I dont even know which brand is good so id be happy to hear some suggestions. THanks.

What does DTS mean? Whats a chroma bug and how do you get it?

So the cable company will rent you a HDTV receiver for a fee? Unless you order HBO or showtime the receiver isnt worth it right? Wouldnt it be better to buy a receiver instead of renting one from the cable company? Thanks.

Thanks for replying everyone. This is all very new to me so i am still very confused about how HDTV works. I currently have at&t cable service. If i buy a HDTV receiver then i dont need cable anymore right? But if i dont have cable then what channels will i get with the HDTV receiver? Only local...

Really? Thats weird. Thanks

I just purchased a Toshiba 50h71 HDTV. I dont have a clue on how it works. I heard that you need to buy a HDTV receiver. Is this all you need? Once its hooked up will all the channels be in HDTV? Thanks.

In the beginning of the movie the credits are shown in red letters. When i look at them close up i notice that they arent solid. It looks like there are 2 of each letter. I believe the term for that is called "ghosting". But the ghost letters are red too. It looks like a convergence problem but...

I am using component with monster cables. Someone told me to give the TV some time to break in. I think it actually worked. I sat down and watched TV for quite some time and the picture seemed like they were getting smoother. This TV is only 3 days old. Ive heard about 2 different brands of the...

I have a Toshiba 50h71 HDTV and a Toshiba sd1700 DVD player. As of right now im not too happy with my DVD picture quality. The monster cables greatly improved the picture but it still seems a little blocky. It just doesnt look smooth. Im currently using an interlaced DVD player but i plan on...

Thanks everyone for replying back. I did a search on the Avia Guide and they are selling it for $34.97. Is this the correct one? Is it worth the money? As of right now im not too happy with my DVD picture quality. The monster cables greatly improved the picture but it still seems a little...
