    Motion Blur on a Plasma?

    If your not seeing any motion blur while viewing Blue-Ray then it's not your tv. It's probably your cable company and the compression they use. The more compression, the more channels they can offer. I see the same blurring on a couple of channels I get from Charter. It doesn't happen all the...

    Panasonic TH46PZ85U plasma initial thoughts and why I chose it over LCD

    I ordered the TH-50PZ80U and it will be here on Thursday. A friend has a Sharp Aquos and I wasn't really impressed with the PQ. I will say that this person knows nothing about calibration and I'm sure the tv is still in the factory mode. My mom has a 3 year old Toshiba DLP. After I used the...

    Open old Mac discs on PC?

    If you have a college close to you, talk to the computer science personal. They just may have an older mac sitting around that you could use. People also donate computers to non-profits. Check at schools,daycare centers,libraries, & churches. Randy T

    Which 32-36" TV's offer squeeze mode

    Jeff, Any TV can view widescreen DVD's, but unless you have a TV with 16:9 enhancement (Squeeze mode) you loose around 20% -25% of resolution when viewing widescreen material. Go here for more information. Randy T

    More than 128 MB on Win 98?

    PC130 memory should be backwards compatible. It should work fine. You tried to upgrade to Windows XP and something went wrong with your CD-Drive? HP support sucks...I know....I use to own one! Give me your system specs and model number. I'll try to help you get XP running correctly. Randy T

    Making the jump, need a little help.

    Nathan, After reading your post,I have a couple of questions. What are your viewing habits? Do you watch more TV or DVD's. What "type" of DVD's do you own/rent (WideScreen or FullScreen)? Is HDTV available in your area? Samsung has a nice 27" HDTV-Ready TV for $699. Samsung I would not...

    Samsung TXM2790F TV, calibration question

    Jonathan, Settings can vary from TV to TV. Someone can have the same Samsung that has a great picture, but when you use the same settings, it doesn't look the same. First thing you should do is turn the contrast(Picture)down. Somewhere under 50%. I would really suggest either buying the Avia...

    Help picking out a 27" flatscreen.

    I would go with the Sony. The addition of the 16:9 Enhancement Mode for viewing "Amamorphic" DVD's is a big plus! Randy T

    Direct view 32" with controls on TOP?

    Sony is the only manufacturer that I know of that makes a television with "top-mounted controls". You could look at the Sony KV-32FS100. Best Buy has it for $799, but you may find it cheaper from another retailer or online. Randy T

    What upgrades will increase performance on my PC?

    As with most "name brand" computers, upgrading can be a nightmare. They don't want you to be able to upgrade too much...they want you to buy a new computer! A ram upgrade is easy. If the mainboard has an AGP slot, you could upgrade your video to a G-Force 3. I don't believe that you would gain...
