    Projector+Monitor=Switch Box?

    Thanks, I just got back from CompUSA...exchanged the WinTV 401 for the View Sonic. I was considering trying both like you said, but they charge a 15% restock fee...and since refresh rate isn't an issue at 1024x768 anymore, I'd rather have the MUCH more convenient -- and quiet -- solution via...

    Projector+Monitor=Switch Box?

    Hmm, well those guys over at AVS forum certainly seem to know what they're talking about...and so if they did indeed give about equal likeness between the two, I think I'll likely go with the viewsonic...convenience certainly IS nice! Do you think the difference in refresh rates would be a...

    Projector+Monitor=Switch Box?

    Thanks for the feedback. They don't carry monitor switchboxes at CompUSA anymore unfortunately though...so should I still take a chance ordering one on the internet. I mean, they're cheap so it's not a huge deal, but that would be kinda poopy to get a lemon. ;) That scaler looks very...

    Projector+Monitor=Switch Box?

    Hi everyone. I just recently purchased a NEC projector [I'm pretty dang excited to be jumping into the FP world...now when it just GETS HERE! lol!]. Since I don't have a scaler [1024x768 native res]...or the MONEY to buy a scaler, I'm going to be using dscale to get the type of picture I'll...

    Front Projector features?

    Hi, thanks for your help with my situation regarding choosing a projector. I have a couple more questions, and I'd be very grateful if you could possibly help me out once again: I'd certainly plan on getting a line doubler. I have a laserdisc player (from back in the day!), and also a dvd...

    THX Select -- best speaker system?

    I looked up 'local' THX retailers here [Fresno, CA]...but unfortunately there's isn't one for about 3 1/2 hours away... So no, I haven't heard either of the systems yet... though I certainly wish I could! I may be down south further in a few months...but I'm not sure if I can hold out not...

    THX Select -- best speaker system?

    Hmm. Well a few more questions for the two of you [and anyone else!], if you don't mind: If I was only in a position to buy the M&K's with the 550's, which then would you prefer/recommend: the M&K system, or the Atlantic Tech 270? And, just as a reminder, I'm looking for the system that...

    THX Select -- best speaker system?

    Hi there. I've had the same speaker system for about 7 years, and while they've served splendidly over all this time, I'm ready for an upgrade. I've pretty much determined that I want to purchase a THX Select System -- I don't really need the ULTRA, but I would really love to have the THX...

    Anyone use "real" speakers for computer speakers?

    Hi there. I have my HT set up to my computer also. With your audigy you should be able to hook up [up to] a 5.1 analog setup (if your receiver has 5.1 analog in. This is very good for games, since they're not truly 5.1...but the sound card drivers will emulate it pretty well ('creating' the...
