Most people talk about brightness/contrast but dont mention color temp. Does having your color temp set to: cool (10,500K) Standard (6,500K) also play a big role in burn in? Just curious because it is never mentioned?
My new Pioneer Elite 520 HD RPTV arrives this morning and reading a few posts around here has me wondering which input on my TV will do better since my Pioneer Elite DVD player is a bit older?(I am wondering since this TV is supposed to have one of the best line doublers on the market and my DVD...
My old Toshiba 50h82 worked great with the samsung 151 ota stb. I believe the default output was 1080i. It looked so good I did not bother trying to change it to another resolution. Hope this helps.
Thanks, Ordered AVIA just a few minutes ago. I was considering waiting for the 530, but at the deep discount level on the remaining 520s I could not justify the added cost of DVI input. Anyone have any other suggestions: -like do you use the black enhance? -Light level meter that...
Hello all,
Just made a closeout purchase on the Pioneer Elite Pro 520HD and could not be more excited.
The new set arrives Tuesday and I am interested in settings that any of you that own this set have made or features you recommend enabling/disabling. I want to get it up and running prime...
I am not sure if you were replying to my post on dif. sounds.I agree that 2.9s can be set up to sound like 3.3s. However, I was referring to the dif. of 2.5s and 2.9s/3.3s. Anyone else bought these awesome monitors yet?
No. BB does not carry HDX only HX. Better make sure they are an authorized dealer though. Most stores like Sears + BB have 4 year service for about 300.00, and service through Toshiba is about 200.00 more. You should consider that in your price if you plan on getting service. Good luck.
Charles, Just the M6. I am using a very low Q sealed tempest in a 220 +litre enclosure. It is more than competent and musical at the very low end. I really like this speaker better than my old AC2 and maybe better than the top half of my 2.9s. Cheers!
After living with my M6 along side my 2.9s for a couple of weeks, I can tell you this speaker is up to the job. I have since heard the M5 and def. like the way the M6 voices much better. I know they are supposed to sound the same but they DONT. There is as much dif. as the 2.5 and the 3.3 minus...
Yep.
Took delivery of a floor model 47wx49 on wednesday and thought I had about an average deal. The color was waaaaay off and after hrs of calibrating no dice. The service tech came on Friday opened his tool box, turned on the set for 2 minutes, turned off the set, and closed his tool box...
Manuel,
Thanks again. It is not this remote:

While this one looks like a 4 in 1 remote, mine is a 8-9 in one remote. (Bigger). I tried to find a picture on the web but no dice.
Just let me know if this is too much trouble.
Thanks!
I have found the owners manual, long-short service manuals on the web, but have not had any dice with the remote control manual which they conveniently placed in another manual that I do not own.
I desperately need to program my remote that came with my TV. My wife is on a mission to remove...
different strokes for differnet folks...
and so on and so on...
ah.ahh.ahhh.
Bose are for everyday people.
I can just see the commercial now.
Just be glad they dont buy our precious B&W, NHT, THEIL, AREIL, AND ETC.. Keeps Demand low --->lower prices.
:D
Chris,
just move to chicago from Decatur :)
Took receipt of the TV today and it is awesome. In fact plain old vanilla digital cable looks 100% better than I thought it would. DVD is awesome.
BTW, the tech. is coming on Friday to calibrate it so I expect another 10%+ more in terms of...
I have a buddy was about to pull the trigger on a Velodyne CHT10 for 400.00, and recommended he consider the Vance Dickenson Kit from Parts Express with the 10" Titanic sub.
Tell me if I led him in the wrong direction. The Vance Dickenson sub was 350 and looked sign. better numbers wise...
Thanks for the link. The price may better on line but I prefer to buy locally for RPTV. Even if that means losing a feature or two. My price was still good enough for me. I have been to the Panny website- great link. Thanks for the cable recommendation. Any thoghts on the other questions...
Well, I pulled the trigger on the Best Buy floor model Panasonic pt47wx49 model with the optional screen protector
(I figure that I can always remove it later if it is a problem) for $1200.00. :)
Off the bat, the picture on the floor was bad, but so were all the other RPTVs on the feed...
Kathy,
good for you.
You are not likely to run into a problem since you are not running full range in the rears.
How long 14 guage runs are you laying out for the surrounds?
You may also consider running 2 runs in case you move up to 7.1 later on. Easier to lay down 2 runs at once...
Kevin, Thanks again. Observation from my audiophile friends: Have you ever noticed NHT lovers, B&W lovers, and Burmeister are agreeable Theil lovers are more in line with Sonus,and Viennas. All very good but seem to have a cluster like affect. Now that I know you are Theil lover, I...
Lee, Thanks...Good info. I am waiting for my mag. in the mail but cant wait that long to see how the ranked dif. components. Do you know if there is a link on line to view thier picks and rankings. I did not have any luck. Thanks again!
Initial impressions are good:
For those of you familiar with the 2.9, 3.3s
Finish:
-The finish is nicer than the 2.9s (wont smudge or leave fingerprints- my wife likes better :) )
Sound:
(I am expecting the sound will continue to open up as it breaks in but here are a couple of initial...

Sorry for the long post, but I have heard some concerns (to me it just sounded like the reviewer really like the HT application - This is SVM though not stereophile) with the M6 base on a reviw of the M5 in SVM which actually praised the speaker:
