That's great to hear! Thank you very much!

Mr. Harris, Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this release. The one question I'm having a hard time finding an answer to is whether the SD extras on the UK release are in 480p or 576p. I have ordered the UK release as well and am looking forward to it arriving in the next day or two...

There is another UK version, listed as region-free, that I have ordered and I think many folks might be interested in. It also doesn't contain North by Northwest. For whatever reason, this version has been staying under the radar. The way I see it, it's a hybrid of both the US and UK...

While IMDB indeed confirms the existence of 70mm prints with six track audio, it also clarifies that it was shot on 1.33:1 35 mm negative to be projected at a matted 1.85:1 aspect ratio: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090056/

I decided to just order it from Amazon.ca and be done with it. Yes, it will cost me a bit more but at least I know it's coming this week sometime. I also know my luck in that, on the day it arrives, I will also suddenly find it at my local Best Buy.

I highly recommend going with a THX certified display and, as Gregg just mentioned, I can say I highly value both quality control and video standards. I recently consulted on a purchase that my mother made and I steered her in the direction of a 42-inch Panasonic G10 plasma model which is THX...

I would also like to remind both Fox and Best Buy that these titles -need- to be carried in B&M stores that we can actually go to on the release date. Best Buy's decision to not stock many recent "classic" titles in their Minnesota stores is most disappointing and they lost out on several of my...

Thankfully I finally got this to work. The key sequence has to be pressed -very- quickly. Any slight pause between any of the keys causes it to not work.

I recently burned the new firmware on a CD-R and when I placed it in the open tray, entered the "9" "8" "7" "6" sequence followed by the "Pop Up Menu/Menu" key, all per the instructions, nothing happens. Please tell me that someone else out there has had this issue. Incidentally, I'm also not...

As both one of Gregg Loewen's long-time customers and as the son of my father who is also retired from the Air Force, I wish to send my sympathies to Randy's immediate family as well as to his extended family of those he touched along the journey of his life.

Let me be clear. I am first and foremost an HD DVD supporter and have been since day one. I am thankful for Universal and their presence on this particular format. While I cannot quote the exact sources (I know, my bad), I remember reading somewhere that Universal did indeed have a contract to...

Sounds like a lackluster list of titles from a studio doing nothing more than fulfilling their contractual obligation to the format until the end of the calendar year 2007.

Hello everyone! Gregg was at my home yesterday, for the fifth year in a row, doing his usual awesome work on my Toshiba CRT RPTV. I have thanked him personally but I'd like to publicly thank him as well. Gregg is a gentleman and a real professional. It has been such a great pleasure getting...

Thank you very much, Robert. I'm currently an owner of two HD DVD players and have been thinking of adding a Blu-ray player to my collection as well. I dealt with Robert Zohn at Value Electronics in the past when purchasing the two Toshiba units. Now today, based on this post of yours, I was...

Robert, Thank you very much for the info! It's much appreciated. If I may ask, do you know anything about possible Universal releases coming this year? Do you think they are diving into it as much as Warner Brothers? I know it certainly seems that way from my point of view. You had previously...

I had a player preordered from OneCall but decided to cancel the order today. I've been experiencing cold feet for awhile and the article from Video Business pretty much put me over the edge. I really look forward to the day when some sort of HD format is available on DVD. I'm just not convinced...

From one "Spence" to another, this looks great! Very nice job! I can only dream about being as far along as you. I'm still in the framing stage and also hope to start up an album in the HTF gallery sometime soon as I track my progress. Regards, David Spencer

Getting back to Matt's question... Matt, I own a set of seven HomeTech THX Select in-wall speakers (3 LCR models and 4 surround models) which are manufactured by Sonance. I also own two of the Crystal Audio THX-10 subs. This setup is being driven by a Pioneer 1015 THX Select receiver. I am...

Hello everyone! I just had to chime in and let you all know this thread has been incredibly helpful to me. I want to especially thank Jay for starting this in the first place and making this seem like not such a daunting task after all. I'm typically very savvy with wiring things but for some...

Thank you Porter! I finally decided on the 1015 and placed my order this morning. Once the receiver is in place, I will have all my surround sound components including seven Sonance HomeTech THX speakers and two Crystal Audio 10-inch THX certified subwoofers. I am confident this setup, while...

I'm getting close to purchasing the 1015 but was wondering if anyone has heard if there might be a 1016 in the works? Thanks!

For whatever it's worth, I just wanted to echo what has been mentioned a few times in this thread already. Please call TV Authority and talk to them about their offer. I've been dealing with Kirk Punches at TVA and he is a great guy! I'm a recent purchaser of the InFocus 4805 and I couldn't be...

Just wanted to thank everyone on this forum who has contributed in any form or fashion to the ongoing discussions regarding the InFocus 4805 projector. I'm happy to report I just ordered one today from Kirk Punches at TV Authority. This will make a great addition to my new home theatre...

Very glad to hear you had such a positive experience. Sounds like another satisfied customer!

Gregg is a true professional and very nice person to boot. I had the pleasure of sharing dinner and a cigar with him at a local watering hole last year when he was here in Minnesota. He's calibrated my Toshiba set twice and is scheduled for a third trip back this December when he makes his way...

Just wondering if anyone out there has purchased this projector, and if so, what they think of it. I'm debating between the 4805 and the 5000. The 4805 price point is low enough that I could purchase it sooner than if I waited to save a little more for the 5000. My wife and I are building a...

This topic got generated in a different thread, but I was hoping to get some more feedback on people's experiences with manual pull-down screens, so I created a new thread specific to this topic. I'm worried about wrinkles and ripples or waves on the screen surface of a pull-down model...

Thanks to both Matthew and Max! I appreciate your feedback. By the way, Matthew, since you mentioned having a pull-down Da-Lite screen, can I ask what you think of the quality and if it stays nice and flat without being tensioned?

Just wondering if anyone has had problems with their manual pull-down or electric screens vibrating (and thereby affecting the picture quality) due to a movie's soundtrack? A friend of mine just told me he went with a fixed tensioned screen mounted on the wall for his DLP projector to avoid the...

Thanks to all who have commented on this thread. I'm happy to say my decision has been reached and I'm ordering the following items: Studio Experience 1HD Projector Da-Lite High Contrast Matte White 45x80 screen (Model B w/CSR) I must admit I was swayed by the replies to this thread...
