    Why is it so hard to find the Warner Legends Collection?

    Not only could I not find the box set in my little corner of Canada, I had a hard time finding individual copies of the discs. My main interest was Sierra Madre and it was nowhere to be found. Finally, after giving up hope of finding it locally, I ordered it from Amazon.ca and was given the...

    Just bought a Toshiba 51H83 today

    Yeah, I understand that what works for one may not be ideal for others. I am just wondering the range some people may be in... how high do pople generally feel is too high for Brightness and Contrast? I want to make sure I avoid doing any damage to the set.

    Just bought a Toshiba 51H83 today

    Could someone provide me with good video settings (Brightness, Contrast, etc.) for the 51H83? I just got mine days ago and am working through the Avia disc. I am just wondering what numbers some other people are using.

    Is Chicago Delayed in Canada?

    I am on the east coast and saw 'Chicago' at WalMart tonight. I could not find 'The Good Thief' however. I stopped by a video rental store to see if they received a copy and was told that it was delayed. Anyone have any details?

    Three Colours Trilogy - CA vs US?

    Quick question: Are there any significant differences between the Canadian and American versions of the recently released region 1 discs of Kieslowski's Three Colours Trilogy? Am I right in thinking that Universal released it in Canada and Miramax in the US? If so, are there any...

    Uneven Widescreen Distortion

    I just ordered the Avia so I am hoping for good results on that end. I went to panny.tv and downloaded the service manual. To fix the convergence grid, will I need to make a pincushion adjustment? Will this require removing the cabinet back cover? In the pincushion adjustment instructions it...

    Uneven Widescreen Distortion

    Thanks guys! I will give Panasonic a call and see if I can start getting at those service menus. By the way, would the Avia guide be of any help?

    Uneven Widescreen Distortion

    I hope this makes sense to you guys... I noticed tonight while watching a 2.35:1 film on my Panasonic PT-47WX42C (47" widescreen) that the widescreen 'black bars' are unevenly distanced from the top of the screen. By this I mean that the far right side of the top black bar is approx. 2 1/2...

    Poor Definition in Dark Colours...

    Thanks for your responses so far guys. To answer a few questions: - Light level is low in the room with no direct light hitting the screen. - I am using a component cable connection with progressive scan enabled. I am hoping it is an issue with the player rather than the tv (for obvious...

    Poor Definition in Dark Colours...

    I have tried a set-up disc, though I cannot remember the name of it (not Avia or Video Essentials). I have tried adjusting every video level available on the tv, but no luck. What sort of tests do the Avia or Video Essentials discs offer? The one I had was not much more than "if the red...

    Poor Definition in Dark Colours...

    Hopefully some of you guys can help me out a bit on this one... I have noticed that on many of my DVDs I get very poor definition in the darker colours on screen. Strangely, it is especially noticeable in people's clothing. My copy of Criterion's 'Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie' offers a...
