    Westinghouse 37"/42" 1080P as computer monitor???

    It looks like the Mac Mini will output 1920x1200 through DVI. It seems alot of people are running a dvi-dvi connection from their Mac Mini to the Westinghouse 1080P monitors with great results... http://www.123macmini.com/gallery/al.../050506142.jpg

    Westinghouse 37"/42" 1080P as computer monitor???

    I am going to be staying at a buddies house while I am selling my house and looking for another. Not much room in the bedroom so I am thinking of buying a 37" or 42" flat panel LCD for HD cable, xbox 360, and as a computer monitor with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. It might be the only monitor...

    Toshiba 62HM116 at Costco, 1080p, good buy?

    This tv doesn't accept a 1080p signal correct? Does it do a good job of upconverting the signal? Would I be better off just getting a tv that is not 1080p or is the processing good enough in this Toshiba to make it worth it? Thanks, Josh

    Toshiba 62HM116 at Costco, 1080p, good buy?

    Since this is a special model number, which model on the toshiba website would it be closest to? Do you think I should take a look at any of the other tv's I listed or does the 1080p make this one in a league of its own? Also what are the downsides of a DLP such as this?

    Toshiba 62HM116 at Costco, 1080p, good buy?

    I saw this at my local costco for ~$2700, seems like a really good price for a 1080p set with a stand and costco warranty compared to best buy or circuit city. What you guys think? What does this compare to on the Toshiba site? I am also looking at the following TV's at Costco: Mitsu WD62526...

    Any better bang for the buck?

    I posted it above, its a 42" edtv from Costco. I really don't think FP is an option right now for the reasons explained above. Thanks, Josh

    Any better bang for the buck?

    Yeh, only one place to watch tv in this house and it has two big bay windows, so the FP will have to hold off.

    Any better bang for the buck?

    It's a 42" EDTV from Costco. This is an intemediate step until I move and can go rear projection, then this tv will be put in the living room or bedroom. Also the actual viewing distance will be closer to 14' once you add in the width of the couch and entertainment center. Should be a good...

    Help choosing a BestBuy TV (employee discount)

    Yep, I am aware of the 30 day rule, not really a problem. I will also check into the JVC's listed. Once she starts I will have here pull the price on a bunch and see if there are any un-passable deals. I am always a sucker for a good deal. -Josh

    Help choosing a BestBuy TV (employee discount)

    Well front projection would be pretty much ruled out because this is our main living room with no light control and it will be used as standard TV 75% of the time. Thanks, Josh

    Help choosing a BestBuy TV (employee discount)

    Well I hate to be the first to respond to my own thread but I went to Bestbuy this weekend and found out my GF cost would be ~$2100 on the Panasonic 42" plasma. It looked great, however it might be too small for my 12' viewing distance. While I was there I couldn't help but I the Sony...

    yes I emailed Ron and he was very helpful, I just wanted to see what everyone here thought. I like watching movies at reference levels or slightly below, however when I watch them with my GF, it is quite a bit lower:thumbsdown: .

    Need some help with speaker choices... Dalhquist, Axiom, JBL, Klipsch

    John, Honestly the S38 all around are the front runner right now. For $600 and all five speakers just sounds like an unbelievable value. S38's front and back with the S-center. On the other hand if I am "missing" out on much better sound I would spend upwars of $1500. Hmmm, maybe I will...

    Hmmm, where can I find those? online? Didn't see them on that website. You see there are a couple of problems: 1) I have to know I am getting a good deal, bang for buck if you will. 2) My budget is pretty open, with literally hundreds of options. Is the Dahlquist QX9 for ~$350 per...
