    Opinions needed for KP-46WT500 and KP-51WS500

    i have the 46wt500 and i am very happy with the set. no problems at all. Dvd's look great on the set and i hear hd is excellent. cable is good depending on the feed. i've had my since Dec. 2002 and paid a little over $1600 for it. i also got the ext. warranty so it came out to about $2100 with tax.

    well i would do some more info searching to see if they're are any real changes to it. Also these set should be flicker free as some of the WS500 series had them.

    Please Kill me, I'm an idiot.

    Why don't you try to trade for someone's smaller(rptv) set and some cash? Might not be a great idea but it'a a option?

    Please Kill me, I'm an idiot.

    another thing to consider with your set that if you ever have problems(HOPEFULLY YOU WON"T) and it requires the set to be taken out of your home to be repaired, what will you do than. i would take that # down, and set some money aside just in case. How about a 46 inch sony:D . I love it but will...

    Sony KP46WT500 vs Hitachi 43FWX20B

    i would definatly use the zoom mode to eliminate the scrolling at the bottom of the text when watching the news. Switch up on news channels to avoid static images like CNN getting burned in.

    Just bought a Toshiba 34HF81

    cool, how much did you pay? how come you didn't get the 34h82 instead of the 81. both are great, don't get me wrong but the 82 has the dvi input also. so i'm wondering if you got a good deal on it? congrads, i'm sure you will be happy with it.

    which of these Samsung TVs would be best for a dorm room?

    I would get the 27 for the dorm room. that's a good size and it won't be too much on the back when your lifting it. it's a nice set and will fill your needs.
  14. Gilbert ^P

    what do I suggest for my folks - 13'x13', 80% CATV, 20% DVD/VHS

    why not a 36 inch Toshiba or Sony direct view. no worry with burn in. nice big size for the room. probably get itforwell under $2000

    questions about Samsung TXM3096

    Yes it will stretch the image to fit the screen if you choose to. Dvd's look great on the tv. a dvd player with 3:2 pull down is neccessary to help get rid of the artifacts when viewing dvd's. It does have 2 wideband component inputs so you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

    Help me choose a TV.

    I saw th 34 RCA at CC today and it looks good but for some reason, even if i bought it, i would still get the EW just for peace of mind. For mos DV's i wouldn't but with RCA, i hear their SD is horrible.

    Help me choose a TV.

    I have it on mine but I honestly don't think it's gonna be a big issue right now. I mean when you look at the big Picture, there are TONS of sets out there (HDTV) with out it. In my opinion that's money to be made so i'm sure company's will come up with some type of adapter to work through the...

    Help me choose a TV.

    well the with widescreen movies you're gonna get a bigger picture with the 34. So for future purposes such as HDTV, i think you will be much happier with the 34. 4:3 material will be smaller but you can stretch the image with it's capable Zoom modes. The 32 inch is great for 4:3 programming and...

    Problems with Constant Use?

    hmm that is a good question. well for the first few hundred hours, imo it is important that you let the set break in properly, meaning adjusting the picture from day one and also turning it of for a few hours after being on for a long time. also don't watch to much of the burn in channels like...

    toshiba Cinema 65hdx82 or rca scenium hd65w140

Lots of tweaks available for it. the Rca is an attractive set. i would DEFINATLY get an extended warranty for both especially the RCA since there service is terrible from all the post i've read at this forum and others. which...
