    Decided on Hitachi 51s500

    Due to the fact that my wife told me we could split up the ht and listening equipment (one listening room, living room becomes ht room), I was able to go up to a 51 incher. I decided the 51swx20b was the best, but none could be found around here. So the next best thingis the 51s500 the supposed...

    DLP component vs DVI

    This is a good topic, since one of the issues brought up in the AVS Forums is in regards to the Sammy DLP's poor DVD progressive component output playback. Is the playback of DVD's interlace ouptut through the components to the Sammy that much better?

    Sony KP-46WT500 vs. KP-46WT510

    He said in the next few weeks. I didn't actually ask about any other specs than the upconversion/downconversion issue. I guess that was all that really mattered to me at that point.

    Sony KP-46WT500 vs. KP-46WT510

    I talked to sony reps since I have been researching this extensively also and found that the 510 upconverts 720p signals to 1080i. The 500 downconverts this 720p to 480p. This is was important enough for me to wait on purchasing one.

    KV34XBR 800 vs KP46wt510?

    Thanks for the replies. Most of the issues were having to do with the geometry - and most of this research was done in the avs forums. Otherwise, I 've heard good things about the set.

    KV34XBR 800 vs KP46wt510?

    Well after some research on the AVS forums, I am starting to come to teh conclusion that the new kp46wt510 might be the set to buy. There just seems to be a lot of issues with the Sony 34inch WS cRT's. The kp46 on the other hand has gotten very good reviews, with not much in the way of problems...

    KV34XBR 800 vs KP46wt510?

    Hi everyone, I've been spending the past week or so researching TV's fairly heavily. Our old but reliable 27 inch Sony Trinitron is calling it quits and we need to replace it. My room in which my entertainment system resides is 10x11.5 feet, very small. I do 75% DVD watching, 25% TV. My wife...

    Audio Refinement Pre5 vs Pre2 vs Wait!?

    Hi everyone, I've been lurking around for quite awhile now and have learned immensely from everyone's post. I think this is one of the most professional and inviting forums I've visited (I normally visit the Audio Asylum forum). At heart, I'm an audiophile on a budget. An audio admirer if...
