Are you looking for a true LCD display, or a LCD RPTV? Makes a difference. I purchased a LCD RPTV online, but even though it is really light, it had to be delivered via a freight company(box is huge). The company I purchased from is an authorized dealer for everything they sell, and they are...
I purchased an extra 4 years of extended warranty for mine. I never normally buy the things, but since the purchase was larger than any of my other typical purchases, I felt why not. I have been dealing with the manufacturer over a problem for the past 6 months now, still without a resolution...
1. Do a search. There have been a ton of threads asking the same thing. 2. Can you provide a bit more info? What will you be using it for-DVD, OTAHD, cable, etc? Would you be happy with 480p, 720p or 1080i(or 1080p down the road)? Where will the set be located in your home(basement, lots of...
I have a nice straight shot at the antennas on Farnsworth, but the problems I have had with OTA digital has been because the local stations are consistently inconsistent with their equipment and/or programming. Everyone is still in their infancy with digital broadcasts, but I expect to see...
No, they are NOT a waste of time. Some of us, myself included, don't watch very much tv-I'd rather be out enjoying life than sitting on my ass. There is far too much crap included with sat packages, so it is a non-issue for me. DVD & a few HD shows(OTA via the built-in ATSC tuner) each week are...
I emailed Comcast with the same type of question-a few times. The only response I have received from them has been a "canned" response that does not address cablecards at all. But, they will be required to make them available to those who want them. I thought it was at the end of April, off the...
I'm pretty sure that at some point all the settings will be lost. Sounds like a good question to ask the manufacturer. You won't be saving any money by not having it plugged in, and I can't think of any negative impact you might have aside from a huge bolt of lightning blowing out your entire...
Biggest differences for me: 1. Physical size and weight. It's almost like comparing a refridgerator to a toaster oven. 2. Brightness & vividness. The LCD sets are super bright and very colorful. I can watch mine in direct sunlight without any problem. FP look fantastic, but I don't have...
I recently sold my Infinity Encore's because I just didn't like having to plug each one into an outlet. They sounded fantastic, but I wanted to get away from the "powered speaker" thing. I was all set to get the Alpha 50's, went to CC to hear them & just for kicks, listened to the other speakers...
By all means, do some tinkering. I set mine up using the Video Essentials dvd. I think the primary things you should be concerned with are the contrast levels, brightness and color levels. Mine was excellent out of the box, but after messing with some of the settings, it is even better. One of...
Chris, Nobody has been mentioning anything about the "unauthorized" sites that seem to be all over the place. So far, the discussion has been limited to reputable dealers. I purchased my tv online through a b&m store and couldn't be happier with the experience. Just do your research & you...
abtelectronics.com These guys are actually a b&m. They've been around for quite some time. Service on par with Crutchfield. Nice prices, ability to pricematch, discount, etc. I purchased my Panny 50" LCD from them. Couldn't have had a smoother transaction. Very pleased with how they handle...
Funny how these things work. I currently have JBL's(Studios) and have been seriously considering the Athena's(floor standing). The JBL's are nice, but I think only their larger speakers are where they shine. If it were me, I would buy the Micra 6's off the BB website. If I didn't like them, I'd...
First and foremost, you have to remember that this is Intel. They are famous for saying things well in advance of an actual product(paper release). What they are supplying is merely a chip, which you can read about all over the place. As to when, how many & if prices will drop-depends on how...
Sounds like you need to either look at CC's website to find out their return policy, or just give them a call/stop by. I know they have a 30 day return policy, but have no idea about the rest of your questions. I don't think you have to worry about the box though-they usually take it with them...
I'd check the internet. Quite a few of the b&m stores have an internet presence as well, and their prices are usually very good compared with what you can get locally. I bought the 50" Panny from a b&m via the internet and couldn't be happier. Saved me about $700.00, which obviously made me happy.
I purchased my set online, shipped by truck from the east coast to Salt Lake City. There was no problem with the shipping whatsoever. Not even the smallest of dents in the large box it comes in. If I were you, I would reconsider your position on that. I know that when I was ready to purchase...
I spent quite a bit of time comparing between the Sony, Panny, Hitachi & Samsung(dlp). I had originally thought the Samsung was the one, but by the time I had decided I could wait no more, the rear projection lcd sets hit the market. I honestly like the picture better on the lcd than the dlp...
Hank, Just look at how awesome the F2 is. Don't listen to the C1, just buy it and give it a try. Theoretically, the same company & technology should equate to a similar sounding speaker. If you go to BB with those thoughts in mind, just walk in, grab a salesman and tell them you want the C1...
Kevin, When I was auditioning the F1's and F2's, I naturally had to listen to every other speaker in the Athena line(and all the other speakers at BB). When I listened to the C1, I was very unimpressed. It sounded like it was being forced or strained, yet providing a very minimal...
I'm going with the f2's. I spent quite a bit of time auditioning them at Worst Buy, and even though I could only listen to their non-changable settings(on the receiver, etc), I was really impressed more with the F2's. Listen to the F1. Sounds good. Switch to the F2 and you get a much fuller...
