    *** Official HP 1080p md5880n/md6580n discussion thread ***

    Thanks much for the insights. I have some cash to burn for my business before the end of the year and a new TV to prep for PlayStation3 made some sense (I work in the videogame industry) which claims to support 1080p as an output format when it arrives in 06. Given that it's a supported...

    Horrible Artifacting on Sci Atlanta Explorer 8300HD

    Now at my home, I have a 56" Sammy HLN DLP and a beautiful HD Tivo (HDR-250). Picture is spotlessly clean and even SD material looks great. I have the two connected via HDMI/DVI. Now I get to my mother's place, and I just recommended she pick up a Sammy DLP (her's is an HLP series I...

    Cheap Multi Room Amp?

    I have a friend that has a mid range Harmon Kardon receiver with mutltiroom outputs. In his billard room, he has two simple in-ceiling speakers that the builders have run cable to his entertainment center for. Obviously, he needs to run his multiroom outs to some sort of amp, and then the...

    Samsung DVD-HD931 Progressive Scan DVD Player with DVI output for $234.94 shipped!

    I bought this unit and was completely blown away by the image clarity on DVI (output on my Sammy 50" DLP). At the same time, it was plagued with various playback issues when outputting in 720p or 1080i depending upon the discs played. Audio didn't sync properly with the video on movies like...

    Center Channel Recommendations?

    My current mains are a/d/s L300e bookshelf speakers currently (probably about 6 to 7 years old now). So you're suggesting looking for an a/d/s center?

    Center Channel Recommendations?

    I'm looking for a decent but fairly inexpensive (under $400-$500) center channel to connect to a Sony 5000ES receiver. Anyone have any recommendations?

    42" Displays...

    Thanks much for the feedback. That 50" Panny plasma is beautiful (we have one at work) and I'll check the dimensions to see if it fits. Barring that, I'll probably go for a Sammy DLP. I didn't know there was a 46" which may well do the job.

    42" Displays...

    Does anyone have any recommendations on a 42" HD display that they particularly like? I just bought a new house and it has this damn media center built into the wall and I think the largest display I can accomodate is about 42" based upon some rough measurements I took from sets at Frys...

    Samsung?

    I've been thinking about that DVI switching issue too Bruce. I don't suppose anyone knows of any HD DirecTv receivers with DVI passthrough (there's only 3 on the market currently, right? Samsung and the Sony/Zenith models that are identical?)? Anyone have any thoughts on that?

    Samsung?

    I'm almost a complete noob here and this is my first post after having lurked for several months. I finally got up the courage to register and ask a question (ok, a few questions) of the fine folks here regarding some purchases I'm considering making relatively soon. I'm about to relocate to...
