    New TV arrives tomorrow, what settings first

    Jason, I too have a Panny47wx53, and I'm loving it. You can just go ahead and use the Avia disk to get a nice clean picture for now. You'll probably notice a slight red push when you get to the color decoder check, but I would just level it off the best I could by toning down the color...

    What Receiver/Speaker combo would you recommend for a newbie on a budget?

    Ron, I've recently purchased the Acoustic HC6 Research system through Best Buy for $325.00 w/ tax. They have a nice lacquered "Piano Black" finish and are really attractive speakers for that kind of a price. I then went to OneCall.com and ordered the Onkyo TXSR500 Receiver for 175.00 w/...

    42-47" RPTVs, down to 3 models

    John is right Jeff. I don't think the person you talked to on the phone knew exactly what was going on. I live in Atlanta and got the TV within 5 days via motor freight. Service seemed fine and the TV is working with no problems. I would definitely vouch for it. But this is my first HDTV...

    Newbie narrowing search for RPTV - advice?

    Just wanted to reply to you in this thread as well about the DVD player that I purchased. There's a company simply called V that sells the Bravo D1 for around 200 bucks. It has a DVI output that you can plug into your RPTV if it has the capability. Since I purchased the pt47wx53, I was able to...

    Jeff, I just bought a Panny 47" pt47wx53, and I've been quite pleased so far. The model that I purchased has a screen protector and has DVI, so you can feel safe about the future as well if you go with this model. I bought it at onecall.com for around $1380.00 with shipping and with...

    Inexpensive DVI DVD Players

    Thanks for the info guys! I went ahead with the Bravo D1. They go for around 200 bucks, and have heard that the video quality coming from its DVI interface, is much better than almost any progressive scan DVD player with component output out on the market. Also, you can buy DVI cables for a lot...

    Inexpensive DVI DVD Players

    I've done a little researching and saw that the BRAVO D1 player had a pricetag of $200 and seemed to have a very nice picture quality with its DVI output. Does anyone else vouch for any other DVI DVD players? I just bought a Panny 47" HDTV, and it has a DVI input. I'd really like to take...

    Thank you HTF, from a first time poster!

    Ahh yes, I will most definitely will have my Avia disc handy after installing the set. I've also learned that I will probably need to have the set "warm up" for a couple of months, and reconfigure again. panny.tv is a good website to get info on configuring the panny HDTV's as well. Thanks...

    Thank you HTF, from a first time poster!

    I just wanted to thank everyone for providing the advice I needed in purchasing my very first HDTV and progressive scan DVD player! I had a budget of about 1500 so I went with the Panny 47" (pt47wx53). Bought it for around $1375 at One Call including tax and shipping. These models do have DVI...
