I'm thinking of upgrading my toshiba CRT. I'm looking at the 42" Hitachi Directors series, and the Pioneer 42" Eliete. The main question is what is the different techonioligy. Also in your opinion which is the better set. i want to keep this to about 2500 out of pocket. The system is being used...

Hi all, If anyone can help I'd really appericate it. I'm close to buying the hitachi 60vx915 Directors Series LCD. I was just wondering thoughts on this and if anyone has this tv. It looks great to me but any info into this tv would be a great help. Thx Bob

John, You wont find the higher end Hitachi at and BB or CC. It is only found at authorized Reps. It also will not be found on the net. Go to http://www.hitachi.us/tv and then to Dealer Locator to find the dealer closest to you. Please look at this tv before you buy any other LCD. Bob

Alan and John, To respectfuly reply to, "To me the "XBR" Sony's are in a class by themselves." Not a chance, the Hitachi Director Series 60vx915 is by far the best LCD on the market. The black levels are almost on par to the best DLP. The colors are bright and viberant. NO screendoor efect...

Benny, I just got back from looking at the Mitsu 725, Sony XS, and the Hitachi Director Series. IMO I think the best one was the sony XS, here are the reasons why. 1) The black levels look ok to me. 2) I didn't see any screen door effect, where as i saw the rainbow in the Mitsu. Set-up seemed...

Hi all, I'm looking between the hitachi 60vx915 lcd an the sony 60" XS series and the Mitsu 62725. The Question that I have is, does anyone have an honest opinion on either of these TV's. The problem that I have been encountering it that I can't find a dealer that has both of these tv's in...

benny, Mitsu 825 diamond series can be had online for under 4K. The 60" Sony grand wega LCD was 3.7K at BB you can get the 55" online for about 2.5K. Again good luck and I'm going out tommorow to look at the others including the Mitsu 825 and will reply back after that. Bob

Benny, I'm in the same situation, looking for a tv between 50"-60". I went out and looked at the Mitsu 525, all I can say is that I was extreemly dissapointed! I saw this tv at BB and I took the avia calibration disk and the store let me play with the tv. All of the following was after...

Hi All, On my previous post I was asking for help b/t lcd and dlp. I think I have decided to go with a DLP. The Units I'm looking at are the Mitsu wd52725/825, Samsung HLP5085W, and the Toshiba 52HM84. Which would you prefer and what do you think about each. I have read that the sammy light...

Hi, First thanks to all who reply. I just bought a shore house and I'm interested in buying a new big screen TV. However I'm not sure which to get. I don't want plasma. I was wondering your inputs the positive and negative to each. I'm looking between 42-55"/ space is not a problem. Also...

Vb, You can find a 20" lcd westinghouse for 599.

Hey all, Does anyone know where to get a refurb lcd/plasma tv? If so, what brands to stay away from and what brands to go after. Laugh if you will but my price range is around $500. I don't need HDTV I already have a 46" RPTV. I just want like a 17-23" flat pannel tv. thanks to all those...

Curtis, Strangley enough, I asked asced about package deals, and all they do is sell you the HSU product for the price listed on HSU's website. The ascend surround is 858 + HSU price.

All I have to say is, you guys kick ass. Thanks for all the input. I think that I'm going to give the SVS pci 20-39 a whirl. For two main reasons: One, I think that the Hsu vtf-3 mkII might be a little too much sub for me in my current location. I still have to be a "bit" curitous of...

Hi all, I've narrowed my sub search to two subs, the hsu vtf-3 and the svs pci 20-39. My room dimentions are 22' x 16', with about a 3 ft opening on the left corner and a 1 and half opening on the left front. (right by the corner opening.) I live in an apartment building but on the top...

Hi I sent my room dimentions and price range to Hsu, and he told me a stf-3 would work great in the corner. I don't know much about the stf-3. Can someone please explain the differences between the vtf and the stf line for me. here is what i sent Hsu: Budget : $ 650 Listening Preference ...

Hi all, and thanks to all who reply, I am about ready to purchase the ascend 5.1 setup. I currenty have a denon 1804 avr, denon 3800 dvd, toshiba 46h83, and two jbl lx600's. My main question is what sub is best for my size room? My setup is in a room size of 22' x 16'. Also keep in...

joe, I have it. If you use the multi zone speakers for the 2 side rears, the 1804 will adjust appropiately to make it 7.1. Now like i said before, it's not a true 7.1 but it does very well for me. Bob

-component video switching -2nd Room/Zone (does not need to be powered) -good virtual 5.1 sound (for TV broadcasts) -would like 6.1 or 7.1 All of these are capable with the Denon 1804. Even to 7.1 bob

Ryan, To HELL with the 36" toshiba. You can goto best buy and get the 46h83 for about 1499 and about 1550 shipped! If you have the room for it get it. I also agree with looking into the Denon 1804 and 2803. I have the 1804 and it works great, it is a 6.1 that can perform a pretty good...

Lance, They do have what you asked about, and they are 7-10 yrs old. So you would recomend these as my fronts over boston? thanks bob

Hi all and thanks for reading and respnoding to this thread. My dad just gave me a pair of jbl lx600 speakers. This throws a wrench into my plans b/c I was planning on getting the ascend surround with the hsu vtf-2 sub. How in your opinion do these speakers match up with the...

Also will these speakers be enough for the size of my room? or might they be to much? thanks Bob

Ok all, First thanks for taking the time to read this thread. I'm moving into a new apt in 10 days and want to get a good surround system my budget is around 1200-1500. Oh and my room dimentions are 15'10" x 22'. THeses are the current speakers that i'm looking at and my current setup...

Rick, If you want the best system for the money buy the rocket ELT by onix...regular price =899 but call and ask for sean, he has a "b" stock set for i think $714. Great speakers and all. Good luck bob

easy, just get a calabration disk

no... not big at all, if you see a mitsu and a toshiba side by side you can see the redish tone on the toshiba, but like i said it can be turned down and you wont be upset with the purchase... btw the 46h83 does come with a DVI hookup Best of luck bob

michael, I have a toshiba 46h83, I recommend getting the warranty. Not b/c of faulty problems with the toshiba but that if a gun in your tv goes it might cost more to replace that one gun that to buy your set.... just some food for thought bob

jeremy, I have toshiba 46h83, the tv just has a warmer feeling (redish). However you can turn it down if you want to. I love my set and hd is incredible!!! bob

harold, do yourself a favor and DO NOT buy a sammie rptv... like the others are saying, bump. the top 3 rptv makers are, #1 mitsu, #2a toshiba, #2b, hitachi. lokk at these before you buy anything. I would highly recomend buying a smaller screen to get a better pic if it doesn't fit into your...
