    MASTER BURN-IN THREAD: READ THIS FIRST! (And ask follow-ups here.)

    Thanks for posting the experience with Fox News, since we too have that station on frequently. I wish to Sam Hill stations would quit with the icons! I've started changing formats. My wife prefers stretch plus, so we use that most of the time. But now I also use standard - doesn't fill the...

    MASTER BURN-IN THREAD: READ THIS FIRST! (And ask follow-ups here.)

    Well, I'm probably not the best resource, since I've had my unit (Mits 55813) only five months, but I'll share my experience (positive, so far). I first calibrated my tv by eye, bringing contrast down, etc. Then, after a month, I got Avia and did that (was darn close, just using my eyes!)...

    MASTER BURN-IN THREAD: READ THIS FIRST! (And ask follow-ups here.)

    Yeah - I'm certainly no expert, and I've had my 55813 only two months, but everything I've read indicates burn in is essentially not an issue if you turn your contrast below 50% (which leads to the obvious *why* the heck don't the manufacturers ship them with contrast down, and include a note?)...

    MASTER BURN-IN THREAD: READ THIS FIRST! (And ask follow-ups here.)

    LOL! Ok, you two. :) Seriously, I worried about burn-in, but to know the whole story, the other technologies have their own issues as well. For instance, I *really* wanted LCD, but couldn't bear watching football on it. I tried, but the ghosting during fast plays was unbearable. So I tried...

    Line doubler in Mitsubishi RPTVs?

    We went with the 55813 (I still say we could have gone 65, but the wife says no :)), and I'm amazed at the SD and dvd picture. Much, much better than I'd expected. I think the line doubler must be doing a good job. Along those lines, I asked the salesman if I should buy a progressive scan dvd...

    MASTER BURN-IN THREAD: READ THIS FIRST! (And ask follow-ups here.)

    Wow, this is confusing. I have a 55813, contrast is down to around 30%, looks great. We vary viewing, and I've been hesitant to play the PS2 on it. However, with events like Saddam's capture, we do watch the news channels for a while. We just agreed to vary the format every half-hour...

    Yam HTR-5660/RX-V640: HD component switching?

    I received this answer from Yamaha. I have to say, I'm very disappointed. I didn't find this information until after the 30day return policy had expired.

    Yam HTR-5660/RX-V640: HD component switching?

    I sent this to Yamaha on 10/22. Edit: Please note - the paragraph below is what I sent to Yamaha. When it says "your site" and "your brochure" that refers to Yamaha's site, not this one. This site was never mentioned in my question. I'm concerned about my HTR-5660. When I bought it, I had...
