My NAD T763 reciever came bundled with a pretty nice universal remote that now controls all of my gear. Is anyone aware of a method or code to choose a video input on the Samsung DLP HLN507W directly, rather than scrolling through the on-screen menu? I still have the Samsung's original...
I've been a fan of this wonderful gem of a show since accidently catching an episode a couple years back. Bless the WB for running GG "Beginnings" so I could catch up. Anyone know how to get an e-mail of appreciation to the hugely talented Palladinos?
I love all my components, and I enjoy seeing them "in action". I don't find it distracting in my HT, yet I'm annoyed by the lit EXIT signs in conventional full-size cinemas. Weird.
It tells the potential widescreen TV buyer that 2.35:1 material can be zoomed to fill his/her 16:9 set. If this cannot be done, it is tantamount to false advertising, no?
Home Theater Magazine features a widescreen TV face-off this month. In every single photo of the sets in action, the image shown on screen is from a movie that was shot in the 2.35:1 aspect ratio. (X2, Charlie's Angels Full Throttle) And yet each set shows the image filling the entire...
It's a NAD T562 hooked up via component to my new Samsung 50 inch DLP set. It's a fairly high-end player. (Or so I thought) My original player was the old Pioneer Elite DVD/LaserDisc combo. It was an interlaced player, also hooked up using component out/in.
Since I upgraded my old interlaced DVD player for a progressive scan model, I've noticed that some frames of motion in certain scenes appear to be "skipped over", causing a very slight, but noticable "jump" in the action. Is this "Judder" ? And would switching back to interlaced and letting my...
I'm planning on mounting my bookshelf speakers on the wall just above and behind my 50 inch Sammy DLP. The unit rests on top of a cabinet, so the screen itself extends about a foot and a half from the wall, due to the depth of the TV. How important is it for the front surface of the speakers to...
Thanks, Stephen. That's what I suspected. I watched MIB last night on the Sammy using my old Pioneer interlaced DVD player through the component inputs. It looked fantastic! Gotta give credit to the built-in scaler doing it's job. :)
Howdy, folks. I'm a first time poster who just bought the Samsung 50 inch DLP set. Has anyone paired one of these sets with an external video scaler, like the Faroudja Native Rate or HD Leeza, letting the box handle the upconversion to 720p, as opposed to the set itself? If so, what have the...
