I own one with no issues thus far and I am a chronic Migraine/eye strain sufferer (PC monitors). If it does not bother me I figure it's worth a try for someone interested in them. I am definitely not returning it although I did return the DVI samsung DVD player. There are better players for less...

Ok, that makes sense Mike (I was hoping you would answer) I just kept hearing others refer to calibration on cable/sat/HD pictures so I figured I would ask. Thanks :emoji_thumbsup:

I would agree with your assertion regarding gamers. I am a HEAVY PC gamer and am used to moving my eyes quickly across the screen. Changing this eliminates the rainbows completely for me.

How are you calibrating your cable picture? Of course my Avia disc works to calibrate my 480i/p input to the DVD player but how are you using that on the other input the HD box is on? Are you just copying the settings over to the 1080i input? Seems that this is using your DVD settings for your...

I saw the rainbows for the first time sitting too close to my DLP RP watching an action scene in LOTR. Moving the seating position back not only improved my perception of overall PQ (which is great IMHO on this set) but cut out the rainbows because my eyes don't have to go as far as fast across...

Also a possibility since I have a P4 powered PC with an ATI 9600XT video card and Audigy 2zs THX sound card. The PC would probably put out better sound and picture than most DVD players. The trick is getting them close enough together or just running the cable all the way over there. I think I...

Very good point Bob. The first thing I connected though was my old sony DVD player and it looked terrible. I came from a 32" Toshiba so the bigger size I'm sure allows me to see more defects since I'm sitting just a foot further back at this time (mentioned above). HDTV came a week afther the...

for between $39 and $49 I can buy the 5 year tweeter warranty which should cover the motor replacement (I will make sure before paying) and the Tweeter 2 miles from my house is a Denon authorized service center (checked last night on Denon's site) so I think it will be ok. I wish Secrets would...

MuneebM, Well..with the AVR dial set just above 1/4 the volume previously on a Sony player was about the max you could take my theater room. Anything more than that did not allow much talking in the room and was uncomfortable to the wife. The Samsung is lower at that dial setting in terms of...

Ahh, thanks John that makes sense. I really am not impressed with it either (it sits idle in my rack waiting to be returned). I have looked at the complete list and I guess will be getting my hands on a DVD-1600 since the price relative to the score is unbeatable.

Unbelievable. Look at the new Secrets DVD player reviews at the address below. (www)hometheaterhifi.com/cgi-bin/shootout.cgi?function=search&articles=114

is up. I can't post a link because I am new but it's there (www)hometheaterhifi.com/cgi-bin/shootout.cgi?function=search&articles=114 I can't believe who took top honors.

I have found that one player will output sound at a lower level than another. Connected to the same AVR with the same optical cable one player is lower at my normal DVD listening position than the other. Dynamic compression on the AVR was kept the same.

Thanks for another good although slightly pricey :) suggestion. It's also not available locally. Keep those replies coming!! 80 views so far and only two people had any suggestion. Denon 1200 or 2200? Pioneer Dv-45a or 47ai? Video is the ULTIMATE concern here. Would only look at a DVD-a/SACD...

I am returning the HD-931 tomorrow after watching films all last week and this weekend. The black crush clearly shown by the THX video test on Episode 2 and Finding Nemo translated into poor dark scene performance for me. The obscenely grainy rendering of my favorite films and horrible dark...

Thank you for the reply Gabriel. I will try moving the seating position back. No there is no expanded black level option on this Tv. I have seen that on Elite and Denon players though. I just found out how to get into the service menu and have been advised to change gamma to 0. I also have them...

Hello everyone, I recently purchased a 56" Samsung DLP display and have been struggling to find a competent DVD player. Everything eventually shows some weakness on this thing. At first I thought it was the television but HDTV (hooked up via crappy cable company component cables) looks...
