For the past six weeks or so, I've been collecting sales rank data from Amazon.com to compare how both formats are doing. I've compared both the hardware and the software; I've decided to put this here for discussion as it seemed the most likely place. As a retailer, Amazon is large enough to...

If you find yourself watching a documentary on Australian wine simply because it is in HD, regardless of how interesting it may seem at first, then I would suggest you get a player. It may be a long time before a format "winner" is decided and I don't see hardware levels getting to the $150 or...

Don't think of this as a choice in a new format. Think of it as a replacement for your current DVD player that just happens to play HD-DVDs as well. Even if Blu-Ray is the winning format, this will be your DVD player in the future. (Well, that's how I suckered myself into it).

Dave>h: My understanding is that the Toshiba will only upscale via HDMI. You can get 1080i through a component hook-up on HD-DVDs without the Image Constraint Token (as far as I know, ICT is not enabled in any current release). For SD-DVDs, you will not get an upscaled image via component...

I did not notice it was made in Japan and at $80 opted to not get the extended warranty (I don't think it even lasted for 4 years).

In the US, New Line has the rights for Lord of the Rings distribution, right? Or am I missing something?

I've seen very poor support for both HD and Blu-Ray although HD was almost non-existent. At both BBs near here, the Toshiba was not even hooked up. It was relegated literally to the furthest corner of the store. However, they must be selling them because I picked up the last one and it had the...

I'll preface this with the obvious: Had there not been a format war, I'd have a next-gen player already. Hardware Price is a factor but not a limitation for the hardware. A $500 HD-DVD seems expensive to me, but it's not outrageous. The higher-end model and the Blu-Ray players, however...

Just thought I would chime in one last time. The problem was a transistor and two chips which needed to be replaced. Everything was done within the hour, and they even went into the service menu and did some spot alignment to make the picture the best it could be under the time and cost...

I've lived with this problem for a couple of weeks now and have some additional information and questions. The "Magic Focus" feature no longer fixes the convergence issue, but usually after 30-90 minutes the convergence will right itself automatically. I contacted Hitachi and the "authorized...

Putting on the (f)Ritz Over the past week, my Hitachi RPTV has been giving me some problems which seem to be becoming more serious and frequent, and are causing me concern. I wanted to run this by you guys to see what your opinions were. I've had the set for the past 3 years and have been...

Well, this was really odd. I spoke with Dell again today and everything was taken care of in about 20 minutes. I should get my camera in about 5-7 days. It's unlikely that I will ever use Dell again at this point, but I will be their customer for this purchase at least. I'll be writing a...

Not sure which is the best sub-forum for this, but I will talk about it here. I've never dealt with Dell before, and after today, I never will again. The abridged version: I ordered a new Canon digital camera yesterday. I get it today because I am planning on taking some photos for work...
