I had the opportunity to see this film the other day. I found it to be a very ponderous film, with action mixed in. It reminded me alot of The Thin Red Line stylewise. The near black and white color palette was also an interesting choice. It was a well made film that I'm sure others will...
I was refering to the 2 disc Nixon DC snapper dvd that doesn't have dts.I compared the two,and the non dts has a slightly better picture.I haven't seen the theatrical cut dvd.
I would stick with your box set DC version.The newer collector's edition DC(which are identical discs)adds a dts track which drops the video rate even lower,and this transfer needs all the help it can get.
If you can get the 2 disc snapper version of Nixon,It drops the dts track which bumps up the video rate,which gives it slightly better picture quality.

I see what your saying.I guess in the price range your trying to stay in,there's not a whole lot of options.I've never personally heard the Samsung,so I can't vouch for it.But, I'm sure all of the comparably priced sets won't sound much different from one another.
Now just my personal opinion here,but i'd go with the Onkyo set-up personally(HTS-570).They have a great track record,and have good quality products.It also has two way speakers,and an 8 in. sub.It doesn't have a built in dvd player though like the Samsung,But I believe you said you were going...
If it seems to have a number of the features that you are looking for,go ahead and pick one up.It sounds like you pretty much know what your getting into.Hope you enjoy.
No,wattage isn't the only determining factor in how a set-up will sound,although it is important how clean the power is.Don't be fooled by what companies claim the power rating is.That is the max.power numbers,which you'll never use and the system is probably incapable of producing (any...
The sub is a 130 watt sub,but it's only a 6.5 inch driver.So,you may not be able to turn it too loud before it starts to distort the sound.You might also want to keep in mind that the Samsung set up only uses 1 full range driver per speaker.There are comparable set-ups with 2 way speakers and...
Encore is showing the 123 min.version.Even though their commercials say it's the 136 min.version.Too bad we can't see the 152 min. version :frowning: .
Hey Jeff.Yeah that's the sub on the far left.It basically handles the majority of the bass in the soundtrack,such as explosions etc.Whenever you see the term 5.1,6.1 etc,the .1 refers to the sub,which is a channel dedicated strictly for low frequencies.The better the sub,the more you can get...
No Problem.Yeah the set up was a bit more,but there is also the HTS-570 for about $250,although I understand if you wanted the smaller sized speaker to use with mounts. As I said,just make sure you get a progressive scan dvd player no matter which set-up you choose.As far as wires,if you want...
Hey there jeff,welcome to the board,and the wonderful world of home theater.I'll try and help you out with a few of your questions. 1.For your bedroom a 27" hdtv should be fine,especially since you said you'd be about four feet away. 2.You don't need to buy Monster brand speaker wire,any pure...
