    Was thinking of 1080p, but would 720 suffice? Opinions please! Also laminate screen?

    Well..what I mean is..They "dvd distribution companies,whomever they are" still give us degraded video sources, EVEN HD. So we still dont have a true copy of the original video. Also, look at your pc monitor. If you are using a high res flat panel or an older CRT you can get much higher res...

    What gaugewire is BEST??

    There have been many tests and debates about all this...You really need nothing larger than 16g. Tests have shown that if you go too large you actually end up losing signal. Plus many manufactures like to charge an arm and leg for their wire... Dont sweat it...

    You dont even get full res 1080p so why go 1080p right now? They degrade all video so until they give us the original full res copies...Its not worth messing with right now. I just bought a 720 projector a couple months ago and love it and im not even running hd dvds..Just normal dvds...

    Looking for used but not totally outdated

    OK...I found one just like a buddy of mine has. Its an Epson Powerlite 77C for about 500$ NEW. If you GOOGLE it and look, it has good reviews not only from big name sites, but also from its users. I know is old tech, but it should play my dvd's, and videogames just fine right? If I do go...

    So what makes SVS so great?

    If I were you I wouldnt spend more money just for HDMI. Thats just my opinion though. To me, its overrated and not even needed. And you can buy switchers "if im not mistaken"..I bought a new Pioneer ELITE vsx-52TX back in 05. It has everything but HDMI...I will have this receiver for AT LEAST...

    So what makes SVS so great?

    Thanks for all the replies folks. I think im gonna have to just buy another sub and maybe amp for my current boxes. I will have to measure and see if things will work with them. I wouldnt want to get the cheapest SVS as I would not like it if im wanting the best..lol...Im sure most of you...

    So what makes SVS so great?

    I wish someone here lived within an hour of me and offered to let me hear a SVS. I live in Henry Co. Tennessee, by the lake.....I have heard car systems that will blow your insides out....The way you guys talk this one speaker has that effect.
