    Nobody mentioned it yet? (The End of Plasma)

    Don't they call that trolling? Sorry - the comment in bold means we've reached the end of the road here . Let's agree to differ. Yes its HTF so I'll return to the software and leave you knowledgeable guys to the hardware

    Different settings ? Who would have thought it ? For the last time . The only opinion that matters is of the person watching it . If a person has a set where the adjustments don't match that of the calibration disc who really cares ? Only you. (Nice to see you are still unable to post without...

    Those posts are about as useful as the majority of what you've posted and I'll give them all the due consideration they deserve.

    I don't really want to continue this so please try not to reply to this . I'll try and make it clear. If there is a "standard" why don't sets come preset to it? Answer : because not all people like the same sort of images . People have personal preferences. I've said it before . Its my tv ...

    You can't say I'm wrong anymore than I can say you are wrong for voting Democrat ( if you did). I've already been through this . I have 50 years of watching tv and I know what I like to watch . I really could not care less about recommendations from so called experts . These experts are the same...

    I disagree totally. Images on a tv are down to personal preference 100%. I really don't give a hoot about something that eyes cannot tell me so I don't need a meter to tell me something that I cannot see. I got some calibration dvd's in the early days but apart from being able to set the audio...

    Yes but the only thing I'm interested in is what the picture looks like to me which is why I calibrate my own. When it comes to viewing tv images I have 50 years of my own experience so I value my own opinion over others. The reason sets have so many different settings is because images are...

    I don't expect those to be an accurate description of what I will be looking at . As with most reviews they are a guide and give someones personal opinion . A well informed opinion - but opinion nonetheless. I never let a review stop me from buying any release as there are so many reviews about...

    International Region B Inferno (1953) 3D August 10

    Seems bizarre to not sell it on Amazon - they could be losing sales in the thousands as the majority of people won't even know the disc exists. Why not just sell it on Amazon at a higher price that takes into account Amazons exorbitant fees? And with fees of just 10% or lower ebay would also be...

    The best set to review discs is the kind of set that most people will watch .A reviewer watching a movie on a screen type nobody will ever watch is a pointless review. If I read reviews I want to know what the disc will be like on my equipment - not on some kind of technosnob gear that few...

    Thanks for your opinion at last . I notice you say "LCD here" . Would that mean that sets sold in the UK might be different ? I'm not a gamer so that's not been an issue but I did see the motion issues on my earliest LCD set but usually only on credits of movies etc. I understand that sport...

    3D The Bubble (1966) (3D Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    Will this be listed on Amazon Canada . I'm in the UK and they use DHL so I can get items very quick in comparison to the US site . But Canada sometimes does not list certain titles - many Warner Archive and other MOD titles don't appear . If this appears on Amazon.ca I shall pre-order . The...

    International Region B Inferno (1953) 3D August 10

    Is there any way to buy this movie for less than £22. I'm in the UK and I can't find it on Amazon or anywhere else. I don't mind paying extra for certain titles and I expect this is worth it but I do like to see if I can break the £20 barrier which is usually my limit . Maybe a Panamint Buy One...

    The Avengers and The New Avengers OOP on DVD. The Saint and The Persuaders!?

    Yes I was going to say that I have read on other forums posts from people that love it . It just seems so out of place . All the other colour Riggs , while being fantasy based do have at least a small connection to reality in the ways people act and react , but with EPIC the villains are...

    3 posts and still nothing . Perhaps post when you have something worthwhile . Maybe your "expert" status could explain the phenomena of headaches while viewing plasma as it seems to be not uncommon.If not - anything useful is welcome

    And you call me a joke.Don't you mean "Oh oh - someone has dared disagree with my "expert" opinion and I don't have a response".Maybe because you have "HTF Reviewer" next to your name you think you should get some kind of [] respect from other members.2 posts you've put into this thread and...

    That may be true in a few cases but in general I don't think it holds up. Every tv I've ever bought has been auditioned in the room where I watch it . As the set I look at in the showroom is not the same unit that gets delivered to my door I reserve judgement until its installed. When I...

    Maybe have a look at newer models . You'll see that most new sets come with all the bells whistles and tricks switched on . All you need to do is switch them off . I immediately switch off every processing trick the Panasonic includes to get the purest picture . Motion issues are half a decade...

    Maybe if you or friends and family knew how to set it up you wouldn't have such problems. I've found the factory presets of all the Panasonic sets I've tried to be quite dreadful for exactly the reasons you say . But switch off the Frame Creation and Smooth Film options and the VT looking...

    Yeah right . Plasma is great. Oh hang on a minute . Every manufacturer out there is stopping making them because they're so great and so popular . Inevitably quality of images is down to personal preference . The fact that plasma is dead shows you where your preference sits . End of story

    Dear Warner Bros....Are You Punishing Us By Withholding Tom and Jerry Volume 2?

    Did nobody stand up and defend Disney ? It was a different time and attitudes were different just as they will be different to today in 20 years. Maybe your college can do a follow up video on the dangers of viewing unedited Looney Tunes ?

    Next Hanna-Barbera set?

    I've tried several times over the years to plug the gaps of the Warner set but each time I remember to record them they inevitably run ones already on dvd . I'm quite pleased to get 3 this time as I think I only recorded about 6 or 7 before they ended. I do wish they'd leave the ad breaks in...

    The Avengers and The New Avengers OOP on DVD. The Saint and The Persuaders!?

    Oh yes there are definitely a few episodes of TNA with padding but far from not sharing the quirky nature of the original they really are similar when compared with most of what British tv was making at the time . Not quite as outlandish as the 60's versions but they retain enough quirkiness...

    Fugitive comes to DVD in a 33 disc set on Nov. 1st 2011

    Still not heard from CBS . I might try tvSHOWsondvd in a few days as the email that does not work is the one that appears on their site when you do a search.

    The Avengers and The New Avengers OOP on DVD. The Saint and The Persuaders!?

    At the time I thought TNA was a poor shadow of the original . But today I much prefer most of TNA to the colour originals . The B&W Rigg remain the peak of the series for me but I find many of the colour Rigg to be too far removed from reality . Although the B&W Rigg were also they seem to...

    Next Hanna-Barbera set?

    Boomerang in the UK has been airing the New Scooby Doo Movies so I've transferred 3 of them to dvd which are not part of the 15 episode dvd collection . Clearance issues I think was the problem. The 3 featured Sonny & Cher , Sandy Duncan and Phyllis Diller. Who did the voices because Cher...

    I'm glad plasma is gone . I never liked the quality of the images so went for Panasonic LCD in 2008. I then got an LED in 2012 just as Panasonic released their first ever 3D sets under 42". I thought the LCD was good but the LED was even better. I decided to change the set to a larger screen...

    Dear Warner Bros....Are You Punishing Us By Withholding Tom and Jerry Volume 2?

    The funniest bit of the warning is the "It was wrong then and it's wrong now" . It clearly wasn't wrong then . In any event I really don't see why they worry about these blackface jokes . Maybe edit them from Cartoon Network broadcasts when kids are watching who won't know the reference but...
