It's been a long time since I have done much with my home theater. After moving 3 years ago I still have not hooked up my surround speakers because of placement. I've finally decided to get some in ceiling speakers for my surrounds,...

Garrett, the new TV is not a bad set, it is the same set as last years non-XBR model (HS510 but with an XBR name on it. The XBR910 and 960 had the Super Fine Pitch tube that gave the set incredible resolution. Sales were slow and Sony...

What was up with the 'new' sister? I don't remember ever seeing her before, did I just miss the one episode that they mentioned her?

Well, I have to disagree with one thing this 'editor' mentioned, and that is about Stern not breaking any new ground by going to Satellite. Yes, O&A went there first, but that is because they HAD to. They were fired and as far as...

Quote: Your last statement is slightly confusing...you say "the initial convergence with a fresh board is very frustrating, so there is a benefit to replacing the board itself". He didn't say, replacing the board, he said there is a...

I have stepped away from the display forums for a couple of years and man how things have changed quickly. Around 4 years ago I bought a 47" Panasonic HDTV RPTV and quickly fell in love with it. Around 2 years ago I bought a 34" Sony...

I'm helping out a friend who would like a 50" set in the LCD variety. I saw a circular from a local chain that has the Panny PT50LC14 for $1798, and the RCA 50" Scenium for the same price. I have not scene these sets in person. ...

Quote: so I'm partial to a nice 34" Sony XBR (Sony KD-34XBR960). Picture, that when calibrated correctly, is reference for video quality, has no viewing angle issues, minimal to no risk of burn-in, no convergence issues,...
