You can get the JVC at beachcamera.com for $1500. Mine is being delivered this Friday. I read that it does benefit from ISF calibration, I will be having mine done, but for "only" $275. I've had it done on my previous set, and I...

I just purchased the HD-61FN97 for the amazing price of $1497 from BeachCamera.com. I'd been reading about it, and for that price, it was an easy decision. No sooner had I finished my order, I noticed on that retailer's website that...

How long until the debate between Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD? (grins) Can't wait to get my player later this week. Is it easy to do an A/B (/C?) comparison between DD, DD+ and DD TrueHD using the Toshiba player and a disc with all three...
