    Samsung LN3241D I likey! But I have questions

    oh, oh, oh...no, no, no...sorry there is the confusion, its not a 1080p monitor only 720p/1080i. I totally agree with you on that, from what I've seen/read/heard...I thought about buying the Westinghouse in December from Crutchfield for 1k solely because of 1080p then realized at 37" I would...

    Samsung LN3241D I likey! But I have questions

    Wow, 2 feet away! All I see from 2 feet away is pixels...believe me, this thing looks great from 8 feet away, and yes I can tell a HUUUUGGGEEE difference between HD-DVD/HDTV and regular dvd/cable. The litmus test was my wife, who was against me getting another tv...she even was wow'd (and I...

I'm going to pop in DVE sometime this week, but I noteiced that the contrast is set to 100 out of the box, is that what you guys usually run...

    Progessive scan

    I've been doing a lot of research into the realm of picture resolution and scan rates of TV's (probably not enough!) Now, I've been a computer geek for a long time and I've read alot of discussion about progressive scan and it still confuses me somewhat. Ok, is comparing 480p to 480i like...

    Mad Catz HDTV system selector

    Well actually I went to Best Buy today and bought the Mad Catz Universal $10 selector, I figured it should work...it looks ok, but I'm not a guru yet so I don't even know what I'm looking for (as far as picture degradation), but I can't tell a difference. Thanks for saving me a little money. Andy

    Mad Catz HDTV system selector

    I know this has been discussed here before, but has anyone found this device online anywhere? I've heard people have found it at Gamestop stores but I cannot find it anywhere!! I'm wondering if I should just go get a $20 radio shack RCA selector. Thanks for any help, Andy

    Any "upconverting" dvd players coming out?

    Does anyone know if there are any other "HDTV" dvd players coming out other than the Bravo or the Samsung HD931? I wasn't impressed that much with the Samsung and am taking it back and I was wondering if Sony or Pioneer or anyone for that matter had one coming out. I also would love to see more...

    should I buy a Panasonic PT-47WX53 ?

    Peter The HDTV material that I have seen thru my local cable company is outstanding! BUT, I am rather new at this too. I had the 47wx53 for about 2 weeks before my cable company hooked up the HDTV and for a week I only watched HDTV channels. We only have 6 here, but I watching PBS and...

    I've got a Panasonic 47wx53 that is almost a month old and I've been waiting to try any convergence with the service menu for at least a month(I've been doing ALOT of research on the forums), BUT I wrote down all of my service menu settings and then played with the horizontal width and...

When I am watching my cable tv input and turn on the vcr nothing happens, WITH the video and audio cables hooked up from the vcr to the cable box...and yes I've made sure that I was hooking up the...

    Dumb question (wrong forum?)

    Wow, well you won't hear me beeching about Best Buy for quite a while! I went there today and asked for my free chair and as I watched the clerk ring up my old ticket I saw $1499 magically go to $1399 on my new ticket, no questions asked! And the chair rang up at $349.99 so thanks for suggesting...
