    Toshiba 65HDX82 - cleaning and upgrade options

    I still have my Toshiba 65HDX82 RPTV. It has served me well and is still going strong. I did a lot of research on here before I bought it many years ago. I guess that was around 9 years ago. I had an ISF calibration 7 years ago. Then three years ago one of the tubes had to be replaced. I guess a...

    Toshiba 65HDX82 warm-up issue

    I have the EXACT problem and the exact tv. I am going to hopefully have someone here on Friday to look at it. I would say there is a 90% chance it is the hyper module. The caps on it are going bad. This is a known issue that is affecting many Toshibas. Send me an email at [email protected]...

    CRT vs LCD

    My crt still looks great. It also looks much better than a lcd or dllp when viewing cable channels. Although lcds and dlps are brighter and are not as dependent on calibration. Also they are lighter.

    4-year-old CRT RPTV Better PIC than DLP/LCos/LCD?

    Greg Patterson, I have a Toshiba 65hdx82. If you know a dlp or a lcd that rivals it is picture quality please let me know so I can go look at one. I probably would buy a DLP today because there is less problems in the future. Although the color wheel just went out on my friend's samsung...

    HTF REVIEW: Star Wars - Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

    That is true and not true. I thought the LFE of episodes 1 and 2 was impressive. Episode 3 just does not have it for me. Also the sound level is much lower than many other movies that I have.

    HTF REVIEW: Star Wars - Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

    I thought the sound level on the movie was low and the amount of bass compared to other movies like Lord of the Rings in DTS was low. I thought there was something wrong with my system until I put in the LOTR movie. I have twin SVS 20-39 subs too. It just seems recorded lower or something.

    Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)

    One could argue that Anakin did not know that Sideous would kill Mace in his weakened state. Also, Anakin really went off the deep end when he decided to kill all of the children to save Padma. I lost sympathy for him then. Someone brought up an interesting point to me. If the Sith could...

    Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)

    Do you think Mace could have really defeated the emperor? Or do you think it was all part of the plot to bring Anakin over to his side?

    Need help adjusting the color on my rear projection toshiba

    I had to have the board in the front of my Toshiba 65hdx82 replaced. It is the one with the six knobs that control the amount of each color. The picture is close but not quite as good as it was. At first there was a little too much blue so I turned the top left knob to the right. This helped. Is...

    Hsu Research STF-2 Subwoofer Test & Review

    I really want another svs. I think three is a good number..... Although now the HSU STF-2 is on sale locally for $199. If it is in stock when I check today it might be too good to pass up. This one is going to go in a bedroom on my computer for games and the kids to watch movies on.

    SVS cs+ 20-39 enough?

    I have the same amp and sub but I have two of those subs in a room that is 20x18 with 12' ceilings. The only real way to tell is to hook it up and try it.
