    Pulp Fiction Special Edition dvd quality better than original dvd?

    I just watched my Pulp Fiction dvd for the first time on my 30" widescreen HDTV. It looked absolutely horrible. Picture quality sucks and people still looked stretched even though it is a widescreen dvd. My tv and dvd player are set up correctly to widescreen and every other dvd looks fine (i...

    Give me three good reasons to buy a Gamecube.

    See I look at it in a different light. They might seem like just stupid kiddie games but those kiddie games on Gamecube are more fun than half the "mature" games on any other system. Mario Kart is one of the most fun multiplayer games out there...period. Kiddie games seem dumb but I keep in mind...

    Give me three good reasons to buy a Gamecube.

    I would doubt they will drop the price again on the GC since it is already the same price as the gameboy sp. But one awsome reason I think to get a gamecube is the fact that the Gamecube is the only system with an officially licensed wireless controller that kicks butt. 2 batteries last over 100...

    MASTER BURN-IN THREAD: READ THIS FIRST! (And ask follow-ups here.)

    This question may have been addressed but I don't have time to read 9 pages of thread so I will ask. To my knowledge there is no possible way to screen burn an LCD projection tv. Now I work at Circuit City and a customer came in today saying his Sony kf50we610 has the channel 7(abc) logo burned...

I got the hdtv, w/ hd av pack and turned on 480p and 1080i in dashboard. my component inputs can do an interlaced signal so i can still see the dashboard. so then here's a question: If I am playing Enter the Matrix(which supports both 480P and 1080I)...will...

    480P from xbox?

    I just bought xbox and have rainbow six 3 which supports 480P. I told my xbox my tv will support 480P and 1080I in the dashboard. But how do I make sure I am running 480P during the game? With my PS2 I have to change to progressive inside the game settings. But in rainbow six I could not find...

    Dishnetwork losing Viacom channels....

    I am very glad the channels are back. Only gone for 36 hrs. I feel sorry for all the people who canceled service and paid money for another. I was tempted to do the same but I figured there would be no way these channels would be gone for long. It would hurt Dish Network too much. I am assuming...

    Dishnetwork losing Viacom channels....

    I am enraged by this black out as well. I just got this system installed last month for HD. Now i'm stuck in a year contract and I cannot get CBS since my antenna can't pick up their crappy signal here in IL. I cannot imagine this being a forever thing. As stated before it would not be in dish...

    Where can I find an Onkyo DV-M301 DVD changer?

    possible to convert 720p signal to 1080i from xbox?

    I am sure my tv does not do this. I just got dishnetwork HD installed and the HD box came configured in 720p out of the box and I got a double image that flashed green. I had to change the output to 1080i before I got a correct picture.
