I have wondered about this myself... ... I am sorting through the various issues related to building a home addition which will include a dedicated home theater - so I have NOT purchased or set up a front projector for home theater use. However, I have used a business projector on numerous...

I took a brutally simple approach... i set up a baby fence around the TV but - leaned it so it is not too high as to block the screen and yet it forces the youngest kids to stay a couple of feet away. It is not clean or pretty - but it has been effective. And just two weeks ago i took it down as...

LOL!!!~ :laugh:

I think the weak signal may be a contributing factor, however... .... I would speculate that some would depend on whether yout HDTV is converting the signal to match the screen setting. THe Sony I saw with the pixelation noise definately had something wrong with it. It was running a HD DVD...

JonZ... Your comments are insired and insightful... I have found myself gradually expanding my horizons on various "fronts" - not by automatic acceptance of various remarks and suggestions by via "guided" investigation and careful consideration. EG, a local friend of 38 years (yeah - we go...

I am honestly curious here... You're saying you "can't stand LCD" and prefer RP from a Sony unit. Well... I generally like the LCD and Plasmas over the most RP units but own a RP unit using a 3 panel LCD projection arrangement. I went with an economical solution when I choose the Epson 3LCD...

I just hooked up a Monster Power 5100 that I got on eBay. I tried an A/B comparison with my friends' stereo (audio only). We cranked it up on idle to see if we could hear any background noise with or without it... we could not hear anything either way. THEN we tried to induce noise y pluggin in...
