    Just something I've always wondered, what is the line at the top of 2:35:1 films?

    I have a 4:3, 61 in Tv which has been ISF and I see the same white line between the picture and top black bar. Could this be some sort of down conversation caused by dvd players onto 4:3 ratio sets. David

    Annoying Dropout on Rose Red DVD

    I don't remember exactly when but I did have part of the video freeze for about 3 secs. It was a 4 inch line running horizontally across my 61 inch screen. I didn't experience any audio drop outs when this was happening. Since the rest of the dvd played fine I just chalked it up to possible...

    I did bring my radio shack SPL meter into my local theater and I measured normal dialog to be on average at 85db's and during heavy action scenes I was getting it spiking to 115db's. I was seating in the center about 1/2 way up. The readings kind of surprised me because the sound seemed normal...

    Please listen to my (long) tale of woe...and offer advice (Toshiba TV issue)

    Hi Galen, To answer your question the 40H80 is the new 2001 model that replaces the old 40x81. For some reason Toshiba is reusing old model numbers. This set has improved focusing and lens stripping amongst other minor improvements over the older model. I think you would be happy with this...
