I suggest the Pioneer (what I have). I know of two cases personnally where the purchaser's of Mitsubishi wish they had gone Pioneer. My friend at the local high-end store had one thing to say about HDTV "There is Pioneer and then there is everything else". I know it was the most expensive, but...

I found a pushbutton switch box designed to fit into a standard house wiring box (like a lightswitch or wall plug box). My local "home theater installer for rich people" had them. Not a normal for sale item, but they let me have one for $35. I don't remember the brand - it came in a plain brown box

I just bought the Richard Gray Power Company unit (both as a line conditioner and surge protector). Although my wall power was not particularly dirty, I saw immediate and noticiable improvement on video, and some on audio as well. My HT system is all Pioneer Elite, for reference. I have one...

I did a lot of shopping and research and became convinced that I could not get an RPTV in the $1500-2000 price range that would fill me with regret every time I looked at. The Sony KP-51W??? (don't remember exact model) was an acceptable picture, but an ugly piece of furniture for about $2500. I...

I am no expert like some on this forum, but I have been shopping and have made my purchase and my major question was the same as yours. I ended up with RP. With display size being equal, a tube is always a lot more money than RP. The only downside to RP that I have found is that it is more...

I got my Pioneer Elite 53 at a local high-end dealer, being willing to pay for the service, the quality time they spent with me, and their help should anything go wrong - things that are not available at Fry's. I paid $5400. I have seen them used on ebay as low as $800 (of course the shipping is...

After much research, including generous information from this forum and checking into the LCD projector arena, I popped for a Pioneer Elite RP and I am very happy with it. I looked at many similar units in the $2000-3000 range, but there is a difference. Of course, the law of diminishing returns...

The HDTV I just bought has a DVI, so not all don't.

Have RPTV and an old normal TV with component video in. I would like to split my component out on DVD player to connect to both TV's (to save miles on the RPTV for kids movies, etc). I was thinking two component cables and three 2F/1M Y cables from Monster Cable. Would this degrade the...

General question from a newbie: First some background: Got a Sony KV27 and Pioneer DV434. Recently popped for some 5.1 sound: Pioneer Elite 35 reciever and a mix of Definitive and Paradigm speakers, and have gotten a taste of home theater. Want to get into a bigger screen for my movies...
