Thanks for the great post! I've been wanting to try out Gmail since it was released but was never able to get an invite. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Van Garrett made some good points. Take the MSF course and get your motorcylce endorsement. Definitely budget for some gear, at the very least you will need a DOT/SNELL approved helmet. An armored jacket, gloves, and sturdy boots are all highly recommended. In your price range...

According to the Akai website (see link in original post) the CFT3090 does have a component video input.

Thanks Josh, I am anxious to check this set out for myself. I'm pretty sure it's going to be either the Akai or the Sony, and since I watch basically ZERO 4:3 programing, I am leaning towards the Akai. I basically want the biggest/best DVD picture for around $500. Anyone else have any opinions...

Hello all, It is time for a new television set. I finally got rid of my Akai CFT2791, which i hated. More info on that here. I had pretty much decided to replace it with the Sony KV-27FS100 (I am still in awe of my parents' 36" XBR) when I stumbled upon this. The Akai CFT3090, is advertised...

Jack- Thank you for clarifying. I appreciate your input. Anybody else out there have experience with this set? -Jesse

Jack- Do you think that it is a power supply issue and not some kind of automatic black level adjustment? In a previous thread (see link in initial post), other Akai owners were dealing with similar black level problems. There would be sort of a "flash" and black level would shift. That is...

Jack- Can you please explain what "overdriving the set" means? My viewing environment is usually almost completely dark when I'm watching movies (dorm room). I am aware that a properly calibrated set will appear a bit darker to the uninitiated. I had to explain this to my parents when I...

Hello all, I am having a serious problem with my Akai CFT2791. The set will change black level over time. The clearest example is when watching a 2.35:1 dvd in widescreen mode. In widescreen mode, the set "squeezes" to about a ratio of 1.85:1. So when watching a 2.35:1 movie, I have really...

Jonathan, I found the help section you were referring to and I also couldn't get the "P" button to work. I pressed it a bunch of times and couldn't find the bmp files anywhere. I also tried a different capture program (can't even remember what it's called, i already deleted it) and I got...

I tried a screencap program from downloads.com but it doesn't really work and the other programs are not free. Anyone know if it's possible to do it with InterVideo WinDVD? -Jesse

I could have sworn that I read a thread on how to do this a while back, but for the life of me I can't find it. Can somebody please post the link if it exists or just tell me how to do it? I have InterVideo WinDVD. Thanks. -Jesse

Too cool.:)

I just saw one of these commercials and I can think of a possible problem with this type of hose. If the hose is partially rolled up in it's reel, the part of the hose within the reel might be wound too tightly to allow water to expand this part of the hose, thereby restricting water flow. If...
