    How good is the Sony XBR Grand WEGA Rear Projection 60"

    Well, that will depend if you plan on watching any 1080i HD programming. The Grand Wega only does 720P, I'm not even sure if it will down covert 1080i to 720p. Plus you have to replace that $200 light in it when it burns out. I have a Mits 55908, once I had it calibrated, nothing comes close to...

    ESPN-HD write Dish and ask for it!

    All, If you have DishNetwork service and a HD setup (6000, TV, etc), go to this link and write how you want ESPN-HD in April. I just spoke to a nice lady in tech support and she said that this is a great way to get Dish to carry it. I heard some rumors around it costing, but she mention that...

    Sonys KP-57WV700 opinions?

    Crew, Has anyone seen this new Sony? Any opinions on it? I have a Mits 55908 which I think is stunning, but it lacks all of the new digital connections (DVI and 1394 Firewire). I know about Mits "upgrade ability guarantee" but I'm not sure if Mits will go the DVI route being that all of their...

    how valuable is ISF calibration?

    Joe, Where did you get the black out shade? Also, does it keep 100% of the light from coming through? Lastly how much was it? I had a Mits 55809 that was calibrated the difference was night and day. The picture on DVDs and Dish Network’s HD feeds looked like you're looking through window. I'm...

    My new 40XBR800 - can this problem be ISF'd out of it?

    Guys, The "problem" you are discussing with the four modes looking different even with the picture settings the same is found in the Service Menu. Basically, it has settings that are in affect in addition to the regular menu. For example, Vivid is set to plus 5 (I think) for brightness, in...

    WEGA XBR and Mits 6030 progressive scan player

    Thanks guys, this helps a lot. Jack I'm at little confused as far as what is being done with Sony's 16:9 Enhance Mode. I figured that TV did not scan the picture at the top of the screen (the black bars), but where the picture starts at, therefore not "wasting" scan lines in the black area, (as...

    WEGA XBR and Mits 6030 progressive scan player

    All, I have a question about my XBR400WEGA (36in) and the Mits 6030 DVD player I picked up for my bedroom. I purchased a Mits 6030 progressive scan DVD player. Which is connected via component connections (input 5 on the back of the Sony). I set the Mits for 16:9 display, progressive output...

    FS: Sony 715 Progressive player

    Give me the total cost to ship to Greensburg, PA 15601. Also, is the factory warranty still good? Where did you purchase the player and how long ago? Let me know, I'm really interesting in picking up a progressive scan player for my bedroom and the WEGA 36 XBR. -Chill

    Problems with Pioneer Elite VSX-24TX

    Arthur, Thanks, yeah it would seem like I should stuck to my guns and went with a Denon or Onkyo. I will be returning the piece today and I will start looking for maybe a Onkyo 494 or Denon 1801-2. Thanks

    Is Onkyo not as good as Denon?

    Richard, Here are my two cents. I think both are great companies with incredible product lines. I started with the older Onkyo 787, and then moved up to the 898. I love it, my buddy coupled the 3802 with Martin Logans and it sounded great as well. I listened to Denon 3802 and the 2802 and...

    Problems with Pioneer Elite VSX-24TX

    Pioneer Elite VSX-24TX I recently returned from Florida with five speakers from my old prologic days (Infinity Video One center, two Infinity 425, and two Infinity 225). Since my HT in the living room is set (Onkyo 898, B&W 603S2 for fronts and B&W 602S2 for rears along with B&W Center...
