    LCD backlight bleed

    I bought a Samsung LN52B750 last summer, and for a while I thought it was a great TV. Then I moved into my new apartment and started noticing that the corners of the tv were bright during dark scenes or when just flipping channels etc. I then did some research and found that this apparently is...

    Testing for "cloudiness"?

    I moved about a week ago, and I've noticed since the move that the blacks on my Samsung LN52B750 on the sides appear greyish and what I think may be clouding - last night I was watching something and the screen went all black and it definitely looked like clouding or pictures I've seen online...

    Samsung DLPs T6176S or 61A750 opinions?

    My last TV I had for close to 8 years (old 65" Pioneer Elite) so I've been reading up on the newer technologies, and although LCD looks much better than it used to (PQ and pricewise), I still want to go slim DLP, and these are my top two choices right now. Basically what I've come down to is...

    Denon AVR-3803 display question?

    My roommate was playing with my receiver the other night (Denon AVR-3803), and did something so that now the display does not stay lit up. When you turn on the receiver, it stays lit for about 15 seconds, and then the display turns itself off. The receiver is still functioning fine, and the...

    Surge Protector Question....

    Thanks Marc! Actually there's a Radio Shack on my way home, I think I might just pick one up and see if it works for me, since it's so inexpensive.

    Surge Protector Question....

    From that Panamax link you provided: "The unit also has 2 female F connectors to protect a coax line. The unit contains a shielded SignalPerfect circuit, ensuring a clean, clear connection, and is HDTV ready. A coax cable is included. Clamping level is 0.7V, and insertion loss is

    Surge Protector Question....

    Hi, I bought a TrippLite surge protector for my main HT surge protector, where I run my TV, cable box, coax, etc. through. However, this particular surge protector has the undesirable effect of filtering out HD channels (I have an HD box from my cable company), and certain digital Pay Per View...

    TV Problem

    OK, as long as this sounds somewhat normal for a RPTV, then I can deal with it, I just wanted to make sure there was nothing major going on. Thanks Jack!

    TV Problem

    Hi, I have a 64 in Pioneer Elite 710 HD, and I noticed something a few weeks ago that I've never seen before. When watching "Tears from the Sun", during a scene where the screen was "very" dark/black, on the left edge of the screen there appeared to be some kind of discoloration that was...

    Dual Subwoofer Setup Question

    Ah ok, thanks! Actually these subwoofers are not the same brand, so I'll try setting them up similar to what you mentioned.:)

    Dual Subwoofer Setup Question

    If I wanted to add another subwoofer for the heck of it(I have two, one's just sitting around right now), what would be the best way to do it. My receiver is a Denon AVR-3803 and on the back there are white (L) and red (R) outputs for all the speakers - front, surround, etc. For the subwoofer...

    Newbie with HDTV Monitor

    I have a Pioneer Elite 710HD and when I first moved into my current house the analog cable was completely 100% UNWATCHABLE. I have long since switched to digital cable which is nice, but they screwed up by not replacing the splitters in my basement. Digital cable requires 1000 MHz splitters, so...
