    Homicide Life on the Street - Megaset

    I feel your pain Richard, I'd love to get this set too...

    Dangerman

    Just finished watching the whole of the megaset - A real treat. If you enjoy the older Sean Connery Bonds, like From Russia With Love, this set will be a dream come true. I can't recommend it highly enough.

    Panasonic PT-AE700U

    It's all here: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showt...ht=700+filters The filter as recommended by the AVS forums is a 77mm B&W 81EF filter. It simply screws directly onto the front of the projector. The above thread also has some recommended settings, which is what I used. Really makes a...

    Panasonic PT-AE700U

    Well, I bought the AE700 two or three months ago. I also bought a filter as recommended on the AVS forums to improve contrast. It's a step up from the AE500, but not as big a step as I'd hoped - until I used the filter. Finally films like Se7en are actually ok to watch. For now I'm...

    USHE Press Release: ALFRED HITCHCOCK: THE MASTERPIECE COLLECTION

    I'm with you Dale - Although I'm moaning about the box, it's the discs that count. It's just a shame that this could have been as nice a box as the recent Warners noir/gangster sets. They are only a simple cardboard slipcase, then standard plastic cases with original cover art for each film...

    USHE Press Release: ALFRED HITCHCOCK: THE MASTERPIECE COLLECTION

    In fact, I've just tried - the box is the right size for 15 thin dvd cases! :angry:

    USHE Press Release: ALFRED HITCHCOCK: THE MASTERPIECE COLLECTION

    I've had box turn up at work today, so while I can't actually play the films, I've had a good look at the packaging... which is a dissapointment. The box is a padded fake velvet deal, which initially looks nice. You open one end of the box by pulling a ribbon. Once the box is opened, the...

    A Few Words About A few words about... Toy Story Redux

    I had a quick look at this disc last night, and, early on in the film, noticed a slight green line going down the right hand edge of the picture... I can only assume it's either my player or the projector - but I've not seen this before on any other discs. Straight after looking at Toy Story, I...

    Lost DVD news!

    Just started disc one of Lost - beware, because one of the trailers that plays before the main menu is for Lost Season two...... Don't know if spoilers are in it or not...I just closed my eyes and hummed!

    Thanks for the information folks - Looks like I'll be going this route.

    Panasonic PT-AE700U

    That's great news - Exactly what I wanted to hear! Have you personally encountered any dust blob problems, have Panasonic ironed this problem out for this generation? They plauge my AE500....

    Panasonic PT-AE700U

    Can anybody comment on the blacks on this projector... I currently have an AE500 and am less than happy with blacks and dust blobs.....don't talk to me about dust blobs!
