    What would you want? 20" Flat-screen or 27" Curved TV?

    My old 27" Mitsubishi dies on me. It was a hand-me-down. As a replacement present I received a 20" Samsung Dynaflat TXL2091 direct-view tv. It has S-video and Component inputs. However, I'm a little worried about the size. Is a 20" going to be big enough? It's my main viewing tv in my...

    Interlaced DVD players.

    I would like to know this too. I have a regular non-HDTV and need a good, but inexpensive, dvd player. Any thoughts? Thanks.

    FS: Sony DVP-S7700 DVD Player $375.

    A couple of things I forgot to mention... I plan to double box the dvd player with big-bubble wrap in one box with that box packed with peanuts or something else in a seperate box. It will ship insured as well. Secondly, I am not sure if it was assumed or not, but shipping is extra. I...

    FS: Sony DVP-S7700 DVD Player $375.

    Unit is in great shape. I still have the original remote. The player still has the 96/24 sticker on the front fold-down door. I do not have the original box or instructions. I am selling in order to fund a Playstation 2 purchase. I also have sinced moved up to a HTPC as my DVD player. Most...

    Would the Kenwood 507 be better than my Yamaha 995?

    Mike, I though about that, but I wasn't sure if I could get a good matching center speaker. Does that really matter all that much? What rears and center are you using or suggest? Thanks for all the replies guys. I think I will keep the Yamaha and save some money for a dvd player and/or...

    What am I doing wrong in selling my CRT projector?

    In case you have not done this, you might have better luck posting it at the AVS Forums. They seem to like CRT front projection setups a lot more. And it's a cool forum too. Good luck on your sale.

    Would the Kenwood 507 be better than my Yamaha 995?

    I have an old Yamaha RX-V995 that's about two years old. I never bought a 5.1 speaker setup, because I went back to living in a dorm before I could finish building a home setup. So I ended up using a pair of DCM 10" full-range floorstanders for the front. Well, I have sinced moved out and am...

    20-24in TV Recommendation

    Toshiba offers both a 20" & 24" in the 20AF41 and 24AF41. They are flat-screen and have both s-video and component inputs. I'm looking for one as well fpr my video game consoles. The cheapest I have found the 20" is $280 at J&R. The 24" ups the price a bit more to $400 or $450 I think...

    $500 to spend on a 32" tv or flat-screen 27"?

    Yeah, that was one thing I noticed when I looked at the Wega. It seemed "bigger" than my old 27" in terms of picture size. I've got some thinking to do. I still have not made up my mind. If I can get this thing going with a CRT projector then I will be happy with a regular 32" TV, but I...

    $500 to spend on a 32" tv or flat-screen 27"?

    Ok, I was all set to go with a Toshiba 32A41 for $499 at Best Buy. I am trying to get a used CRT projector for my main movie watching. However, that might not take place till November or December. Either way, I was going to get a television to use for regular NTSC viewing and sports. Back to...

    Acoustic Research Speakers

    I was looking at those AR9's too, but I had a question about the next model up. The AR5 I think. Over at AR's website they list the upper models as having powered subs built into them. Would it be worth it to go for a pair of AR5's. At only $300 more, that would cover the price of a seperate...

    Inexpensive Subwoofer

    So, is this rebate still there? I got the new flyer for today and they list the Sony again, but it's still advertised at $199. I am going to check Best Buy probably tomorrow afternoon, but I just wanted to see if anyone else had any recent luck with getting it cheaper than the $199 price tag...

    Inexpensive Subwoofer

    $12,000 budget, please help

    I would check into a used CRT projector with low hours and possibly use a HTPC (Home Theater PC) as the DVD player/scaler. You might want to check out the forums at AVS Forums . [Edited last by Richard Watt on September 26, 2001 at 05:58 PM]
