    HDTV Picture Quality

    Have you looked into DLP sets? You can get a much larger picture with DLP for a much lower price than a plasma set. I have a Mitsubishi WD-57734 DLP set. I think the picture is amazing. If you have a well lighted room the plasma will show a glare on the screen. The glare on DLP sets is very...

    dlp vs. lcd vs. plasma

    If that is true then that is incredible but I find it very hard to believe. I wonder if that only includes the amount of time the TV is actually on or the amount of hours that the TV will last whether it is on or off? If you watch your TV say 40 hours per week then that would equate to...

    dlp vs. lcd vs. plasma

    I went through this same scenario starting about a month ago. I first had my mind set on a plasma but after doing research and checking different ones out I decided to go with a Mitsubishi 57" DLP 1080P. My room has plenty of light so the plasma would not work for me. Also, for the money DLP...

    Polk R15s on sale again...

    I have been waiting for either the R30s or R50s in cherry to go on sale also but I gave in and bought the R30s in cherry on ebay for $175 shipped. I guess I should have waited. I called outpost about a month ago and the person that I talked with said he knew nothing about any of these going on...

    Syd Barrett Has Died at 60

    We "Wish You Were Here". He was a great musician who's career was cut way too short. I'm sure that mental illness is a terrible thing to have to go through. He should finally be able to rest in peace.

    Receiver Suggestion 1K budget, new technology

    Joe, I am considering upgrading from my Pioneer VSX-D908S. I have been very pleased with how it plays both movies and music but it appears to be dying on me. I have been researching different brands such as Denon and Yamaha but I think that I will stay with Pioneer. Personally I think Pioneer...

    People chewing in movies....

    Exactly! As a matter of fact I was trying to watch a movie at home on Saturday and my wife was eating potato chips and when she finished she rolled up the bag really loud for about ten seconds. :angry: That really irked me. When she left the room I got up and threw away the whole bag. Also...

    today's music, a rant really

    How true this is! Those are some great songs! Guess what song is number one today? And the answer is: Don’t Forget About Us by Mariah Carey I have never even heard this song but I do know that I don't like Mariah Carey. She doesn't even come close to any artists on the list above.

    today's music, a rant really

    I have to agree with all of the Pauls on this topic. Ironically there have been four people by the name of Paul that have commented on this topic. When it comes to music my preferences are limited to mostly classic rock, some pop, and some country. Although I am not a fan of classical, jazz...

    DDD 20% Off Sale?

    Exactly! This thread will last a long time with complaints about how long the site is taking and then how long it is taking to receive their dvds. Just remember when you order during this sale there is no guarantee that your items will be here by Christmas. The good thing about it is that they...

    Queen Question

    It's about the same person as Carly Simon's "Your So Vain" song. Just kidding. I think it is one of those songs, like "Your So Vain", that we are not supposed to know who it is about. That's what makes it so mysterious.
