    Win an Onkyo TX-NR1030 9.2 channel Dolby Atmos AV Receiver

    Dolby Atmos as an upgrade would be fantastic compard to my current aging system. The optimized, dynamic rendering capabilites are a substantial improvement in sound quality and would make home theater a much more immersive, lifelike, dynamic experience.

    Hsu VTF-3 HO. Ugly, but great personality and cheap.

    After checking out Craig's sub ratings, I'm leanng towards purchasing the Hsu VTF-3 HO. It seems to be a great performer at a decent price. http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htf/...t=Hsu+VTF-3+HO I understand that the score factors in HT as well as music. My sub is going to be used for HT 99% of...

    Do I "vent" the LCD or enclose it?

    Power conditioning may help depending on the quality of your power and interference from other devices. Good non-mov surge protection is highly recommended. http://www.zerosurge.com/ http://www.brickwall.com/ http://www.surgex.com/

    Which do you prefer - and why? DLP, LCD, Plasma or Projection?

    Is that "Main Lobster" an imitation Maine lobster? :)

    Viewed Samsung DLP at CC--HL-S4266W,HL-S4676S--Very dim. Crappy contrast...

    Looks like the JVC model I listed doesn't have an adjustable iris for controlling the brightness level. Users in AVS forum have said that the "A" model is very bright due to this. Black levels not good. The "N" model has the technology, but of course at a much higher price. I checked...

    Steve--I'm a bit apprehensive going for the 4266 after what I saw--even if it may have been the lighting. The other screens looked fine though.?? Wish I could take it home to try it out first. After more researching(too much info...) I came across LCoS technology. The JVC-Model HD-52FA97...

    I'm avoiding plasmas right now. Thanks though. Would the Samsung HL-S5087W with 10,000:1 contrast and 1080p be a good purchase? (1549 free shippping) My TV watching is done with only a 40 watt lamp on 10' away mostly at night.

    I thought I had my DLP search narrowed down to these 2, but after seeing them at CC I was shocked how terrible they looked compared to the lesser brand LCD's I saw--Polaroid ect. The sales associate let me play with the settings for the 46" version, but I couldn't get it to look any brighter...

    Sony WEGA Trinitron randomly emitting high frequency noise...

    hehe. I appreciate your thoughts, but that is not what I am talking about. This noise is different than the usual high frequency noise one hears when a TV is on. I hear this sound as well with most TV's, but that doesn't bother me. Again, the noise I'm describing is not altered by a mere change...

    Sony WEGA Trinitron randomly emitting high frequency noise...

    This sound is not made all the time though. I can stop the sound for a time simply by slightly tilting back the top of the TV. Sometimes all it takes is a nudge to get it to stop. Head positioning isn't a factor in hearing this sound. Thanks----Scott
