    Plasma TV + Receiver combo advice please.

    ohhhh ok... my bad. Personally, I would recommend the pioneer elite 49tx. It has component video switching w/ upconversion plus MACC. I remebver reading that the Elite was superior to the Denon for component video switching because of some degradation issues... I am not 100% sure if this...

    Plasma TV + Receiver combo advice please.

    shouldnt you be looking to match a receiver with speakers rather than matching with a plasma screen?

    Is a top-notch calibration worth 28% of the cost of the display?

    Get Gregg Loewen :) I spent 38% of the TV's worth for calibration... it was a sony 24" flat for the bedroom and it was worth it

    Friend of mine is looking for a TV... here are the candidates: Sony 36XBR (4:3) Sony 40XBR (4:3) Panasonic 40" LCD projection (16:9) Sony 51" 16x9 projection (51HW I beleive) His viewing distance is 9 feet. He is worried about the viewing angle if he goes with the 51" Sony. With the...

    Sony XBR owners, I have a question for you

    I think I know exactly what is going on. Take the TV out of 16:9 enhanced. The DVD is probably already outputting 16:9 and then by having the TV set to 16:9 enhanced it is getting squeezed twice. When you take the TV out of 16:9 it should auto recognize the 16:9 from the DVD and look normal

    Mounting Paradigm Studio ADP ?

    I just ordered a pair of these today. What height should they be mounted at? And do the speakers come with drywall anchors? If yes, is there a better type of anchor to increase mounting stability?

    Need link for actual wattages for receivers with all channels driven.

    thanks for the link... I remember seeing someone post a link with a grid of about 40-50 receivers with manufacturers reported wattage and lab tested wattage with all channels driven... thats the link I was hoping for

    Sony intoduces new WEGA's @ 20" and 24" with component video

    David, I bouhgt the 24" and had it ISF calibrated. Geometry had ben fixed in the services menu and the TV automically plays dvd's in 16x9 squeeze mode. Very happy with the Tv, expecially post calibration... when I originally got it it was definitely too bright - now its near perfect
