My primary gripe about Hitachi has always been that it does not allow a calibrator - or a DIYer - to fine tune the convergence using material sent in to the set, like the AVIA circlehatch grid, or even more important for final pass, the AVIA resolution pattern. We have always been limited to...

Just wanted to let you know I will be there for CES and a couple of days after that also, in case you want me to do a cal for you while I am there. I will be glad to stay a few extra days if jobs there come up and the extra travel expenses are taken care of appropriately by those interested...

I bought an extra one of these for investment purposes, to sell to clients. However, no clients have appeared wanting it so far, and I really don't want to wait on moving it. They are very hot right now and have been disco'd recently. One just sold on ebay for over $300. I did sell another one...

Did anybody else catch this? On CSI: Miami last Monday night the pitch of the audio was significantly different on HD from what it was on SD. I know because I run both occasionally, to save my Panny's screen from screenburn. At the commercial I kick it to inner NTSC tuner signal by hitting...

This is a reprint from an answer to a question in another forum about a certain type of optics cleaner - one of the dry type, I believe - and whether it should be used on RPTVs: My optics cleaning technique is to suspend ALL the gritty particulates that have built up over the years in...

That's right. I took the plunge. Bought the Colorfacts system - whole meal deal/CF-6000, complete with spectroradiometer for ALL types of displays, not just CRT. Many of the current analyzers out there were state of the art when they were purchased, but now with the advent of fixed pixel...

As those of us who are now hopelessly hooked on HD can attest, the commercials on the OTA HD broadcasting channels are ALL in NTSC 4x3, allbeit broadcast in 1080i/720p. I have yet to see one that is not. Nor have I seen one that is a true HD-shot commercial, tho I am sure that is coming. That...

My first Mit RPTV, from around 6 years ago, was an NTSC-only VS-6017. I just worked on one of the same series the other night and discovered something I wish I'd known when I owned mine, before I traded it for this IBM 600e laptop I am typing this on. There's a register in User Menu, which...

The following are some comments I made recently at the SPot, in reply to some questions on this issue. I thought I'd share them here also. ALL the DLP RPTVs I have seen yet, including the ones I saw at CES in January, have optics that are made for the pricepoint, and show it. As such, they...

Screenburn is caused by fixed images. Any and all fixed images. Run a fullmotion, fullscreen videogame on your RPTV any time you want - but NOT Pong, or Home Shopping Club, or any other set of images which include fixed images in them. The flat plastic screen you are watching, on an RPTV, is...

For anyone with a Mit who has been concerned about red push in the color decoder, and the uncooperativeness of Mitsubishi to adequately address the situation, you will find that things are going critical at the Home Theater Spot Forum, Mitsubishi section. The Home Theater SPot, as some of you...

Anyone who has had their set calibrated by Dallas Sight and Sound should check back with them. On my second trip back to Texas, I did a cal on Dave Willingham's Mit 73907, whose TV had been ISF cal'd by DS&S, and it was HORRENDOUSLY off in its color scheme. This was apparent by eye to me...

This is reprinted from an Elite focussing thread, on another forum. It is critically important information, so I'm giving it its own post here. It is very important if doing optics cleaning or optical focussing, or the Duvetyne op, or any other reason to get into the optical cavity on an...
