Well after looking around at the mounts I was considering (could never find a Peerless locally that I could actually hold) I found a decent price on a Chief PNR-UB on Amazon for under $470 shipped. I didn't want to pay that much for a mount, but after actually seeing it first hand it definitely...

Actually Mike, I just saw the Sanus mount and it is not cast aluminum. It is solid steel. I confirmed on the website it does say that it is steel, not aluminum. So far I've seen the Sanus VMAA26 and the Omnimount UCL-X and the ominimount is the nicest by far. I also got a chance to see the...

I still have not been able to check out either the Sanus or the Peerless (I'll probably see the Peerless tomorrow) But I got to see the Omnimount UCL X Dual-Arm Cantilever Wall Mount at Tweeter. Very hefty unit. But waaaay too expensive at Tweeter. They wanted almost $700 for it! I found a...

Actually Mike it would be around a $65 difference to go with the Peerless. Could you elaborate on "The Sanus unit is no where near as strudy" ? I mean, will the screen fall? Will the Sanus bend or break? If so, how can they claim that it will hold so many lbs? Also, I looked at the picture...

First, thanks for replying. I don't know, maybe it's me but I don't see an advantage to the price. The price of the Peerless that you recommended is $268, and the price for the Sanus is $269. Techonweb lists it as out of stock. The Pricegrabber site does have the Peerless for $243, but I feel...

I've been trying to research a decent articulating arm mount for my 50" Plasma (around 110 - 120 lbs) that is both good quality and as inexpensive as possible. I found 3 manufacturers that are often referred to in posts. Chief, their sister company Sanus, and Peerless. The Chief seems to...

In my small experience I can only tell you about what I've seen in my home. I purchased both the Vizio 47" LCD 1080p HDTV, and the Vizio 50" 720p plasma. I couldn't compare "apples to apples" but I did notice a sharper picture with the 1080p LCD. Some say you will not notice a difference between...

Ok, I got the 2 Vizios side by side. The 47" LCD 1080p GV47LF and the 50" Plasma 720p P50HDTV10A. The LCD has a Native Resolution of 1920x1080 and the Plasma is 1366x768. Now the reason I state the obvious is because I can actually see a difference in the picture quality at a distance of...

Ok, just got back from Sams and picked up the Vizio 50" Plasma with the tuner built in. Nice price at $1689. I'll let you know the comparison results as soon as I can find another person to help me get it up the stairs!

I just purchased a Vizio 47" LCD and I'm not really happy with the black levels on it. So since I've heard that there are 50" plasmas out there that are around the same price that I paid for the Vizio ($1649 at Costco) I was hoping to pick brains here and see what you have been impressed with in...

Which 1080i plasmas have you seen for $1700 at a B&M that you can recommend? I'd like to try and compare. (can they also do 720p?) Thanks.

Well in your mind 1080p is unnecessary, but I've heard that argument in the past for other technologies which became the de facto standard. So some of us might want to be ready for when broadcast 1080p comes around. At least we have 1080p for dvds right now. So if you can spot a 1080p Plasma...

Please enlighten us. I would like to see where I can get a 47" Plasma 1080p HDTV for $1650.00 US

Arthur, how about the top 65" (or largest reviewed) CRT RPTV? Thanks!

Rolando, it's not just you. In fact most of the LCD and Plasma TVs including the LCOS and ILA sets have problems which I consider to be unacceptable. The main one is that I enjoy viewing shows, sports, and movies with alot of action. The non-CRT sets can not keep up with the action because of...

Sorry for taking so long to reply. matt, It is supposed to be a new, in the box, TV. Just an older model. Still has the 1 Year Manufacturer warranty. Drew, I will probably get a projector when I make a home theater in the basement. But for my family room I wouldn't want a projector hanging...

I'm looking for anyone that can give me any advice on this model RPTV. Interested in Pros and Cons. I found a place that is selling the 2002 model for $1,499.00 and thought it might be a good choice for my first HDTV.

Richard, thanks for the enlightening and frustrating post. Frustrating because my planned area for the HT has 2 dimensions below 15' Here's a link to a basic plan for the basement, do you have any suggestions? Click on the picture for an image that looks little better...

Well Ron, I tried punching in your numbers into that spreadsheet I referenced earlier. It's kinda difficult with the sloping ceiling, but I tried it first with 17L x 9W x 8H and it came up with no problem frequencies! I then tried 17L x 9W x 6.5H and it only showed 3 problem frequencies...

Bob: I have not heard of this device before, I will look into it for possible future use. Terrence: I understand that I can't possible gleen all that there is to know about sound from what I read, but I can at the very least learn as much as I can a try to apply that knowledge to minimize...

You might also want to consider something on top of the soundboard (actually underneath) http://www.acousticalsolutions.com/page-core.htm Take a look at the AudioSeal Sound Barrier, they recommend that you weave this material in and out of your studs to add to your soundproofing (STC 27)...

Ron, I posted this before before on another thread but you might want to check this site out. http://www.guidetohometheater.com/shownews.cgi?388 I'm in the process of building a dedicated HT room in my basement and I started working with this spreadsheet to figure out what room dimensions I...

Please forgive a newbie for posting, but I have a question. Would the information on this site http://www.guidetohometheater.com/shownews.cgi?388 help with avoiding alot of what you're talking about in this thread? From what I understand on several of their articles, the lower frequencies...

I'm in the planning stages right now and I've found a spreadsheet that Stereophile Guide to Home Theater had on their web site that is supposed to help you in selecting room dimensions that are sonically correct. Here's the location of the sheet...
