    Samsung DLP Help - Black or Irregular Pixel on Screen

    Thanks for the reply. I am leaning towards calling and having them deliver a new one immediately. The pixel is tiny and my wife thinks I am crazy, but that is the first thing I look at whenever I watch it. My anger is probably compounded by the new theater seating I got that had a rip in one...

    Samsung DLP Help - Black or Irregular Pixel on Screen

    I just purchase a Samsung Tantus 46" model DLP. After a couple of days of viewing I noticed a blacked out pixel on the screen. The manual indicates there can be irregular pixels and quality control allows for these. That is a nice statement considering I just paid $3k+ for a TV! Has anyone else...

    New House Being Built - Running Speaker Wire Under Carpet That Hasn't Been Laid Yet.

    Thanks for the input. Actually a pretty simple solution came to me after I posted last night. I could just drill two small holes into the basement and run the wires under the first floor along the basement ceiling to where my surrounds are going to be and drill up through the floor. Not sure...

    New House Being Built - Running Speaker Wire Under Carpet That Hasn't Been Laid Yet.

    My wife and I are in the process of building a new house. The house will be done in about a month. They just finished drywalling this past week. I chose to not prewire in the walls of our family room because we have an unfinished basement that will be finished in a year or two (hopefully) and...
