The GD Region 0 version is out-of-print. What is the next best option? Any word if Miramax will be coming out with a Superbit or improved PQ version of Hero?
This season of QAF is much better than the last. They are dealing more with issues and relationships. Unfortunately, there is only 3 episodes left. Anyone know if this is the last season?
In Mpls, we have Time Warner cable and there is no extra monthly cost to convert to HD from Standard Digital, except an installation fee of $30 to replace the SD box with HD box. TWC has been offering HDNet and INHD for free in the month of Dec. However, as of Jan 2004, they were offered as a...
Hi, Many people are waiting for the new Panasonic Plasma EDTV since they come with DVI-HDPC input. Since it is an EDTV which only display up to 480p, why is there a need to have DVI-HDPC? In the future, HD programs received without DVI-HDPC will be downrez to 480i anyway, right? Today...
Thank you all for your input. Rich, you have sold me on getting a EDTV over a HDTV Plasma. My concern was with the HD broadcast programs, but since EDTV can get up to 90% of the picture quality of the HDTV, it may not be worthwhile to pay as much as twice for a HDTV. I am excited about...

Plasma EDTVs are dropping in prices and are becoming more affordable. However, I believe they are not able to display anything more than 480. With HD broadcasting becoming more available, would you buy a Plasma EDTV over a Plasma HDTV? Isn't there significant difference visibly watching HD...
For those who bought My Big Fat Greek Wedding DVD online with BB. Would you be able to get the free Dinner with Friends DVD from the BB store if you show the online receipt?
Hi, I am looking at replacing my old CD player which does not play home recorded CDs. How well does Panasonic CP72 play CDs, in comparison to Yamaha CDC506? I currently have a non-progressive DVD player, which ultimately needs to be upgraded for HDTV. Thus, I trying to decide if I should...
I believe all USA DVD players only play R1 DVDs, unless they are modified or region free players. Thus, they would not play R2 NTSC DVDs. Why doesn't MGM release a widescreen Moonstruck DVD in R1?
I read somewhere that the first release Moulin Rouge DVD has lip sync problems. Have you seen that happening to yours? Also, DVDSoon (Canadian) online retailer is selling the first release Moulin Rouge DVD for less than $12. It is a Region 1 version. Is there any difference with Canadian and...
Hi, Does anyone know what is the difference between the current version and the upcoming Moulin Rouge DVD to be released on Jan 14, 2003? Best Buy is listing it for $14.99, cheaper than the current version. Gary
Hi, I am surprise to see Mits rank so high. From the forums I had seen, Mits does not have good picture right out of the box, but requires ISF calibrations to achieve good picture. Is this not true? Gary
I understand that Mitsubishi, Toshiba, and Hitachi new 65" 16x9 RPTVs can be split into two modules for moving. Are these the only brands that have split cabinet designs? Are there any smaller (50-57")16x9 HD RPTVs that have split cabinet designs? I have a friend who needs a HD RPTV moved...
Dan,
In May, I was looking at HDTV with only one Component Video input, but I did not buy it. Now I am looking at the new TVs that have more than one CV input and would not need a switcher afterall. Thanks for asking:)
Gary
Mike,
Thanks for the feedback. Does this mean that the progressive scan should always be left on for the DVD player and it would override the TV internal line doubler when watching a DVD?
Could someone also comment on the memory stick feature in the new Sonys. Would you recommend using RPTV...
I am looking at 50-53" widescreen HD RPTV (Mits, Toshiba, Hitachi, or Sony). Since my viewing distance is about 6-7 feet, I was told anything bigger than 53" is not recommended. Do you agree? I had read in this forum that some new HD RPTV has such good line doublers that a progressive scan...
Brajesh, Thanks for the feedback. I understand that there is minimum resolution frequency that the switcher should have for optimal HD connection. I believe it is in the 30 MHz range. I could not find the specs on the JVC JX-S111 to determine it. Is the Wal-Mart switcher have the...
