    30'' Wide Screen 16:9 HD (1080i) Digital TV

    I bought one of these sets last night but haven't had a chance to get any HD channels. I was hoping to get some ClearQAM stations from my local cable company but so far no luck. I live too far away from any TV stations to pick them up in HD over the airways. Digital cable channels look good...

    3:2 pulldown driving me nuts

    Very good explanation my friend. It's greatly appreciated. I guess that the progressive scan dvd player is the way to go. One question though. Since I haven't gotten the progressive DVD yet will my standard DVD automatically do this for me, or do I have to set somtthing up? When I hook my dvd...

    Need cheap Progressive scan DVD that plays DVD+/-R RW

    I got to scope out a JVC XV-N55SL today and was pretty impressed with it. It was $119 with a $20 MIR so I might try it. I was at sears also when I noticed a Sony DVP-NS425P. Looked great, appeared to have every feature I was interested in. Listed support for all types fo burned media and a...

    Need cheap Progressive scan DVD that plays DVD+/-R RW

    Thanks again for your reply's. I see where I can get the JVC n44 on amazon for $83 - $20 MIR. It appears to be the newer version of the 40. I also read a lot of good things about the Zenith 312? Playes everything under the sun apparently. But I'm still wondering about this 3:2 pulldown...

    3:2 pulldown driving me nuts

    Thanks for the info Jack. So the "Line Doubler" in my TV technically does the same thing as a progressive scan DVD player (albeit maybe not as well)? Is it safe to say that all progressive DVD players have a 3:2 pulldown? I've noticed that some mention it, while others don't. I'm looking at...

    3:2 pulldown driving me nuts

    This all seems so complicated. I bought an HDTV the other day and planned to buy a new progressive scan DVD to use with it. I currently have a non-progressive Panny A120. Just as I am doing some research and considering a purchase I am told by a friend that I might not need a progressive DVD in...

    Need cheap Progressive scan DVD that plays DVD+/-R RW

    I checked bestbuy and they only had the JVC N50BK for $110. I didn't see the 40. Just saw The Zenith DVB 312 at circuit city that lists just about every possible format (DVD, CD, CD-R/W, DVD-R, DVD-R/W, DVD+R/W, MP3, WMA, and JPEG), progressive scanning, and Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS...

    A couple Infocus X1 questions....

    I too would be interested in knowing more about infocus's evaluation program. One question about Projectors. Does your room need to be really dark in order to get such great performance? I've never seen one before, but I always kinda pictured people sitting around in dark rooms when they use...

    Need cheap Progressive scan DVD that plays DVD+/-R RW

    I'm in the market to replace my old Panny A-120U player that will only play DVD-R. I'd like one that is known for playing DVD+-R and DVD+-RW. I'm not worried about region hacks and things like that. I'd also like to know if this "3:2 pulldown" stuff should be a neccessity? I'm an admitted newbie...

    Newbie question about Progressive scan DVD vs regular

    I think the HD component input is 1080i and 480p. Does that make sense. Like I said I'm a newbie so be gentle.

    Zenith C27v22 HDTV questions

    I got a good deal on a Zenith C27V22 the other day at Circuit city. I had planned on just buying a 27" tau, but I ended up getting one of these for less than $349. I know it's apparently not the greatest, but it looked pretty good at the store. I don't have any HD programming yet, but I hope to...

    Newbie question about Progressive scan DVD vs regular

    I'm I correct to assume that a progressive scan DVD player is useless unless you have a digital TV? I just bought a digital TV (Zenith C27V22) but I'm still using a non-progressive scan DVD player (Panny A120U). I plan on buying a new DVD player, but for now should I hook up my panny to the HD...
