I have a problem. My new Philips 34PW850H locks the screen mode (IE 4:3, widescren etc..) to widescreen for any 480p or 1080i source. This is fine for 1080i but I play XBOX games that run in 480p and not all of them have a widescreen mode. For the games that are not 16:9 I have to either deal...

So this device will take a 480p image and convert it 1080i? http://www.visual-matrix.com/MiniX_HDXC.htm

Anyone know an e-seller with a good price on this?

My tosh x81 has two settings for the Component inputs; DVD and DTV. When I'm playing a game in 480p mode should I have the setting on DTV? Is 480p a DTV signal? Or only 780p and 1080i. Thanks

Aren't 4:3 HDTV's a contradiction? I mean isn't an HDTV signal 16x9? Will these 4:3 sets that display 480p and up signals, have to show black bars when showing a true HDTV broadcast? Will some HDTV broadcass be 4:3? I'm confused....

When eyeballing the grayscale (I'll get it calibrated someday)is it safe to say that it is not perfect until all color temps (warm, medium, cool) look right? I seem to have a great picture in meduim, and cool but warm looks too blue (warm should have a red push right?). I've been adjusting the...

$300 IRS check to spend on myself. I'm down to two things an ISF Calibration of my Tosh tw40x81 set or a Progressive scan DVD player (JVC XV-S65GD http://www.bestbuy.com/detail.asp?e=...at=32&scat=244 ) Which would you choose?
