    basic self calibration question

    I've recently purchased the Samsung 26" widescreen HDTV from Sears. It has two sets of Component Inputs, both capable of 480i, 480p and 1080i. I have a DVD player on one set of inputs and an HD cable box on the other. If I calibrate (to the best of my abilities) via Avia in the DVDP on CompIn1...

    1080i or Faroudja DVDP for 26" WS HD Monitor?

    I just bought the 26" Samsung widescreen HDTV from Sears (no payments, no interest until 3/05) to replace my 18yo Toshiba 26 incher which has been having more and more problems. This is my bedroom TV and the 26" WS is just the right size. So now I'm looking for a new progressive scan DVD player...

    what do I suggest for my folks - 13'x13', 80% CATV, 20% DVD/VHS

    New contruction. This 13 foot by 13 foot room is going to be their primary TV watching room & also serve as their home office (i.e.; small desk & PC area). Due to the size of the room, they very much want some sort of flat panel, altho a ceiling mounted projector and screen would work space...

    JVC DVDA players - FA95 vs SA75

    Is the only significant difference between these two models that the FA92 is a 7 disc changer and the SA75 is a single disc player? I'm looking for an affordable DVDA player that can also play VCD/SVCD and these two keep popping up in my searches. Thanks,

    Depreciation on used speakers?

    What is the depreciation on good used speakers these days? I've got a Boston Acoustics VR-12 Center Channel (VR12 Lynnfield, Dual 6.5" full-range, 4.5" midrange, 1" tweeter, 250 watts) that's in perfect condition (not even any noticable scratches) that I paid $400 for 18 months ago. I'm moving...

    Side surround bipoles - no wall!?

    Can bipoles be used without a wall immediately behind them? My new HT room will be completely open on the right hand side. Can I put a bipole on a speaker stand and still get decent sound? Thanks,

    Anyone have any experience with Canadel furniture?

    Link Removed I'm giving serious consideration to a mission style (close, not exact ... a real Stickley would be nearly $5000USD) table and six chairs. The furniture dealer is very reliable, my family has dealt with it for over 20 years, and he's impressed with this manufacturer. But before I...

    Some new info on upcoming Outlaw Model 950

    I thought that perhaps I should post this as a new topic since many folks may not be following the old http://www.hometheaterforum.com/uub/Forum14/HTML/038111.html I'm not 100% what this means, but it does sound interesting, so I thought I should share it. Later, ------------------ pat----...
