Having read Guy Kuo's higher up in the thread, I was wondering the same thing (why a laptop wouldn't be a better choice). Now I see two more replys saying the same thing. The portable DVDs are smaller but the computers have bigger screen sizes (10" up to 15") so I would agree that money would...

Can someone tell me which system is better at displaying on a widescreen TV? Are games made in 4:3 or 16:9, or are there some games that are 4:3/16:9 switchable. I'm not just talking about stretching the picture to fit the 16:9 screen here but preserving the correct geometry. Thank you for...

A question for x-box/cube/ps2 comparison. Do any of them play in a 16:9 format for widescreen TVs. Which games? Thanks, Joe

The RCA/Proscan 38 inch are standard curved glass but the Sony 40 inch is flat. So if you want the movie-like appearance of a flat screen the Sony would be the way to go. I remember reading that the 4:3 Sony gives the equivalent 16:9 image of 36.6 diagonal so it is close to the 38" RCA/Proscan...

How do I get HDTV in Chicago area. I am 30 miles north currently getting good cable. I have Mits 65" HDTV but no current STB. Especially would be interested in if someone could tell me about OTA and if there is a discreet antenna available (I don't think rooftop antenna are allowed in my...

Sounds as though the direct view is preferred in small room situations. Anyone care to give a counter-point in favor of the small RPTV? How about the 38" RCA direct view, any experience with that or other 16:9 direct views?

Pronto to the rescue! I to disliked the click on and click off of the Sony Sub while I was watching the movie. Apparently when the Sub did not detect low base for a while it would turn off. Nice except you can hear it click off/on. I purchased an appliance X-10 module from Smarthome.com and...

I too recommend the Pronto. But you must know that you will have to spend some time to get it set up right. The software to do it is all available however on remotecentral.com as others have said. It took me about 8 hours on a Saturday to get it all done (programming in the remotes for DVD...
