    My question is regarding a Blade Runner SE. Originally I was going to purchase the Director's Cut when I heard that a SE was being released.

    Quick Question on the JVC 500BX

    I know that some of the earlier JVC models that advertised progressive scan did not incorporate the 3:2 pulldown...seemed like you had to pay upwards of $450 for one with that feature (remember the Pioneer model 434). Does this new JVC 500BX model selling for around $179 have the 3:2 pulldown...

    Just bought my first Digital Set

    I posted a thread a few days ago regarding the Circuit City price of the Hitachi model 32UDX10S HDTV for $999.00. Today I went back and purchased the set and found out that they also offer a $50 in store gift card when you purchase a 32" or larger set. So this unexpected wind-fall paid for a...
