    should I use DVI connection or Component on my Pioneer Elite TV?

    I have a quick question. I have a Pioneer Pro 730 Widescreen HD TV and a denon dvd player. When i hook up the dvi connector to the dvd player I cannot change the color settings, sharpness etc. The only one i can adjust is temperature, brightness and contrast. However if i use the component...

    I am moving and I need a new Big Screen, any recomendations?

    well thanks for the suggestions guys. I suppose i could increase the spending limit to about $3,000. I also really don't mind the 28" depth of the tv b/c it is going to be placed inside the wall where theres a cut out of 26" deep. So do you think a DLP would be a good choice for the money or...

    I am moving and I need a new Big Screen, any recomendations?

    Hi everyone. I am finally going to be moving into our first home and I need to upgrade my tv. I have a 46 inch Mits. HDTV but I think its too small to keep in the family room. The distance from the coach to the tv is going to be 20 feet. I am looking for a tv that has an outstanding picture...

    I just saw it last night and it was amazing. I was really suprised at how clean the picture looked and how awesome the sound was. Hopefully this will be an indication of how good the DVD release is going to turn out.

    My Xbox is having problems playing HALO

    Scratch that. It still freezes up in multiplayer mode. I've noticed that it only does it when I'm playing with more than two players.

    Whats up with the tackling in Madden?

    Ya i guess you guys would be right. I never thought of it that way.

    Whats up with the tackling in Madden?

    The tackling system is something that has always bothered me tremendously about the Madden series. Whenever someone runs the ball or the pass is caught, you have to have your player basically keep a 5-10 yard distance b/c if you try to tackle him by yourself, its nearly impossible. The Sega...

    My Xbox is having problems playing HALO

    I actually called tech support and the guy told me to erase the Halo file from my HD and see if that works. I tried it and so far its working. I still got to play some multiplayer mode to see if this works.

    My Xbox is having problems playing HALO

    I just bought Halo and just my luck, the game is having problems on my system. When I power up for the first time its fine but if I play split screen or Co-op mode, after the first game we play the screen freezes the next time I go to play again. Then the system resets and says that the disc is...

    Why is there a HUGE lack of HDTV & Custom Sndtrk. Support for XBOX?

    So Jesse you're telling me that a game that runs in 480P can have slowdowns during certain parts the game whereas compared to 480i there is no slowdowns? If this is true then it comes as news to me b/c I was not aware that the 480P resolution can affect performance. If you could clear this up...

    Why is there a HUGE lack of HDTV & Custom Sndtrk. Support for XBOX?

    Well it really comes down to the way it looks on my tv. If a game is not widescreen, everything looks stretched and funny on it. And the detail of the picture as well as the colors seem to be faded. Since I am real anal about picture quality this poses a great obstacle for me. Your definitely...

    Why is there a HUGE lack of HDTV & Custom Sndtrk. Support for XBOX?

    So if 1080i is nearly impossible to do then why even have it? Microsoft was bragging about ultra high resolutions for the Xbox but now it seems like thats far from it. Oh well. As far as the soundtrack issue goes, how hard is it for developers to implement this into the game? Some games...

    Why is there a HUGE lack of HDTV & Custom Sndtrk. Support for XBOX?

    I just do not understand this at all. How come there is a huge lack of 1080i games and a huge lack of custom soundtrack for xbox games??? I SOLEY decide on purchases if they have AT LEAST Widescreen support. I almost did not buy NBA Street 2 b/c on the box, HDTV was not checked off. Then someone...

    Just got an X-Box. Now I need some Games!

    Hey thanks for the quick reply guys. On another note, how come some of the bigger developers such as Capcom and Konami have yet to make some original games for the X-Box? The only company that is making games on the X Box that I am excited about is Rare.

    Just got an X-Box. Now I need some Games!

    Well I just traded in my gamecube for an XBox. I dont know but lately I have been very dissapointed in the games that the Gamecube and Xbox have been offering. I bought Metroid Prime and I thought it sucked. Now I am not a big fan of FPS. I actually think they are the worst way to play a game...

    *** Official "8 MILE" Discussion Thread

    I saw the movie on Wednesday and I am a big fan of his music but I thought the movie was pretty horrible. Nothing special AT ALL. Whoever said that Eminem is going to get an Oscar nomination must have been smoking crack before they saw it because there is NOTHING that stands out about his...

    X-Men SE with NEW footage.....

    X-Men was a average movie and I am amazed at how well it did do. First of all the action sequences in the film are purely GARBAGE! And lets not forget the laughable villains such as Toad. Watching him onscreen makes me laugh every time. And Mangeto's horendous costume was something else for...

    Got about $1000 to spend for front 3 speakers...

    adam, how would axiom's stack up next to the paradigm monitor 9's or even the monitor 11's? ( i can get the monitor 11's for the same price as the monitor 7's). Also how does the center perform when compared to the cc-370.

    Got about $1000 to spend for front 3 speakers...

    I am putting together a home theater system for my cousin and i need some help. I have a little under $1000 to spend on some floor standing speakers and a center channel. I would like to get something that looks nice with the grills off and performs very well for the price. I heard about the...

    LOTR disc(s): consumer backlash against multiple versions, _L.A. Times_.

    I completely agree with all of you. Especially what mike said about if New Line did in fact release the 4 disc edition, people would definitely complain about it being too pricey and that they just wanted the movie. J6P's of the world can blow me for all I care.

    Small living room, should i still buy an SVS?

    Hi everyone. After reading numerous posts about how much you guys love your SVS, I decided to maybe consider upgrading my 12" JBL powered sub. I am really not too happ with the sub i currently have b/c it just doesn't make me feel the bass at all and it sounds terrible with music. Would i hear a...

    EB: Trade 2 DVD's for Lord of the Rings

    you guys are lucky. the idiot at my local EB said that they are no longer doing the promotion since the movie came out last week. I told him to check his dates again b/c the movie doesn't hit the stores til the 6th of August. He checked and came back and told me that it did come out last week...

    Swingers/Made

    not to get anyone's panties in a bunch but i saw swingers and i thought to myself, "what a pile of fertilizer crap". Even i could have made a funnier film. if you want to see something really funny, go out and get "very bad things". that movie made me laugh so damn hard.

    I just upgraded my component cables...

    I have a mits. 46 inch widescreen tv and i have a Toshiba progressive scan dvd hooked up to it via monster video 3 component cables. The picture looked good to me using the monster cables and since i just have a modest setup, i really did not think i could improve the picture by upgrading the...

    Sony 51-HW40 & DVD Player - Suggestions needed!

    i dont know if anyone else mentioned this or not but the new mits. line has a color bar decoder adjuster that lets you basically adjust each of the 6 seperate colors on the color bar spectrum (red, green, blue, cyan, magenta and yellow). this feature alone puts mits. ahead of the competition by...
