    Hold my hand as I buy a new TV : )

    Thanks for the reply, Wade. I've been reading about this white line problem in the Toshibas and that, in addition to some other negatives, have me leaning more toward the Sony. Decisions, decisions... Anyone else find this process extremely stressful and a downright pain in the behind?

    Hold my hand as I buy a new TV : )

    Thanks for the reply, John. At least someone did. Silly me coming to a site named Home Theater Forum and asking questions related to that subject. ;) I needed these questions answered as quickly as possible because I have some big $ decisions to make in the next few days and I don't want to...

    Hold my hand as I buy a new TV : )

    Anyone?? I may have narrowed my options between the Sony KP-46WT500 and the Toshiba 46H83. Out of the two the Sony seems to get the better reviews. I see Toshiba also has a 46H84 model. Can anyone give me some insight to this set compared to the 83? I can't seem to find any reviews online.

    Hold my hand as I buy a new TV : )

    Here's my story: have had a 55" Mits since 2000. Nothing but problems. New problem arises recently and techs (from P.C. Richard & Son in case someone was thinking of buying from them) come this morning and basically tell me they are not going to honor my service contract because they don't see...

    Probable stupid question about TV service menu

    I was just "messing" around in my Mits service menu and since I know this voids any kind of warranty or service contract I was wondering if there is any kind of date stamp or something similar that would show I was in there. Just curious in case my TV has to go into the shop and the people that...

    DVD 480p input on Mitsubishi 55" 16X9 TV. Help!

    Forgive me in advance if this is a stupid question. Just got a new import DVD player today that properly converts PAL discs to NTSC. I hooked the player up to my TV using Monster component cables. My main goal in getting this new player was to replace my old Apex which, while region free, did...

    Black bars on my WIDESCREEN TV!?!

    It always astonishes me that people spend so much money on something and yet still have no clue as to what they are buying. They want to buy a WIDESCREEN TV to get rid of those "pesky black bars." Kind of makes you laugh, doesn't it?

    How much does an ISF calibration usually cost?

    And how long does is usually take to complete? I'm assuming its done in-house?

    ISF Calibration and Avia/Vide Essentials

    I plan on getting a new TV. Once I do I plan on getting it professionally calibrated as soon as possible. My question is should I still buy Avia or Video Essentials even after it has been calibrated? Will I need them?

    I may need a new TV. Help me decide!

    I know there's no "best brand." Perhaps I should have said "preferred brand." I know some people are partial to Mitsubishi and Toshiba. Since I've already had a Mits I kind of want to try something different. I just started browsing online for TV's and this caught my eye: Sony KP-46WT500. The...

    I may need a new TV. Help me decide!

    I have had a 55" Mits 16X9 set since 2000 and now it has burn in and the chances of the guns getting replaced seem slimmer and slimmer so I may be in the market soon to get a new set within the $2,000 - $2,500 range between 50" and 55". My question is which do I get? What's the best brand? I...

    Burn-in occurs from the guns, right?

    So if I replaced all 3 guns on my TV I wouldn't see the burn-in anymore, correct? Can anyone on here point me in the right direction to the cheapest place online to buy them (I have a Mits WS-55805)?

    MASTER BURN-IN THREAD: READ THIS FIRST! (And ask follow-ups here.)

    I think I have burn in. I have a Mitsubishi WS55805 Widescreen set. Had it since 8/00. When I was watching EPISODE II the other night I noticed something fishy on the left hand side of the screen in the beginning of the film during really bright scenes. The something fishy now looks like burn in...

    16X9 TV Standard picture viewing problem.

    What exactly do you mean by "equalizing the burn in"?

    16X9 TV Standard picture viewing problem.

    I have a Mitsubishi widescreen TV. When I am watching anamorphic discs the TV plays them back fine. But lately I have discovered a strange phenomenon when I have the TV set to regular standard mode (non anamorphic/widescreen). At certain times in standard mode one gray bar on one side of the...

    Where to buy replacement 16:9 TV screen shield?

    I have a 55 inch Mitsubishi widescreen tv and I need a replacement protective screen for the set. Mitsubishi calls it their "Diamond Shield." Can anyone here point me in the right direction to get a replacement one? Thanks in advance!
