    Home Theater Forum Review: THEATERTEK HTPC DVD SOFTWARE (UPDATED: Info on vers 1.5)

    Vince, Great review, I wish I had your knowledge. I am a novice when it comes to HTPC. I will be ordering a HTPC system which will include TT, so, based on some of your cons do you think I will experience some of these issues. I would not know how to change things and I certainly would not...

    Plasma or Widescreen HDTV Rear Proj??

    Let me try and clear a few things about Plasmas. 1. Black Level- The Panasonic and the Fuji is highly praised for their black levels. The current models are equal to CRTs as attested by P.Putman. The Panasonic is the clear winner in this category. 2. Burn-in- The same pre-cautions apply...

    Green Tint in Dark Areas on RPTV

    I am no expert, but my guess is the "Greyscale" needs calibrating. You don't say if it just appeared one day or not. Chances are it has been like this from day one. The set can be calibrated by a trained ISF Tech and this should fix it. Dave

    I must really be stupid because I just don't get adjusting black levels

    Thanks for the responses. So I guess I will use AVIA. And if I understand correctly if I change the APLs (LOW to HIGH) the Bright black bar should not change in brightness but remain the same in intensity. This will show that my unit will hold black, correct. And then I should use either the...
