I'm looking to get a HDTV for console gaming only. Looking around a 42" DLP/LCD rear projection.. anyone HD game on these and have some experiences they can share? I know 480p games don't look super great but obviously I'd prefer them to be decent and I suspect 720p+ games should look good on...

I noticed an ad on HTF for Primer, released on DVD on April 19th. I wanted to encourage any HTF member looking for a unique independent, sci-fi film to check out Primer. Don't read much about it; it's better viewed knowing as little as possible. If you enjoy sci-fi or "discussion" films like...

I want to get around a 22-26" LCD flat panel HDTV to use for my Xbox/PS2/Gamecube.. but I've heard stories that these TVs aren't that good for gaming still - blurring, ghosting, not enough colors (huh?). Anyone use one of these smaller flat panels for HD gaming? Can you please post your...

Well, after the past week of buying my first HDTV, getting antennas for local station, and being sent the Hughes HTL-HD from DirecTV, the day came for the DirecTV installer to come and hook it all up so I could get DirecTV's wonderful set of HD channels. Couldn't wait for Discovery HD. Well...

Okay, my old faithful RCA 60" big screen that I've had for awhile (plus it survived a couple moves, including one cross country) has apparently died (I may get an estimate on it but I think it's dead). So it's time to make the leap to HDTV. I've read up on DLP, LCD, etc etc and tried to pull the...

Has anyone ever used a USB video capture device? It would mainly be for taking still shots of S-video feeds but obviously some video capture as well. Can someone recommend a good one please?

I'm considering playing at one of the online poker sites for fun, small change, just something to do. Is there a consensus best one? I know of ultimatebet.com and partypoker.com and I think pacificpoker.com. Anyone have any recommendations? Thanks!

Is there a website where people discuss good new car deals they're getting? This may sound out there. Just curious. Looking to get a new car and I'm not really that picky, just want a great deal and curious to see if there are some deals I haven't discovered yet. thx.

Forgive me.. I've had DirecTV for years but never tried to do this and now I can't find my receiver's manual. I made a custom channel list.. you know, it defaults to "Family" but I made another. Now I can't figure out how to change it to my edited list. Let's just call it Favorites. I...

Perhaps the wrong forum for this but figured it would fit in the After Hours Lounge also. Just curious if anyone lives in Jax, FL and views HDTV. I'm confused if it's supported here. I'd like to make the leap but obviously dont want to make the investment if all I can get is Direct TV's...

I'm thinking about getting an X-Arcade gaming cabinet (www.x-arcade.com/htm/cabinet.shtml) and have some questions for anyone who actually has one. Please reply to this message or pm me if you have one. Thanks!

I recall this was posted last week but taken down since the DVD's release date hadn't been announced. Now that it has (DVDfile.com), can the box art be reposted? thanks!

I was in CC yesterday and saw the Sony KF-50XBR800 LCD HD-TV and was impressed. My biggest home theater issue is space. I have a RCA 61" 4:3 CRT tv that's just huge (about 6-7 years old now). Couple that huge tv (huge depth too) with all my components in front and it's just a mess, really...

Two parties to go to this weekend and need some clever yet easy (ie: cheap) costume ideas. Stuff like "Bag of garbage" or something wacky. Anyone have experience in that area :)

If anyone watches Road Rules and saw Monday's episode (Sarah voted off, Raquel enters), question, particularly if you are music genius. When Raquel first arrived on the bus, there was a song playing (played through her first confessional too). It sounded like Orbital's Way Out but was...

I found out today that someone used my name and SSN (I suppose) to get a credit card and racked up a small chunk of change on. The creditors called me asking for their money :P I lost my wallet months back and thought I had everything covered but someone still managed to pull this scam...

I'm looking for some Cowboy Bebop figures/statues.. Here's an example, this pic was at the Bandai site but mentions nothing about these.. where to get them.. etc. Does anyone know of a particular site that might have some Bebop figures/accessories/collectibles etc. I've checked Ebay and...

I purchased the Cowboy Bebop Perfect Sessions box set without ever seeing an episode based on the glowing reviews of the show on here and a couple friends (plus reading about the series, I loved the concept). But unfortunately, 26 episodes just aint enough. Does anyone have recommendations of...

I'm seriously considering this TV based on the affordable prices being touted in this forum. Does anyone with this TV have a HDTV converter for Direct TV-HD satellite and other HDTV broadcasts? If so, which converter do you have/recommend? Links would be appreciated as well. I noticed most...

By all reports, Tom Tykwer's (director of Run Lola Run) The Princess and the Warrior should be in stores on DVD on January 29th. I haven't seen any press release, however, and am curious about the DVD's official specs. Anyone have any concrete knowledge? thanks! Doug

Miramax, not the most punctual DVD releaser, has promised SEs of the Three Colors trilogy for awhile now. Reports were they were supposed to come out last year but as you can see, nope. Anyone in the know have any info on them? thanks Doug

Has anyone here gotten a home equity line of credit? Just curious on anyone's general vibe. Here's what I'm considering: talking out a home equity line of credit to bridge the gap between the money I have and the remaining balance on my mortgage. That way I can pay off my mortgage then pay...
