    Toshiba 57HLX82 In New York

    After reading about it, I'd really like to see what a 1080p monitor's picture looks like. Anyone know of a store in New York City that has one on display? Not that I can afford it...but I just want to see how the current pinnacle of technology matches up. Joe

    Why so little focus on picture-tube HDTV sets?

    Thanks everyone for your input. I think, in retrospect, I may have written my question a little too hastily - and some of my wording was a little stronger than it needed to be. I'd like to first start by saying that - I think many plasmas and RPTVs have beautiful images in terms of...

    Dead Ringers - has anyone else had the no-sound problem?

    I rented Dead Ringers tonight - the non-Criterion version (haven't seen Criterion around for rental). When I got it home and plugged it into my DVD I got a perfect picture with absolutely no sound. At first I thought cables had been pulled out, the receiver was on the wrong setting, blah blah...
