I have the Toshiba 32HFX72 direct view and when there is a red object/menu (anything with a uniform red field) displayed on the screen there are lines that go through the object like the picture is exhibiting some kind of noise. A friend has the same problem on his Hitachi RPTV. Red is the only...

Angel didn't air tonight in its normal time slot on ASN and there's no listing for it next week either. The Thursday showing on Space has an older episode listed. Did I miss it?

I found a review on a recently released dvd called Sasquatch that stars Lance Henrikson. It sounded interesting so I considered a blind purchase. Anyone see this movie and have a recommendation? Thanks a lot.

I have been waiting to watch this series for a while and picked up the box sets that have been released to date. I actually started the show in mid season 3 and hadn't seen the first 2 seasons at all. So, I just got season 3 and decided to start watching my sets and find that the 1st disc of...

I'm thinking of buying this set and I read the description on the Toshiba site. This is the web site's description of the vertical compression mode: "16:9 Mode (full 1080i Vertical Compression) allows the consumer to display a 16:9 HD source (full 1080i) on their 4:3 HD Compatible television...

I just bought this set and I have noticed that when using the squeeze on widescreen material, there is an area that extends from the right and left edges of the tube inwards for several inches (vertical bands that run the entire height of the screen and extend several inches from the sides of...

I have read posts on how to enter the service menu but no one has described how you navigate through the menu and change/save values. Can anyone elaborate on what buttons on the remote affect changes within the service menu? I'm expecting to pick up this set next week and I'm going to likely...

Not much to elaborate on. Just thinking of buying this set and wanted to be sure that it performs the raster squeeze on progressive sources. Some sets lock into full mode, which I want to avoid. Thanks a lot.

I just received and tried my copy of this dvd and the audio on both Dolby tracks (don't have a DTS decoder so I haven't tried that option) is very hollow sounding with echoing during dialogue. Has anyone noticed this? I know it's very unlikely but is it possible I got a bad copy? I'm not sure of...

The title says it all. I began watching it in Japanese with subs on but found them whizzing by the screen so fast I couldn't keep up (at least for the fist few minutes that I attempted it). I was forced, to my dismay, to watch the whole thing listening to that atrocious english dub. Probably why...

Just an observation I made. I had two 32 XBR-450's delivered and both had vertical, green bars running on the sides of the screen. Thinking I just got unlucky I decided to test a few out at various retail stores and was surprised to find that ALL of the 32 inch models had similar "bars" on them...

Just wondering how they look and if the stretch modes distort them a lot.

Are all HD programs displayed with bars on top/bottom and both sides?

It seems to me that upconverting progressive images to 540P would introduce artifacts in the picture. Why would the set not just display 480P and not do any conversion? Are all signals (including 480P) upconverted? Thanks. p.s I'm asking because I may buy a new toshiba soon.

I have regular cable and notice that more programs, like Angel and Enterprise, are being presented in widescreen format. If I were to get the regular analog cable feed of these programs on a widescreen set, how would they be displayed? Would they still show vertical bars on the sides as well as...

Just wondering if any of the work has been shown at any anime conventions and,if so, how the product looked. Also, how is animeigo's subtitles - do they do a good job with them?? Thanks a lot.

Looking for a site with competitive prices and good selection. Thanks a lot.

I have the Wega XBR-450 and both sides of the set show thin vertical stripes of off colored lines i.e. they show up as greenish on a white background. There is a region of these for a few inches in from the edge of the right hand side of the screen running the full vertical height. Moving images...

No text.

Could anyone give me the channel that these are located on if they are available? Thanks.

I'm looking to buy a new s-video cable for my Direct Tv system and was interested in either of these two cables. I've seen catcables mentioned favorably but saw no opinions on the s-video cable. There are, however, many positive reviews on the bettercables s-video cable. Anyone have a suggestion...

I have this set and there is a gradual bowing in the horizontal geometry that causes the right side of the screen to be 1/4 bigger than the left, which can be seen while the set displays letterbox material. This is small but VERY noticeable. I know there are adjustments for vertical geometry...

I thought about using my new t.v. as a computer monitor and wondered if it was a bad idea due to the fact that there may be static images on the screen for periods of time. Should I not use it for this purpose? Thanks.

I've tried lightly wetting a cloth and cleaning the screen but I've noticed it leaves streaks all over the screen and the only way to get them off is to take a dry cloth and rub more vigorously than I am comfortable doing. Is there a better way that is easier on the screen? Thanks.

I'm not happy with the lack of deepness of the color black on the screen and I wanted to disable dynamic color and picture. Any idea how to adjust these parameters? Any other tweaks to improve picture quality are welcome. Thanks.

I got a brand new Wega last week and I noticed a small scratch on the screen. It's probably 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch long and is probably not affecting the picture in the area. Still, it was delivered like this so I was wondering if there was a way to fix it or would they have to replace the...

Just going through some calibrations with my Wega and Avia disc and noticed the geometry and convergence patterns have lines called "safe action" area markers that they say help in setting image size and position. Are these lines supposed to be visible on all edges of a correctly adjusted...

There was a direct view 32XBR-450 that I was going to purchase and I asked the store workers to set it up for me so I could try it out in-store before I bought it. They did this at closing one night and I went in the next day to try it out and found it had been on for several hours (7 or so) at...

I've tested several Wegas and none of them show a uniformly covered grey field (easiest seen at 100 IRE level). The screen shows splotches of discoloration (i.e purple - green) in what is supposed to be a uniform field. The sets often also show a semi-circular darker pattern on the left and...
