    Best Buy Not Going to Carry 56"-65" Toshioba's Anymore

    Jason: I think the Best Buy you are describing is probably the Eastgate store, near Eastgate Mall (and a huge Biggs store). Does that ring a bell? If it does I will have to go out there because believe it or not that is the only Best Buy in the Greater Cincinnati area that I haven't been to...

    16:9 vs 4:3 Picture Quality?

    As I am new to this and want to educate myself as much as I can before I purchase my HDTV, is there any difference in picture quality between a 16:9 tv and a 4:3 tv? I know the widescreen dvd's would be "squeezed" on a 4:3 set, but is there really any difference in picture quality between the 2...

    Best Buy Not Going to Carry 56"-65" Toshioba's Anymore

    Jason: One last question (for now): You mentioned on an earlier post that Best Buy stocks different models according to region. With you being in Westerville, Ohio and myself in Cincinnati, Ohio and only a few hours between us, does that mean that we are in the same region? And therefore if...

    Toshiba 65H81 (or 80) vs Mitsubishi WS 65807 That is the Question?

    I was wandering if anyone could enlighten me as to the pros and cons of the Toshiba 65H81 (80) and the Mitsubishi WS 65807? What are people's experiences or what have people heard and what are their opinions on these 2 models. I kind of had my heart set on the Toshiba, but with my local...

    Best Buy Not Going to Carry 56"-65" Toshioba's Anymore

    Jason: I checked the Best Buy web site and there was no Pioneer 64" listed, only a 58". How much are they and do they actually have them on display in the store? Also, you said that the Toshiba 65H81 was now listed and due to arrive in mid-September. Does this mean that Best Buy will...

    Optical Audio Selector???

    Does anyone sell an optical audio selector with more than 4 outputs? I have bought the one from Radio Shack but like I mentioned, it has only 4 outputs from a 1 line input. With the probable addition of some new equiptment, I am definitely going to need more than 4 outputs for my receiver...

    Best Buy Not Going to Carry 56"-65" Toshioba's Anymore

    All right fellas. Here we go. Since Best Buy isn't going to carry the Toshiba 65H81, is there any other "local" electronics store or department store that will carry them? I really like the model but would like to stay away from the "internet stores" for no other reason then the possibilty of...

    Best Buy Not Going to Carry 56"-65" Toshioba's Anymore

    Just talked to 2 different guys at 2 different Best Buy's in the Cincinnati area. I was interested in purchasing the Toshiba 65H80 widescreen RPTV. Much to my dismay, they said they didn't have any in stock and weren't even going to carry the 56"-65" models anymore! I confirmed this at another...

    53-61" RPTV: which one should I buy?

    Paul: I too have that same question, except that I was looking for something around 65" and 16:9. I do watch a lot of Directv (and Directivo) satellite, while I only watch on the average of 1-2 DVD's a week. Any suggestions?

    I don't think I'll Buy a HD RPTV 16:9 Now! Help!!!

    When I was referring to 16:9, I was referring to widescreen format vs 4:3 ratio. I understand that as the screen gets bigger, the picture may not be as clear (my 10 year old 32" RCA has a better picture than my 50" 3 year-old Hitachi). What I assumed they were talking about when they said...

    I don't think I'll Buy a HD RPTV 16:9 Now! Help!!!

    After reading all the posts on this forum regarding HD RPTV 16:9 sets, you guys have scared the living s**t out of me! I am a relative novice at all this stuff, but I do know a little :). I was planning on purchasing either a Toshiba or Mitsubishi 65" HDTV RPTV with a 16:9 ratio until I read...

    New DVD Recorders and DVD-RW, DVD-RAM, and DVD-R?

    As I haven't been able to find much information on this subject because Panasonic and Pioneer won't release their "affordable" line of DVD Recorders until the Fall, I was hoping someone could answer a few questions for me. 1. What are the major differences between DVD-RW, DVD-R, and DVD-RAM as...

    Panasonic DVD Recorder???

    In reading the limited posts and news release on the new Panasonic DVD Recorder due in stores this Fall, I have one major question- Is the DVD Recorder similar to a VCR in that it basically has a built-in TV tuner to record a program or view a particular channel through PIP? Any comments or...
