    Is it pointless to calibrate a non-HD RPTV?

    My brother just bought a new Samsung 52" RPTV, non-HD. I was going to buy him Video Essentials or AVIA for his birthday but wasn't sure if it would be pointless or not. I looked over his manual and there's no mention of any service menu adjustments. What are the benefits of using either VE...

    Ascend Acoustics

    I bought the HT package with sub from Ascend Acoustics in April and couldn't be happier. I'm not very good about describing or giving an analytical review, but all I can say is that they sound as good or better as anything I auditioned. They are great to work with, too. ------------------

    Any problems/concerns/opinions on Mits. 46" 16:9?

    I don't know the exact model number, but I know Mistubishi makes a 46" widescreen which would fit perfectly in my basement. I am in the market for an HDTV but it can't be over 50" due to size restrictions. Unfortunately there aren't a lot of 16:9's less than 50" so it limits my choices. I...
