Several years ago when I first joined the forum, ISF calibration seemed like a great idea, particularly with RPTVs that had 3 CRTS that could use aligning and such. But now that the sets are basically fixed sheets of LCD, is it still worth the $400 or so to hire a pro?

Hi guys. Long time no see. Recently upgraded my system when I moved, and my new 910 is "squishing" my Wii display... My Comcast DVR via componet and Xbox360 via HDMI pass through fine in the proper aspect ratio (I leave the TV in standard mode), but the Wii is being horizontally squished...

this is just lovely. my toshiba 16 x9 set just started flaking out on me. first it just turned green, solid green. reset it, and then there were all sorts of weird wavy lines in r, g, and b. turned it off for a while. came on super super bright and darn near white. reset it...

Hi all- I hope no one views this as an ad or spammy or anything; i'm an active member here, and I've worked on something recently, and I'm curious to see what people think about my methods. OFAYS, an independant music project from New York, was looking for a way to distribute their debut album...

Picked one up last night, using it for my: TV- tosh 40H80 DVD - jvc x65 Sat/Pvr- Dish 501 Receiver- HK AVR 110 I love it! I am 95 percent done with programming- I'm now in the testing/usability assessment phase. Since I'm an interactive lead at work, I decided to treat this like I...

I'm prefacing this by saying i'm totally platform agnostic- Currently I've got a cube and PS2 hooked up to my HT, xbox is coming. My big question- is there a site that reviews and compares the same game across mulitple consoles? Specifically, I'm torn between ssx tricky for ps2 and the...

can't type big review...barely coherant... 5 hours in line at walmart, played luigi and starwars a bit but spent several good late night hours with monkey ball. oh boy. for such a "simple" game, this thing is DEEP. what sweet, sweet pure gameplay. full review soon, after i nap. my eyes and...

from tendobox.com... GameCube Not Selling Early Posted On : 11.13.01 Contrary to some online rumors, the Nintendo GameCube is still set for Sunday, November 18th and not a day sooner. After calling around to retailers across the U.S. and speaking with managers, the unanimous reply was that...

I will take some better ones showing all speaker placements to scale, as well as including a top down diagram if anyone has any room placement suggestions. I need to build a damn HT site, but: a. typing 95 dvds into profiler seems tedious. cue cat me please :) b. I build websites all damn...

as a general rule, whether you preordered or are going to camp, I think it's safe to say this: If you want to be sure to get one at launch (perhaps before xmas) at all, you MUST get one on launch day. It was tough to nab a PS2 on launch day, but if you didn't get one then..... you were way...

I enjoyed Ron's peek at Planet of the Apes, as well as a lot of the others, such as Legally Blonde. But I've only been reading here since around july... the press release for glitter made me think of this, but has Ron ever just ripped a disk or movie a new asshole? I would like to see a couple...

I was pleased to see that this was $20 less than the price advertised in the catalog- which i thought was already affrodable. It's pretty damn tall (8 shelves), and each shelf holds 37 regular sized disks (296 total). As far as style, I think it's minimal appearance is quite sexy- a single...

Just received my Tosh 40H80 and hooked up my JVC XV-S65GD with AR componet cables. With the TV in Full, and the player set to 16x9, and progressive switched to "auto" and "film", I still can't get the progressive scan light to light up on the front of the dvd player (green for film, red for...

My 40H80 shipped yesterday! Does anyone know where I can find the dimensions of the BOX the set will arrive in? I am curious to know if I am going to need to use the front or back stairs, and if I will need to unpack the TV on the ground- I don't have a garage, and chiocago isn't known for...

since it could technically be used as a componet, i figured this would be a good area to post; if not please move this thread to a better home.... http://www.apple.com/ipod/ Apple's really raised the bar as far as integration goes. 5 gigs of tunes, automatically synced with iTunes over...

Hey guys- I was just hoping I could double check my strategy with some enthusiests. Comments are more than welcome. Currently: display: 19 inch Samsung TV DVD: PS2 with composite cables reciever: Harman Kardon AVR 110 speakers: harman HTIB satelite: Dish 501 PVR Upgrades currently being...

I've currently got a dish PVR and I am about to buy an HDTV. With the dish HD reciever, will I just be able to get HBO, SHOW, and PPV? Will my local affiliate be in HD? Are there national HD feeds on the Dish? Or will I need to get a seperate HD set top box to get off the air transmission...

Picking up a new set (most likely a 40H80 from onecall) soon, and I was wondering if anyone could reccomend an ISF tech in the chicago-land area (i'm in chi-town proper, not a burb). Rough estimates of what they charge would be appreicated too.

Toshiba TW40H80 16x9 set- it is not HD or Progressive capable, and it's a year and a half old, but the guy appears to have taken good care of it and he's local. I would RATHER have the newer 40H80 with better viewing modes and HD support, but the GF will not let me spend $1800 on a TV, and I...

I've taken great care of all my sytems (and I've had quite a few); I'm moving to a 16 x 9 based system and gearing up for a new round of console purchases. System contains: 2 sega branded controllers, 3 sega branded VMUs, the sega microphone, Official Sega carrying case, 2 10 foot...

http://www.radioshack.com/searchsku.asp?find=42-2480 it's $10 for 50 feet. I need a 40 foot run to get this around a double doorway, and the cheapest "real" sub cable I could get built was $90 (!!?). If this is no good, does anyone else have any suggestions about the best way to cheaply get...

rush hour 2 made me think of NewLine and the handling of the infinifilm brand. don't get me wrong, i love the infinifilm line, but I hope when Peter Jackson's epic comes out, they give it the classier platinum treatment that Boogie Nights and Magnolia got. I hope we get three paper case double...

I was pissed when BB ran out of simpson's, so I ordered a copy of it, and a used copy of JFK (for $12) from Digital Eyes tuesday night- package showed up via airborne today. I will probably now be purchasing ALL of my USED catalog DVDs from them, and perhaps some New New Releases that best buy...

(hope in advance no one thinks i'm asking about porn- figure if it can hit the festival circuit and play at the art house, it's fair game) There is an R2 version of this indy-documentary/flick available, but I cannot find any info regarding an upcoming R1 release. Also, while we're talking...
