    Digital Outputs - DVD

    Ahhh..I see. It is clear to me now that I should have read your first post in this thread a little more closely :) Thanks for clarifying that for me. I guess the real solution to all our woes won't come until there's just one (and only one) digital cable running from our DVD players that...

    Mounting LARGE rear speakers.

    Hey everyone. I'm currently getting one of my basement rooms furnished into a dedicated home theatre (Link Removed and Link Removed). My speakers are all Sound Dyamics...RTS-11s for fronts, RTS-C2 for center and RTS-7s for surrounds. I'd like to mount my surround speakers (second from the...

    Digital Outputs - DVD

    Am I the only one here who doesn't think this matters one iota? The signals on these cables are DIGITAL. You get a perfect signal, or you get no signal, there aren't any in-betweens. As long as the cable used can handle the bandwidth of the bitstream, then it is fine. In my opinion, people...

    HDTV Calibration

    I had my Toshiba TW40X81 calibrated by Gregg Loewen for a great price. He was nice enough to write up a description of his work so my lowly website could get some traffic :) Here's my article: Link Removed Here's his description: Link Removed

    Getting an ISF for my TV, Boston Area Suggestions?

    I don't really know how long you should go between calibrations, but I do have a recommendation of a calibrator for you. The guy's name is Gregg Loewen, and he did my TW40X81 last weekend. It looks incredible. He's pretty close to you too, being from Maine. Here's a Link Removed to some of...

    A Thumbs Up For Gregg and Ned ! Gregg Calibrated my Mits 65 " RPTV!

    Speaking of getting close to 6500K, here's some pre and post-calibration stats from my Tosh TW40X81 that Gregg calibrated, complete with a nifty graph: Link Removed

    A Thumbs Up For Gregg and Ned ! Gregg Calibrated my Mits 65 " RPTV!

    Yes, I totally agree with Marc. I also watched Gregg calibrate the first T.V. (mine) and the last one. Truly a startling difference from the out-of-the-box experience. I highly recommend anyone who's anal about video quality (most of the people here, I'm sure :) to have this done. It's well...

    How do you wire your rack?

    My home theatre shares a wall with my laundry room. I'm planning to build an in-wall cabinet that will jut out about 2 feet and have a door on the back that will allow me to access all the cables and things. I can just walk over to my laundry room and do all my cabling, and have only the...

    Projection or HDTV?

    I have the (smaller) 40" sibling to the Toshiba 65H80. I found cable T.V., even digital cable, pretty much unwatchable. DVDs look great of course, but regular television I had to watch on my old set. It's disappointing in a way, when your TV is good enough to reveal limitations in the...

    What can I do with 13x13?

    I had a similar question, but I have a 14' x 20' room to play with. I have an *idea* of what I want, but I'm curious what the more experienced members here have to say. Everything is open to change in this room, I'm completely redoing it; from walls, to lighting to carpeting. My T.V., a...
