Hello all, I'm getting confused doing research and need some input from people with more info than I have... I'm starting to look at upgrading SD to HD. I have DirecTV yet may be moving to Dish if that matters. I sit about 8 feet from the current TV. I can pull shades to make the room dark so...

Thanks for the info!

I have an A/V remodel/build-out for some conference rooms in a corporate setting. I was hoping people could point me to some A/V and/or HT installers that you may have worked with and are pleased with. Looking for someone to come in to a bare walls setting and install all A/V equipment and...

thanks!

I was wondering if it was ok to ask about AV installers and if so - where? Or is there a resource for people that have used professional services - where I can ask for recommendations. This build is more for a corporate environment - yet it will basically be made up of home theater hardware so...

Well thanks for the input. Looks like I have a bit more research to do. Will post back when I have more questions. :)

I am interested in purchasing a Panny PD50... I have read a lot of info here in the forums and decided that's probably what I need. I searched for answers to my queations, yet I guess I didnt really know what to search for. So I decided to post. I watch a lot of SD broadcasts recorded on a...

Sweet... Thanks for the rsponses guys - I really appreciate the info. Evan: I also have to manually set the enhanced 16:9 feature on my TV. It will definitely be worth it! to go through the "hassle" if it works! I am so looking forward to wathcing DVDs tonite... Wish I wasnt stuck at...

I tried 2 different Anamorphic DVDs - Terminator SE and Aliens SE - both had the problem of being squished when the 16:9 enhanced mode was set on the Sony TV. The Sony TV is 4:3. Do I have to set the DVD player prefs to 16:9 in order to use the 16:9 enhanced mode on the TV (I think I have it...

I am trying to use the 16:9 Enhanced mode on my Sony 27FS17. Every time I use it, the screen gets compressed pretty badly thus squishing the image on the screen making it look really bad. I read elsewhere that this could be caused by a setting on my DVD player where the DVD player tries to...

Well I got the KV-27FS17 from Sears. It was on sale for $619 which was a good price, yet I got a real bargain I think. I had them price match Sharper Digital's price of $575 (from Pricescan.com) and then I had a 10% coupon off for being new in the neighborhood. I bought a 3 year in home...

For those interested, the 32" Sony was just too large for my apartment and for what I needed. I see that now that I am all moved in. My eyes were too big for my apartment... I AM interested in the KV-27FS17 - 27" model. It has a lot of features and will fit nicely in my space. Features I...

Thanks for the info Mike. I am going to make good use of Photoshop tonite and see if I can get the price down to - oh - about $500 Joking. I won't hold my breath, yet I'll check out Pricescan and give it a shot at the local Sears and see what happens. I'll repost when I have time to get...

Could you please email me or post where you price matched for that price? Or will Sears price match any online retailer? I was under the impression that they only price matched certain online retailers. I use Video Essentials to fine tune my HT. Other people use another software application...

I totally agree. Thats why I will probably get a non flat screen Toshiba 32A61 or the 32AX60 depending on pricing. I will probably have to upgrade at least parts of my HT in a few years, so this tv will do fine for now - to last me 2 years or until HD is the standard... Thanks to everyone for...

Thanks for the info, Ed. It was really helpful. A flat screen would be great and I love the feature that Sony has with the line compression for anamorphic. Seems like it would be perfect for me. You have really sold me on the Sony, yet it seems a bit pricey. I understand the price increase...
