    Pioneer vs Pioneer Elite?

    I don't know the specifications to compare each, but my 1140 elite came with a 2 year warranty as apposed to the 1 year for non elites. Side by side in the store I had a hard time finding the difference in picture but my price difference was minimal 6 months ago so I went with the elite. There...

    NCAA Football 2007 Season

    Looks like Notre Dame is attempting to plug that defensive hole by hiring the New York Jets defensive backs coach Corbin Brown. This should sit with Michigan fans because of his alumni status. Young energetic up and comer similar to Walker of UCLA.

    PS3 Anyone have one ?

    I got one to replace the PS2 and spend some time on my new plasma. I only tried Resistance Fall of Man so far, but this was an amazing visual and audio experience for me. I foresee fighting my 10 year old for time with this new toy!

    Opinion on Hitachi DS vs Pioneer Eliete plasma

    Bob, I have the elite 1140(50") model. This is a great TV! IMHO, the elites do one of the best jobs at sd. The colors pop out at you. You have a ton of tweakibility as well. I compare the 1140 to the 55" Hitachi and the picture in the elite was significantly better.

    NCAA Football 2007 Season

    Shane, I agree with you. My only regret is that the heisman is voted well before these kids meet the ultimate challenges in their respective bowl games. I wish they factored in the bowl game play with the vote. I was so bummed that USC layed an egg with UCLA, I think they would give tOSU a...

    NCAA Football 2007 Season

    Joseph, Being a huge ND fan my self, you seem to be a little too confident with the outcome of this game in my opinion. LSU finished as one of the strongest teams in the SEC, Their front 4 are big and fast much like two other teams that pounded us this year, Their QB will be a handful, and...

    At 50 inches, what did you buy and why?

    Room is 16X20. Went from 35" 10yr tube tv. Researched heavily for 3 months, Spent enough time at local stores to know all the employees by name, and am 100% happy with my decision! My top 3 were Panny 6ou, Samsung 5053, and Pioneer 1140 Elite. In stores the Elite followed by the Samsung, and...

    Native or Not; which resoultion?

    I just added the directv HR20-700s HD dvr to my Pioneer Elite 1140HD. I have some questions about the DVR settings with the tv. Should I use Native or not. My thought is to let the tv do all the work and not the dvr, but the drawback to this is when switching channels there is quite a delay...

    Can I get a 50in plasma for less then $3000?

    Scott, I had both Best Buy and Ultimate Electronics down to 2,499 on the Samsung 5053. Great looking tv and in the stores had a better picture than the higher priced panasonics. I went with a different tv altogether, but there is quite a thread over at avs forums regarding buzzing with the...

    Use 480P or 480I for new Pioneer 1140?

    I have an older Panny DVD-Audio/DVD Payer connected via component cables. Would it be better for the Pioneer to display either signal better. I know I could try each, but I am wondering if one would make more sense than the other. Sincerely,

    I have my new Elite 1140 on "Pure" mode right now with : contrast 26 brightness 0 color 0 tint 0 sharpness -2 for break in period. I want to get ISF calibration after 100-200 hrs. I have been over at AVS forums and read some posts with using CTI, Color Space, NR, and DRE. I am finding that...

    Best type of set for SD viewing...

    Lloydmon, I have Directv and just upgraded my 6yr sony 35" direct tube to an Elite 1140 50" plasma. All I can say is the picture depends on the source. Some stations look better (cartoon network), while my center ice hockey looks worse. The reason I bought the elite was supposedly handle sd...

    New Consumer Reports Ratings: Some Real Surprises!

    Thanks, I appreciate your answer. I will return again to re-evaluate the Panny. Do you prefer the 600 or the 60U and why. I have an excellent 5.1 system that I currently have with my 35" Sony non hd tv so speakers are not important to me. I know I can read hours over at AVS but I sometimes feel...

    New Consumer Reports Ratings: Some Real Surprises!

    Arthur, I am having a hard time seeing the improvement of the Panasonic TH-50PX60U over the Samsung S5053. I have seen them both next to each other at circuit City, BB Magnolia, and Ultimate Electronics(granted, I am at the limitation of the feed, tv settings, etc..... I have purchase many...

    New Consumer Reports Ratings: Some Real Surprises!

    "42 Inch Plasma slightly different: 1) Fujitsu P42XTA51US $4,500 = sound quality 2) HP PL4260N $1,700 3) Panasonic TH42PX60U $2,100 6) Samsung HP-S5053 $2,200" The Samsung S5053 is a 50" plasma, so is it a typo in the wrong category or the wrong model number. This is the set I am on the...

    Looking to Purchase 1080p set.

    After spending too many hours over at AVS forum, I have come to the conclusion that the 1080P will only benefit viewing from less than 6 feet. Is that correct? I am sitting on the 50" fence and feel the silver bezel on all the Panny's are quite ugly. The SamsungS5053 is stunning as well as the...

    "ND better bring their A game to Atlanta. GT is supposed to be tough this year, and you never really know what's going to happen on opening day." If they don't this will be a long year with Penn state, Michigan, Michigan State, and finally USC. I think Charlie will have a much improved...

    XM To Attract Subcribers With Lower Pricing

    I choose XM due to the lower monthly rate last year. All things considered, they were pretty equal to me when I chose. I originally got satellite radio for music, so Stern, NFL etc.. was not a factor. Now, I find myself switching from sports to O&A:laugh: I think the lower priced radios will...

    SkiFi2 or Roady XT?

    Kyle, I have the Skyfi2 and I love it. the main reason is the 1/2hour tivo like function. I do sales and make alot of stops throughout the day. It is really nice to press pause make a call, come back and finish what I was listening, especially for sports radio. I think the screen is bigger as...
