    Plasma TV + Receiver combo advice please.

    ohhhh ok... my bad. Personally, I would recommend the pioneer elite 49tx. It has component video switching w/ upconversion plus MACC. I remebver reading that the Elite was superior to the Denon for component video switching because of some degradation issues... I am not 100% sure if this...

    Is a top-notch calibration worth 28% of the cost of the display?

    Get Gregg Loewen :) I spent 38% of the TV's worth for calibration... it was a sony 24" flat for the bedroom and it was worth it

    Sony XBR owners, I have a question for you

    I think I know exactly what is going on. Take the TV out of 16:9 enhanced. The DVD is probably already outputting 16:9 and then by having the TV set to 16:9 enhanced it is getting squeezed twice. When you take the TV out of 16:9 it should auto recognize the 16:9 from the DVD and look normal

    Mounting Paradigm Studio ADP ?

    I just ordered a pair of these today. What height should they be mounted at? And do the speakers come with drywall anchors? If yes, is there a better type of anchor to increase mounting stability?

    Sony intoduces new WEGA's @ 20" and 24" with component video

    David, I bouhgt the 24" and had it ISF calibrated. Geometry had ben fixed in the services menu and the TV automically plays dvd's in 16x9 squeeze mode. Very happy with the Tv, expecially post calibration... when I originally got it it was definitely too bright - now its near perfect

    Pioneer 811S vs. Denon 1802

    thanks for the replies... He is also considering the JBL S312 speakers if that makes any difference... I am worried about that speaker being a power hog and was worried about headroom issues on both units.
