... hmm, wonder which one's for me vs. my wife.
btw, when i was reading through the thread and hit the statement ...
definitely Sasha for gold in '06. she is by far the most artistic, graceful, fluid skater out there (reminds me of a dancer) ... and with her athletic ability, she's going to become awsome!
i just picked up the 55859 for a few bucks more (from a local retailer) which i thought was a good deal ... so this sounds like a great deal! btw, i am absolutely loving the integrated HDTV ...
... i'll second this question. i just bought a RP HDTV and am using XBOX w/ it.
i'm being very careful not to pause the image on the screen, but are there issues that can occur just because your using the video game through the projection tv?
i've got another option. i can switch the...
... i didn't mention in my first post. i did test an Indoor HD Antenna from Radio Shack (was about $80). i used a long coax cable to run it abound my house. there was one spot that it worked well (second story wall closest to Chicago) ... but i wasn't going to leave it in that location. you...
it may have been a bit of overkill, but ... i went w/ the radio shack 160" rooftop antenna (currently 50% off) and installed it in my attic. i'm 40-ish miles from chicago and over the last 3 weeks have received an excellent digital/HD signal. i had to run 100 feet of cable so i bought 2 50...
as a Chicago neighbor, here's a couple of options:
. i ended up buying a Mits 55859 from Barrett's after negotiating between Tweeter / Barret's. there was a suprising amount of 'give' in their initial tag'd prices. by the way, i'm completely hooked on HDTV w/ an attic antenna picking up...
i'm high on the fact that XBOX uses natural 16:9 and progressive scan technology in it's current games ... eventually high definition. there's no question who's king ... XBOX!
... i've bought plenty of 'manufacturer refurbished' electronics (HK receiver / HP Pavilions(2) / Sony S-VHS / Hi8mm Sony / Sony XBR / etc.)
i agree w/ Ron Shaw's points and can confirm that i've had very good success with them. i've saved a ton of money.
my only guideline is that it be...
... (even though i highly disagree with NBC's delayed HDTV broadcast) i'm going to vote for the whole ceremony on high definition. just an awsome experience! ... especially being able to see the cuts in the ice from the blades and the water cascading in the Olympic torch. ; ) (didn't even...
nothing like watching the opening ceremonies for the 3rd time ... (no ski jumping due to wind) ... this delayed broadcast is an absolute shame. especially w/ all the HDTV promoting going on the last couple of months ... oh well, back to standard cable broadcast. some day the networks will...
... i'm 2 weeks in and couldn't agree more Scott! i'm lovin my Mits 55859 integrated hdtv. lookin forward to re-watching the opening ceremonies today!
no going back!
thanks Mike I for the response! ... i'm into HD by only 3 weeks and feel like i have a lot of catching up to do.
re: HD Olympics, great marketing strategy ... NOT.
hype the Olympics in HDTV and then delay broadcast by 24hrs, does anyone think about the customer anymore?
if there is logic...
i just noticed on TitanTv.com that the Friday night opening ceremonies does not have the 'HD' next to it. every other time segment over the next week does.
is it possible that NBC would hype the Olympics and not broadcast Friday night in HD??? it would be the perfect opportunity to...
if you can't wait for, or find, the 55909, take a look at the 55859 ... 5 element lens system, .52mm lenticular screen pitch (better than plus series), integrated hdtv, NetCommand/HAVI ... with the only difference being EDF lens vs. TruFocus (i didn't see enough of a difference to justify higher...
i'm new to this HDTV topic, but have made some killer progress over the last 3 weeks.
i bought a Mits 55859, integrated HDTV, and tested the Radio Shack HD set top antenna. i had to drag the antenna w/ 50 feet of coax to the second story closest wall facing Chicago (40miles away) to pick up...
