    Please help with quick Aquos LC-65SE94U question

    I'm planning to purchase the Aquos LC-65SE94U LCD. I've been searching the net for best quotes and found a new unit at wilddigital.com for $4391. When I called to order they said the $4391 TV does NOT have non-glare coating and the same model WITH non-glare coating would be $4900. Does...

    Mike, I want to be like you! You convinced me to be your "video buddy" so today I ordered the 45TX and the 7000. I'll be ordering my Sony 40" XBR and Cabasse XO speakers in time to have it all ready when I move into the new house on June 6. I'll need all your advice on hookups...you...

    DVD Recorder advice please, spend my money...

    Mike, It's really, really a tough call. Generally, I prefer newer to older and the Pioneer is hot off the presses. What it came down to was: I'll be using this to watch DVD's (of course), to record movies from cable/sat. and to copy old VHS tapes to DVD. In the end, the hard drive seems...

    DVD Recorder advice please, spend my money...

    Well, after reading everything yesterday, I had decided to go with the Pioneer DVR-7000. Final, no changes. Now today, after reading the comments and thinking about digital storage and such, I'm back to thinking I'll go with the Panasonic DMR-HS2 so I can use the 40 gig HD and "tivo-like"...

    Thanks again for all the advice. At this point, I think I've eliminated the Philips and will choose between the other two. DBT

    DVD Recorder advice please, spend my money...

    I haven't actually thought through all the format issues, although I know they exist. The Philips and Pioneer have the widest format range and, for that reason, I'm leaning toward them. With the quality issues raised in this thread it makes me think the Pioneer is probably the way to go...

    I'm buying a 40" Sony direct view XBR and want to add a new receiver. My primary use is for TV & DVD. I'll be looking to add 5 speakers & subwoofer for about $2500 (happy to consider a recommendation for speakers too). I'm looking at the Pioneer VSX-45TX, but would consider anything about...

    Thanks very much for the help your posts have provided so far. I'm learning all the way...and perhaps leaning toward the TRV30 (although I'm now going to compare the Panasonic). DBT

    Digital Camcorder Advice Please...

    I've got a baby on the way and haven't looked at camcorders since the VHS days. Any chance of getting a recommendation? I'm looking in the $900-$1300 range. This will be used for the basic kid, vacation, fun around the house type stuff. Once in a while shipping something to the grandparents...
