    I may be crazy but...

    Do you watch the same dvd over and over again or a newer and newer dvd.

    X-box and HDTV connections

    The hd pack does not have an s video connection. Fof S video and 5.1 you need the advanced av pack, not the hd pack.

    What is meant by 16x9 Squeeze???

    It wouldn't be called a line doubler. On my set it is called 16X9 enhanced mode. What set are you wondering about?

    32XBR450... does it have auto 16x9 squeeze?

    It will auto detect on interlaced signals only. If you have a progressive scan player you have to manually select 16X9 enhanced.

    Considering the Sony KV-36HS20 Any input or comments on this unit

    If the set you get has this problem it probably will affect subtitles. Like I said though it is easily fixable and shouldn't be of much concern. You won't be dissapointed with this set.

    Considering the Sony KV-36HS20 Any input or comments on this unit

    A lot of the Sonys have bowing across the bottom. When you watch a channel with stock tickers on it, the center of the ticker is bowed up. I have only seen a couple of Sony's that don't come with this problem. It is easily corrected in the service menu using the VPIN and VCEN codes. DVD's...

    Considering the Sony KV-36HS20 Any input or comments on this unit

    I own this set and it is great. It is a direct view hd ready tv, which means you will need to buy a hd tuner to view hdtv. With normal 480i material it upconverts it to 960 interlaced, which means it has an internal line doubler increasing the resolution to "near hd". With substandard input...

    Classic gaming thread

    I always liked the old Bards Tale and Ultima games for the C64 or vic20. I still break out lords of conquest every once and a while on my c64, that game is sweet.

    Fully HD Capable w/o additional receiver

    There are some 16X9 sets that have built in hd tuners for ota signals. They are specifically called hdtv's. All hd ready tv's need additional recievers to view hd. I thought that Time Warner provided you with their hd receiver, I don't think you can just plug a coax cable into a hdtv and be...

    SVM = Contrast+ ?

    I would turn it off. Sounds like SVM to me. Anything that artifically sharpens the original image is bad news in my opinion.

    Flat Screen vs HDTV

    I think you mean that analog tvs will be obsolite in about 3 years. Hdtv monitors are not going to be obsolite.

    What is the most "accurate" color temperature

    I use the warm setting on my 36hs20 but I also adjusted the red push in the service menu. At first it took a little getting used to but now if I switch to neutral or cool it is way too blue. Try each for a week or so and see what you like best.

    PS3 information

    Woops, my above post should read 1100Mhz or 1.1Ghz not 110Mhz. A 1.1Ghz chip is nice for gaming. As far as the 110Ghz being in the PS3, if it is I'll buy one and eat it. And Camp even with my typo I don't see that as being contradictory at all.

    XBox progressive abilities.

    If your set is hd ready it has to accept a 1080i or 720p signal. The hd format is 1080i or 720p not 480p, although most sets display only 1080i natively. No game as of right now supports any resolution above 480p though, so switching on 1080i in the dash will have no effect.

    PS3 information

    110Mhz is reasonable and affordable to put in a game console. 110Ghz will never happen in our lifetime.

    Need straight scoop - 16:9 enhanced mode on 4:3 set with HD feed

    The DVI connector is something totally different than sonys I-link firewire connector. As of right now they are not compatible with each other. DVI will be on some sony sets this summer. As far as DVI making the current sets obsolite, it's all up in the air, no one is sure yet. If it...

    Mother sues Nintendo for death of her 30 year old son.

    Actually the government uses the cigarette tax to provide health care to needy children. So by not smoking you are really depriving children of their health care. Light up. I think the market will decide how to punish the cigarette companies. If you don't like it don't smoke, thats what I...
