    Long-winded Sanyo XW15 Review

    Sanyo PLV-XW15 Review Now that I have about seven hours on the lamp of my newly arrived Sanyo XW15, I thought I’d share my experiences so far with the diminutive PJ. After 2 weeks of credit card authorization screw-ups and then just prior to shipping credit limit problems due to my wife’s...

    HDNet Bikini Island preview scared me

    Has anyone else caught this preview? Has to be by far the best HD content I've seen. Not just because of the babes, mind you, but at 100", those chicks looked like they were staring in at me from outside my picture window! Wierd. My wife was less impressed.

    Plus Piano. Can it do HDTV broadcasts?

    My opinion only, of course. But as I said, I own a Mitsubishi X250 XGA front projector and loved everything about it but the fact it's only HD compatibility is 1080i. So now my new Sanyo XW15 is in transit. 5 1/5 pounds, capable of 480i, 480p, 525i, 525p, 740p, 1035i (whatever that is) and...

    Plus Piano. Can it do HDTV broadcasts?

    "No production consumer level digital projector can do full 1080i." Maybe not "technically" without scaling or conversion, but I have a Mitsubishi X250 with 1080i compatibility and I have to tell you, people on HDNet look like they're on the other side of a piece of glass in my basement...

    Reception problems

    Ok, I know it's in the basement and all, but I'm having a really tough time pulling in Jerry Springer on UPN. I'm only about 57 miles from the transmitter and there are only a few trees and buildings between it and my house. I have a 12" Emerson B/W set recently picked up (for a steal I might...

    How much lumes do I need

    Or, you could just turn it on and do like I do. "Hmm..yeah, Ok, that looks pretty good"

    HDTV and DVI: A Very Important Article

    Ok, hold on a minute here. Are you telling me that I'm not going to be able to watch Gomer Pyle on my 12" B/W TV when I JUST bought it last week at a garage sale?! And why can't the stations turn up their power a little? I've gone through 4 perfectly good coat hangers and I still can't pick up...

    $2500 to spend

    Since you're not going bigger than 45", the NEC Multisync VT45 FP for around $1800 seems a great choice to me. The smaller picture will eliminate any pixilation at 800 X 600, you can move it to any room you please, It's compatible with ALL HDTV formats, and at just 6 pounds, you don't need to...

    Desperately Seeking Sucker

    There's an E-Bayer I've noticed listing and relisting a Sharp XV-100 at a starting bid of $999.00 with a "Buy it now" price of $1099.00! Of course, no one's bidding, but eventually some poor ignorant shmuck is gonna bite. How some people sleep at night. 90 Lumens 350 X 280 resolution...

    40H80 died, $700 to fix

    I would definetly get a second opinion. The shop you took it to sound like slugs to me. It is never neccessary to replace a main board unless a catastrophic failure burned many components, or the board is so inexpensive it's not worth the labor of repair. Replacement is the easy way out, and the...
