Cool thread! Here is my modest horror collection. Right now there is one title I am absolutely counting the days for and that's Dawn of the Dead. I may not be able to hold out for the multi-disc set and will more than likely purchase the single-disc edition first just to get it out of my...
I definitely need an HD receiver! Would also be interested in music/mp3/digital photo servers and associated networking equipment? I know I'll be in the market for one when the technology matures a bit more. Also DVD+-R/RW drives.
I don't get it. I have a copy of Good Will Hunting (purchased from Columbia House), that says "Widescreen (1.85:1) - Enhanced for 16X9 Televisions". It is a R1 disc.
I played it in a Panny RP91k DVD player and Toshiba 42H82 widecreen monitor. But it is NOT ANAMORPHIC! The picture is matted...
OK. So I am at work and my wife calls me.
"Al, I was just watching TV and all of a sudden the TV goes off with a clicking sound. Then I tried to turn it back on, but no power and no picture. Just an intermittent clicking sound."
:eek: Right about now my knees got weak and I almost dropped...

I just bought this DVD yesterday and watched it today. During Ch. 20 (about 1hr 18min mark) during the scene where Clarence is talking to the guy at the hot dog stand about the Elvis article, the audio drops out (DTS) and the picture freezes several times with pixelization throughout. This...
I have had a Toshiba 42H82 for a week now. I did a S&V video calibration after warming up a few hours. Tonight while watching DVDs my wife and I both noticed reddish areas on the extreme left and right of the screen during dark scenes. It is especially noticeable on the DVD welcome screen. The...
Matt, I actually found that I could not haggle with BB sales people, but Stephanie at OneCall gave me a great price on my Toshiba 42H82. It was 1799.00 at BB and they would not budge! It was also 1799.00 at OneCall + 10% off sale. On top of that she price matched ABTelectronics (another...
I just got a 42H82 and had similar results. I did notice however that if the lights are out and the ALS feature is turned off, the picture gets a little brighter without actually increasing brightness. You may want to check that setting.
Well I have had the Toshiba 42H82 up and running now for almost a week and I must say that watching DVD's is phenomenal! :emoji_thumbsup: The picture is very smooth and film-like. As this is my first 16:9 digital set, I think I finally figured out what anamorphic DVD is all about as well.
As...
Jesse: Can you expand on what you mean about " many things". Like an ISF cal? How do I go about having one done? How much? And will there be a noticeable difference? Thanks
That's a damn shame! It's these type of people that give online shopping, auctions etc. a bad name! I purchase lots of merchandise on the net, and laugh at some of my freinds that are reluctant to do so. I try to explain to them how to do it smartly and avoid getting ripped off, but it's...
My Toshiba 42H82 will be here tommorow morning! Couple of questions: 1. I would like to set it up and calibrate with Sound & Vision HT Tuneup DVD. Will this be sufficient, or should I go out and buy the Avia disc? 2. I will be hooking up my Panasonic RP91k via component video cables...
Also check onecall.com or abtelectronics.com. Both are Toshiba authorized E-tailers which means they will honor the warranty and both have specials on Toshibas right now. Both E-tailers have extended warranties as well. I just ordered a 42H82 from onecall! Even with shipping, they beat...
All, Thanks for input/info, but I decided to go with the Toshiba 42H82 at Onecall. TV, 4-year extended warranty, AudioQuest component and an S-video (for SAT) cables + shipping came out to $2047.50. Would have cost me close to $2500 at BB. Since Toshiba has in-home service included in...
Vic, I saw that too! Anybody know what exactly is the difference between the Toshiba 42H82 and the 42H81? I assume it's just last years model. What improvements/changes are there? Thanks for all the replies. I will check out the Mitsu. Is it out yet? Where? Al
Due to physical dimensions in my present HT setup I have narrowed my choices to the following models: Toshiba 42H82 -- available at BestBuy for $1799.99 Samsung HCM4215W -- at BestBuy for 1599.99 + 131.99 for stand Samsung HCM422W -- at Ultimate Electronics for 1552.00 + 99.00 for...
