You can get screen samples from most of the major vendors. I have the optoma H30 and the Dalite High Power. If you are planning on a pulldown screen then go with the High Power, it is the best at handling waves, which is a problem with any screens that are not fixed. If you are going with a...

Hi Guys, Just finally getting back to my ignorant newbie thread where I confused everyone as much as myself:) Not that I know much more now, but I do have info to hopefully clear up any confusion this thread may cause someone searching on an empty center issue: 1. Polk now verifies this...

Hey I went into Circuit City to pick up 1 Polk R20, paid $75 and they gave me 2! Is that the sale price or did I just get a free speaker?

check the Optoma H30 thread over at avsforum.com its not native 16:9 but they are releasing a lens cap that should bring the CR to 2500:1 and eliminate the light spill.

Thanks for the info Cameron, Actually my friend has a Sony LCD and the Samsung 931 and the differece is spectacular. I know a lot of that has to do with it being an all digital setup, and had read in some other posts of people not seeing the same difference when hooking this player up to RPTVs...

Thanks Michael, I didn't know it was for video only, thanks for that information. I will have to look up DCDI and get more info on that. So basically if all I am interested in is watching DVD movies, any of those tabletop RPTVs should fit the bill? Thanks again!

Hi All, There has been talk of this DVD player not making a big impact on RPTVs, especially those that upconvert 480p to 540p. I know this DVD player also supports an output of 720p and 1080i. Granted none of the lower cost RPTVs support 720p, but I thought they did support 1080i? Will they...

Hi All, I have been studying the forums for a few weeks now trying to purchase a set. I have basically decided to wait a few more years before going digital, but I am going to go ahead and buy a tabletop RPTV for now. I have decided to pass on the Toshiba and Hitachi since they upconvert to...

Thats a whole lot of discussion about burn. I just read through the thread. Anyways, I am looking at getting an RPTV, but I have a PS2 and games like Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Final Fantasy can sometimes leave me playing for 5 hours or more for weeks at a time. I am getting the idea...

Thanks John S You just posted this 2 seconds ago I think. I am an idiot! http://www.cnet.com/4520-7874_1-5108443-4.html?tag=dir

I noticed all these LCD and DLP monitors at the store support 1080i, but have 1024x768 resolution, or close to that. Isn't the 1080i name from horizontal resolution (768 in the case of these monitors). Does that mean that these monitors take a 1080i signal and then downconvert it to 768...

This is cool, give it a second to load. http://www.ntv.co.jp/channel/kasoh/kin10.html

Hi Glenn, Thanks for the response. I am sure you are right. I haven't really seen anyone else mention this. When I play the AVIA test disc with the white noise though, changing the LPF setting does seem to change the timbre or pitch or something with the sound. I have to set the LPF to 100 or...

The more I think about this, the more it looks like a design flaw in the Polk current speaker setup. Even their high end models only run the L and R speaker through the Sub. The main reason they recommend this is so they can control the LPF for those speakers. By not including the Center...

Just a note on this old thread. I now have my speakers set up as polk describes, but since the center does not run through the sub, and the HK-120 does not allow me to change the LPF on the center speaker, I am forced to match the LPF setting on my sub for the L and R speaker to the output of...

There was a recent Magic Knight Rayearth (Remastered) release of the OVAs. Is this a carry on of the story from the TV series, or a retelling? Can I watch these OVAs without watching the TV series first or will it be confusing? Thanks!

Don't put BloodLust on the shelf based on what you thought of the original. Very different movies. I think Bloodlust may be one of my best sounding DVDs, assuming you have an HT, check it out.

And just think Ted, to really enjoy this classic you also have to watch it with subs... BTW I agree with you so I have Jeff's pity as well. If I don't get into the animation I have very little motivation to try and get into the story. Unfortunately there is a lot of old dated anime that is at...

Hello, I loaned my friend the Eva Box and he really liked the music that ADV used on their Trailer. I've seen it referred to as the "ADV trailer gallery" as it shows lots of cut scenes from different anime. Anyhow, he really liked the music that was used for this piece and was wondering if...

NGE is 109 at Best Buy BTW Question: Watching Fushigi Ugi with my girl and is there a name for what they do to the characters when they get emotional. Sometimes there will be a drop of sweat as big as a house or they turn completely red. Just a complete change in animation from realism to...

Hi Andrew_L I would recommend Battle Angel. RightStuf still carries the DVD, not going to find it on a store shelf. Maybe someone else will second my recommendation. It covers the first 2 books of the Manga, and the other 6 graphic novels can be purchased at Borders, but they run like $16...

Why is the MSRP $169.99 and Best Buy can sell it for $99.99? They did the same thing with the NGE box. I have also seen Ah! My Goddess the movie priced between $29.99 and $14.99. You really have to be careful when buying DVDs or you can be out hundreds of dollars quickly. And why are some...

Hi, Long time reader. On Escaflowne I wouldn't recommend anyone watching the movie first, unless they are sure they are never going to watch the series. I feel the movie can ruin the series for someone since it introduces the characters without character development, but watching the series...

I remember noticing that when I saw that in the theatre as well. Check out the glass as it buckles before it breaks, also when Neo drops his cell phone off the ledge of the building at the beginning of the movie it hangs momentarily before it actually drops. I think this is all built into the...

Problem really resolved this time. I had already configured my System with the AVIA disk, and then I read a couple places that for the RM6000 speaker set, since the speakers are smaller the Low Pass Filter should be set to max (160). I made this change, the bass sounded better so I left it...
