    still looking for a TV...giving plasma a double-take

    i posted a while back that i had purchased a 42" sony lcd rear projection and ended up returning it due to being disappointed with the dvd and broadcast quality. i'm still stuck with requirements that it must be light (no more 250+ lb tv's for me!). i noticed that one of the lower cost EDTV...

    $2500 budget for new projection tv

    A friend has asked me to help him pick out a new projection tv. He is upgrading from a 47" GE 4:3 unit. He wants to stay at $2500 or under. His viewing habits are 80% satellite/cable tv...20% dvd. He wants the largest screen available, and i would say is very flexible with quality vs...

    upgrading subwoofer....SVS Ultra too much for me?

    my setup: Klipsch... SF-2 (mains) SCC-1 (center) SB1 (rear) KSW-12 (sub) Denon 2802 receiver would upgrading to an SVS Ultra be too much for my "moderate" klipsch setup? i'd hate to have to subdue the output too much to keep from overpowering the rest of the system. thoughts?

    Tau vs. XBR

    i have already purchased the 40" XBR...but it won't be delivered for a few weeks (until i move into my new place)...so i can continue to look for something else (can't hurt, right?) ;) i was just at circuit city (shiver...ick), but looked at the Panasonic Tau HD 36" and the picture was very...

    UPS in the place of surge protector strips

    any rough estimate of the power requirements to hook my receiver, tv, etc into a computer UPS instead of the normal "Monster Strip" or similar? obviously i don't care about the backup time associated with the UPS, but i already have a UPS and would use that instead of buying another $80-$100+...
