    New LN52A650 owner here. Initial impressions a a couple questions.

    New LN52A650 owner here! I had a HL-S5687W that was repaired a few times until CC replaced it under their extended warranty. Anyway, I did a bit of calibration and the picture is INCREDIBLE. My method is basically using "Just Scan" to get 1:1 pixel ratio and turning off all the extra...

    Anyone buy the featire pack for the Denon 3803/4808?

    I am VERY interested in the Dynamic EQ since I do a lot of listening at lower levels. $100 is steep for me if it isn't amazing.
