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...

I am helping my parents in their new house and my dad finally gave up his 20 year old JVC receiver and his 50+ year old AR2 speakers. I am looking to get 2 pair of small, attractive, "full range" speakers. They just need stereo sound and we don't really want to be adding a subwoofer...

My BluRay version of Planet Earth came today, and much to my surprise, inside the disc box was an HD-DVD notice. CONSPIRACY!!! Not trying to start a format war, just posting what I find to be an unusual addition to my BluRay version of this amazing documentary. Anyone else get this? Old...
According to Amazon the 805 shipped first on April 1st... http://www.amazon.com/Onkyo-TX-SR805...6385175&sr=1-1 Looks nice from the limited info there and what I already know about the 605, Anyone have more detailed specs? EDIT: I found a bit more: TX-SR805 MSRP $999 Est...
have some serious picture noise issues? It's hit or miss too. The picture is all over the place. It the opening scene when Xavier gets out of the car his face and head are SERIOUSLY noisy. Then it seems to come and go throughout the film. It looks pretty bad at some points and pretty damn...
I am getting impatient now to hear some multi channel uncompressed audio. Here's my question(s): Will I be able to run my PS3 @1080p via HDMI into the 2807, and my Xbox360 via component, also @ 1080p into the 2807 and have them BOTH output from HDMI @ 1080p to my TV? All while getting...
Near the PS3 section as I have read. :) The demo contains the following songs: March of the Pigs Closer Beside You in Time The Hand that Feeds Head Like a Hole This is second hand info that I read elsewhere, so please do not shoot the messenger.
I will not double dip movies that are not top notch animation, sci-fi, action or fantasy type movies. Examples I will double dip for: Matrix LoTR The Frightners Terminator ANY Pixar film Star Wars (OT please) Raiders of the Lost Ark I will, of course only be buying HD movies...
In my never-ending quest to improve my HT, I am considering moving my center channel above my TV, mounted on the wall. It is currently residing in the cabinet below the TV and I am tired of opening and closing it. Not to mention it looks stupid when open. Please see the picture below for a...
We have settled into our 4th home and I have almost completed my HT again. This is the best one yet IMHO. It's in the basement and I have total light control. The finished side of the basement is one big room split up into quadrants. HT, Office, Pool, Music. The HT area is about 12'x12'...
I can't change any of the detailed settings for Component 2 only. I can choose any main settings like Mode, Color Temp and whatnot, but I can't actually change Contrast, Brightness etc... It's let's me get to the part where the numbers are displayed at the bottom of the screen, but pressing...
I looked up my area on antennaweb.org, and it seems like there's at least one or two channels I can pull in here, which, to me, makes it worth getting an antenna. I have a Samsung HL-S5687W, with the built in tuner, but I am in the basement. Does this mean I have to install the antenna...
I have tried using Avia and even sunk as low as the THX Optimode thing. Here's the problems: 1. When calibrating the contrast, the disc wants you to turn it up until it blooms and then turn it down until just below where it starts to bloom. Well, it doesn't bloom. Ever. All the way to...
First off, let me tell you that my last TV was a Sony 57" CRT based RP HDTV, and I thought it had a great picture and that is my basis of comparison. Secondly, let me also say that I only did very basic calibration on the new set with my Avia DVD. I only tweaked Contrast, Brightness and...
I am buying a home that was built in 1960 and has only 2 prong outlets. I have a Monster Line conditioner for my HT stuff. Can I get a 2 to 3 prong convertor? How is this going to affect me? Any input is appreciated. Thanks!
http://www.plasmatvbuyingguide.com/lcdtv.html It seems to favor LCD. Here's my situation: I have an older Sony 57" widescreen HDTV, CRT based. It's had problems. It's the infamous "flicker" model. Circuit City is replacing it now that it's going on it's 3rd set of CRTs. I am...

So, I just got back from the $5.50 bin, and much to my happy suprise, I found Evolution and Trading Places. Both are anamorphic widescreen and DD 5.1. Evolution also feaetures a DTS track. NICE! My question is this: Are new pressings of Evolution still being made? The one I picked up...
