Well I'm back. Few of you remember me but I've been a member for quite a while. I've been posting over at AVS but I feel like a traitor since this is where I started. Anyway, just thought I'd get some input from the crowd here as I respect many of the opinions here. Finally pulling the...

SOLD Like new in box with all original papers and carry case. Will take $30 shipped CONUS.

Kind of ;) Some of you know me. Some of you are glad not to know me. My saga is one of the unending search for that "perfect" tv. Unfortunately my 16 yr. old Sony is finally giving up the ghost. Unfortunately also I'm in need of two displays so money is a major issue. I've decided that I...

Well, my 16 yr. old trinitron is on it's way out. Took 65 tries to get the power on last night! Is there a better deal than this Sammy? Seems pretty huge for the money, or is the LED version worth it yet? Contrast ratio seems low. Also, is this just too big for 10'?

Can anyone clue me in to making sense of the Samsung LCD models? They have no fewer than three 46" models than all begin with LN-T***** They also have at least three 46" models that begin with LN-S***** What's up? I can't make heads or tails out of this stuff. Is there a chart somewhere...

I saw two sets at my local Sam's Club yesterday that look intriguing. The first was an impressive Akai 42" 1080p. Very nice looking picture, even under all those lights. Cabinet was just my style also, $1099! Seems like a nice price. Here. Next up, I noticed near it still in the box (no...

About 2 months ago I was decided on picking up a 46" DLP to tide me over, something in the $1K range. I dropped that idea mostly because viewing angle is important to me. Now the LCDs are dropping faster than I expected and the 40"-42" are in the same price range. I am fairly sensitive to...

OK, some of you are going to laugh at this and my mistakes but....if it's a bad idea I guess it will just die a quick death. This thread should be done by a whole slew of individuals more knowledgeable than me, but it hasn't been done and I for one would (will?) find it helpful for a newbie...

I've been a long time Tivo fan. However I am now in the market for a new display. It has me wondering how Tivo can possibly fit in for me in the future. For the present I will still be watching SD via normal cable but I know I will be upgrading to HD cable sometime in the future. This brings...

OK, I need to order two new displays within the next 3 days. I think I have it narrowed down to two choices but would like some votes here (or suggestions if I'm missing something I should consider). Sony 46E2000 or Samsung HL-S4666W My concerns: - I looked at both of these and...

I am considering the HL-S4666W from Sammy. Got to thnking though that the 1K might be better spent elsewhere. Any suggestions?

Just saw this over at Amazon. I've been agonizing over a new display for about 2 years (yikes). I was thinking the other day that if I could pick something up for 1K that would satisfy me for 3 years it would be worth it. This seems like an awful good deal, but I know I've been wrong too many...

I have been a member here for quite a while. For the most part I sit on the sidelines because I don't have anything useful to say. I've also been looking for a new TV for about 2 years! My price point (2K) and my qualifications (near perfect picture [DLP, Plasma, LCD, I like them all] in the...

I have been in the market for a new TV for about 2 years and am coming to the conclusion that I will not have a new set for some time (money vs expectations). I know next to nothing about HDMI, but was thinking, IF it will be some time before I get a new set, can I plan on getting one with...

Who does SD the best in a HDTV RP? SO far I haven't seen any worth looking at.

Panny Ct-30wc15 $679 SOny 32hs510 $899 I'm thinking about both this Panny or the Sony. I was waiting to spend my savings on a new Widescreen HD set but I can't stand SD on any of them. I think that for the price I could use one of these for the next 2-3 years and be satisfied...

My Sony DVP-S360 is dying.....I think. Trying to watch the Incredibles tonight and half way through it started glitching out (freezing, pixelating, skipping, etc). I checked the disc and found it to be perfectly clean. I then tried it on another of the same model and it played fine. Ditto...

What display would you get? The rules are: 1. No FP, too much light in room 2. 42" minimum 3. No CRT RP 4. You can't spend any additional money This is a real world exercise, if I can move quickly.

Anyone know of a calculator that will give relative picture area depending on screen size and aspect ratio? i.e.: If I had a 50" and was watching LOTR 2.35:1, what would the pciture size be?

Anyone in Cedar Rapids Iowa?

Well I'm still waiting for that sub $2000 RP LCD or DLP or PLASMA (obviously not RP). As it seems I will be waiting quite some time I am still tempted by a $1000 range FP. My questions for the FP owners are: 1. What's the best in this price range? 2. What do you do about cable routing...

I have decided that, regardless of the good advice and may I say very convincing advice I have received here regarding a RP CRT, with Tivo and kids I think it would be a monumental mistake. I would be more comfortable with DLP or improved LCD. The cost is still too high for me. In light of...

I have been in the market for a new tv for a couple years. Budget holds me back. I am inclined towards Plasma or DLP RP or maybe LCD RP. I have ruled out CRT RP because of burn in/small children factor (though I did see a descent looking Panny at Sam's and thought, if I get that I will unload...

Well after 15 years I opened my Boston Acoustics A60's today to find they had rotten foam! I have always loved these speakers and hate to see them go. My dilemma: should I refoam these or buy new? On the one hand, these speakers were hard to beat in their price range and I think are still...

I am looking to replace my small Sony satellite rears. I am currently using: SV PCi sub PhaseTech V6 Center BA A60 Left and Right I suspect that I could do better than the Sony's on the rear but don't want anything big or much bigger than they (approx. 4x7in.). I have no idea what to...

Just bought two Monster PC1000 clean power strips as Buy.com had them on special for $59. A pretty good deal. Unfortunately as they are marketed for PCs they are marked in a confusing way, at least for me. Of the 8 outlets, 4 are marked "Low Noise Filter Switched" and 4 are marked...

Though I am far from an authority and SVS surely doesn’t need another plug, I would like to put in my two cents. We recently acquired a 20-39 PCi through the informative help of both the HTF and Mr. Ron Stimpson. First I have to give credit to everyone here who, through numerous reviews and...

I am in the market to replace an older Sony DVD player. I figure I might as well go for progressive even though I don't have a progressive capable TV, in hopes that the TV will be upgraded in the not too distant future. After reading several threads I can;t see getting anything without the...

I orginally posted this in another thread. I thought maybe I should start a new one. Could someone please explain how to set my RL on a receiver that doesnt have a Master Volume scale? My Sony STR-DE945 shows everything you would ever want to know and NOT know, but somewhere in Sony's logic...

Hello all, We are currently using a STR-DE945 Sony. We are running a couple small Sony satellites for rears, two Boston A60's for the fronts and Phase Tech V6 for the center. Unfortunately I have read many negative reviews of this receiver. It makes me wonder if we might cause damage to the...
