    Best 60"+ TV

    I am looking for the best TV under $4500 (60" or bigger). I want true 1080p. I am looking at the Mits WD62627 $4,200, and the Toshiba 62HM195 $2,874. It the Mits worth the extra dough? Should I check out something else? I would like to buy from onecall if possible.

    NBA Playoffs in HD

    Is anyone watching the playoffs in HD? I see the adds for Hidef PLayoffs but DirectTV and the dish only list a few games as being veiwable in HD. I guess my real question is how do I watch all of the Kings games in HD? I currently have Dish Network, but I'm willing to switch if necessary.

    Where does HD come from

    What format do networks such as HBO and Showtime get their HD Movies on? Do they do their out transfers? Obviously not on DVD, maybe DVHS, probably not.

    2.35 : 1 on a 16:9 set

    I have properly adjusted contrast and brightness on my Hitachi 51swx20b (my first RPTV) and am wondering if I should worry about watching too many 2.35 : 1 movies? Also can a 3 1/2 hour movie like the extended LOTR dvd cause problem with black bars on top and bottom? What do folks around here...

    Has anyone used S&V HTT

    I have already spent way too much on a home theater. I just graduated from college and would like to save a little. Is Sound and Visions' Home Theater Tune-up a good disc? I figure that AVIA is better, but if only marginally so I think I will go with S&V for only $15.00 or so.

    Easy to scratch a screen

    I am considering the Panasonic 53wx42 or 53wx52. I like the idea of no glare, but hate the idea of a ruined screen. How easy is it to scratch or otherwise damage the screen on these things, and is there any recourse if a screen were to be damaged
