    Why do DVD's look so bad?

    Well owning an RPTV is getting to be more and more of a hassle. I don't like settling for incorrect geometry and convergence. The convergence looks like it is set right when I check the TV controls, but a lot of the advanced patterns on the AVIA disc are showing differently. Around the edges...

    Why do DVD's look so bad?

    Yep, the responses are great. I did AVIA basic calibration.. Absolutely amazing.. It turned out to be about 2 times the picture quality I was getting before. All those other advanced test patterns are a little concerning though. I viewed them to check the geometry and convergence... and I...

    viewing position??

    I have 65" Mitsu Gold Plus RPTV. How far away should one sit from a 65" RPTV?? I also have a pretty expensive and developed home theater system. I just can't ever seem to figure a good listening position.. Could someone help me out. Currently, I have the couch about 7 feet back and my...

    Why do DVD's look so bad?

    Before I do AVIA.... Should I turn the black levels on the Denon to lighter or darker? Also should I keep the Mitsubishi Black Enhancement to ON of OFF?? Then I run the AVIA calibration test patterns. I do the basic calibration. I think it is 5 steps or so. After that... Are the...

    Why do DVD's look so bad?

    Hmm.. I don't know.. I just bought a DVD-3800 and Mitsubishi WS-65411 2003 Gold Plus RPTV. I just was suprised that my DVD's didn't look amazingly good. I think I have been expecting it to be like 1080i. Even with the DVD-3800 superior progressive scan processing, it is not what I...

    Pioneer 47Ai first impressions

    So is there really the chroma bug with the DV-47Ai?? This would be very disappointing as I have been impatiently awaiting this player.

    true HD resolutions??

    Hmm... I have never once before started a thread like this. I have been reading various threads about it.. and it was a big deal at first... but now I am comfortable with it.

    true HD resolutions??

    Let me get something straight here... Is it true that there only very few Rear Projection HDTVs on the market that have a 1920x1080 native resolution? This means that all 1080i source is meant for this native resolution for the truest possible presentation, but most RPTVs do not even honestly...

    Denon DVD 3800 questions

    I am about to go pick up my unit from Ultimate Electronics.. They just got the truck in today. The 3800 is straight from Denon. The last 4 digits of serial number are 2192. I'll try to let you guys know how it works. I am a little scared now that Levasque is having problems with a...

    Pioneer Elite VSX-47TX is best kept secret in receiver market!

    I love the new Elite line. I actually have the 47TX, but I will tell those who are looking for a lower priced receiver and are considering Denon 3802/3803 or HK.. I would strongly recommend the VSX-45TX... I think it kills anything in its class. Of course I definitely prefer the 47 and 49!

    VSX-47TX..... Should I?

    I just want to make sure that nothing spectacular or of better value comes out in the near future. I didn't want to commit to a big purchase and then find out that Pioneer has upgraded the 47TX to the 47TXi or something, which they don't seem to be intending.. Also I am very interested in...

    VSX-47TX..... Should I?

    Man I can't imagine the 49TX or 47TX shutting down with Studio 100's. This clearly seems to be a safety mechanism. I have noticed that just about all Paradigm Reference speakers need a damn serious amplifier to be unleashed, but the 100's might be in a whole different class... That is alot...

    VSX-47TX..... Should I?

    Hmm... The 525 doesn't seem to be anything special. It is the competition between Pioneer Elite VSX-45TX or a Denon 3803. Not In Pioneer Elite class. I want something around 2000+ dollars discounted with a list that is even higher. VSX-47TX is listed at 3000 dollars but dealer will do...

    Denon DVD-3800 August buid date review.

    I talked to a local dealer (Ultimate Electronics) yesterday about getting a new Denon DVD-3800. They had plenty in stock at their warehouses around the country, but I explained the issues with the older 3800's and I got a freshly manufactured unit special ordered from Denon themselves. I am...

    VSX-47TX..... Should I?

    I am about to buy the VSX-47TX by Pioneer Elite. Definitely a great receiver, but I am wondering.... Are there any really new receivers coming out soon that are in the same class as the VSX-47TX that might be a better value? I know about Denon's 3803, but it is not nearly in the same class...

    Epson TW100 projector

    Is the Epson TW100 home theater projector worth buying?? I hear all good and it supports native 720P resolution. Also, what is PriceJapan.. Are they ok to buy from. Are there any major risks? It seems to be a very popular place.

    to put it this way, Mitsu WS-65411 vs. FPTV?...

    ... I am mainly watching DVDs. I think that I really prefer XGA or WXGA. If I am buying a RPTV, I am buying the Mitsubishi 65" Gold Plus 2003 model. I still cannot decide on a good Front Projector and the correct screen to go with it. A very popular choice seems to be the PT-AE100...

    Best FPTV for $2000-3000 ???

    I was really impressed with front projection over RPTV. I don't really want to spend more than 3000 dollars on the projector... Could anyone recommend a really good one around this price range?? It MUST be XGA resolution. I don't mind the WSVGA though.. i think 848xXXX. ALSO, what...

    Who is DenonJeff?? Good Guys just got in a new shipment of the Denon DVD-3800. They have been out of stock for some time. They were aware of this too.. and they told me that these are newer fixed models.. I then called Denon to make sure.. And the Denon guy went into detail about the...

    Denon DVD 3800 questions

    Some of the dealers and distributors had the DVD-3800 sent back because of a recall. Although the Chroma bug was resolved sometime after July 26th, probably some distributors had older versions. Also, there was supposedly a batch of Denon DVD-3800 shipments that had lockup issues. So this might...

    HDTV setup procedures?

    Ok, I decided to go with the Mitsubishi WS-65411 Gold Plus TV. Ultimate Electronics does their own delivery service.. Thank god. After we get the TV all setup and positioned, should I wait like an hour for it to warm up after turning it on before I start configuring/tweaking it and messing...

    Mitsubishi 2003 models

    What is wrong with my Toshiba is that there are 3 red-green-blue ovals in a consecutive pattern at the top right corner of the screen. I do not know what caused it. But I didn't notice it at first. I might have just been overly excited. It looks sorta as if a magnetic field caused this due to an...

    Mitsubishi 2003 models

    I only want Toshiba or Mitsubishi, but I have hot really checked or been attracted to Hitachi. It must be 65" with a split cabinet design. Those are the only TVs that are capable of being moved up my stairs.. Even a 53-57 inch TV cannot go up their because they don't have split cabinet...

    Mitsubishi 2003 models

    How do the Mitsubishi Gold-Plus WS-65411 and Platinum-Plus WS-65611, or even the Platinum WS-65511 compare the Toshiba new H82, like the 65H82. I am returning the 65H82 to Best Buy because of a problem. Are the new Mitsubishi's better? I might have to settle for Gold-Plus 65".

    Progressive scan players....

    I am ordered a newly revised Denon DVD-3800 progressive scan DVD player. I also have the Toshiba 65H82. Do HDTVs like like my Toshiba need to have the option to disable their 3:2 pulldown/de-interlacing in order for the Denon's progressive processing to be effective? Or does the TV...

    SVS vs. Paradigm Servo-15

    I am having a lot of trouble deciding between these subwoofers. I am leaning towards Paradigm and alot of the reason is because I own all Paradigm Reference speakers. Fronts: Studio 40 v.2 Center: Studio CC v.2 Surrounds: Studio ADP v.2 Any suggestions or thoughts. I am afraid that this...
