Great advice. Thanks to all.

Contrast 100%, Sharpness 0, everything else is factory default. The set started doing this about 2 months ago. Don't know if it is related, but I also switched to Dish TV about that time. A friend suggested that I check the tube for a build-up of dust, and clean everything inside with a can of...

Hmmm.....

I am getting a lot of red glare around the edge of lighter colored objects (especially white lettering) on my 20" Sony Trinitron. Any help in fixing this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dirk;)

Thanks for the good input. I ordered a set of BetterCables Silver Serpent Component Video Cables to replace the ones that came with the HDTV receiver, and a Silver Serpent S-Video for the SDTV connection. I will likely go ahead with the ISF calibration in a couple weeks. This will give the set a...

I have had my Toshiba 42H82 HDTV now about three weeks and I am still not satisfied with the quality of the SDTV picture. Even the change from cable to Dish TV has not made an improvement. The picture quality is fuzzy and suffers pixalation. Some members have suggested professional calibration...

"Should have got a Sony Wega" Order from Cyberteria, received two weeks later. Had to take off work for the delivery, since they don't deliver past 5:00. DVD looked good, but did not blow me away like I thought it would. Hooked it up to cable and the picture quality was poor, so I cut the cable...

Decor'd odor. But functional. :) .

Thanks Manny. I will likely go with the Panasonic, but would like to get some more information on the Philips. Dirk

I am considering the Philips DVD-953 progressive scan DVD: Philips DVD-953 Progressive Scan Any remarks on this on? Thanks Dirk

Thanks Allan. Good link!

Thanks Robert, I will try it out. Dirk

Finally got my Toshiba 42H82 from Cyberteria (poor shipping) and got everything hooked up. The Philips DVD looked great, but many of the cable channels were fuzzy and grainy. So I cut the cable and installed Dish TV HDTV/SDTV system. The HDTV looks great, but the SDTV picture quality generates a...

Manny. Does the Link Removed also contain the Sage/Faroudja chip ? Thanks, Dirk

What about the "Nintaus PDVD-9769"? Anyone using this DVD player?

Thanks for the input Manny. This one looks promising.

OK Folks. Lets see what the best progressive scan DVD is for under $350. I want to watch Blade Runner on my big screen and feel as if I am there. Thanks

Looks like a good bet. Link Removed

Thanks for the good insight. Looks like this is going to be a great forum for getting HTS help. Sorry I did not give the specs for the system I am putting together in the original thread. Here they are: Toshiba 42H82 HDTV compatible - Still waiting for Cyberteria to ship it. Digital Cable -...

Getting ready to add a progressive DVD player to my HTS, and wondering which connection provides the best sound. Is it the digital optical, or the 5.1 connection? Also wondering if it is better to run the DVD's component video through my Onkyo reveiver, and then to the Toshiba. Or, just...
