I bought a mitsubishi 55809 a long time ago, just a monitor, still runs good after fixing the board. I haven't looked for a new one until yesterday, thought a lcd would be nice for the bedroom. Man, can't even find a small one with 720p display. What the heck is 1366x768?? At least they started...
I am selling my well taken care of svs 20-39 pci+ sub. It's 18 months old. I have the original documentation and port blocker. Original packaging was damaged, so I'll have to factor in new packaging. I wouldn't think it would cost more than 50.00 to ship. 675.00 shipped, 625.00 for pick up. If...
Hey all, I've had my mitsubishi 55809 for about 3 years now and recently when I've turned it on I'll get excess blue on both sides and the picture and the rest looks off color. It might do this for an undetermined time when I first turn it on, could be 5 mins, could be 30 mins,or it could just...
I wanted to ask your opinions if this would be a good deal. It's at the shopathometv.com website but I'm not sure which infocus model they have. My viewing would be dvd and xbox, but I'm aware that hd would be downcoverted so that would be an issue down the road. A comprimise I guess for their...
Hey I've been reading reviews on the 4805 and the panasonic ae700 and I'd like a 720p projector but the price is a little too high for the ae700 for me. Someone here posted a link for the l500, which is in my budget and opinions on that model? I will use it for xbox heavily and for dvds. I'm...
Hey, I've had directv for 3 years. I have the toshiba dst-3000 hd reciever. I want to use a tivo like service. I thought about running a directivo on a seperate input, but, this will cost 10.00 extra a month, and they haven't offered local channles in my area, so I couldn't record ota, and it...
I really like floor standing speakers, and they match up well asthetically with a rptv. So I'm wondering when plasma screens mounted on the wall are the norm, will it look dorky to have floor speakers along the wall? Will everything be mounted next to the tv,(center and mains+shelving for...
I've read that some panasonic models would show 720p, and some new hdtv's accept 720p, but upconvert it, etc. I'm trying to find a database of hdtv's that do720p natively. I don't know why most wouldn't,(including my mits) seeing that xbox supports 720p games, espn hd is in 720p, and abc? runs...
I've seen ads for 99 bucks for a directv/tivo box, and my vcr died so I need something for taping shows. I already have a hdtv directv box, so can I run another directv box on a seperate input? I'd use it for taping and if something decent comes on hd, I can switch over to the hd box. I know...
How can rg6 coaxial pipeline hd+dolby digital together? This is something that perplexes me: I have an outdoor antenna with coax cable running to my external hi-def decoder box, which then connects through component(1080i) to the tv and optical to the a/v reciever for dolby digital. I'm...
I've owned a mitsubishi 55" hdtv for 3 years now, and I'd like to find something that handles 720p natively,(no conversion). I remember panasonic had some at one time. I'd like to see xbox in 720p and some of the networks 720p signal. John
I picked up this Cyberhome 7" LCD Portable player yesterday afternoon. Radioshack is carrying them in stores. I paid 349.00, about 25.00 more than you can find on-line, but at least if I don't like it I can return it to a local store. The reason why I'm trying this player is mostly because of...
I've come across one that has a built in tv tuner(ntsc and pal), region free http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...&category=3316 and another one which has a 360 degree rotation screen.http://www.computex.com.tw/detail_pr...ame=PDR%2D3000 I wonder when we'll see something like that available to...
I've found this but I wanted to see if anyone has bought one or heard of them. It's supposed to be progressive scan, 7in widescreen and plays dvd+-r/rw's. 3-4hr battery and component out! Here's the link: http://www.ateck.com/viewItem.asp?idProduct=453055331 Tell me what you think! John
This is wierd. My mitsubishi 55809 just shifted the picture off center when you put it in narrow format. So the grey bars are wider on the left side. It's the same accross all inputs,(except 1080i of course). I reset the factory convergence so now problems there. Any ideas?? John
I have the toshiba dst-3000 hdtv reciever. So I like to listen through the tv speakers or use the a/v reciever via optical connections. Trouble is, the hdtv reciever only has two rca audio outputs. (one for 480i and one for 1080i). 480i listening is not a problem at all, it's trying to listen to...
I am thinking of getting a lcd monitor when the price is right for a 18-19". But I have noticed some widescreen lcd monitors here and there,(mostly there). I think apple had quite a few on display at Compusa. So would any software support 16:9 viewing? Or would the conventional 4:3 lcd monitor...
I think I've got 5 or 6 remotes. I need a good universal remote, but I don't want to spend more than 150.00 if I can find one on ebay. I've looked at marantz rc200mkII, sony touchscreen, and some jbl/microsoft tc 1000 take control touchscreen. I don't think I could afford a pronto or the higher...
I never really noticed until tonight while watching stargate ultimate edition, but I selected dts-es, and decided to just use the tv speakers instead of the reciever. Well no sound is what I got. If I switched to dolby digital 5.1 or 2.0, I could get sound to the tv. My dvd player does decode...
O.K I bought sony's dvd dru-500ax and the software bundle SonicMyDvd and Showbiz are horrible. Maybe I don't know what I'm doing, but I've had both programs lock up, and the video editing clips are painful to use. I do have a copy of Ulead's 5.0 that came with my firewire card, maybe I should...
A friend of mine bought one and I went to Wal Mart to put one on hold until I read more about the specs. His looked good, but I didn't see how it handled gaming, still less than 400.00 is the lowest I've seen for this size lcd. John
Hi there: I had my family's old 8mm video transferred to a dvd at a local a/v business. I recently bought the sony dvd burner(dru-500ax). It comes with sonic mydvd program. I would like to edit the dvd and break it into chapters instead of one continous video, but I don't think sonic my dvd...
I just installed a sandisk 6-1 media reader/writer that is usb 2.0. I have 4 usb 2.0 slots available and I think I downloaded the right 2.0 drivers from Asus. So is there a way to tell if it's not dropping back down to 1.1 usb? John
Well I decided to try this package for gaming on the pc. I was torn between the mx700 logitech, and grabbing a solo wireless keyboard. I opted for the microsoft bluetooth package. It has a greater range (30ft), as opposed to 6ft. Not a big deal, but I wanted to try to sit on the couch and surf...
I bought a sony dru-500ax today. I'm going to hook it up tonight. My dv camera has firewire so I've got that covered, but I need a capture card for my wife's parents camcorder. It has s-video and composites. I've researched ati's models, and they have a pci and usb model with a tv tuner. Any...
Man this frustrating. I bought an hp200i Sunday night, went out to dinner, and got home to open it up. Looks like it was already opened, but I didn't notice. Of course the dvd disc in the package is gone, but it looks like most everything else is there. So I'm off to best buy tomorrow for a...
I thought I'd look for updated drivers for my geforce cards, and was suprised that visiontek doesn't use nvidia anymore. I haven't paid attention much so I was curious if nvidia lost it's heavyweight belt? John
Hey, how does that linksys wet11 work? I want to be able to hook up two xbox's up at the house for 1 on 1 play. I only have satellite connection right now so internet is out of the question for the time being. But I would like to hook up two xbox's wirelessly. One is close enough to the router...
