    Design suggestions for my simple HT

    thanks for the suggestions guys especially the backlight, definately will keep that in mind, so Jay you're saying that with my rough 7' viewing distance I can go with an even bigger set? btw how's my speaker placement? should that sub by where it is, and it should be facing the wall correct?

    007: EON on HDTV

    I read from some other board that this game is not compeletely done in 480P, in fact on the driving levels and some of the FMV's are so it switches between 480i and 480P if this is the case then that really blows, anyways if any of u videophiles get the game plz confirm thanks

    Component cable that supports 1080i

    I think my current component cable is not able to handle 1080i properly, causing a slight yellow tint when I scale the output from my DVD player to 1080i should I get those ultra expensive Monster cables at Bestbuy? do those have enough bandwidth to support 1080i?

    PLEASE Help !Enter the Matrix 1080i problem

    Overscan, more to do with TV or DVD player

    I've noticed that all the movies I've been playing on my 16:9 HDTV have a small part chopped off on the left and right side no matter what the aspect ratio the movie is in, when it projects onto the screen it gets cut also since I'm running progressive scan, I can't change the aspect ratio on...

    HDTV - DirecTV or OTA?

    how does a OTA HD reciever work, can you just hook it up to any regular old antenna and it'll work and how's reception? do you get snow/distortion or a pristine image when in the right position, otherwise no image at all
