Good comparison... How did the two compare on the Avia resolution test? Eli

It's a tough call, I went through the same thing myself... I actually had the Hitachi home and ended up returning it because it was not without issue. As you will find out by reading the forums each manufacturer has its own set of shortcomings and selecting an RPTV comes down to which...

While I can not argue that the Hitachi has a superb DVD picture quality, It must be said that it does not do somethings as well as the Toshiba (Stretch Modes) Both sets are not without flaws and I personally optioned for the $ savings and the quirks of the Toshiba.. Eli

Thanks JohnnyG, So basically we are saying that the fact that the HDX's are low is not either good or bad, it is just matter of fact. It is not that they are not capable of producing a bright picture, they are just being set this way from the factory. Correct? And you are saying a...

Yeah, I suspect gray scale would be off... But I think this goes beyond gray scale. I am curious to why these sets are darker in general? Of course I only have seen one, my own... But every complaint I have seen on these sets all centers around darkness... Does anyone have one of these...

So the question is why? And if you make those types of changes during calibration (60 contrast, 60-70 brightness) are you tasking the television too much? DanEli

Can anyone shed some light on the Toshiba's *HDX82 picture being so dark? The biggest complaint I have heard from these sets (including myself) is the Picture losing shadow detail. I guess this is mostly corrected after a calibration, but what was Toshiba thinking? My understanding is the H82...

In Short the modes to use are as follows: Full mode: Anamorphic DVD Theater Wide 1: 4x3 Theater Wide 2: Cropped Anamorphic DVD (get rid of upper and lower black on higher aspect ratios) Theater Wide 3: Don't use it much Natural: Gray Bar 4:3 or Full Screen HIGH Def DanEli

When I first noticed it I thought it was normal... Horizontal flickering type noise on the lower IRE patterns. I then noticed the "bumps" in the Avia convergence screens. Every vertical line in screen appears to have bumps in it. A closer look makes the lines appear that way due to noise. I...

It's a Panasonic CP72K. The 5 Disc Changer version of the pannie's most popular RP82. It is connected to the TV via AR component cables. Oh, that is another thing I tried a different set of component cables and got the exact same results.... DanEli

Gregg, Thanks for the reply... Yes, I am seeing the issue in normal DVD viewing but not until the Avia screen pointed it out... I sent you an e-mail with the pic... DanEli

I tried posting this to other forums with no success so if some of you have read this I apologize for the repeat.... I noticed on my 57HDX82, when viewing the Avia 20-30 IRE gray fields there is a fair amount of distortion in the picture (it almost appears to be flickering). Trying to analyze...

Thanks everyone for the tips... Actually I am the type who likes to understand the way things work, do some things myself, and hire a professional to do the things I am incapable of doing. I do plan on getting a calibration, but thought? Why not tinker in the meantime... I played with...

Can someone tell me which of the below service mode settings would be for adjusting the Color decoder on my Hitachi 57SWX20B? I would like to remove the red push... Thanks ISF Mode Settings RGBOUT0 SUB-BRT G-DRV-H G-DRV-M G-DRV-S R-DRV-H R-DRV-M R-DRV-S R-CUT-H R-CUT-M...

I have called several Hitachi service techs in hope of a straight answer to the question... Some had no clue as as to what I was talking about, others knew a little more but still were not familiar with the function. Definitely a difference in talent when calling around. Hitachi...

Hello All, I am extremely embarrassed that I have to be writing this post, but I am in desperate need of some help... I was in the Service Menu on my 57SWX20B and accidently performed a Memory Init Can anyone tell me exactly what parameters this modified? I am assuming that this took...
