    Am I on crack, or is INTERLACED better than PROGRESSIVE???

    Ok, I am sure that this has been discussed before, but alas, I would like some feedback. I have a JVC 16:9 I-Art HDTV that boosts that it can upconvert all signals. I have played DVD's with my Panasonic Prog. Scan player for awhile. Now, I was testing to see what it looked like without...

    Moving a RPTV in BAD WEATHER

    Hey gang I have a 48" JVC I-Art 16:9 HDTV and I am planning on moving to a new apartment this week. Problem: The weatherman is forcasting a 100% chance of "light rain" that day (DAMMIT!) What sort of preventative measures should I employ when moving this puppy? Thanks in advance.;)

    JVC Rear Projection? Upscaler better than progressive?

    Hey... I have a 48" JVC I-Art Rear projection 16:9 tv which apparently boasts that it "upconverts" all images to 1080i. Question, if my tv already does this, will the images be better than what I can get out of a progressive scan DVD player? I have tried both and they both seem equal...

    Speaker Wire question

    Hey there all. I am currently in the process of moving and may need to buy new speaker wire for my surround sound speakers. My current setup is quite a bit smaller than my new one at my apartment. I currently have 16 gauge wire for my rears, center and 2 mains. Now, the 16 gauge is very...

    Alias - 3/14/04 - Facade

    Thought the show was a HUGE IMPROVEMENT to last week's. Although a stand-alone episode (which I hate...what has happened to the serialized storylines?), it was tense and well-paced. And as for Jack going soft...the last 5 minutes alone shows the exact contrary...he rules! Despite my pleasure...

    FS: Pioneer LD player and movies

    I'm interested in the player only. Are you wanting to sell everything at once or would you be willing to part with just the player. Does the player have SVHS and is it a side flipper? Thanks Craig

    List your top ten movies of the year so far.

    Yeah...its nice to see someone put DOWN WITH LOVE in their list. This film was just perfect in its execution...too many people just did not get the spirit that this film was aiming for.

    List your top ten movies of the year so far.

    I don't think its right to complile a top ten list yet...there's a month of films left! Plus...its not very objective to put films on your list if you have not seen them...no matter how good you may think they are going to be: For the record...no one put OWNING MAHOWNEY on their list...a...
