There are TWO VERSIONS of the Pitch black re-release floating around that you should be aware of. One is the regular widescreen re-release and one is the Director's cut Non rated re-release. Normally I wouldn't care either but ONLY THE NON RATED VERSION IS IN DTS. The regular version is in plain...

Sil calls him Chrissy too, as did big puss when he was around.

BEST. EPISODE. EVER. Well maybe not ever, but definitely the best this season. Which is saying something because this season shaped up to be a real gas. When Adrianna broke down and told Christopher about the FBI, His facial expressions reminded me of Al Pacino in Godfather II when Kay told...

Ok this may be a stupid thing to post but here goes... Instead of watching The raiders get pummeled for four whole quarters last night (Monday) , I decided to watch wrestling for a bit (don't laugh) Anyway, I noticed a commercial for Scarface 20th anniversary DVD which said "buy it tuesday". Now...

Wait a minute! You're the one claiming great blacks and shadow detail. Please give me YOUR settings. My Contrast is at 53,brightness at 45. Color set to "cool". My Red, green , and blue sliders are all set at 50. These are my computer settings for progressive. My "video" settings are a little...

Sony Progressive scan 300+ 1 mega storage

Dig this...I got a component to VESA connection for my X1 today so I can watch progressive scan DVDs. After hooking it up, I noticed it is slightly clearer which is to be expected. I also noticed, however, that the black levels were not as good as they were with the component to svideo adapter...

Doug, Thanks for the link. I checked it out and it seems like a worthwhile option. However , you DID mention a number of other fixes you have heard of. Feel like passing them on?

I know there are a lot of people out there who can't decide between the Infocus X1 and Sanyo Z1 for an entry level FP. A week ago I was one of them. With that being said I'd like to throw in my own 2 cents being that I just spent a few days with each. I bought the X1 last sunday. I hooked it up...

Hi Guys, This is Matt again. After fiddling around with the X1 for a couple of days I still couldn't reduce the rainbows. I decided to quit whining and shoot for the Sanyo Z1. Well My Z1 is now here and guess what... I'm not all that impressed with it. I've only been messing with it for a couple...

Ok, I just bought an infocus X1 from best buy. After reading a LOT about this and the Sanyo Z1 I decided to go with the X1 only because I could physically pick it up at the store. (UPS and I have a slight difference in philosophy at the moment) Anyway, after reading a lot of reviews and what...

Can someone give me an educated guess when Plasma TVs will be affordable to the average joe? When I say affordable I mean 42' models going for $1300 or so with the bigger sets running at about $2500. Please don't insult my intelligence by telling me they won't. I've learned a few things here and...

Alright, the story goes like this: I stopped at my local Walmart to check out the new releases after work a few weeks ago. One hour photo was that weeks new release. To my astonishment, Neither of my local Walmarts were carrying the widescreen version of the film. To make matters worse, there...

Check this out. If anyone can figure this out please help. I have a HDTV hooked up to a Progressive DVD Player, and xbox, and a PS2. The DVD and XBOX look great. Especially XBOX which pumps out resolution up to 1080i. However,Only a few titles on PS2 support Progressive Scan. The one I'm...

Damn I love you guys! A newsgroup with knowledgeable adults and no flaming. Pinch me! Anyway, John was right. My box won't let me zoom a progressive signal. If I switch it to interlace I'm back in business. Secondly, Mike Reuben, I'm going to have to disagree with you. Newbieness aside, a 2.35:1...

yeah I dig the whole Zoom thing yet the image is still stretched horizontally. I did a little pepsi challenge with two different versions of "the crow" (One version non enhanced the other one enhanced) on two different DVD players. The difference was quite dramatic. BTW, an Ironic footnote to my...

Hey guys!This is my first post. I'm hoping one of you smart people will clear something up for me. I recently purchased a widescreen TV in October.Now I finally understand why aspect ratio is important , and I also understand why "Enhanced for Widescreen TVs" and "animorphic" are terms that I...
