Hi, I haven't post since my RPTV days and I still have the same RPTV almost 10 years now. I'm ready for an upgrade. I'm thinking about getting a Vizio 4k. How can I setup the smart apps audio to output to a 5.1 receiver? Here is my current setup. Directv to receiver, PS3 to receiver...

Should I get a edge lit LED or a back lit LED? Which brands should I look into for 55' range? Thanks.

Does anyone have any thoughts on the Sony HX850? I'm thinking of getting the 55".

Hi, I haven't post anything in a very long time. I'm thinking about replacing my beloved Panny 47 RPTV with a LCD LED panel, 55'-60" range. I need a matte screen because I get a lot of light in the room and the glare from the glass will drive me crazy. I would like to get your opinion on a Sharp...

Hi, I haven't been on HTF in a long time and don't remembered my last post. Back in the days, HTF was extremely helpful at helping me pick out a HDTV, which I still have and had it calibrated twice by Gregg. Due to the times, I want to take advantage of the bargains coming up, Black...

Hi, It's been a really long time since I visited the forums. WOW, the layout sure has change!!! I think that I'm finally thinking about upgrading my Panny 47 RPTV to a 1080p set. By the way, Gregg calibrated my Panny twice and it still looks great. I would ike to get a flat panel...

This is a basic article on THX Optimizer. It's pretty basic. Not as good as Avia and nowhere as good as ISF, but it's a start. http://www.hdbeat.com/2005/07/29/hdt...ne-dirt-cheap/

Hi, I would like to know if anyone has the Yamaha HTR-5860? Is it any good? Thanks!

I've been using a Panasonic amp with my home theater setup. Sometimes, at certain bass frequency, my left and right speaker's tweeters makes this bad buzz. I am using KRK's studio monitors for my 5.1 setup. I have replace both tweeters and replaced both crossovers in the speakers. I have also...

How do you clean the lenticular screen on a RPTV? Is there some kind of solution that you can buy to clean the screen? Or, do you just use a feather duster? Thanks.

Who is going to CES next week in Vegas? Jan. 6th-9th. There should be a larger turnout because it includes the weekend. For those who are going (count me in), what are you going to look for, content, media, DVR, HDTV's?? I am just trying to make my list on what to look out for...

Time Warner has a HD DVR out. It actually works. The HD recording is very clean. Has anyone else tried it? When are they going to release a firmware to fix the bugs?

Hi, I have Time Warner Cable in Orange County CA. I also have their HD package. Whenever Monday Night Football is on ABC HD, the picture gets out of focus for every 30 second or so. This only happens on Monday Night Football on ABC HD. All of the rest of the channels comes out fine. Have...

Hi, Over the weekend, the vacuum handle accidentally scratched my screen. Ironically, I had the anti glare screen remove with a full ISF calibration days before . If I were going to replace the lenticular as a do it yourself project, what should I be aware about before attempting? I...

Well, I had my Panasonic PT47X54 calibrated by Gregg Loewen. He mentioned how the tv was well built. He is truly a nice guy. He took about 4 hours to calibrate the set. The end result is, I am no longer using my big screen as a lamp. The picture looks more natural now. It takes...

Tomorrow I'm having my Panny 47x54 calibrated by Gregg. Finally, my day will come to meet the famous Gregg and to finally see the true performance of my set. For those of you who had your set calibrated by Gregg, what should I expect? I can't wait!!!

I am getting my set calibrated by Gregg this month. I was wondering, which DVD's should I watch after calibration. Which titles are a good reference to see the true value of ISF?

I was wondering if anybody can comment on the Denon 2805. I'm thinking about getting the 2805 because the right channel makes a buzzing noise on my Panasonic SA-HE200K receiver after an hour or so of use.

Hi, I need to start looking for a new receiver. I watch a lot of DVD's and HD shows. I want the receiver do all of the video switching. I use KRK Rokit studio speakers for my 5.1 system and have a Velodyne sub. I have a Denon DVD 2200 and a Panasonic 47x54. My budget is $500-$800 for a...

I finally got my replacement HDTV from Panasonic extended warranty. They upgraded me to the pt47x54 from a pt47wx42. I'm very impress with the tv. The picture looks amazing. It's like getting a new car. The TV still has that new factory smell :).

Hi, I heard that Costco is carrying Hitachi's HDTV (RPTV). I think they have a 50" that the model number ends with s12 and another one that ends with s13. Has anyone else seen these sets at their local Costco? Do you know the exact models? Is this a good deal? Thanks, Tim

I finally had enough with my PT47WX42. I filed a claim with Panasonic at trying to get my set replace. From my previous thread (Dimmer Panny 47), I stated that my set is a lot dimmer with 480i materials. I ruled out the s video cable and Time Warner came out to check their signal. Everything is...

My PT47WX42 to be a lot more dimmer now. It seems like it happened overnight because when I got home one day, few weeks ago, I noticed that the TV got dimmer all of a sudden, but I didn't think much of it. I am also noticing a lot more reds in the picture with stndard def cable, especially...

Hey, I know you guys will enjoy reading this. Great article on why Bose speakers are awful. http://www.intellexual.net/bose.html

What happens when a RPTV dies, how does one get rid of it? I mean, you can't put it out on the curb and expect for the trash man to take it away. What do you do with a 40++ tv?

I need to get some kind of lighting behind of my Panny 47. I like to watch TV in the dark, but its starting to stress my eyes. Have anyone found any solution for Kelvin lighting from somewhere like a hardware store?

I recently upgraded my DVD player to a Denon 2200. My cables are the bottleneck now. I really don't think that Monster Cables are worth it because you are paying for the marketing. I know that is a huge margin on Cables and it seems like I'm buying the name. I'm thinking about Mogami...

Has anyone try Mogami Cables for component video?
