    Quick question: Why are you supposed to let a RPTV warm up to room temp upon arrival

    I've read this a few times here as a forewaring and when speaking to a few different salespeople they also said the same thing. At the time I didn't ask why but I am now. So whats the real reason :)

    51H84: Should I have any final reservations?

    Ok. Is there something I could search for or something that explains convergence in a little detail before I get the set?

    51H84: Should I have any final reservations?

    Thanks Ryan, I ended up ordering it last night online. I just couldn't justify the extra $400 buying it locally. I may think twice later ;) but it's my choice and I'll have to live with it. But lets be positive here ;) One thing of note that I think I will do no matter what is. The guy...

    51H84: Should I have any final reservations?

    I wish they were like you JohnnyG. I guess the whole internet e-tailer thing is what probably did the deal in. But I can't blame them. In an area like ours where there is no competition the next guy will buy the set I would have purchased at a discount at full price.

    51H84: Should I have any final reservations?

    Thanks Ryan, I actually did that the night before. I will give give the BB guys credit because they tried like heck to convince their manager to do the match. Unfortunately BB was the only place in my area that even had this TV in stock and they had to send it from their warehouse. They...

    51H84: Should I have any final reservations?

    Here's my situation. Onecall's price delivered to my house w/3yr service warranty is $1613.10. BestBuy's price right now is $1699 + $76.45 tax + $249 warranty = $2024 Even with 10% off it's $1529 + $68.80 tax + $249 warranty = $1846. Almost $233 difference. Now I know the service...

    51H84: Should I have any final reservations?

    Thanks Michael Thats my only reservation on this purchase. Being able to return it. But I belive the only reason I'd return it would be because I don't like the set. I've checked it out, I like the picture, read nothing but great stuff about this set. BestBuy is the closest of all stores that...

    51H84: Should I have any final reservations?

    I've decided to purchase the Toshiba 51H84 from my readings here. I want to thank everyone for the information they shared. Now my question is. I want to order from OneCall.com. They are offering the set for $1454 total as opposed to BBs $1699(before tax). Is this a fair price for this set or...

    Just bought my first RPTV: Toshiba 51H84

    Well Best Buy wouldn't match their price. I figured they wouldn't, especially in our area. The guy tried like heck to get his manager to match the price. But in the end the guy even agreed that it would be crazy not to get it from them. No tax, no shipping, and not to mention much cheaper.

    Just bought my first RPTV: Toshiba 51H84

    I checked Onecall and their finaly delivery price is $1454. The 3 year warranty is $159. They are an authorized dealer. They'd ship from WV (I'm in VA) and there are 4 local authorized repair shops (pray I wouldn't need to use that) No tax and free shipping so the final price for me would be...

    Just bought my first RPTV: Toshiba 51H84

    I'm looking at this TV also. BB has this right now for $1699 on their website. I thought it was a bit high but if you PMed at 1799 this must be a great price.

    New Samsung 26" HDTV

    I agree. I'm glad it's finally going in the smaller direction. I'm lucky enough to have both Crutchfield stores within an hour of me so I'll check these out. As far as price. Once someone else carries this tv it'll be cheaper. Crutchfield charges a premium but their service is top notch. On a...

    Extended Warranties on RPTV's

    We got it on our 36" CRT. Paid for itself within the first 2 days. Tech had to come out and adjust the voltage as the picture was blurry. I asked how much this visit would have cost us and he said around $150. 4 year service plan was $100. Also I've always wondered why people say if there is...

    Hold off til 03 models arrive? 02 summary

    Although TVs aren't my thing I have found that it's similar to the PC market. If you keep waiting for the next latest and greatest, you'll be waiting forever. Something new and improved will always be coming out. I understand it's hard not to look forward to whats new and what features might be...

    Sony Wega blurry areas

    Our 36" Toshiba had a similar problem but it wasn't like these dark spoltches. The bottom portion of the screen was blurry with text. A Tech came out and adjusted the voltage and everything cleared right up. Hope that leads you in some direction.

    Is Avia coming out with an updated disc?

    Maybe it was VE I heard about. I have the S&V disc and am curious as to how it compares to Avia as far as video calibration. If I find a good deal somewhere on Avia I want to pick it up but if they are coming out with a new disc I would have waited.

    Got our calibration disc. Now I'm really confused. Help

    I know this is a nitpick but is there any way to reduce the reflectivity of a flat screen? My PC monitor has a anti-glare coating on it and I don't pick up hardly any light reflectivity behind me. btw for those interested here is the one we ended up getting Saturday...

    Home Page Problem

    I wonder if any Admins have read this or been notified. Not sure if they read here often. But I'm sure as I believe most use IE for their browsing.

    Home Page Problem

    I came here to post the same problem. Glad to know it wasn't just me. It does this using IE 5.5 but works fine when I load with netscape 4.8. Haven't tried any other browser.

    Got our calibration disc. Now I'm really confused. Help

    We only have an S-Video hookup but using that we can't get either to work. I'm not sure we'd use it very often but might be nice to use it if need be.

    according to the manual it goes cable in to ANT1 of tv then coax out of tv to cable in of Cable box. Then Cable out of box to ANT2 of tv Says you have to use just standard cable on ANT1 to view lower tier channels then Switch to ANT2 to view upper tier (digicable). Sounds weird to me but...

    Got our calibration disc. Now I'm really confused. Help

    Well I have some good news, finally. Went down Saturday to discuss if an exchange could be made. Manager said no problem, we have 2 in stock and will hold it for you when you bring it back tomorrow. Loaded everything up and when we walked in there was a 36AF42 box at the front. Well it was...

    Got our calibration disc. Now I'm really confused. Help

    I'm by far no expert on this issue but even if this were turned on my DVD player. When watching normal TV the images themselves shouldn't be as dark as they are especially with brightness as high as it is. I'll let you guys know more once I see a 2nd set.
