Wow, I was going to be all over that...but I checked on it and that box set only includes 4 of the 12 remastered cd's, with room to store the other 8. BTW, its only 29.99 on the best buy website. Anybody that got the new Metalogy cd/dvd set care to post their review of it?
Can anyone confirm or deny the centering of the test patterns? Some earlier posts suggested they were off center again. One of the primary reasons for me to get this disk is to have 16x9 test paterns for adjusting geometry. Thanks
I had about the same budget when I upgraded about 5 months ago. I went with a Pioneer Elite 530...and couldn't be happier with my decision for a lot of reasons. And now with the new models around the corner, you should be able to get the next size up, a 630 and still be within your budget. I...
A sound meter is the only way to set up you DD/DTS sound. It allows you to precisely set the volume level of each speaker so that your imaging is proper, and you don't have an overly loud or soft center channel or subwoofer. It can't be done by ear(at least not by anyone I know), you will be...
Well heres my .02 and a few random thoughts. Pioneers are generally regarded as having one of the best stretch modes, if you are going to be watching a lot of SD tv. However at a 299 price difference and only deciding between those two models, and if you are going to primarily watch HD and...
How did it go Dave?? I am not familiar with the Zenith specificly, I just pasted those instructions from elswhere. I assumed the 3 and 4 instructions would unlock additional adjustments. Those instructions may have been for a different model of Zenith, if you can find and adjust what you...
It should be a good enough reason for an exchange if possible. And should be covered under warranty, if not. However, if you want to try and fix it yourself...... Yes there should be a "hidden" menu. Before you access it, I want to warn you, do NOT change any values of anything you don't...
I would guess its an overscan problem which could be corrected by adjusting vertical size in the service menu. edit: This is assuming you have been through the user menu, and there is no type of zoom enabled or other picture size corrections that can be adjusted there. Also, make sure Dtv...
Rikk, at least let us know what you plan on viewing. i.e., 70% SD, 10% HD, 20% DVD? or something similar. As an example if you plan to watch a lot of SD material, you will want a set with a good line doubler, and stretch modes like a Pioneer 533. If you only plan on watching DVD's and HD...
What do you mean by "spazzes out", if its just the image getting darker, when was the last time the screen was taken off to give the lenses and mirror a cleaning? Might just be a nice layer of dust causing the dark image.
I was just in the same postion, and went with the Pioneer 530. It seems that Sony and Pioneer have the best stretch modes and line doublers, maybe giving the edge to the Pioneer, but its significantly pricier and has a smaller screen. What made my decision, is all the problems people seem to...
Well guys, you didn't do a good enough job! The elite is being delivered later this week. Went with my wife to Tweeter today, and her jaw dropped to the floor when I showed her the set I was thinking of. I had shown her some the other models I had been thinking of earlier (Sony and Mitsu)...
Yeah, I have since ruled em both out, and am now thinking of a Pioneer, I don't want to worry about flicker problems, and the pioneer by most accounts produces a very nice picture and zooms standard 3:4 as well as any, and I can't find anyone experiencing any major bugs or common problems with...
You would think it would be fairly easy to choose a RPTV! But it seems just about every Manufacturer has some glaring problem and one has to make compromises. I have been a loyal Sony fan for what seems like forever, so I thought it would be an easy choice for me to choose one of their...
Pardon my ignorance, but its been a long time since I have perused this forum, so long in fact that my orginal account was auto-deleted for inactivity! :rolleyes:I had been a member since about 1996 and have now had to re-register. Anyway, I had gotten my HT setup pretty much to my liking...
This type of question has been asked a bunch of times before, and although I have run a search, I didn't come up with anything comparing these 2. Sony KP-51WS500 51 inch Mitsubishi WS-55311 55 inch I can get either for about the same price, however the mitsubishi is the low end of the...
