I have a friend who has a chance to upgrade his 4-yr-old 50" rear projection HDTV with yet another 4-yr-old 65" rear projection HDTV for $800. Even though the price is "cheap" for such a large TV, my gut feeling is that this is a horrible decision. Sure, the TV was nice four years ago, but it...

I've got the Panasonic TH-50PX80U. I read on another forum that plasmas have a much greater power consumption than LCDs. I'm running mine through a surge protector, which is also running a 500W receiver, a powered sub, a cable box, and a DVD player. Occasionally a Gamecube and a light is plugged...

I got a Panasonic plasma, TH-50PX80U, and I'm going to hook my computer up to it to play some games. As the title says, I'm running the Geforce 8800 GT, BFG over clocked version. It has two DVI outputs, but the TV doesn't have a DVI input. I'm ordering a DVI > HDMI cable, but for tonight I want...

I finally got an HDTV. Panasonic Viera TH-50PX80U. Now I'm wondering what all of you who buy these super-thin TVs are doing with their center channel speaker. I used to just set mine on top of the TV, but that's impossible now. Too precarious. I've got a low-end paradigm center channel speaker...

I've got my George Bush stimulus check, and I want a TV. I'm going to be watching at about 10-12 feet. I'd like something between 40"-50." I prefer plasma, but I'm open. What I really want is the best contrast ratio, color saturation, color accuracy, and minimum motion blur and/or juddering...

I don't keep up with this stuff as well as I should--my available funds for upgrading don't really justify it. I bought a used Pioneer 563A over a year ago, waiting patiently for better universal players to drop in price. But the BM is really starting to bug me with this player. Should I go...

Don't buy this! The music sounds okay (though there is no 5.1 mix), but Chris Cornell sounds horrible! I can't believe they released something with vocals this bad. He literally struggles to stay in tune, and cannot sing even the easy stuff right. I love Chris's studio performances--he's...

I was just curious, given that Iran wants to build and use one against us. Are there any communication devices (CBs, walkie-talkies, etc.) that would work in the event of an EMP (electromagnetic pulse) weapon attack?

Okay, I've finally jumped on the hi-rez bandwagon with a used 563a (purchased from this site, thanks Curtis!). I have only one DVD-A (Yes, Fragile) and one SACD (DSOTM) so far. Both of these sound amazing, with plenty of bass. So after reading through old posts here, I'm confused about the bass...

I need some small, cheap speakers for my kitchen, operating as my "B" speakers so I can listen to music while I cook, brew beer, etc. without blasting my mains. I'd have to turn my mains up too loud to hear them well in the kitchen--plus, I want to hear music in stereo, not some 'bounced around...

I've heard Floyd's quadraphonic surround sound during the '94 tour, but can DD 5.1 be used in the same way? Given that it was developed for home theaters (I assume), does this question even make sense? I read an interesting discussion on this topic recently, and some participants claimed...
