Anyone have any recommendations for DVD cleaning kits/products? In catalogs, I have seen a product that is like a stick for filling scratches. Wondered if such would really do anything. I am most interested in products for cleaning but also occasionally purchase the odd "previously viewed"...
I think I read in the calibration posts that RPTVs require multiple calibrations while they experience a break-in period when new. I assumed this applied to all DLP and LCD RPTVs. If correct, does it also apply to LCD FPs? I just received my first FP yesterday - WOW - :D Waiting for my...
I hope someone else has wrestled with this issue. Projector will not be permanently installed, only come out for use (mostly DVD). Ideally, I want a projection height of about 60". I have been looking for stands and even considering building something. One thing I found on the net...
I must not be the only one who is (or has) wrestled with the decision of which brand of cables to purchase. My existing system uses a combination of Monster 3 (&2)component, optical, S-video and RCA based on source and priority. Now I am adding a projector and need a longer 30' component...
Any recommendations for component video cable vs. S-video for use with an LCD(3) FP? Will I see a difference with this projector? For DVD use, no HD signal available yet. "Hitachi Home 1" and cable needs to be 9-10 meters. Projector specs.: 854x484 native res (max 1280x1024) 700 lumens...
Does anyone have any experience with these screen mechanisms? I am planning to get one but cannot decide if the electric mechanism is worth the extra money. I do not know how they compare in terms of durability, dependability, and longevity. I can get the pull-down Model C 58x104 for about...
Do HD component inputs require HD sources? Is DVD considered HD? Even if it is not progressive scan? My DVD player (Toshiba SD-4700)refers to Progressive Conversion but I think this has to do with content frames per second. One of the RPTVs I am considering has only HD component inputs and I...
I have read the other thread and suspect that the choice has more to do with the individual use parameters. I am hoping someone will help me weed through based on my usage. First, I should mention that I am probably giving up on the projector. As much as I want the really big screen, my room...
