    DVD cleaning kits?

    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"...

    New LCD FP - break-in period?

    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...

    projector stands?

    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...

    Component Cable - Brand vs, Brand?

    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...

    Avia 1999 - newer version?

    Given all of the newer technology, this sounds old to me. Anything newer, better, easy to use?

    LCD FP component vs. s-video?

    Da-Lite screens pull-down vs. electric mechanisms?

    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...

    HD vs. Standard component inputs

    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...

    Another RPTV choice - advice?

    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...
