    calibrating

    is there any one who knows how to calibrate an MT-800 toshiba or 7205 infocus. I really don't want to pay $1000.00 to have someone come set all my levels in 30 min.

    HTPC audio question

    I just found out about HTPC 2 day's ago and I like what I hear as far as video playback and scaling. but my question is if I go this route. Do I still need an AVR. Or Will the PC properly set up, handle all video and audio decoding. Thanks for any help.

    scalers

    is there a video scaler out there for under 2k that will out perform the scalers that come in the runco cl710 or sharp 12k. or would I have to go to the 3or4k range to see a significant difference.

    scalers

    is there a better video scaler for under 2k, than the one that would come in a runco cl710 or sharp 12k. or would you need to spend 3to5k to get a better picture than what these projectors would produce with quality calibration.
