Hope someone can sift through this and get us the truth one way or the other. Hence the ?? in the title.
Answer: Very likely. http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20060623-7121.html http://www.extremetech.com/article2/...1980865,00.asp Not too many ways to sugarcoat this or make excuses if these figures are even in the ballpark. I wouldn't want to go to Vegas on those odds. ;)
I have an amazing deal for this and it's RF base in my backpocket. I'm casually sifting through the market of universal remotes, in general. All advice, input, tips, you name it...appreciated! :) I may consider jumping up to the 850 or so for the PC progamming option...
Here's the story: I'm wondering how much, if any, benefit/point there is me buying any processor given that my display is "only" a Sony KD34XBR960 Direct View tube. It is ISF calibrated. Equipment would be: Onkyo DV-SP 1000 (I know that both the DVDO and this share the SIL-504...
I’m truly speechless today after my ISF calibration experience yesterday at the expert hands of one Chad Billheimer. http://www.hdtvbychadb.com/ That’s Chad’s home web page that details who he is and what kind of services he offers. I can’t implore anyone even remotely in, or near the...
I'm looking at upgrading from a lowly 32 inch Zenith HD CRT tube, the c32v37. My viewing distance is negotiable and flexible. On one hand, I'm seriously considering the Sony KD-34XBR960, a reference widescreen HD Tube that would give me arguably one of the best PQ's on the market and give...
I've been pouring over specs and prices. I've seen both TV's and have been blown away by the PQ on both. I've been getting some conflicting information about the differences between these two Sony HD CRT tube sets. Can someone break these down for me? I hope some owners come forward as...
I've been getting a lot of differing views on this. When I upgrade my display here in the next several months, I'm looking at about a 10 foot viewing distance. I was thinking 60 inches would probably be quite sufficient if I go DLP, LCD, or LCOS. Any thoughts on this, one way or the...
A story linked from slashdot stated that "most" 720p DLP sets out there only are converting one half of the 1080i stream to create a 720p signal. From the original article here:
Any thoughts or opinions?
I'm really excited about these and I could easily see myself getting one this summer when they come out. I'm counting on you folks to devil's advocate me to the moon in the meantime. ;) AWESOME!! 1080p DLP Hotness is a go!
Any cons? One thing that bothers me on some of these new TV's is...
NOTE: I have NOT installed the new firmware yet for this unit. Wow. I may have a very serious problem with my 630. Out of nowhere, starting tonight, it's decided that it likes to shut itself from on to standby after 60-75 seconds. Max. I even took the batteries out of the remote on the off...
You'll love this. I think you'll understand what the tug of war here is as soon as you click the link. Which would you choose, and why? http://store.acousticsounds.com/sear...chText=Steiner
I'm really becoming concerned with the heated rumors and such that basically say that Sony is going to drop out of SACD support in the near future to concentrate fully on the HD-DVD vs. Blu-Ray war. Here are some quick links for discussion that provided further links. In these threads, we...
I'm seriously considering taking the Hail Mary shot on this Onkyo 1000. I can get it for $1675 legit authorized, $40 3 day shipping, and $90 for a 4 year extended warranty. I'm debating between this, the Denon 3910, and the Pioneer 59 which I can get for about $989, also legit. The trick...
Great confusion seems to be surrounding these two things...and now its made me confused. I've tried searching other forums and all, but I just really want two very straightforward, blunt, and simple definitions for these two terms and the appropriate use. If this has already been done, then...
WOW! MSRP of $749! This is a contender for sure if they can get it out in a timely manner. I keep hearing anywhere from November 2004-February 2005. I never want a rushed, unfinished product, but it behooves Yamaha to get this thing out in as timely a manner as possible, in lieu of Denon...
This new unit looks extremely hot on all levels. I was wondering if anyone here got one and had any thoughts about it. Also, does anyone know about this e-tailer named Authorized Electronics? They sure have some nice prices. See:http://store.yahoo.com/authorizedele...dedvinst1.html
http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showt...93#post4247193 A friend of mine really is looking for help with this. I'll copy and paste his words here. Just bought a BenQ 8220, and I couldn't be happier with it, but I'm seeing what I can only describe as "grain" in black, or dark, areas of the...
Well, I received my level 4 Y black combo yesterday, installed, and have run it through some paces. UTTERLY BEYOND WORDS IN AMAZING! They are connected to an HK 630 and everything is thrown to large. The sub is around 80 on crossover which I find, thus far, to be quite sufficient. I'd say...
Well, largely in thanks due to you all, I have my finalists listed and, due to budget constraints, it's literally going to come down to me flipping a coin to see which I take the first shot on for a demo (thanks to 30 day policies.) Conditions: Music and HT both very important. 20 foot by 12...
ok, as part of Circuit City's 5hour specials, receivers are 20% off until 4pm. For example: Onkyo 502 : $215 Onkyo 601 : $359 HK 230 : $359 and so on! Oh this is ONLINE only. But you can purchase online and pick up in store. It looks like just about any receiver is up on this.
As part of Circuit City's 5 hour web specials, all speakers are 25% off today until 4 p.m. This is ONLINE only but product can be purchased online and picked up in store.
I'd rather suck in a little pride then make some dumb mistakes. Last night I won a direct from HK refurbed HK 630. This is my very first "real" HT. I am graduating from years of HTIB. Keeping that in mind, inevitably, I am going to need to buy some new speakers. Now, I am used to having...
I might make a move at ecost pretty soon on one of these. Not really sure what the differences are between them. Some have even said the 2200 is better.... Thoughts?
