How long a wait would that be? I'm in no hurry now, but I'd like to get one this year.

I have a 108 inch front projector in my vacation home, but nothing in my regular home. I'm not looking for something as big as 70 inches. My question is, if I buy something now will prices drop more than usual in the next few months or are there new tvs that perform better going to be coming...

I was going to buy a HD display before the US Open tennis tournament, but decided against it as there weren't many good 1080p displays out. I now have a playstation 3 and want to play games and watch my few blu-ray movies in HD. I would also connect my PC for gaming and movies/tv shows and of...

I saw these 3 reviews, but I'm still confused about what is the best one for my needs. The reviewer seems to prefer the Sony to the Samsung, but he doesn't mention response times. I also haven't seen any information on the Toshiba. I don't want to buy a tv based on the name alone. I'd really...

I'm trying to decide among these 3 choices: Sony KDL-40XBR2, Samsung LNS4096D, and Toshiba 42LZ196. I can't really find any info on the Toshiba, and don't know how to decide which of these tvs to buy. All have 1080p resolution and claim to have deep black levels, accurate colors, and fast...

Right now I'm right back to where I was before the US Open started, which is with nothing. I feel like the entire industry is working against letting me buy a good high definition tv that I can watch HD content on. This tv is a very large purchase and I as much as I would have loved to have...

I know the US Open starts tomorrow. I'm trying to find a direct tv package so I can pick which match I want to watch. I went out to sound advice and they had a 50 inch Elite plasma with a blue ray DVD playing that looked awesome. I mainly wanted to see what 46" looked like to see if it would be...

I think you're right. It looks like 1080p plasmas and lcds will start coming out in greater number next year, and I'm not comfortable spending $7,000 + on a tv without reading any reviews or seeing it in action. I'd still really like to watch the US Open in HD, so what do you think about this...

How does the Sharp 57" compare with the Samsung 57"? I'd really like to get a nice tv to watch the US Open this year, and I was about to go to the store to see if any of these models can be seen there.

When I go to their website they don't say which channels they offer. It just has some general description of how great HD is and some samples of channels they have. I already use comcast for my internet and cable, and I have 2 replay tvs and a tv tuner on my computer so it would be easier for me...

I'm sorry to be such a pain, but this is a huge purchase for me and I want to buy the right tv. On the cnet specifications for the Samsung, it says under Video Systems "Supported DTV Resolutions # 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i." Does that mean when the cable/satelite starts showing tv at 1080p I won't...

So right now there is nothing else in the 55-60 inch range that is flat screen and can be mounted on the wall that can display 1080p? I looked at the PRO-FHD1 on the pioneer website and it is listed under monitors, not tvs, which I thought was strange. I looked at the preview for it on cnet...

I started out asking about LCDs in another thread, but thought I'd start a new one for plasmas. I know I want 1080p, but don't know how to figure out which models have the best picture quality or usable features. Are the newer models really worth the extra money? Unless there is some kind of...

I do have quite a bit of ambient light in my viewing room, which is kind of pain to control because I have to close 5 sliding doors to get the room dark. That's fine if I'm making watching tv a big event like for a tennis major or a movie, but its a big pain if I just want to sit down in there...

I think I understand the basics of high def viewing, but all these choices and technologies are very confusing. I'd appreciate help into which 1080p model produces the best picture quality. I'm going to get either an Xbox or Playstation 3, both of which have hdmi cables and can run at 1080p, and...

I didn't realize that the price difference was so great. Now I'm thinking I should get a plasma after all. I'll be sitting 12 feet from the tv. What plasma would you suggest that has the best picture quality and would minimize burn in?

I considered the other technologies, but I have to have it hanging on the wall. Right now I have a tapestry in my living room that I want replaced with a tv. I measured it and a 56 inch screen would be perfect. I went to best buy yesterday and couldn't really feel any heat coming from the tvs...

I'm fully aware that 1080p looks much better than standard television, I've seen those promotional displays in the store and they look great. My question is why is 1080p the limit for how high a resolution any tv or source input for video can go? I sometimes play pc games at a higher resolution...

A 56 inch LCD would be perfect for my room. I don't want to get a plasma because of the burn in issues as well as the fan noises and heat. In another thread, Alon Goldberg said "All major manufacturers will be releasing 1080p models in September, such as the new Sharp Aquos D90U Series and Sony...

I don't understand why the tv resolution is limited to 1080p, and why we are limited to that particular reolution. Right now a lot of high def shows are being shown only in 720p, which is a lot lower resolution, yet its called the same thing as 1080p (high definition). I guess what really...

I think the Sony VPL-VW100 is one of the best in that price range. I just bought one myself. Here are some reviews http://www.ultimateavmag.com/videoprojectors/206sony2/ http://www.cnet.com.au/projectors/0,...htm?ref=search

So there's no chance of having any before Christmas? I really wanted to have my home theater setup by then. What exactly does early 2007 mean? I've been waiting since early this year to get it. Once this new format or whatever is out, will that be the last thing I'll have to wait for for a long...

Wow, thanks for the quick reply. What exactly does DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD mean? Is it some new sound standard? Its very confusing to figure all this stuff out. Is there a website or anything that has info on upcoming receiver and other home theater products to be released? I know that Denon...

I just went to sound advice and was shocked when I saw an A/V receiver with 4 HDMI inputs for $1500 that has upconversion and 7.1 channels. I almost bought the Denon 4306 but decided to wait cause I won't need it till September. The guy at the store said that the Pioneer VSX-84TXSi was better...

What is the time frame on the HDMI 1.3 and the HD DVD and Blueray settling down? I want to have a home theater setup this Christmas.

Pinky and the Brain was by far the best of the ones you mentioned. It have very cleaver writing and was a very good show. Other shows I really liked were ducktales, mighty max, and gargoyles.

I want to wait to see which format wins out. I don't want to own the new betamax. I don't understand how the copy protection system works, and I don't want to spend $1,000 on a player and then get copy protection errors whenever I try to back up my stuff. I recently bought a DVD recorder and...

I've read a few things about copy protection with these new HDMI cables and am confused about it. If I get HD cable or satelite and a recorder will I be able to burn shows to a DVD and watch it on my tv? What if I record shows and want to use the upconversion feature, will it work? What exactly...

Before you said about the B&W's that "They're good speakers, but you lose the top-end of the sound spectrum (10khz to 20khz) if you run them in dipole mode. Some people really don't like this, but others don't really care. Bottom-line: they are good speakers that will match your fronts, but you...

First off, thank you for helping me so much already. I'm spending a lot of time and money on this theatre, I'd rather pay a little more if it means better sound. I went to the SVS website and only see one type of speaker, the other 2 are dimmed and it says are coming out later. When I click on...
