The only problem with a fixed rate annuity, or bonds, or anything else like that right now is if we have massive inflation from all the money the fed has been printing. The more money supply out there, the less it's worth which causes prices to rise. The fed is printing trillions and eventually...
Do you have a blu-ray player? I don't care what the chart says, even at 15' away on my 50" 720p set I see a huge difference in blu-ray. Resolution isn't the only thing you notice on blu-ray.
I think what you want is for a receiver to 'overlay' like Dolby Pro-Logic IIx processing over a TrueHD or DTS-MA 5.1 track. I know there are some receivers that will matrix a 5.1 sound into 7.1, although I don't know which models do and don't.
Don't worry about your tv being only 720p, I have a 50" 720p Samsung plasma and I can't stand watching dvd's anymore, it's that much of a difference. As far as players go, it depends on if you want the new HD audio (Dolby TrueHD and DTS Master Audio) decoded on the player or on your receiver I...
Probably the speakers are set to "large," make sure the speakers are set to "small." Just wanted to emphasize what Ed said, I'll bet that's your issue.
If you watch the whole video of the Phoenix interview, he takes off his glasses, shakes Dave's hand and says "good job" at the end. I think it was a stunt. YouTube - Joaquin Phoenix On Letterman 2-11-09
It depends on what you are comparing it too. The Panasonic 65" plasma is going to have better blacks but it's like $2k more. It's up to you how much the difference is worth.
There's a lot more than just online video that could benefit from better speed. I work for a software company and I have to send large files all the time to folks. There's so much more that could be hosted and accessed remotely that can't be done as efficiently right now.
Not all servers are located in the same metropolitan area though. And the distance between those areas is much less in Japan and Korea. All Korean web servers could be within 300-400 miles of each other (tip to tip). In the U.S. that server you're accessing could be 3,000 miles away. Even if you...
Yes, in Japan and Korea they are heavily investing in their bandwidth. But think about the size of the countries, they are tiny compared to the U.S. Think about how much money it would take to run faster stuff throughout the U.S. However, once again those governments are spending billions to...
Yeah take whatever Def Tech says and add about 10-20hz to the low extension, they make good speakers but lie like crazy about how low they can go. You can do better for the money than Def Tech (specifically SVS and other internet-direct companies). From the Def Tech website: "The SuperCube I...
I'm surprised you chose the Samsung for a 150" screen. I didn't think it was bright enough for that large of a screen. A fantastic projector for sure, I just didn't know it could go that big and still be bright enough in it's best mode. You'll want something with a bunch of lumens in it's 'best'...
They are essentially the same as the Onkyo receivers with a few extra features thrown in for the custom install market. They are a solid company with a quality product.
Oh decisions decisions... You'll get as many opinions on this as posts in this topic However, the Onkyo TX-SR606 or Yamaha RX-V663 would be the receiver you'd want to get. Here's MY opinion on the speakers, and it's just one way to go. There's many speakers out there in this price...
As someone who has a friend with an Onkyo HTiB similar to this one, you will not find anything better at this price. Sure separate components are better but unless you can buy used or piece it together over time like the above poster suggests (that's what I did), the Onkyo system is the way to...
Oh, and yes you can just send the HDMI cable directly from the blu-ray player to the projector. Get your HDMI cables from monoprice.com. If for some reason you find yourself having not enough HDMI inputs on the projector, monoprice has inexpensive HDMI switches as well. As far as where to buy...
He wants 1080p, which means he'll need either a higher-end CRT projector (I don't think his will do 1080p) and find a way to strip the DRM off the blu-ray discs or just get a newer projector with HDMI and save some of the hassle.
I don't think it matters what type of technology you use today, they are all good and have pluses and minuses to each. Here are a few in your price range: Epson Home Cinema 6500UB Projector Review Panasonic PT-AE3000 Projector Review Mitsubishi HC7000 Projector Review There are others...
Or just stop watching those channels, and send them emails/letters telling them why you don't watch them anymore. Enough people do that, they'll take those logos off quicker than you can pick up the phone to complain. But it has to start with you. I don't have cable anymore because I don't...
Check out this link for reviews of the various subs we're talking about. Subwoofer review summary page ... From the AVS forum - Tweak City Audio The PC-12 isn't a bad deal, I'm sure you'll be happy with it. Elemental Designs may be a company you've never heard of, but believe me they are...
Don't know about your insurance company, but mine will pay what it takes for you to go out and buy a new tv, which would probably be in the $1500-2000 range for an 800u, considering you can't get the 600u anymore.
Definitely what Robert said. This is the bare minimum you should get http://av123.com/component/page,shop...art/Itemid,37/ The eD would definitely rock, it would be $50 extra well spent. Epik is another great choice, though they are all out of stock. Building your own would be the best if you...
