Hey Chuck, After reading your post I've spent some time looking into this with my TV in it's current environment. I have noticed what I think you're describing.. I notice it in two specific instances... 1) during the "Office" usually when Michael is talking to the camera with the window...

Hi all, I'm looking into purchasing a audio system for my HT. It is for movies and sports primarily and some tv. No gaming and not really music except for concerts on dvd and such. My room is 20'x12' with 7'2" ceilings. carpeted floor and the TV on the long wall. I'm doing a 5.1 system and...

Hi Jim, you seem to be talking about the "soap opera" effect that Nick mentioned above. it is the 120hz feature on LCD's. I originally bought a samsung LCD 640 that had this. okay for sports but for tv and movies... forget about it, IMO it looks like crap! I disliked what it did to movies -...

sorry for the delay in response here... been on vacation. I am waiting for some HDMI cables from Monoprice to show up in the next few days to test the Blu-ray / Flicker effect. I have some old dvd's lying around and watched them with my component cable hooked up and have not been able to...

Just bought the Panny 50in G15 and love it. All the above mentioned problems I had with my LCD are now (for the most part) gone! Still some issues with the "halo effect" around football players in the wide shots but it is barely noticeable and i mean barely. Must be the comcast signal coming...

I bought the Panasonic 50in G15 last night and am more than pleased with the picture! This tv is AMAZING!!! Thanks everyone for your insight and advice, with your help I feel I made the right choice! Thank you!

thanks MAN! great explanation both here and in the other thread I started about the subject. I doubt if I'll even notice and will probably just keep it engaged at the 60hz and let the 2:3 pull down works its job. Todd - I bought the Panny 50in G15 plasma last night... Holy Crap am I a happy...

solid point Greg. MAN - Thanks for the info. I started a thread in the Audio/Video sources to discuss the 1080/24p signal and what the heck it is and means. I'm hoping to get some clarification on this as to whether it is really a necessary feature or not as I haven't a clue. cheers!

Can somebody help me out with this please? I have been posting in a couple of threads and one thing has come up that I'm not sure about. 1080/24p signal. I've been looking at Panny G15 Plasma and Sammy 650 and 860 plasmas. Have decided to go with the Panny G15. The one knock on it in most...

Oh yeah and I should also mention, I watched some of a blu-ray of the 3rd Pirates of the Caribbean on a 58in G15 panny and went through the menu selections and couldn't figure out how to turn on the 48hz rate... And was watching a blue-ray on the 58in 860 and couldn't figure out how (or even...

I'm have been wondering the same thing. This feature along with the "Cinema Smooth" feature on the Samsung should be only available when a blu-ray or other such device is plugged into it. I have been doing my fair share of research online and feeli like i am driving both myself and my wife...

Anytime Todd! I've been dealing with your exact dilema so i know how frustrating these things can be. And not being close to a showroom is tough so you need to rely on as much info as possible. Which there is plenty online! Ed has a good point about the reflective screen, but plasma's are...

I have been contemplating this too for a while now. Just dropped into my local BestBuy and was told that the Samsung 650 Plasma has been discontinued but does not know the reason. He thought it was because next year's Samsung plasma's are coming out... Read in another forum that Amazon has...

No it was a different channel - baseball and football. I noticed again last night watching "Heroes" that the blurring effect is still there. This time extremely noticable in darker shaded areas.. like when there were semi-close ups of characters faces and they had shadows around eyes and...

for what it's worth, i bought a 46" samsung LCD LN46B640 and put it in my HT in my basement. Picture looks great. I'm in a lighting controlled environment and watch sports and primarily movies. However, after watching the Dodgers pummel the Cardinals the other night, I noticed more blurring...

Thanks for the advice thus far folks! In response to Ben....The LN46B640 Samsung LCD I have is advertised as a 120hz tv. Thanks again!

Ahhhh.... the eternal debate it seems - plasma vs. lcd. So I recently finished my basement Home Theatre and purchased my first HDTV flat screen - a Samsung LN46B640. Here's why: Not too expensive - I got it for $1299 at BBLiked the square lookDo not need lots of bells and whistles including...

thanks for some responses folks! yeah, the only reason I decided on the speaker placement near the ceiling was due to the fact that with floor speakers in front, walking space would be a bit limited. Plus, with dogs and kids... I didnt want to chance damaging nice speakers to curious little...

Hello all, I am a newbie to this forum and website and wish I would have found it before I completed my home theatre. :) I gutted my basement and turned it into livable space. While doing it, I decided to make it my little Home Theatre too. Wife said I could get a new TV as soon as I...
