Ok, so, it’s not just me. I love the movie, but I too was getting the ‘crosstalk’ effect a bit much. It wasn’t overwhelming, but it would have been more enjoyable without it certainly. Avatar did this some too. I picked up Prometheus yesterday and it had virtually zero ‘crosstalk.’

Well, when Best Buy sold out online; it swayed me to find a ST50 elsewhere and I pulled the trigger. So far, I’m pretty impressed! I suppose I might describe it as have richer color vs. vibrancy of the LCD from what little chance I’ve had to view them at home with some generic calibration...

Ok, I’m holding you personally responsible for steering me off the Samsungs and that may be a good thing or bad thing LOL. Seriously, I see that Oklahoma County is where the Class Action suite was filed against Samsung over the capacitor ordeal and I’m living in Oklahoma City – I never heard of...

I have to share this: http://shop.panasonic.com/shop/model/TC-P50ST50 ‘Editor’s Choice CNet’ LOL Ok, so – what’s the verdict on this one...

Yeah, I cited the wrong website I guess. What would you consider to be a ‘reputable’ website to reference? I mean, they clearly state that plasma rules for budget screens on that site even. I just don’t know. If I went with a plasma for around $1k what would be the best out there? Panasonic?

It wasn’t Cnet btw – it was PC Magazine that I was referencing. I’m really torn now at what to believe: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2387377,00.asp

Yes, very cool! In my case; I can browse through my collection on my laptop while the current video is playing on the television/home theater sound system and make my next selection. I prefer to pick them ‘randomly’ instead of making playlists – so, this is the perfect setup for me. The thing...

Mine does everything that a regular second monitor does; extend, duplicate, etc.

What? How is it not LED? LED 'Edgelit' LCD?

I can tell my new LED Flatpanel is on the flimsy side compared to my old set for sure. I don’t doubt that they are a cheaper product to produce and more profitable. Unfortunately, I think I’m sticking with an LED and I might be making a bad decision. I do care about picture, but I’m just not...

That might be the original one I had – I don’t recall. They make some higher end ones now it appears. Mine is down the list of the lineup these days. I love it!

Well, yeah, you have to pick a laptop that has WiDi specifically – they don’t all have it. I believe all I Series Intel Chips can have it, but that doesn’t mean they do have it. It’s tied to the video card and drivers, but it’s an Intel thing only as far as that goes. Plus you have to have a...

What is an example of a “ccfl backlit lcd” on the current market? I know you guys praise plasma and are probably correct, but why are sites like Cnet calling backlit led a game changer vs. plasma? Is it only a very top tier few models that pull it off? I’m referencing over at this site btw –...

I bought a laptop specifically for it last summer and wound up with a Netgear NeoTV Pro with WiDi. I have a lot of music videos that I enjoy playing through the home theater and this by far takes the evolution of doing that to a level I never dreamed of when I was doing it with a composite cable...

Ok, new question – I see some pretty positive review of the 6100 which is not ‘backlit’ from what I gather, but rather ‘edgelit.’ I see you guys here and other sites praising ‘backlit’ though. I believe the 6500 is ‘backlit’ but it doesn’t have the microdimming of the upper level models. So, I...

Update: After all that drama – just wanted to give a plug for Farmer’s Insurance. I may or may not have mentioned them by name otherwise, but they pulled through on the ‘replacement’ coverage. I have no complaints. I appreciate the advice in regard to asking for what I want. I might otherwise...

Well, I can understand what your impression might have been – that was what my impression was too generally before I had a claim to file. In thinking of ‘replacement’ – I considered that it would be ‘equal value’ and in the case of my policy I was tipped off pretty quick when I first called that...

From the impression that I have you’ve got it wrong – they are requiring me to provide a receipt for my ‘replacement’ before they pay out the full reimbursement amount. At this point, I have received a 50% depreciated valuation of a ‘far inferior’ set = $233 for my 5 year old $1,150 television...

I’ll ask about that –thanks! I’m not sure why I never considered this option. It’s just all hit me out of left field (not that I’ve never suspected being burglarized) and I’ve never dealt with this. I’m still catching up on what the sets are on the market now since I purchased five years ago –...

I’m curious on this topic; it’s occurred to me after I submitted that model and if they will or will not approve it – plus just starting to really listen to the ‘backlit’ vs. ‘edgelit’ options (which I have previously considered to be beyond what they might possibly approve). Anyone know why I...

I submitted for a 46” 6100 Series Samsung – it’s about a $900 current price set to replace my $1,150 40”. I’m hoping they don’t try to negotiate me down from that. I think that’s a really pretty fair request. He already said he would approve a 46” – so, I don’t think that they are confined to...

Yes Sir, you did and I believe I will. I was hoping to prepare an argument if needed or find advice on matching the same price at least of my old set, but they presented such a low starting point they have me believing I'll never get that and need to ask for something in-between.

I appreciate that anyone responded period I suppose, but the disappointment on my part is that I don’t really think anyone is listening to the issue I’m experiencing and responding appropriately to the question that I have. I’m not asking advice on how to build a new home theater system and what...

Well, this is an audio/video forum; if you consider that my assertion of the suggested set as being ‘far inferior’ is overstated then I welcome you to make the argument that it isn’t beyond excusing that my old set had over a half dozen more ‘legacy’ input options than the one suggested that are...

I appreciate that you all are hoping to bring me up to 2013, but I’ve got a receiver already that will technically probably switch/up convert my analog connections (I haven’t actually verified they would all switch/up convert because I haven’t needed to utilize that functionality before – I had...

Oh, wow! Are you saying the single ‘component’ input is supposed to pull duty as the ‘composite’ input as well? Oh, that suxs if that’s the case – that’s not going to fly at all. Something else to look more closely at – I only recently noticed the connection you are talking about while hooking...

No, nothing that requires DVI – I’m just looking at what my old ($1,150+) TV had that I don’t want to give up on the ‘Replacement’ television. DVI looks to be one of the many connections that I had that are still present on the current televisions. I’m not sure I’m expressing myself well enough...

Well, I’m holding on to the receiver for the time being anyway – it’s been a trooper for me and I don’t have more components than I do inputs for now anyway. I think my new argument is over the DVI Input. My old tv had a ton of inputs that none of these new tv’s are going to have. I forgot that...

Thanks for the input. I do have a receiver, but it is old school component – no HDMI and I’m not upgrading just for component to make up for my loss on the television if you catch me. I want the television to more closely match what I lost and they want to try to get me to take the least...

I was burglarized and they got my Samsung LNT4061F 40" 1080p LCD. I have ‘replacement’ insurance as opposed to ‘actual cash value’ coverage – which is a topic all on its own. Basically, ‘replacement’ coverage equates to them supposedly not just giving ‘actual cash value’ for my television –...
