Just an update, after having my digital cable installed yesterday. Like many of you have observed who have digital cable, broadcast non-HD TV channels such as TNT, CBS, USA, Sci-Fi, NBC, etc., look pretty bad. Plain old cable looked better! The HD channels however are fantastic looking. I...

Captain Video? I had heard the name. I am about 40 miles north of San Diego so I may give them a call. Actually, even though I haven't calibrated it yet, I have done the auto convergence as per the instructions, i.e., wait until the TV has been on an hour or so and then do it. So far, and it has...

Actually guys, I went with an RCA model in the end. I had my eye on a Panasonic, but to tell you the truth, when I went to compare pictures, the RCA won hands down. No, I did not get the extended warranty through CC. I probably will buy and extended warranty soon though, I'm waiting for my next...

Yep, been a horror/sci-fi fan since I was a kid. I remember going to the local cinema for the Saturday matinee that usually had cheesy horror films like "Them" and "It Came from Outer Space" and absolutely loving them. Much to my wife's chagrin, I still love 'em. I would say a good one third of...

Funny thing, this new set has made me want to go through my 400+ DVDs again. I even joined Columbia House again to get my 5 discs for 49 cents each. I will gladly buy 2 more at the regular price just to enjoy them on my new set! I had seen the 1991 version of "Night of the Living Dead" numerous...

My only regret is that I waited so long to take the plunge.:frowning:

Yes, I do realise that there is NOT going to be that much of an improvement with the digital cable. Mainly I want it for HD broadcasts, ala, the Daytona 500. My TV viewing habits are roughly 75% DVDs and 25% TV. In a nutshell, I want to see the HD broadcasts of the channels Cox offers in my...

Well, I got my new 43" RCA HD RPTV delivered last night and I have some observations after all these years with a direct view TV. First of all, I was amazed at the differences in different TV shows on the same channel/network and how they appeared on on the TV. I have plain old cable now, but am...

Great, thanks for the info. I can't wait till I get home tonight and get it delivered so I can have some PLAYTIME!!

Ok, I pulled the trigger on a 42" RCA RPTV HD widescreen (I got a great price on it) and am having it delivered on Monday night. The current Panasonic DVD player I have in the living room is NOT progressive scan although it has component outputs, the TV has got progressive scan built in. Does...

Hopefully I'll be getting mine on Monday. I currently have a 36" Panny, and love it although it isn't widescreen. I would think though that going from a 27" to 47" is gonna be very different, a really good different though!!;)

Yep, only $100 bucks more. I hope the sale they are having lasts until Saturday though.:)

I don't plan on upgrading to HD cable anytime soon. I spend most of my viewing hours watching DVDs and the occasional tape from my 400+ VHS Tape movie collection. I went to CC last night and made some more comparisons and I really like the Panny 47". One question I had which I asked the...

Thanks Steve. That kinda puts my mind a little at ease and am pretty sure I am gonna pull the trigger on a 47" Panasonic RPTV HDTV ready set this weekend. I wish I could go bigger, but my den will only accommodate a 47" or smaller and not much else. Thanks again.

Well, as a Systems Admin, I know my way around technical stuff and am definately ready for HDTV. My concern is all the threads where people complain about drifting convergence, color misrepresentation and stuff like that. I don't want it to be a battle everytime I want to sit down and watch a...

I currently own a 36" Panasonic 4:3 direct view TV and am very happy with it. I am considering purchasing a new 47-51" widescreen HDTV CRT RPTV this weekend and have settled on another Panasonic, RCA or Sony model. While I am pretty sure I can settle on which brand I want with no advice, one...
