    Thinking about a plasma, down to the wire, looking for some advice.

    So for the extra post, can't find the edit or delete post buttons :p. Oh, incidentally, many of my DVDs are looking particularly bad on the new set. I get that they're SD, but is it just that with a new higher-resolution set, the flaws stand out more than ever? DVDs obviously look inferior to...

    Thinking about a plasma, down to the wire, looking for some advice.

    It's a Samsung PN64H5000. A few n00b questions as regards the calibration of it and especially my old LED now lurking down the basement using a Disney WOW disc: what is the difference between graphic and video HDMI modes? What about noise reduction and dynamic contrast? Should I have them off...

    Thinking about a plasma, down to the wire, looking for some advice.

    It's here. You don't realize how big it is until you see it. And now I've discovered that even the stand is so wide that it won't fit on my old-ass wooden cabinet. Somewhere, God is laughing ;).

    Thinking about a plasma, down to the wire, looking for some advice.

    Pulled the trigger on it with the warrantee, but they can't deliver it until next week :(. Tried to also also order a pair of HDMI cables to hook up my old HDTV in the basement (that a $40 DVD player can be hacked region-free and has an HDMI out is frankly amazing to me), but they tried to run...

    Thinking about a plasma, down to the wire, looking for some advice.

    I'm pretty sure it does, it seems to be able to handle it on my current HDTV. Although the company from whom I bought it advertised that it would be permanently region free, and once I ran one of the software updates, it was not. I contacted them, and they sent me download which I could upload...

    Thinking about a plasma, down to the wire, looking for some advice.

    I'm thinking I'll bite the bullet and take the plunge on this and get Amazon's expensive warrantee,but very quickly, will it be able to handle other signals? I'm region free and have some PAL discs and Region B Blus which I wouldn't want to find out were less compatible with it!PS I have the...

    Thinking about a plasma, down to the wire, looking for some advice.

    What of the infamous plasma glare? Will that be a huge issue? I admit, the windows in my bedroom mean the light kind of goes where it goes, should I be concerned?PS Are analog inputs a thing of the past on contemporary sets? I still have quite a few old game consoles with RCA jacksPPS I'll...

    Thinking about a plasma, down to the wire, looking for some advice.

    I apologize if I’m putting this in the wrong place or starting a new thread when I shouldn’t be, based on what I’ve seen in the stickies, I’m not overstepping rules. OK, I realize that I’m an annoying n00b who’s frequently lambasted on various AV-related forums for my non-existent knowledge, so...
