I've just upgraded from a Panasonic TH42PW5 to a Hitachi 42PD7200. I notice a lot of what I would call stippling when rendering some colours, something that I don't remember occurring on the Panasonic. The Hitachi is far newer technology and everyone seems to rave about the quality. Am I incorrect in thinking I didn't see this on the Panasonic or is something wrong (I've also had a Hitachi...

Ive been going through loads of reviews and finding resolution specs etc but its far too daunting to a newbie like me. 1) Sanyo PLC-SE20 1500 Ansi lumens brightness SVGA £350

I'm looking to buy a cheapo DivX player at the end of the month, something around the £40 mark. I noticed the Eltax DV-251 at specialreserve.co.uk (http://specialreserve.co.uk/Eltax-DV-251-Compact_2935_r.html) and was very taken by the ability to plug in a USB drive with movies on it, rather than having to burn to CD/DVD. Specialreserve are out of stock, and it seems to be one of these...

Hi, Not sure if this has been posted before a 50" Philips plasma HD ready for less than £2k ex VAT Here is the link: http://www.247av.com/philips-50pf7320-50-hd-ready-plasma-tv-p-9672.html Also the plasma is HD ready which is real good and it is a new model. Spoke to the sales man and he said its a new launch promotion price on limited number of units.

Hi! I am new to this group so I hope I am in the right group for asking this question. I am thinking of purchasing a DVD recorder. I did buy one but the problem was it either flipped me out of my Sky channels and wouldn't tune into stations so all that my sister got when searching was a lot of crackle. Without the recorder, my Sky box works. We don't know what is causing the problems mentioned...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could narrow down my selection of a new TV. Its fairly easy to work out which DVD player to get, as there is a good technical breakdown he http://www.videohelp.com/dvdplayers (I'm getting a DK for my room, as it plays xvid happily - but still looking for a higher quality one for the lounge).

Costco have these coming on special in a couple of weeks time.Trouble is, I can't find any info on this particular model at all. Google only returns a 32" LCD with that model number, but the description refers to it as "digital plasma". I have, however, found reference to it on a couple of German retailers. Has anyone any info on this model? TIA nord

... for a given value of "unwatchable"? I saw my first HDTV today and was wowed by the picture (which was from an HD source). Un fortunately I then saw an HDTV showing a standard dvd image which suffered a lot of wriggling and "ground glass" distortion in some areas. Is this inevitable with all non-HD sources? Am I going to have to keep a non-HD tv to watch my dvds (or just replace my...

Hi All I have had a LiteOn DVDR (5002B) for a few weeks now as my JVC SVHS video has been on the blink, but I am sending it back. Picture quality on pre-recorded DVDs doesn't seem to be as good as my old Wharfi 750S, and stuff recorded on the LiteOn in anything other than HQ or SP (2 hr max per disc) is also very poor (fog / mist / low contrast scenes show very poor colour rendition). Now,...

Hi gang, got a 37" plasma and a gamecube, when I turn the gamecube on everything is fine until I try to play a game when it goes black and white and scrolls up and down. Any thoughts? And will this happen with my Xbox as well? TIA

Hi, I have got a NEC digital projector lamp that I have no need for. Does anybody know of a suitable place to sell this online? (ebay just doesn't seen to have any market for them) Cheers, Dave

I have been looking into getting an HDTV screen for a while now and think I am ready to make the plunge but I am having difficulty so thought I may try on here for some advice. The two main screens in question are Panasonic TH-42PWD8 at £1300 + the cost of any required modules Vs. Sony KDF-E50A12 at £1400. The Panny is in stock but requires the relevent boards to get it up and running, which I...

Hi folks, This is driving me nuts, so hopefully someone here will be able to help out. Firstly, the main problem, the player plays perfectly from cold, for just over an hour (about 70mins) and then it will stall, skipping through all the chapters with a static imagine on screen, before stopping completely. Any attempt to replay the disk will now fail with a 'disc error'. I can leave the player...

Hi, I have a surround sound set up using Pioneer VSX-D812 and KEF 5005 speakers with PSW2500 sub. Just noticed that there is no sound coming from the sub woofer. Have checked that the set up on the receiver is the same (had this system about 18 months) and all is ok. When running through the manual set up there seems to be no signal coming out of the receiver going to the sub. Have switched...

Hi, I am after a small DVD player (the sort of 20 cm by 20 cm players that you can get real cheap from Dixons/WH Smiths etc eg http://www.cyberhome.com/products.asp?Product=300) that also plays DIVX. Has anybody seen any? Many thanks in advance.
