Hi all, We need to pull the trigger quickly on a solid quality 55" LCD for our lake cottage... the old plasma gave up the ghost. Our budget is $1,300-$1,500. The room is VERY sunny with lots of reflections, so we want to avoid...

I'm looking for an inexpensive AV Receiver that does 1.4 HDMI and has an explicit Phantom Center option as well as control over all 5.1 channel volume levels. I recently bought the Onkyo TX-SR308 receiver, but it doesn't apppear to...

If ARC / HMDI is idiot proof, then I more stupid than an idiot! I have a Panny 60" VT25 and an entry level Onkyo 1.4 hdmi / arc receiver (TX-SR308). I have my Dish box and a Sony s570 blu-ray both connected to the Onkyo via HDMI. I...

Guys, I've noticed that on my 65" VT25 some of the nicer HD channels on my dish TV (like Palladium) display a very thin (almost pixel width) whitish vertical line at the far left edge of the display. It ONLY happens on a few Dish HD...
