Thank you SO much for this thread. I picked up my TH42-PZ700U from "F-Stop" the other day. It's a beauty

In answer to a previous question asking about DLPs: DLP, SXRD, D-ILA, and RP-LCD: Rear projection technologies generally cannot do "dot for dot". They typically don't use software overscanning, but the image they throw is...

The bars are gray because burn-in is a risk. The best aspect ratio is the source aspect ratio. 4:3. Everything else is warped. Alternatively you can try blowing up the source so that the 4:3 image fills the entire 16:9 screen, but...

CNET reviews show power specs for all their TVs complete with a yearly estimated power draw cost.

Typically a PC's behavior will be to output video (lower than VGA res i think) to all outputs at boot time. The vast majority of current-day TVs will be able to handle displaying such a signal. So yes, you should be able to use an HDTV...

Does anyone know where this loss of motion lines of resolution happens? Given my understanding of the video signal path at HD resolution, from a media player to a tv: VOB ---> MPEG stream ---> decoded RGB values in framebuffer --->...

As much as I love my 60" Sony SXRD, I don't really have the space for it anymore. If all goes well, I'll have about $1500 and no TV tomorrow, and... I need a flat panel. It will be in the following role: Video sources (by usage...

Simply put: HDR is a pain in the ass. HDR in PC games is *simulated* with tricks and some higher-bit-depth calculations before the end pixels are given the 0-255 brightness values. This gives you the halo and glare effects in games...
