If you want inferior Picture Quality buy RP LCD, JVC D-ILA , Philips LCos, or DLP--get inferior Picture Quality--and pretend it's great. |
Originally posted by bfdtv No consumer CRT projection display can rival DLP and LCOS for display of 720p60 content. For a channel like FOX, ABC, or ESPN, no consumer CRT is going to rival the 1280x720 @ 60 fps display of a DLP when it must convert the picture signal to 1280x540 @ 30 fps for display. |

I noticed you left out NBC, PBS, UPN, CBS all 1080i, that fixed pixel displays must scale down to 720P. |
The 813 series are selling on closeout right now since the 815s are now hitting stores. Good time to be in the market if you're considering it. |

Originally posted by Auditor55 "But HD sports and most HD programming is better on the sammy." Which Sammy do you have? Anyway HD sports is better? and most HD programing? What other HD programs? "If I had to choose one, I'd choose the sammy because I fall asleep in front of the TV a lot - not the mits because I'm worried about it. I worry when I'm playing Xbox or doom3 on the mits. While I use both for sage tv and general HTPC stuff, I actually use the sammy as a monitor. " Those are not PQ issues. |
Originally posted by Steve_in_L.A. I just did that, and I know at least one other person on the forum did too (calls himself web). But, the 815s are in stores now, so the 813s are going fast if not already gone. I've had my WS 65813 since Oct 2 and I'm thrilled. I've done tweaks so far based on what's been recommended in this forum but my digital video essentials disk was back ordered over at deepdiscountdvd so it is in the mail now. Not sure if I'm going to spend the cash on an ISF calibration as I'm pretty darn thrilled with the progressive output on my new Sony 5-disk 685 player. |

Congrats on your new set. A something to keep in mind. Hold off on extensive tweaking and/or ISF calibration for at least 3 months. These sets tend to drift a bit before they settle-in. The picture tends to improve quite a bit during the break in period (deeper and richer) but those perfectly dialed-in settings loose the original reference point. If you've already put some effort into tweaking you should re-do them after that period is over (doesn't hurt anything but kind of burns your time a bit). |

Originally posted by NVboy It's wearing pretty thin on me, but only because Jose isn't around (yet) to spice things up a bit. |
