    Is HDMI that much better?

    Steve, I think you will like the MonoPrice switch box.The only thing I don't like about it is the flashing red light on the front.It's very bright and annoying.I put some black electrical tape over it. Enjoy!

    Is HDMI that much better?

    I got this switch from MonoPrice and it works great. MonoPrice.com - Best quality products at the lowest price I use it with my 622 and my OPPO 980

    DishComm and VIP 211

    Does Dishcomm work with the 211? I have a 622 downstairs with a phone line connected and a 211 without phoneline connected in the bedroom.I Would like to have caller ID on the 211. Thanks.

    $189.00 for a 811 on EBAY?

    The thing is,the ad on eBay doesn't state what revision it is. Btw,I wouldn't take that much money for mine, even if offered.I just wouldn't feel right about it.

    622 "pause bar" burn in

    My Hitachi is 4.5 years old and was ISF calibrated 2 months after purchase.It looks fantastic.No burn-in. In fact, I love the film-like look and the inky blacks.It has a depth that I have not seen on any set under $5,000.My set, IMHO, has a better overall picture then my buddy's new 60" SXRD...

    622 "pause bar" burn in

    Just switch the t.v. to a unused input after you pause the 622.The screen will go black,but the set will still be on.Also,you should set up you Sony properly.The contrast and brightness need to be adjusted.I've had my Hitachi for 5 years and I have no burn in. Use Avia or even the THX...

    NFLHD Quality This Week?

    The pre and post game shows use 8 cameras out of a SD truck from which the shows are produced.It would be extremely expensive to use 2 HD trucks.Therefore,the highlights are in SD.

    NFLHD Quality This Week?

    Many people have different tv's.I think some of the older LCD's have slow refresh rates and that contributes to what they are seeing.With the monitors I work with,I can see miniscule camera problems that a layman would never notice.That's a big part of my job.

    NFLHD Quality This Week?

    Most video rooms in the trucks have 2 or 3- 13" or some times 20" QC monitors.Plus 20 or 30 smaller monitors for all the cameras and feeds coming in.The control room will have 2 or 3 larger (25" or so) monitors for program (what's on line) and preview (whats about to be on line).Then a whole...
