    Pre-Newbie with stupid questions.

    Thanks Slater1182, that would definately solve my problems. I'm looking at the Samsung HLP6163W. I don't think the current crop (2003) of Samsung DLPs have that HDMI port, but the ones coming out now do!

    Samsung DLP pic quality (about to take the plunge)

    Don't forget, an HDTV of that size is going to magnify the picture you see on your current 36"; any defects on the signal that are 'acceptable' on your present TV will look that much worse on the 61". One question: Why would you go for such a beautiful HDTV (the Samsung 61" is what I'm...

    Pre-Newbie with stupid questions.

    Thanks Mike123abc. What I'm getting out of all this is that the "better color saturation" of the component input is brand dependent because each TV will convert the signal in it's own way. Hell, TVs of the same brand could also convert the signal in their own way, theoretically! Whereas the...

    Installs Inc.

    I've read quite a few horror stories about Installs inc on this board. I'm just behind you as far as your circumstances because I'll be purchasing an HDTV in a few weeks and intend on getting Voom. If I were you, I'd keep on top of Installs as often as possible because, more often than not...

    Pre-Newbie with stupid questions.

    Damn, you people are making my decision tougher all the time. DVI has better detail, but component has better color saturation. Decisions, decisions. :) I was also thinking that I could use something like Avia to calibrate the TV and hopefully get the detail AND better color saturation on...

    Pre-Newbie with stupid questions.

    Thanks Wasch 24, I guess that makes up my mind for me; I'll be holding off on the purchase of an HD-DVD player until its true HD. That, in turn, would open up the DVI connection for the Voom STB. However, if the Voom STB component output has a richer color pallette (as per DarrellP), than...

    Pre-Newbie with stupid questions.

    Hi All, Thanks to everyone who welcomed me into the fold. DarrellP, you mentioned that there isn't much of a difference in the PQ between DVI and component. I'm no videophile, so I probably wouldn't notice anyway, but there are quite a few people who are adamant that the difference is...

    Pre-Newbie with stupid questions.

    Hello All, First and foremost, please excuse my ignorance; I'm new to this forum and this is my first post. Second, a little background. I call myself a "pre-newbie" because I'm about to embark on the road to HDTV ownership with a Voom subscription. I'll be moving into a an apartment...
