    Need Advice on Purchasing TV

    Thanks for the quick reply . . . viewing distance will be about 12'. I am moving away from the projector simply because of not being able to hang a screen and such.

    Need advice on Internet Capable Televsion

    I read, and I may be mistaken, that Sony's Google TV can receive regular updates. The Revue would work, but I still would need a tv. Thus why I am looking at a wi-fi tv.

Therefore, I suggested getting an internet ready television and subscribing to HuluPlus or using...

    Help Buying New TV

    Okay ... so, the tv will display whatever the video transmission is; correct? If that's the case, does it matter then what setting I set on the receiver; 1080i or 720p ?

    Extremely Dark Picture . . . Am I Screwed?

    like I said it is a couple of months away and my only concern with a projector is setting it up, making sure the image is properly aligned, etc., etc. projectors would probably sell more if there was a campaign to ease people's worries!

    Extremely Dark Picture . . . Am I Screwed?

    DJ Rob . . . interesting you say that because one of the component cables (blue) is basically just sitting in the input and can fall out upon touch. I am hoping that the tv just needs to be opened and those inputs tightened or whatever and it will be cheap and easy fix . . . I will post what...
