| Fall Flat Panel Lineup Thanks for all the good information.Black levels: When folks say plasma has better blacks, does that mean good shadow details or that blacks are just more black, which can block out shadow details?Source: I live in an apartment with Comcast feed. ... | |
| Unipivot vs Linear Tracking OK. I'm suggesting a fun experiment. Get together a group of audiophiles and ply them with some beer. Hand everybody a pad and paper. Put up a clock with a second hand. Play the Holst or the Firebird and ask everybody, without copying one another,... | |
