Need Help with Plasma Burn In vs. DLP Decisions
There is a thread on power heat and plasmas and LCDs at avsforum.com near the top. It restates what I have said. Some poster measured the power consumption on his plasma as averaging 140 watts but varying; being higher in all white snow scenes and... 
Need Help with Plasma Burn In vs. DLP Decisions
Thanks for the reply. I use DVE essentials to calibrate with the filters. My green and red are spot on and I just dont see the push you are mentioning. The set is also spot on d65 as far as light. The only criticism I have is that my yellows, whil... 
Need Help with Plasma Burn In vs. DLP Decisions
A few things here of interest;1. LCDs have essentially small lightbulbs behind the screen. SO when one goes out it gives an uneven screeen appearance. Not truely a burn in, but looks like one depending on which lightbulb and where.2. True flat LCD... 
Best component video cable under $150?
Do you have BNC native jacks or RCA? I am going to assume RCA on both ends. I see you have a rear projection LCD. Cables may not make a huge difference. Heartlandcables.com tend to be cost effective. Radio Shack Fusion Gold were good when they mad... 
Need Help with Plasma Burn In vs. DLP Decisions
I stopped into tweeter store today and spent most of my time looking at the DLPs dipslaying discovery channel HD feed simultaneously. Obviously I had no control over settings of the displays at all. Ya know, some of the DLPs look pretty darn good!...

There are two issues- one is after image retention--sometimes described as burn in, and the other is uneven phosphor wear, also described as burn in. You are discussing the latter. IN any case, I have used my plasma for over 2 years and the pic is... 
Panasonic 50" Plasma
Plasma over DLP. AS far as brands, Fujitsu uses the same glass as panasonic( meaning the embedded pixel structure as well) but uses a better de-interlacing chipset for instance. However, if you have a great DVD player, this is a moot point. AS far... 
Recommend a good DVD Player for McIntosh HT System
Firmware update eliminated the MB problem completely over component cabling. HDMI is still a problem, but lesso than before. ( Pany S97 info) 
tweeters- metal or soft dome?
Yes all the speakers are different and you have to listen. That being said. I prefer silk dome tweeters over metal for exactly some ofthe reasons described above regarding harshness. Quality speakers give me the detail I need regardless of tweeter...

Need Help Choosing A Subwoofer
I've found that there is a difference between a sub excelling for music but less so for HT are vice versa. Some subs do both fairly well, but usually one pover the other. Vandersteen certainly has a strong following in general. The whole feel is t... 
Improving sub quality
My subs sit on an auralex Gramma stacked and corner loaded. Not too boomy, and reasonably careful phase adjustment, SPL measurements, and gain control has kept things seemingly accurate. 
Recommendations please for close-to-wall book-shel
Soliloquy SAt 5 should fit the bill. I use 2 for surrounds in my HT, but they are actually decent as mains suprisingly.
