    2013 Panny plasmas or ?

    Whilst it is possible and predicted by many to show little improvement over the 2012 apart from aesthetics, I'd rather wait for reviews I can trust. Let's wait and see what AVforums and HDTV test have to say. You're probably right though and there's no need for anyone with an ST to upgrade I...

    surround advice please

    No need. His Nvidia GPU will output audio over HDMI, I have the same speakers and receiver as him with a GTX 580. Well, until my new Onkyo receiver arrives tomorrow :D

    PS3 or Blu Ray Player

    I planned to do this, but after two exchanges for fan noise and drive noise I went for a standalone player. You just don't want to hear the equipment during movies.

    Haha, Imagine how hard it is for me living with it every day! Sadly, I can't wall mount as the flat is rented and the wall has very dodgy plaster. You get used to it though. Looks neat I suppose

    Post Your Home Cine & HiFi Kit...

    Hi all, here's my effort. It's not the best but it's a good budget setup. I got the G30 for £429 brand new and it's just amazing. I was putting up with backlight bleed before so the difference is night and day. Only thing I regret is the AV amp. I had an old Yamaha before and swapped it for this...

    Dolby pro logic II and other dolby conversions greyed out on amp when fed from pc

    Pro Logic and other DSP modes work only for PCM audio signals with sampling frequencies of 32KHz, 44KHz or 48KHz If your stereo sources can't use Pro Logic it's likely because you've upped the sampling frequency to 96khz or higher. Hope this helps

    Stuck Pixel Dilemna - Honest Opinions Wanted

    Hi folks, I purchased a Panasonic TX-P42G30B Plasma last week. The set is perfect apart from one stuck red pixel directly in the centre which I can just about see from my viewing position. I have phoned the retailer and they have offered to exchange it. My question for you is (and this is...

    I.T Degree or Industry certs

    If you show enough enthusiasm and understand your subject well enough you should be able to get into a firstline role quite easily, particularly if you give a good interview. When we recruit for firstline we tend to find that those with a long list of certs and no industry experience will not...

    Sky HD a tree and a horrible neighbor

    Lay a trail of special brew leading to a deep hole. Then pop over there and cut 6ft out of the top. Fill the hole in or pass her 6ft of her own tree so she can pull herself out, depends on how compassionate you're feeling.

    Panasonic TX-P42G30B (Not with 3D)

    3D is really quite sad. It's done nothing for cinema and buying this TV will serve as a welcome protest against it :)

    Panasonic TX-P42G30B (Not with 3D)

    I bought one last week and it has an amazing picture for the money, when calibrated I have not seen a better picture on an LED or LCD display. Mine has a bright red stuck pixel dead centre though so trying to return at the mo :(
