What size and ratio TV do you watch your porn on and is it connected to a progressive scan DVD player? I get to see all the detail on a 57" 16:9 with a progressive scan player. The picture is amazing.

27" 4:3... I'm waiting for the LCoS 1080p monitors to come down in price.

55", 16:9 Widescreen with Progressive Scan Player with DVI video hookup.

Problem is not many adult releases are anamorhphic - but when you get one, the sex looks great (i.e. the "Jack's Playground series).

Hey Saki! If and when you get a LCos Tv I'm sure it will be over 50 inches. If you want to see every details like I see on my TV, and I do mean every detail, including goose bumps make sure it's connected either with HDMI, DVI, or Composite input to a Progressive scan DVD player and properly calibrated. I am excited about LCos Tech and the promise it brings for digital TV. But remember the only truly native display for HDTV technology is CRT.

If you're going to shoot, you may as well shoot for the sky .

Currently, I'm watching most mainstream stuff on a 56" HD RPTV with a progressive scan player and most adult stuff on a 34" widescreen CRT HDTV with progressive scan players.

In my guest room, where I have my treadmill (which I need to get back on) I have an old progressive scan player connected to a 27" 4:3 TV. Not that having a progressive scan player does any good on that TV. It just happened to be available after an upgrade in my den, so I hooked it up.

Well, they're on par, pricewise, to plasma displays, but I've only got about $2K saved up in my TV fund right now....

The Toshiba 57HLX82 is streeting for around 6 grand.

The guy who wrote that article (Gary Merson) is the person who calibrated by Toshiba HD RPTV.

Here's the set that I would love to get. The Mitsubishi 82" LCOS 1080p integrated It's currently going for about $16-16.5K.

Cut that price in half, I might seriously consider it.

Does anyone know how much it costs to replace the 100W high-intensity-discharge lamp once it burns out? Depending on how much TV you watch, I figure it would last approx 3-5 years. If I bought a TV of this magnitude, I'd probably stick with it for 5-10 years so knowing the cost of replacing the lamp would be nice to know.

not quite

i think u meant Component not composite
composite is shit worse than a scart or s-video connection..

i run my porn (and everything) on a 32" Widescreen TV, and have it on 16:9
