    i got a 6inch generic dvi cable from NCIX.com for ~$18 much better than the $50 or so futureshop wants for their's.. the difference is fairly subtle but i do notice the sharpness difference. plus, dont you just want to know you're getting the most out of it? :)

    you sure about that? i read it was still 1+. or atleast you could return it to the store you got it from without fuss. some stores, like ncix, have a '30 days zero dead pixel' waranty option for extra $20 or so i believe.. i didnt bother with it and i didnt get any dead pixels anyway so lucky me?

    you could adjust the settings in the dvd software you're using. every player that i know has some sort of basic 'brightness/contrast/tint/hue/saturation/etc/etc' sliders somewhere you can use to tweak the dvd playback. sad to hear about the lack of scaling but its not a big deal for me ill...
