    New TV?

    I've got the Samsung HLP4674W and I love it. (46 inch DLP) The HLP4674W uses the HD2+ DLP chip instead of the HD3 chip that is used in other Samsung models like the HLP5063. The HD2+ chip produces a sharper picture and has better black levels. The Toshiba set that you listed also uses the HD2+...

    Thanks for the coupon. I actually won my own coupon after I realized that I could use the "back button" to create new accounts with fake email addresses. Thanks again.

    Tough choice..help me out Dell 2001fp or Viewsonic VP201B ?

    I called Dell tech report to report backlight leakage on my first monitor and recorded the trouble ticket number. I called customer service, asked them nicely to read the trouble ticket, and let them know that I spent over an hour on the phone trying to get a replacement LCD. I asked to be...

    Tough choice..help me out Dell 2001fp or Viewsonic VP201B ?

    If you have the time and patience to deal with Dell's support personnel until you get a near perfect 2001FP you won't be disappointed. If you do receive what you deem to be a defective monitor ask for a "service credit" and they will give you one. I purchased a 2001FP for $700 but returned it a...

    Tough Question On 2001FP

    I don't think I took advantage of Dell on this even though I did get a sweet deal. I did waste hours of work time getting bounced around between support personnel. Of course it was my employer who lost out there.:rolleyes: The first monitor I received had three dead sub pixels, but no...

    Tough Question On 2001FP

    Dell pays shipping on the replacement and the return. (Overnight if requested) Have the technician document the return in a case ticket and ask for the number. If it takes multiple calls to coordinate the LCD exchange have the support person log the content of each call in the original ticket...

    Tough Question On 2001FP

    You don't have to send the monitor back to get a replacement. If the backlighting leak is not acceptable ask for another LCD, and a 3rd and 4th if necessary. I stopped after four. Eventually you will get a monitor that you like, or like me will realize that the first monitor received was...

    HDTV on 2001fp

    I posted some pictures of 1080i content displayed in 720p at http://www.pbase.com/orgazmo/2001fp The 'aspect' mode seems to work best for 16X9 content. For a standard aspect screen displaying 1080i/720p content I think the picture looks great. In 'fill' mode you'll notice that the...

    HDTV on 2001fp

    I'm still figuring out the options. There are three different display modes on the LCD. (Fill 1:1 and aspect (?) I think) I read something about the Sony receiver that said it defaults DVI output to whatever the monitor can display. I think that’s why the 1080i and 720P modes appeared to...

    HDTV on 2001fp

    GOOD NEWS!!! The 2001FP displays all formats of HD with varied levels of success. (Using DVI-D) There is some cropping/resolution distortion with 1080i but it does display. I'll try each HD format with the rescale vs native aspect options on the LCD to detremine the best setup for each HD...

    HDTV on 2001fp

    I found the manual for the Sony HD receiver online. Turns out that there is a output selector switch on the back of the unit. I'll retest when I get home from work.

    HDTV on 2001fp

    I tried using the 2001FP with my housemates Sony HD300 DirecTV receiver last night without success. I'm not sure that I configured everything correctly. I left the receiver attached to our HDTV via component cables. I connected the RGB (sub-D 15 pin) and DVI outputs to the monitor. I...
