RW> Ummmm, how about Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange"? I thought
that sucked
RW> big-time...
 
I didn't care for it either, but it is still a Kubrick film.  It is what
I'd call a cult film, but nowhere near a classic.
 
RW> You can't have um all...
 
I can still dream.
 
RW>RN> The RCA is now manufactured by Thompson Products, is it not?
 
RW> I've heard that, but I'm not sure.
 
If you still have the manual for it, it should read something like
"Manufactured by Thompsom Products."
 
RW> Mine says HDTV on the face of it and it has a scan rate of 720p. Pay more
RW> attention to the picture scan capability and contrast ratio. If you buy
RW> one that is only 720p, that's the best picture you can expect to see on
RW> it. Our Fox affiliate broadcasts in 1080i, which is the best picture
RW> available for the time being. Your 720p TV won't be able to display that
RW> picture. My friend Andrew bought a 40" Pro-Scan LCD, which is only a
RW> 720p...In the same row of 40" TVs when I went to look, there was a Sony
RW> with a 1080p scan rate that had a much better picture on it than the one
RW> he bought. I would have given them the extra $300 they wanted for it and
RW> have been happy with that deal.
 
I've had this one for 3 years now.  It is HDTV and widescreen and 720p, I
believe.  It was right in my price range at the time and I'm glad I have
it. I can select from four picture sizes.
 
RW> Heat...With the LEDs on the way, everybody is waiting.
 
Still no Plasmas nor were there any Polaroids.  My guess is the store is
selling a lot of the latter and can't get them on the shelf fast enough,
but this is only a supposition.
 
 
Regards,
 
Roger
