    new TV: 5k-10k range

    thanks for the info skinny. so 100Hz conventional is still "interlaced" - just with double the "refresh rate"? (to use computer video terms) does the same hold for 50Hz progscan vs. 100hZ progscan, ie. 50Hz "non-interlaced" vs. 100Hz non-interlaced? buying a TV at these big appliance (or even...

    new TV: 5k-10k range

    skinny, m@kr0 has the Sony 74cm Wega Trinitron Flatscreen for R3900 at the moment. It's the 50Hz one and I dont know whether it takes composite inputs and does prog scanning. Why is 100Hz more beneficial on larger screens than smaller ones? I'd think that flicker would be just as visible on...

    new TV: 5k-10k range

    I sold my old 54cm tube to get something bigger. I watch little or no broadcast TV (SABC/eTV/DSTV). I mainly use it for DVD and PS2 gaming. The above leads me to consider getting a wide (16:9) screen and possibly even a monitor, i.e. no builtin tuner or speakers. (I have a decent sub/sat...

    B&W 800 series DVD

    absolutely nothing. IN FACT if you've we already invested in 80x fronts i guess you could trade in the car (it would have to be decent wheels) for a center and  sub. (that gives you 3.1) then you could take a 2nd bond to get surround sound that is up to scratch. that gives you 5/6.1. but i'd...

    Speakers available in SA - What you've got or what you want

    those B&W 603's can rock! don't know if this is true, but it sounded plausible: a sales person told me that B&W 60X we're aimed (overseas where hifi is a lot more affordable) at the younger budget and quality conscious segment of the market. and 603's sound suited that market's music - pop...

    Speakers available in SA - What you've got or what you want

    hi tptb, i also injected some cash into the SA consumer electronics retail industry today... :D i'll go for building piece by piece as buying a decent 5/6/7.1 is going to be very expensive initially. exception is maybe front L/C/R which should be carefully matched and therefore probably a...

    for posterity's sake ...

    when www.avforums.za.net becomes the premier AV/Hifi forum site in .za, people are going to ask Kay where he first got the idea for a local forum and where he initially hooked up with a bunch of knowledgeable, intelligent, enthusiastic & moderately opinionated local AV/hifi afficionados and...
