Has anyone felt a room pressurize from LFE or bass?


well, i dont know about pressurize, but if you're anywhere near a sub you can feel the bass vibrations hit you and weigh you down

i have to keep my sub's volume down to below half or else I'll get headaches, subs can literally burst blood vessels from extended use. i heard some guy had some serious medical issues when he put a powerful sub behind his seat in his truck.

very good guide.....but remember this is the original posters OPINION only

I personally prefer LED/LCD > plasma

and some new plasma TV's still do suffer from burn-in fyi (it's just less common than pre-2007)

Again, a very good guide though

I concur that LED is better versus plasma regarding burn-in.

Thanks, I appreciate your comment but it is not merely my opinion that plasma is better than LED/LCD. Black levels can be measured, and it is a mathematical fact that lower light output = darker blacks = better picture.

The same with colours. 6500 Kelvin is the sweespot colour temperature and plasmas are always closer to this number. You can't really be subjective about colours either, the more accurate the colours are, the more detail you get from the picture.

Another aspect of an HDTV is the input lag... Although its not that easy to tell, plasmas have significantly less input lag (say typically 15-20ms compared to LED/LCDs ~30ms)

Also, post 2007 plasmas DO NOT SUFFER FROM BURN-IN it is called "image retention" and is only temporal.

Yes, plasmas can get image retention but that goes away... after a day.. LEDs can get clouding, which is just as big as a problem.

Are those JVC's still a good deal for around the $40 price? Was really hoping to get a headset with a mic if anyone can help me out.

Ive been doin some pretty extensive research. I am looking for the right combination of quality and price.
This is what I came up with.

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=147055&CatId=3652

CNet says its the best plasma value on the market. It looks like they slimmed the side profile a little as well.

Is this the best value I could be getting you think? Its got ethernet (not sure why I need it but it has it), 1080p and its non 3D ( I have zero interest in 3D)

Seems to meet all of my needs
