In Reply to: I compared the 400Q to the VPH50... posted by Rich on December 19, 1999 at 13:51:44:
Hey..I'm not trying to rattle your, or anyone else's, cage. I am glad you found something you can live with and for a price you were willing to spend. I am only saying we all make our own choices and pay our own prices, if I may quote the fine Bros. Wachowski. My experience does not supercede your, it is mearly mine, and a lot of others have had similar experiences. By the way....2 "problems" I find way way overblown, is the fan noise and black reproduction with the 400Q. Your system sounds very nice and I'm sure you enjoy it. I could enjoy it, too. But for substantially less investment in time, trouble, maintenence, set-up, fiddling, space requirements, structural building load requirements (assuming a more theater-like ceiling mount configuration), ambient light elimination, and so on, I have an image that, with an anamorphic DVD presented in 16:9 format, is by many experienced and knowledgable individuals considered to be superior in it's film-like theater quality than any CRT set-up in the price range you describe, including the 50, which is just not engineered to take full advantage of 16:9 format, without a 25% loss. Just two different ways to get to the same place, each with it's own set of limitations and strengths, advantages and disadvantages. Whether one "destroys" the other is a subjectivist argument, and likely not worthy of your time, or mine, and I'm sure, unlikely to be "settled". It's pointless and reminds me of grammer school boys bickering over whose father could beat up the other's. I didn't engage in those either, though my father was a pretty tough kid who grew up under adverse circumstances in the Bronx (but I digress). Please accept my humble apologies if I have offended you in any way...I was not attacking your system, just presenting an alternative that can produce an outstanding image for someone looking for something a lot simpler to live with and MUCH less expensive than the fine choice you have made. So, have a merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and all that, Rich. Enjoy your fine system, as I will mine.Larry
