If you set all the image configurations (in the monitor on screen display menus) for each input the same, then yes.

No, you just have sit closer to it than if you had a larger screen. I hear plasmas have a tendency to "burn in" images. If you avoid this problem, then equally spec'ed plasma and an equally spec'ed LCD will/should display a given source equally.

On Cnet (first google return I trust) it says your Dell 2407WFP has a maximum resolution of 1920x1200 at 60 Hz. The maximum resolution that Blu-Ray and PS3 games have are 1080p. That is 1920x1080 at 60 Hz. You might have some letter boxing (blank spaces on the top and bottom) from your over...

WMP 11 saves its album images in the ripped folder that you specify for the music (if ripped from a CD). I bought from a store in mp3 already, I am not sure. My guess is that it still does the same as for CD ripping. The trick is the image is a hidden file in Windoze. So you need to give...

Try comparing something that has lots of different instruments playing at once if you want to experience the compression differences. Take classical or some symphonic metal where there are many times a mid range guitar doing a solo with some background violas/bass/symbols/<insert other...

Not exactly sure. Hardest part would be to find some form of PS3 DVI-D cable that plugs into the multi A/V connector on the PS3. I remember the PS2 had a monitor (15 pin D sub) output for using the PS2 has a Linux box. That was an official Sony accessory. I use HDMI on my LCD tv (virtually a...

I bet what is happening is that your LCD monitor is upscaling the PS2 to its native 1920x1200 (just a guess on the resolution number, typical for 24" wide screens). Most of the DVDs and Playstation 2 games are encoded to output 480i or 480p in the newer titles. That would be a 720x480 for DVDs...

From a quick read of your article Which was what my gut feeling was telling me. I think what you want is something that can diffuse the light quite readily and quickly. If they have good samples you can do an overkill test with a flashlight in the store. And then you do just what you...

Safe to say any comparatively powered Logitech, <insert other brand name> speakers will do fine for the casual listening. Just a little research on each speaker system's performance for each speaker will tell you quite a bit (though this sometimes does not exist). But, subsequently, the...

Grados and other hard to find headphones will make you smile when you first hear them. The entire Grado headphone line are 16 ohm impedance (electrical engineer talk for not needing lots of power). The low impedance means that nearly any computer sound card, audio receiver, and some portable...

I concur. I own the Sony KBL XBR 2. Just about 3 months ago I received notice of a software update to help with lighting issues (the LCD backlight) for free. Helps with dark scenes quite a lot. I hate to play the fanboy card, but I would buy a Sony XBR. They are expensive yes, but I don't...

Grado SR60 are good for mid-range. For the rock/alternative/metal listener they are gold. (http://www.headphone.com/guide.../ipod/grado-sr-60.php) I own them for work and have a more expensive pair from Grado for home listening. Both are quality for music with guitars. P.S. - They are very...

I have DirecTV. Only downside, sometimes the special sports packages (MLB Extra Innings and NBA League Pass come to mind) goof it up for us non special sports package subscribers. I was blacked out of the San Antonio NBA game tonight (17 Mar) from my own regional network, Fox Sports Southwest. I...
