Picked up a Samsung -S5053 plasma tv today. Now I have a couple of questions.
When I am watching local HD channels some of them are not in full screen. Is this normal? I hope not.
I can get sound to come out of my surround sound system when I use the FTA box (same as a cable box) but not when I am watching local channels. I hooked up a Optic cable from the tv to the reciever(Onkyo) so I thought the sound should come straight thru. Everything was working great on the tv I just replaced. I probably moved some cables I wasnt suppose to. Hoping someone here has a Onkyo reciever that can help me out.
On a side note. Absolutly love the tv. Last tv was 60" but not HD so I was a little worried about downsizing. Picture clarity more than makes up for the size difference.
When I was checking prices it was Best Buy..2700, Circuit City....$2500 and American in Milwaukee $2099. So the wife and I purchased it last night and told them that we would pick it up today. They called a few hours later and said the stand we wanted wasnt in stock. So this morning we went to Circuit City to look at stands. We saw that they would match any price plus 25%.(thats a $100 savings) The catch ended up being that they would only do it for the price American had on the internet. Believe it or not the price on the net went from $2099 to $2299 overnight. They matched the $2099 (we had the reciept with us) and then gave us $150 off the stand. Cancelled with American immediatly.
