Does the Samsung LED have more glare than the LCD?

Just purchased the LED because the picture quality looked a bit clearer in the store. However, we placed the tv directly across from a picture window and there is tons of glare. Would I have as much glare with the LCD? Maybe we'll just have to invest in some blinds or move the tv to another part of the room. The picture is perfect at night!


Answer
Samsung uses their "Clear Screen" technology in the A650, A750 A850 and now in the 2009 B650, B6000 & B7000 LCD products. Though these screens pass more light than any other LCD screen on the market, they also have the most reflections and glare of any LCD screen. In fact, these screens produce more reflections and glare than today's Panasonic plasma TVs with their Anti-Reflective filter. Control you light source(s) and this TV will reward your with a fanatistic picture.

Additional Details: Samsung uses the same LCD screen in the new LED series (6000, 7000 & 7100) as they use in the high-end LCD series (650, 750 & 850). Remember that the LED series is still a LCD HDTV, it just used LED back lighting instead of wide color gamut florescent tubes. There is not more glare on the LED series TVs, just the same amount of glare as on the LCD series.

when your playing ps3 games honestly does which hdtv really matter?

Q. rathers its plasma lcd led or whatever brand will that greatly make a difference in picture quality?? if so how much will it be dramatically different?


Answer
It depends on how hardcore of a gamer you are really. When plasmas first came out they were death for gamers or even frequent sports viewers because of the threat of "burn-in"-when a repetitive image on the screen would remain "burned in" even after the picture would change, think health/ammo bars or the scoreboard in sports. Newer plasmas don't suffer from it to the same degree, but they still can have problems resulting from extended gaming sessions. If you play like 3 hours at a time you will be fine with a plasma. If you are more of an 8 hour marathoner you may want to try a different direction. Once your type is chosen just compare refresh rates (Htz) and contrast ratios in like priced and sized models. Also make sure it has all the inputs you may need. Multiple HDMI inputs, VGA if needed etc. Often you can get a larger screen size with a plasma per dollar.

The TV should have an AUX audio input. Connect the audio connection from your laptop to the AUX audio input on the TV and you should get the sound from your TV.

Do you know an HDTV with awesome built in speakers?




OfDubiousQ


I know HDTV's are notorious for their built in speakers sound quality, so I was just wondering if there was one out there with some good, ready to go speakers.
If someone could just tell me 1 HDTV with better than average sound quality, they get best answer. I'm fully aware that a home theater sound system sounds better than a TV's internal speakers.



Answer
Mitsubishi has a relatively new line that features a sound projector for it's built in speakers. It uses 16 small individually amplified speakers that allow it to very directionally beam sound to various reflective points in the room. Yamaha uses the same technology in its YSP line. While it not as good as a full size surround system, with the addition of even a small subwoofer it has great sound on its own. Available in either a 52" or 46" LCD size it's also got a great picture as well.

Full Disclosure: I am a dealer for both Yamaha and Mitsubishi as well as many other television brands. I personally have the 52" version at my home.

best quality hdtv 2011 image



MamaC


Surprising my husband with a tv in our bedroom for his birthday. Looking at the 2011 Toshiba 40E210 for $549. How does it compare to other brands and LCD's on the market? Pros? Cons?


Answer
This toshiba is a great TV.The picture quality on this TV blows away my existing HDTV I've had for a couple of years. Great for the price. But if you compare this to Samsung and Sony, then this TV gets blown away just because the options on the TV are limited. But the picture quality is fantastic, looks better than TVs at twice the price or more. I use it to watch netflix from my ps3, play ps3 games, and watch TV sports. All look great.

Amazon Deal: Toshiba 40E210 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004MF9HIA/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=product012-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B004MF9HIA

Whats the best audio option for me in order to get the best 7.1 hd sound? Hdmi or Fiber optic audio cable...?




joe_mail@s


I have a 2011 receiver and need to know what cable to buy for the best audio in 7.1


Answer
Hi Joe:

Either one will do, since both methods are digital (i.e., no difference in the final quality). [Note @Jordan: Electricity (cables) and light both travel at same speed.]

Since HDMI carries both the video and audio signals over the one "wire", and if that saves you running separate cables to your receiver, then that's probably the most cost-effective route.

But if the receiver you refer to is just your AM/FM/Surround 7.1-decoder/amp for audio from your HDTV, then patching via fiber-optic might be cheaper (especially if you already have fiber patch cords). But, again, if it also switches between DVD/BluRay and other video sources with HDMI and digital sound, then go with HDMI cables to save the extra audio patching.

And just so you know, the RCA "coax" connection for digital audio (usually the orange RCA jack next to the fiber jacks) yields just as good quality as the fiber optic signal. Again, it's all digital! Just use video-quality RCA/coax cable (instead of analog RCA audio patch cords) since digital audio is a higher bandwidth signal.

hope this helps,
--Dennis C.

If the box has component cable (red, green, and blue), you can use that to improve the quality of the image. If that's not available, using S-video will be your second best bet to improve the quality.

I am getting around 200 in back taxes. and I am trying to decide on what I should spend it on. Theres only one thing I NEED but the other things I WANT.

Things I need:
New tires for my truck - price- 508.19

Things I want:
PS3
3DS
HD TV- Picture on Tv now is going out (Keeps flickering)
HD PVR (To record video of gaming and upload them on youtube.)

I need help deciding. And dont just say tires cause my tires aint bad. They just need replaced sooner than later

Thank in advanced



Answer
Since you have a bad i'd say buy a new TV. There are some cheap ones for around 200-300 dollars. There about 32-37 inches i think. Don't buy a PS3 just yet because the PS4 is coming this Holiday 2013. I'm pretty sure that Sony will drop the price of PS3 if you still want it. On black Friday Sony comes with bundles that much cheaper than now so don't get PS3 now. Considering that HDTVs are really cheap now you can buy that now. For HD PVR you will not need that because most games now have a theater mode where you can save that gameplay, use a usb flash drive to transfer the gameplay to your computer then upload.

i want to buy a video gams for a low price


Answer
The Walmart After Christmas sale in 2012 will begin as an online only sale on Christmas Day. Then, you will be able to Shop the Day After Christmas Sale at Walmart. Most sites and stores do not have sales that actually start on Christmas Day. Walmart is one of the few stores that has a robust sale that starts so early. A lot of websites really start pushing their deals hard on the Day After Christmas.

There will be a ton of great deals on electronics, toys, clothing, home items, even Christmas Decorations on sale starting Christmas Day and on Tuesday. The Walmart After Christmas 2012 sale will continue on throughout the week more than likely ending during the weekend before Walmarts New Years sales begin. The reason for all the great deals is that it’s the end of the year and Walmart needs to get rid of a lot of their inventory to make room for 2013 sales items. That’s why you end up seeing such large price cuts on high ticket items, like electronics. Look for the price cut on iPhones and iPad 3s. Also, look for other deals on tablets and laptops, as well as some really good after Christmas 2012 deals on HDTVs.

Walmart’s prices are not only competitive, but in most cases they tend to be lower than any other stores, either online or offline. Unfortunately there are no Walmart After Christmas 2012 coupons anywhere. So don’t bother looking, Walmart does not accept any online coupons. There will be Free Shipping offers though. You can find all the deals online at the Walmart After Christmas Sale.

Which is the best 32 inch led tv in india 2013?




christina


Hi guyzz!!

i am planning to buy a 32 inch led tv for my new home.
My priorities are :
full hd led tv (1920x1080p)
Decent motion clarity index
sharp and good quality pictures ofcourse.....
smart tv (optional)
stylish with a slim frame

went to a local store he inclined me towards lg32ls series i.e lg 32ls4600 and 32ls5700
Panasonic TH-L32E5D0
sony bravia 32 ex550

i personally like lg 32ls5700
which one should i consider.....
any other options.....

any help will be appreciated :)



Answer
Hi christina, LG WRman Sherlock here,

First of all, my recommendation would be too mention your budget range to get the best opinions possible. Now looking at the factors you have listed, the 32LS5700 would be a good choice.

However, if you have a flexible budget then I would suggest you to look at the 32LM6200 as well. The TV is a full HD LED TV with theater-like passive 3D and easy to use Smart TV functions. It has a Motion Clarity index of 400 which will be perfect for fast moving visuals. And the sleek design with the ribbon stand is definitely the cherry on top. Check this link for detailed information for this TV.

Dr.Jackal


I've recently purchased a 50" Sony Bravia 1080p 120Hz LED HDTV and while the picture quality of quite good straight out of the box, I'm sure it could be better. I haven't really altered the settings at all so does anyone know if there are particular settings to get the best possible picture? I do have it hooked up with a HDMI cable.


Answer
You cannot use anybody elses numbers because the adjustments are there to compensate for YOUR source devices, your cable and your particular television.

Go get a Pixar BluRay or DVD. In the disk setup menu you will find test patterns and instructions on setting your basic Brightness, Contrast and Color. This is important because televisions are set to nearly 100% brightness and contrast at the factory to be 'eye-catching' if the unit is used for a floor demo. Properly setting these values - will NOT look as good at first. But fine details will become noticeable, wide areas of solid colors will be more solid and not swirl with other colors, etc.

This is a basic calibration you are doing. You can always order the new Disney WOW disk, the Speiers and Munsel or good old Digital Video Essentials. These disks have more test patterns, are more involved but give you lots of great tutorials.

Start with a Pixar disk. This may be all you need.

Also - go into the TV and turn OFF various optional processing like 'motion flow' and other things. While these things do make motion smoother and make some details pop out - it can create un-natural effects like the 'soap-opera' effect. (Once you see this - you will know what I am talking about.)

Oh - and congratulations on the purchase.

What is the best and cheapest Big Screen HDTV available?

best quality big screen hdtv
 on ... Haier HL42XK1 42-inch 1080p LCD TV For Sale Online | Big Screen HDTV
best quality big screen hdtv image
Q. I'm looking for a 46" or 50" big screen TV. My budget is around $900 - $1100. I'm not to concerned with the type of TV, wether it's LCD, Plasma or Projection. Although, this new TVs main purpose is for gaming, so it must have HDMI and at least 720p. I'm also worried about latency as I've read that some newer televisions can be a little slow to display the image due to the image processing that takes place. Does anyone have any good recomendations as to a tv brand or type that fills all these criteria and is within my budget? I'm not opposed to purchasing online although I still want to stay within my budget after tax and shipping fees.


Answer
I do in fact have a recomendation and it's one shared by most experts in the audio/visual field. At this point in time the Hitachi f59 series is the absolute best bang for the buck available on the market, bar none. LCD? Plasma? DLP? Nope, it's got every set below $3000 covered hands down in every relevant category, be it picture quality, gaming performance or maintenance cost. The fact is that CRT is still the benchmark all others are judged by and at this point in time a High Def rear projection set such as the Hitachi offers the savvy buyer all the goodies without the hassles.

The F59 series is available in 51, 57 and 65 inch screen sizes, and as to price, well lets just say that on a good sale day you can pick up the 65 for between $1000-$1200 and the 57 for $999. Personally, I'd wait for the annual 'After the Super Bowl' sales as most retailers really offer some blowout pricing at this time, many close to those of 'Black Friday'. It was 'Black Friday' which put the 51 inch version on my doorstep at $699 shipped and I couldn't be happier with this set, heck I'd have paid full price and still considered it a steal. Yes, it really IS that good! But don't just take my word for it, take a look for youself at some of the factors which lead me to this purchase.

For instance lets look at the bulbs, or should I say lack of. ALL of the others technologies require an arc lamp bulb to provide the light source and it does a wonderful job...for about two years. 18-24 months is the average life expectancy of these bulbs under normal viewing conditions, then its time for replacement at a cost of $200. Average that out over the ten plus years you'll watch your typical CRT rear projection set like the Hitachi with ZERO bulbs and you'll see just what the latest 'High Tech' is really worth.

As you're a gamer this is the best choice once again due to a few things, the foremost being response time. CRT doesn't have to measure pixel response in milliseconds because there are none, thus instant and true image representaion is there 24/7/365. This is critical when playing first person shooters such as Halo on Xbox Live as the lag associated with the other technologies allows the slightest bit of lag. Sure, a 10ms lag doesn't seem like much but it is the difference in that hitting and missing those vital split second shots, the difference between tea bagging an downed opponent or cursing yourself blue over why your 'dead on' head shot failed to take out the bad guy. Of course the fact you require an HDMI port tells me you're of the PS3 persuasion but this set does indeed have and support HDMI so that's another base covered. Oh, and screen 'Burn In' isn't really an issue either anymore so than any other set, in fact less if proper caution such as not leaving ANYTHING paused for extended periods of time are taken.

Now as far as movie watching goes I certainly hope you have access to a lot of DVDs because viewing them on this set is more addictive than heroin or internet porn. My personal collection grows by the week now, even movies I've seen a million times gain new life on this set. And as for cable, well I have digital cable and see NO reason to upgrade to HD because the Standard def stations would remain the same and the combo of digital and this TV make you swear you were watching true High Def when tuned to any of the Discovery Network channels.

I'll not even go into the realm of picture quality, suffice to say 1080i with the true blacks and true color representation only CRT can deliver is still king of the hill despite every attempt to knock it off. So go ahead and pull the trigger on one of these bad boys, I promise, you'll not be dissapointed in any way, shape or form. Good luck and happy viewing

What should I be looking for in a big screen TV?




annie


I have heard that plasma is no good, LED is good (lasts about 15 yrs) and LCD is the best (lasts a lifetime). What are some recommendations on buying a big screen TV, as in things to look for?


Answer
Well, none of those statements are true!

Plasma and LCD last about the same amount of time...depending on brand! There is no way to know for sure how long LED will last since it is a new technology.

When looking for a new HDTV, the first step is to figure out what your budget will be. A key piece of advice here is "You get what you pay for"! Meaning if you go with a TV brand that is considerably cheaper then another, there's a good reason for that! Super cheap brands of TVs are not reliable and generally do not come close to name brand TVs in terms of picture quality!

Top 5 brands in terms of product reliability and overall picture quality:
1. Panasonic
2. Samsung
3. Sony
4. LG
5. Sharp

Other things to consider are LCD or Plasma....Screen size...720p vs 1080p...and so on! Size and resolution(720p vs 1080p) can be determined by knowing what distance from the TV that you sit. Typically the most common size range for the living room is between 42" - 50". Here is a nice chart that will help determine what resolution you actually need based on your seating distance and screen size(pay attention to the green & red lines and/or shaded areas only): http://s3.carltonbale.com/resolution_chart.html

Let me know if you need more help with the chart!

As for the LCD vs Plasma deal, it basically comes down to your preferences and viewing conditions! LCD TVs come in a wider range of sizes and resolutions but are more expensive and not as good with fast motion!

Plasma TVs on the other hand only come in sizes 42" to 65". But are much better at producing sharper images with fast motion content like sports, movies & gaming! They also have deeper blacks and more vivid and rich looking colors!

For more info on LCD and Plasmas, see here: http://www.plasma-lcd-facts.co.uk/

Hope this helps!

Is there a DVD player that converts normal DVDs to HD quality on an HDTV?

best hdtv reviews cnet
 on Panasonic Viera TC-P65VT25 Review - Watch CNET's Video Review
best hdtv reviews cnet image



Ian M


My mother said she saw a DVD player that you could put a regular DVD into, hook it up to an HDTV, and it would play the DVD with a high-definition quality. Does such a thing exist?


Answer
Search for Up-converting DVD Players.
http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-6449_7-6859904-1.html
Notice that some up-convert to 1080i an others to 1080p.
1080i is interlaced, used on HDTV transmitting stations.
1080p is progressive, used in Blu-ray disks.
They do a very good job, but the end-result is not as good as those originally recorded at 1080i or 1080p.
By the way, you need HDMI on your TV, if you use Component it will not up-convert to 1080 i or p.

have HDTV with antenna and want to purchase a dvd recorder. Need recommendation for a recorder that will work?




wantoknow


Purchased 2010 VIZIO HDTV ~ I use antenna only. Is there a DVD recorder on the market that can be hooked up to this TV so I can record shows?


Answer
All dvd recorders have a coax in and out to tv. So I would get one that is a brand name. If you want hd, you have to get an hd recorder.
Here's a site to check prices and reviews

How can I get the best possible picture quality on my LED HDTV?

I've recently purchased a 50" Sony Bravia 1080p 120Hz LED HDTV and while the picture quality of quite good straight out of the box, I'm sure it could be better. I haven't really altered the settings at all so does anyone know if there are particular settings to get the best possible picture? I do have it hooked up with a HDMI cable.


Answer
You cannot use anybody elses numbers because the adjustments are there to compensate for YOUR source devices, your cable and your particular television.

Go get a Pixar BluRay or DVD. In the disk setup menu you will find test patterns and instructions on setting your basic Brightness, Contrast and Color. This is important because televisions are set to nearly 100% brightness and contrast at the factory to be 'eye-catching' if the unit is used for a floor demo. Properly setting these values - will NOT look as good at first. But fine details will become noticeable, wide areas of solid colors will be more solid and not swirl with other colors, etc.

This is a basic calibration you are doing. You can always order the new Disney WOW disk, the Speiers and Munsel or good old Digital Video Essentials. These disks have more test patterns, are more involved but give you lots of great tutorials.

Start with a Pixar disk. This may be all you need.

Also - go into the TV and turn OFF various optional processing like 'motion flow' and other things. While these things do make motion smoother and make some details pop out - it can create un-natural effects like the 'soap-opera' effect. (Once you see this - you will know what I am talking about.)

Oh - and congratulations on the purchase.

Your frien


I'm looking for something with the newest technology, blu-ray compatible, and all that good stuff. Size about 50 inches, maybe more. What would be the best thing to buy and how much would it cost?


Answer
In November issue of the magazine it named the Panasonic Plasma tv model VT as the best tv for 2010. You can purchased the lower model G20 50" which is a THX certified tv (higher video standard by Lucas film industry) for under $1,100. This model is only available at Best Buy and the G25 at Fry's Electronic. Go online to Home Theater Magazine and read the reviews on tvs, along with the pro and con of each technology. You will also notice that Panasonic has more plasma tv being recommended than any manufacturer. Hope this will help you out.

whats the best flat screen tv out there?




*shyness*


i have a philips LCD HDTV 1080 regular channels suck.and the color goes dark and bright sometimes on all the channels.my spending limit is 1100.and only a 47" and up.are plasmas good?i heard they get hot.whats the best tv to get?i want clear crisp sharp channels.any suggestions?


Answer
SD is 4:3 aspect ratio and 720x480 resolution
HD is 16:9 aspect ratio and 1280x720 or 1920x1080 resolution

So there is a discrepancy on 2 fronts. The resolution one being the more significant of the two. It means that if you play SD content to your HDTV, the HDTV is going to up-scale the SD to its native resolution. That process softens the image quite a bit. There is nothing you can do about it. This is just part of the reality of owning an HDTV in a world where SD is still broadcast. HDTV owners just get used to it, sooner or later; and they start gravitating towards more HD content.

Also, broadcast TV, even HD broadcasts, are heavily compressed. So while HD broadcast will look way better than an SD broadcast, it won't look quite as good as BluRay. BluRay just has way more data/information to work with to deliver you a better picture.

Plasma can deliver you some of the best picture quality in HDTVs at superior prices. This is because inherent to the technology is superior motion playback and superior image quality. So you're not having to pay for extra features.

LCDs need 120Hz or 240Hz refresh rates to deal with motion blur problems. LCDs need to offer your LED LCDs in order to improve blacks, contrasts, and colors (and compete with Plasma). But you, the consumer, have to pay for those features. And those features are basically just trying to make an LCD image match the quality of a Plasma. So why pay the extra amount?

Plasmas do run a bit hotter than LCDs. But we're not talking "if you touch it, it will burn you" hot. Its a few degrees. If a pet or child brushed up against it, it wouldn't hurt them in the slightest of ways. Its more of an LCD fanboy misconception than anything else.

If you do go Plasma, I highly recommend you look at Panasonic first and foremost. They are the leader in Plasmas right now. They have one of the strongest reliability reputations in the industry (if not the single strongest reputation). They deliver amazing quality at competitive prices.

As for specific suggestions,

PANASONIC TCP50U2 - 50" 1080p Plasma - $989 @ ABC Warehouse
PANASONIC TCP50S2 - 50" 1080p Plasma - $1169 @ ABC Warehouse
- the S series simply has a bit higher contrast rating than the U series, but otherwise are very similar quality sets

Panasonic VIERA S1 Series TC-P50S1 - 50" 1080p Plasma - $1,030 @ Amazon.com
Panasonic VIERA U1 Series TC-P50U1 - 50" 1080p Plasma - $962 @ Amazon.com
- the S1 and U1 vs S2 and U2 mean that these are the 2009 models and the "2" ones above at ABC Warehouse are the 2010 models. But if you're looking to save a few extra bucks, these are an option to consider

If you are really set on LCD though, for any reason, I would recommend either a Sony or Sharp series. Look for something that is 1080p and 120Hz (or 240Hz). I think you can find a 46" or 47" model with those specs and within your budget.

SONY KDL46EX500 46" 1080p 120Hz - $989 @ ABC Warehouse
Samsung LN46C630K1F 46" 1080p 120Hz - $990 @ Best Buy
Sony KDL46HX701 46" 1080p 240Hz - $1,440 @ Best Buy (I know above your budget, but is a really nice set/series from Sony, so incase you could increase your budget a bit I thought I'd throw it out there)

Oh but, please don't rely solely on my comments, or any one else's. Please do go into a store and bring your eyes into the equation. Stand back from the TVs the same distance you would be at home. Then take a long hard look at content being played on them. You can use spec sheets and opinions/reviews to help your narrow the selection, but at some point, your eyes need to become part of the decision. If you can't see a difference, go with the cheaper choice and save the $.

Tim B


I've researched it a little bit and I think I'm going to get a mini DVI to DVI cable and a DVI to HDMI cable. I have a 32 inch Vizio HDTV. I think this would work, my question is, is this the best way? I'm mainly concerned with the picture quality and finer details like text. Will the picture be as clear as it is on my laptop monitor?


Answer
Yes, that is indeed the best way. There is no better way to connect a computer to a display than DVI or HDMI, because it's a digital signal.

HDMI and DVI have identical image quality. Why?

Because HDMI is merely DVI + audio on one cable! The video signal carried by HDMI is in fact single-link DVI.

The only difference between a standard HDMI cable and a DVI-to-HDMI cable is that the DVI-to-HDMI does not carry audio.

How to do get great picture quality on my samsung LCD 32 inch tv?




Matt Matt


Do you need a HD box to have great picture quality , my picture is blurry . What settings do you use for the tv. If you can help it would be great. leave your email so i get more help thank you


Answer
An hdtv needs hd programming to look the best that it can and it has to be hooked up with an hdmi cable.
Right now your looking at standard definition on a high definition tv. Once you get the hd programming you won't want to watch sd anymore. There is that much of a difference.

What phone carrier is the best to get? (in the bay area)?

high quality hdtv wallpapers image



bboyReLive


I live in the Bay Area (california); so maybe my question is which carrier is best in the bay area?
And basically there's only the big 3 (AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon) + T-mobile if you're desperate

which do you prefer and why? or why not?
black snow: those are the big 3 whether you like it or not



Answer
With AT&T coming online in the next few months, Android models will be available from all of the big-four wireless carriers. If you have T-Mobile or Verizon, or are willing to switch, go for the Nexus One, our current favorite by far. It's the first phone sold directly by Google, which currently offers a version that runs on T-Mobile -- for $179 with a two-year contract -- or $529 a la carte. A Verizon model will be available sometime in spring, price unknown. Other good Android models include the Samsung Moment (Sprint), the Motorola Droid (Verizon), and the Backflip (likely AT&T).

When it came time to put its name on a phone, Google went all out. The .45-inch thick Nexus One is nearly all screen -- and what a gorgeous screen it is. The 800x480-pixel resolution shows more detail than a DVD and probably beats most HDTVs for quality, thanks to the use of OLED instead of the typical LCD technology. Colors, especially greens, are lush, and blacks are as dark as coal. All the better to show "Live Wallpapers", the gorgeous 3-D animated desktop patterns introduced in the new 2.1 version of the Android OS.

Eye candy aside, the high-res screen also comes in handy when reading long emails or jam-packed calendars, for example. The capacitive touchscreen on the OLED is very responsive and generally quite accurate. Driving the whole phone is the Snapdragon chipset that includes a one-gigahertz processor, 3-D graphics and HD video support. Translation: The Nexus One interface is extremely snappy.

Be warned, though: A few users have hit snags. In some cases, the touchscreen virtual keyboard misinterprets taps. In others, the phone pops off T-Mobile's 3G network and drops to a pokey EDGE connection. Google owns up to both glitches and has promised either software or hardware fixes. For T-Mobile subscribers, the Nexus One is worth the risk. None of its other Android phones come close in performance or design.

Best website for widescreen wallpapers?




j_teether


That's it, just looking for some high quality widescreen images. Thanks!


Answer
For high-quality wallpapers of any size I absolutely love deviantART. They have a category specifically for widescreen and hdtv wallpapers here:
http://www.deviantart.com/#catpath=customization/wallpaper/widescreen&order=5
Some awesome wallpapers made by some really great artists. Best of all you can search the specific categories (like Widescreen/HDTV or All Wallpapers)

Also, check out some of the other customization categories, they have some cool icon sets, application skins, Windows skins, etc.


[edit] Shameless plug for myself... I have 4 or 5 widescreen wallpapers in my deviantART gallery, but I wouldn't necessarily call them "high-quality" as I'm pretty much an amateur. I generally just make them when I need something custom to fit a specific theme:

Tube TV vs 1080p HDTV?




Confucious


Comparing the two tv's in this scenario.

TV#1 2002 Model Flat Tube 60Hz 27" Screen
TV#2 2011 3D Ready 1080p 120Hz 63" Screen

Just for giggles I plugged in the RCA cables (Red, White, Yellow) to my new tv to play the PS3. Resolution is set to a maximum of 480p for these cables. Picture quality is terrible! Rainbow effect & nothing looks good. But, when hooked up to the old school tv same method, looks great!

Now normally I do run the latest 1.4 HDMI cables & use the 3D glasses & all that good stuff, but this was just for my own amusement, now that i've seen the difference, I want to know.....why......

So the question???? Why, does an advanced piece of technology not look nearly as good under these circumstances as the old school tv which looks great?



Answer
The old school TV is designed for the 480 that the composite cable gives it. Your new TV has to artificially increase the resolution of the TV from 480 lines to 1080 lines. Some TV's do a better job doing this than others.
