What should I spend my back taxes on!!?




Ryan


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.

What av cable should i buy for the ps2?

I have a ps2 av cable but it is damaged. I have a Toshiba 46 in lcd hdtv and I saw some ps3 cables that work for the ps2. Should I buy the normal or hd cables for my ps2?


Answer
Since PS2 only has an output port for AV cables and your Toshiba is HDTV; you should buy a Component AV cable. That will give you the best quality possible.

Take a look at this:

This is the official Component AV cable for Playstation 2 and 3

What camcorder works with Mac and the HD quality can be viewed on my 1080 46 inch sony?




Shree P


Id like a camcorder. Couple year older is fine i can get it on ebay that records in HD and is compatible to download onto my Mac. AND that if I want I can burn onto a disc and watch them with HD quality on my 1080 Tv?
I would also like to edit the videos once downloaded so I can make movies so i want the software to be all recognized.



Answer
What is your budget?

Which Apple Macintosh?
The MacBook Air and some MacBooks have no firewire port so that takes miniDV tape camcorders off the table - but just for them. ALL other Macs made in the last 10 years have a firewire port. If the Mac is running OSX, has an Intel CPU and is running iMovie '08 or newer, then AVCHD camcorders will get along.

This gets the high definition video into the computer for editing...

Now for output...

Assuming you have a Blu Ray player connected to your HDTV, you should get a Blu Ray burner connected to your Mac... LaCie makes good ones...

Another option is to connect your Mac to the HDTV - no need to burn a disk. Or get a MacMini to be a media server. The new ones can connect using either HDMI or component (+ audio).

Which DVD player...
If you have only a regular DVD player, there is nothing you can do to *make* it play high definition video, so just use iDVD and have it downsample the high def video to standard def and render for you.

But you have not supplied enough information and we don't know what you have so we don't know if your specific environment is equipped to do what you want.

I've been capturing high definition video, importing to Macs, editing and playing back standard and high definition video for about five years... using Sony and Canon camcorders...

best hdtv to buy 2013 image



Tyler


Hello, I'm planning on saving up for a Samsung LED HDTV. I'd like it to be 55 inches or more, I don't really care to have smart technology, and I'd love for it to be one of the ultra slim ones. It seems for 55 inches I'll be paying about 1100 dollars, for 60 inches its 1300 dollars, and any more than that, they automatically add the smart technology so its 2,500 or above. But I was just wondering how much a tv's price may drop in about a year from now. I've seen that 55 inch LED's used to be 2200 dollars but now they are 800-1200. How much do these prices usually drop in about a year with the new technology?

This is the tv I plan on buying:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Samsung+-+60%26%2334%3B+Class+-+LED+-+1080p+-+120Hz+-+HDTV/6847446.p?id=1218809261672&skuId=6847446



Answer
It's a tough thing to figure.

A particular model that you like may have a limited shelf-life. Manufacturers tend to make new models in order to keep prices up. Though the price of model 55-123LED (making this model number up) may be $1500 right now...conventional wisdom means that this model should be cheaper next year. The problem is that the manufacturer stops making this model and replaces it with the 55-321LED. Though it is completely identical to the old one...it is a 2013 model and therefore will still be worth the $1500 as a 'current' model.

The best time to purchase last years model is just before/just after the new ones hit the shelves. Stores will cut prices to make room for the new ones. If you wait to long though...you will find last years models hard to find.

A couple of tips for you:
A Good sale can happen anytime. It doesn't have to be Black Friday, Columbus Day, etc. Keep an eye on weekly ads from the major retailers in your area...as well as the online shops. With Price-Matching (which most major retailers offer)...anyone's sale could be a sale for your local store.

Don;t be afraid to ask for a discount. You have to believe that EVERYTHING is negotiable. You don;t have to be rude about it...just a simple "Is there any other way to save money on this TV?" I got 5% off my TV at Fry's Electronics simply by calling the manager over and asking if they're was any way he could save a few bucks (told him I was just a bit short on covering the full cost + taxes). Salesman/managers may know of coupons, etc that can save a few bucks.

what LED hdtv should I buy to avoid noticing any Lag whatsover?




Joe


Hi I have 2 Vizio HDTV. One is an LED and it is a 120 HZ and it is a 47 inch and the other is an LCD 47 inch one and also 120 hz. Now I am gonna give you a great example. You know for anyone who watches NBC Sunday Night Football and they go to the replay and the NBC Logo comes up to show the replay and after they show the replay the NBC Logs comes up again to go back to Live TV, well this is a great example because I notice somewhat of a lag when that happens and I see like a ghosting effect I guess and I also notice the pixels when that happens. It happens on other channels too but I notice it more on NBC Sunday Night Football. I have HD Directv with HDMI cable. So that isn't the problem. It is crazy because the other night I also watched the game on NFL Game Rewind app on the IPAD MINI and I didn't notice any lag whatsoever during the game. Is this lag or ghosting or whatever you want to call it caused by the response time of the TV or is it caused by the Refresh rate of the TV. I mean both of my Vizio TV's are doing the same thing and I even have a 3rd Sony 60 hz tv and it does it on that as well. So my questions are as follows:

1)Is the Lag caused by the Response Time or the Refresh Rate or what exactly?

2)Why is it on the IPAD Mini I didn't notice the lag?

3)I want the images to be crisp without any lag or ghosting or anything like that. What specifications on the TV should I look for?

4)For a 2013 say tv between a 30 to 39 inch what exact tv model do I look at to not see any lag etc?

5)How about a 40 to 50 inch TV which model should I look at?

6)Do I buy instead a monitor that is like 27 inch or 32 inch with an hdmi with a response time of say 1 ms. Please let me know.

Please answer each of my above 6 questions in details. Thanks.
For the Panasonic Plasma I should get a 1080P right rather than a 720P. The only problem that I have with Plasmas is that the picture is way too dim compared to the LED or LCD TV and I like a picture that is very bright. Please help. Thanks.



Answer
It's just a lag based on the distance of the TV and box from the satellite and just the broadcast in general. One of my family members had the same issue they have a 20 inch LED tv in their bedroom and a 32 inch LED tv in there living room. You can hear the TV's echo each other when on the same channel. Next the reason you didn't notice any lag on the iPad Mini is because it wasn't a live stream of it, it was a replay of what happened. So it's not looking for the live feed of the game over the internet, it's downloading it to the iPad's temporary memory just so it can play it through. This really isn't the TV at all VIZIO TV's are great options. This goes back to just DirecTV's ability to get the live video to the satellites and then to TV's across the US mainly. The only option would be to get a 240 Hz or 480 Hz HDTV but I really don't recommend that because those are mainly LCD TV's and LCD is probably the last option you want for a TV. LED is the best quality for a TV and LCD is better for a computer screen image. Overall for TV screen sizes you asked. The Best options are Samsung with there Smart HDTV's, Sharp's new IGZO display HDTV's, then Samsung is always reliable choice for HDTV's

Any advice in general for buying/shopping for one?
Would I be better off purchasing it before or after Christmas?
Any advice in particular for buying one in Manhattan?



Answer
It doesn't really matter if you buy your tv before or after christmas. Most retailers have those price match policy for 1 month for appliances- that if you buy it now for that low price and the price changed after a week, you can then have that price matched if you go to their customer service and show them your receipt.

Good Luck!

What is the best flat panel hdtv around 16-22inches?




jhwang420


what is the best quality hdtv flat panel that has a pretty good price as well.. im gonna be using it for my college dorm room...around 16-22 inches


Answer
At 16-22 inches go for a 720p LCD or Plasma. Unless you are sitting very close to your screen or using it for a computer display, 1080p is going to be overkill.

At 16-22 inches and 720p, most big brands will offer about the same quality (There really havent been any advancements for panels that small at 720p in a while, manufactures are focusing on larger 1080p sets now). Try to stick with a major brand and youll be fine: Samsung, Toshiba, Sony, Sharp, Panasonic, LG..

You could even look into a 22-24" Dell LCD monitor that has DVI and Component inputs.. the downside with this youll need a cable box/direct tv to play video on it and youll need some sort of extra sound set-up since the Dell LCD monitors dont have speakers built in.

best hdtv reviews 2010 image



Sarah


If we have the money, which we do.
It is a Hitachi UltraVision 55" Rear-Projection LCD HDTV and the reviews seem good plus 0% financing til 2010.
Am I an idiot for not getting this TV since we want an HDTV?



Answer
I'm a big Hitachi fan and own one myself, a 51 inch CRT RPTV. I looked at the LCD set myself, but upon extensive research went the 'Old School' route with the CRT for a multitude of reasons, the first being rather poor reviews on the picture quality of the LCD.

It was this which got me to thinking as the ONLY benefit of LCD over a CRT based set is it's ability to be hung on a wall. But when you take that LCD and house it in a RPTV you give up it's only advatage, that being space saving.

Now when you look at it terms of picture quality there's simply no comparison as CRT is still the recognized 'King of the Hill' by most experts in the field, it's true balcks, natural color representation and overall realistic diplay far and above that offered by either Plasma or LCD.

OK, so it doesn't seem as sexy right? How can this 'Old Tech' stand up to the latest and greatest? Well, both Sony and Mitsubishi have ceased any and all R+D in the field of Plasma and will no longer produce sets utilizing this technology. Hmmm, must be a reason don't you think?

And let's examine the hidden cost of LCD, be it flat panal or RPTV as well as DLP. These require what is known as an Arc Lamp to provide the backlighting for a picture to be seen and the do an admorable job of this...for about two years! Then, as your picture dims you consult your manual which will tell you a bulb change is in order. "OK, no problem" you say to yourself as you dial up the local repair shop, only to have your jaw drop when you find the replacement will set you back anywhere from $200-$300 smackers!

Of course you won't here this from your helpful sales person down at Circuit City or Best Buy and the factories are as tight lipped as a Nun at a Porn convention and who can blame them. They'll not sell sets if this becomes public knowledge, and their plan is that when these sets start to fail they'll be right there with the latest tech to hook them up again. Yup, planned obsolecence at it's finest. Don't worry, SED is due out sometime in 2008 to fill the bill and by 2010 it may even be affordable, just in time to replace all those bum Plasma and LCD sets.

In effect it was thst CRT sets lasted so long that was there undoing, most giving trouble free service day in and day out for 10-15 years. Believe me, it wasn't performance which signed their death warrant.

Now that being said I'm going to recommend you take a step back and look at this set. It's the Hitachi f59 series CRT RPTV, available in 51, 57 and 65 inch models. The 51 is usually $799, the 57 goes $999 on sale and the 65 about $1200. But I've seen the 65 as low as $1000 on sale and I picked up the 51 for $699 shipped so it pays to watch for the right sale.

These babies have a native resolution of 1080i and are the best bang for your buck available today, bar none. No bulbs to worry about and a picture that is unriveled below the $3000 mark, and even then it's still a level playing field. Believe me, I did my home work and searched far and wide before plunking down my hard earned dollars and I'm glad I did. The folks who live and breath TV swear by these and with good reason though you'd be hard pressed to believe it by looking at a show room model. It's when you get it home and tweek the settings that the magic happens, then you've got a set that will put anything to shame.

Heck, you can email me for the optimal settings if you do purchase one, settings derived using light and color meters, calibration disks and years of eyes on experience to achieve them. There's a wealth of info to be had over on the AVS Forum on these beauties, sort of like having a tech on call. In fact one of the regular contributers is an ISF Calibration Tech, a guy who makes his living helping folks achieve perfection on their home theater systems.

Alright, the answer WAS a bit long winded but I'd hate for you to make a poor decision due to lack of proper info. Good luckand happy viewing, regardless of what you ultimatly decide to purchase.

Is Panasonic a good Plasma TV brand?

Is Panasonic 50" 1080p Plasma HDTV TC-P50U2 a good model?
Thanks everyone.

I listed that model because I received a promotion code that can knock down this specific model price to $700.

But too bad, it is already sold out just now lol



Answer
Panasonic has more plasma tv being recommended than any manufacturer in the market today. They are also the most reliable brand. Go online to Home Theater Magazine and read the reviews on tvs, along with the pro and con of each technology. In November issue of the magazine it named the Panasonic plasma V model as the best tv for 2010. The G and V models are the certified THX (higher video standard for tv set by Lucas film industries). The 50" G20 model available only at Best Buy is for under $1,100. Hope this will help you out.

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.

The image quality of an analog tv can sometimes be poor.

Is Denmark the first country to mandate the change from analog TV to digital transition? I mean, before US mandated the change.



Answer
Not really. For example, on a large screen LCD HDTV, an analog signal won't look as good as it does on a smaller screen analog TV. On the other hand, an over-the-air digital channel in the U.S., received via a set top converter on an old analog TV, can look a lot better than the former analog signal from the same channel.

If you're unsure about a set or monitor and can't figure it out from the user's guide, search the make and model in Google. A hit on several different sites, Amazon in particular, will give you the set's specs.

What type of picture quality do you get if you hook a coax cable to an HD TV?




Bri


What type of picture quality do you get if you hook a coax cable to an HD TV? I know a cable box gives you optimal picture quality. It's an xmas idea for my grandmother, she has an ancient TV and thought this may be better than what she has now. She doesn't have a cable box and won't want to spend the monthly charges for the equipment. Is the picture quality better than an old school tube tv?


Answer
It depends. HDTVs in the U.S. all come with at least two tuners, one for over-the-air digital and one for old-style analog. If your new TV has only those two tuners and you connect it to basic cable service (no box), you can expect the cable channels to look worse than on the old TV. The reason is an HDTV is a digital receiver, and it must compromise an analog signal in order to display it.

Now, most HDTVs come with an optional 3rd tuner, QAM. That's for unencrypted digital channels on the cable, and most cable systems have them. Some of those channels will be in HD and will look as good as any HD source. QAM channels are mainly the local broadcast stations.

Caveat: the days of unencrypted digital channels on cable in the U.S. are numbered. In fact, the point will eventually be reached where there are no channels at all that don't require some type of set top box. The FCC is lifting some of those requirements at the end of 2012, so anyone investing in something related to basic cable today needs to plan ahead for the eventual requirement to upgrade to a box.

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!

Can I take full advantage of HD quality movies on my 22" LCD, or do I need a bigger display?




aanidaani


I'm just wondering if it's worth having an HD player hooked up to my LCD or if I need a bigger screen to fully appreciate HD quality movies. Obviously a bigger screen would be nice, but I just want to know if the difference between normal DVDs and HD DVDs will really be noticeable on a screen of my size. Thanks!


Answer
Our eyes can only resolve HD resolutions at certain distances.

Standard DVD (and tube TV's) are 480p. 720x480 = 345,600 pixels

HD at 720p is 1280x720 = 921,600 pixels

Full HD 1080p is 1920x1080 = 2,073,600 pixels

There is also more color graduations and contrast over 480p at 720p/1080p resolutions.

I've always read the general rule of thumb for seating distances are as follows:

480p, sit 2 x the screen measurement away to not see the pixels. So on a 32" TV, sit 64" or 5.3 feet away.

720p, sit 1.5 x the screen measurement to not see pixels (but to see the improved resolution). So on a 42" HDTV, sit 63" or 5.25 feet away.

At 1080p, you need to sit only 1 x the screen size to not see pixels AND to see the full HD res. So on a 42' 1080p HDTV, sit 42" away, or only 3.5 feet for your eyes to notice all the resolution.

So, your 22" is a PC monitor at 1680x1050 ? You would probably have the screen only 2 feet away to really observe all the detail.

What kind of Antenna for HDTV?

high quality indoor hdtv antenna
 on HDTV Antenna Belkin AV48001 Enjoy High quality digital Channel
high quality indoor hdtv antenna image
Q. ...just got an hdtv. It picks up some digital channels pixelized with no antenna. I have a few general antennas throughout the house. Will any of these work, or do you need a special HD or Digital antenna?


Answer
HDTV uses the same antennas as normal over the air television. The only difference is with amplified antennas, they generally require a higher quality amplifier as the cheap ones for analog television can distort the digital signal more than it improves it. Some antennas that say they're especially for HDTV may be designed to better reduce multipath interference. Your best bet is a directional outdoor antenna, but if you're getting stations even with no antenna, I'd just try one of those general antennas you already have and see what kind of results you get. The problem I had with indoor antennas was that when people walked around in the house it could make the signal go all pixelated. But like I said, if it's strong enough to where you're getting stuff with no antenna, might not be a problem for you. Start with the simplest/cheapest solution first and work your way up.

Is CABLE TV compatible with an LCD or Plasma TV?

Is CABLE TV compatible with an LCD or Plasma TV?

I was at a friends home...they were connected to CABLE and the picture quality was pretty bad...However if you popped in a DVD...the picture quality was excellent



Answer
Basic cable broadcasts are analog and only around 425 interlaced lines maximum. To see a better picture, you would need either a HDTV signal, or a Satellite box. Cable companies claim to have digital boxes, but this is mostly marketing hype, because the channel are certainly not as high res as DVD, unless they are HDTV. If you are in a big city, you should be able to receive most HDTV channels with an indoor antenna. These channels will display at 480P, 720P and 1080i, all of which are equal to or better than DVD.

I have a blue ray player and a HDTV but am not getting true Blue ray quality?




jaidenmbwi


I have a Phillips Blue Ray Player and a Phillips 32" LCD HDTV. I have them connected with a HDMI cable. I am NOT getting Blue Ray quality. When I go to electronic stores and see the same sort of setup the picture quality is amazing (of course that's what Blue Ray is known for).

What do I need to change or adjust to get the picture quality I am supposed to get?

Yes, I am using a Blu ray player and a Blu Ray DVD.



Answer
Real Blu-Ray quality is 1080 P FULL HD resolutions .
if you 32 inc HDTV is HD READY 720 P models, is unable to provide /display 1080 FULL HD quality.
i believe you TV is standard HD READY 720 P models.
you really cant do any things about it. unless change to FULL HD 1080 P models.

best hdtv picture quality 2010 image

Ok, so LED TV is all the rage these days, LCD is slowly improving, and DLP...well it's still DLP.

From what I've heard, despite the improvements other TV technologies have made, Plasma still offers the best picture quality (even over LED). Is this true? I'm looking to buy an HDTV and would like to hear from all of you...which type of HDTV offers the best picture quality?



Answer
Yes, Plasma still has the best picture quality!

The only advantage it's closest competitor has(LED TV) is in energy consumption! LED LCD TVs use up to 50% less energy then standard LCD or Plasma TVs! But what's the point of saving money on energy when you have to pay so much more for the TV? It's negating the energy savings!

Otherwise...Plasma TVs still have better "native" contrast ratios. Up to 5,000,000:1 in some 2010 models! They also have the fastest response times(.001ms) and fastest refresh rates(600hz). Making them the best at producing the sharpest and smoothest motion possible. Perfect for fast motion content like sports, movies and gaming!

The reason i used "native" contrast ratio rather then "dynamic" is because dynamic is a useless number! The definition of Dynamic contrast ratio is the measurement of a TVs ability to render it's blackest black and whitest white in a non-specified amount of time or frames. I don't like going by a TV's dynamic contrast ratio because this number is not controlled by any other source other then the manufacturer of the TV. So basically the manufacturer can use any or all means necessary to get this number! There's no way to prove that the TV can actually obtain this number!

Native' contrast ratio on the other hand is considerably more accurate and a better number to go by if you want to get an idea of the TV's picture quality capabilities! Native contrast ratio is the measurement of a TVs ability to render it's blackest black and whitest white on a single frame.

And ONLY plasma's can obtain this high of a native contrast ratio. This is because of each one of their pixels can be turned on or off! Creating a wider field of contrast. LCD TVs cannot accomplish this do to the backlight sources. Even the smallest backlight source(LED) covers an area of tens or hundreds of pixels! Rendering their native contrast ratios much lower.

Go with a Panasonic Plasma TV and you will not be dissappointed! Happy hunting!

The fcc will allow hd transmission in 2010. How does one purchase a digital to analog converter box .?




nashua3200


also if you have hd tv set,how do you get your old analog recorders to work properly. d/a converter?? Will the FCC grant an extention from hd transmissions until people have a better Idea of what is envolved.


Answer
There are already digital TV broadcasts, including "HD" ones. What is happening is that after 2/17/09, almost all analog over the air broadcasts will stop.

You can buy converters for your old analog TV and recorders now, but most people are waiting until March 2008 when cheaper converters should be in the stores and the government will be sending out discount coupons that will bring the cost of the first two converters down to about $20 each.

These converters are for use with an antenna only; satellite and cable companies usually supply the conversion for their customers.

The converters only tune into on channel at a time. To change that channel you have to either use a remote control (included with converter) or press buttons on the converter box. This means that you won't be able to program your analog recorders to change the channels.

All the HDTVs I know of have analog inputs, so there isn't any problem hooking your analog recorders to them. The problem is that if you have a large screen, the picture quality will not be that great

You can also buy DVD recorders with digital (ATSC) tuners built in. I was in Walmart yesterday; they had their cheapest one down to $135. They only record in SD quality, but at least you can program them like an old VCR.

The chances of the government (FCC) changing the 2/17/09 cutoff is pretty close to zero. They are planning on getting a big pile of money by selling off some surplus channels.

The transition is to digital TV (DTV), not HDTV; some programming is not in HD. This doesn't matter if you are using a converter because they convert it all to analog with about the same quality as you get from a DVD player.

Toshiba 50L1350U 50" LCD HDTV

Before Oct. 2nd, 2013, I received several HD and SD channels by connecting my cable. I have comcast internet but no tv service.

Today, all I get is the music channels above 90.

I was under the impression that over-the-air channels are available for free, is this not the case?

Did the digital TV tuner stop working?

Is this part of the FCC/Government shutdown?



Answer
You have a fundamental misunderstanding. "Over-the-air" means you receive it with an antenna, from the TV station's transmitting antenna in your area. Yes, that is free, but you only get it with an antenna, not from your cable outlet.

In the U.S..at least, there is nothing free on cable service--it's all provided by private companies, and they have to get paid via customer subscriptions.

What you were seeing on the cable was Comcast's "no-box" channels, receivable without one of their set top boxes. Those were all standard-def analog plus some HD channels. You saw those HD channels because your TV has an optional QAM tuner.

You had continuity on the cable to your home as an Internet subscriber, which got you those no-box channels as a bonus, so they weren't free. You can't see them now because Comcast and all cable companies are rapidly migrating their analog channels to their digital packages that require some type of box. When it's done, as it apparently was in your area on October 2nd, there are no TV channels left on the cable that are receivable without a box. It was done in my area over a year ago.

So, if you want TV from Comcast, you'll have to upgrade your subscription and get a box.

what LED hdtv should I buy to avoid noticing any Lag whatsover?




Joe


Hi I have 2 Vizio HDTV. One is an LED and it is a 120 HZ and it is a 47 inch and the other is an LCD 47 inch one and also 120 hz. Now I am gonna give you a great example. You know for anyone who watches NBC Sunday Night Football and they go to the replay and the NBC Logo comes up to show the replay and after they show the replay the NBC Logs comes up again to go back to Live TV, well this is a great example because I notice somewhat of a lag when that happens and I see like a ghosting effect I guess and I also notice the pixels when that happens. It happens on other channels too but I notice it more on NBC Sunday Night Football. I have HD Directv with HDMI cable. So that isn't the problem. It is crazy because the other night I also watched the game on NFL Game Rewind app on the IPAD MINI and I didn't notice any lag whatsoever during the game. Is this lag or ghosting or whatever you want to call it caused by the response time of the TV or is it caused by the Refresh rate of the TV. I mean both of my Vizio TV's are doing the same thing and I even have a 3rd Sony 60 hz tv and it does it on that as well. So my questions are as follows:

1)Is the Lag caused by the Response Time or the Refresh Rate or what exactly?

2)Why is it on the IPAD Mini I didn't notice the lag?

3)I want the images to be crisp without any lag or ghosting or anything like that. What specifications on the TV should I look for?

4)For a 2013 say tv between a 30 to 39 inch what exact tv model do I look at to not see any lag etc?

5)How about a 40 to 50 inch TV which model should I look at?

6)Do I buy instead a monitor that is like 27 inch or 32 inch with an hdmi with a response time of say 1 ms. Please let me know.

Please answer each of my above 6 questions in details. Thanks.
For the Panasonic Plasma I should get a 1080P right rather than a 720P. The only problem that I have with Plasmas is that the picture is way too dim compared to the LED or LCD TV and I like a picture that is very bright. Please help. Thanks.



Answer
It's just a lag based on the distance of the TV and box from the satellite and just the broadcast in general. One of my family members had the same issue they have a 20 inch LED tv in their bedroom and a 32 inch LED tv in there living room. You can hear the TV's echo each other when on the same channel. Next the reason you didn't notice any lag on the iPad Mini is because it wasn't a live stream of it, it was a replay of what happened. So it's not looking for the live feed of the game over the internet, it's downloading it to the iPad's temporary memory just so it can play it through. This really isn't the TV at all VIZIO TV's are great options. This goes back to just DirecTV's ability to get the live video to the satellites and then to TV's across the US mainly. The only option would be to get a 240 Hz or 480 Hz HDTV but I really don't recommend that because those are mainly LCD TV's and LCD is probably the last option you want for a TV. LED is the best quality for a TV and LCD is better for a computer screen image. Overall for TV screen sizes you asked. The Best options are Samsung with there Smart HDTV's, Sharp's new IGZO display HDTV's, then Samsung is always reliable choice for HDTV's

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 you collect all three stamps at McDonalds for their monopoly contest, do you automatically win that prize?




Zack and B


I've been playing the McDonald's monopoly thing and have almost collected all of one color and I want to know if you definitely win that prize.


Answer
Ah, the McDonald's Monopoly game... chasing after that one color stamp to win the big prize. If only it was that simple.

First of all, if you like McDonald's and you are happy about winning a food prize, its ok to play. Here's how it breaks down:•Medium Fries ($1.75) – Odds 1 in 9, or 11.1% chance you win.
• Quarter Pounder w/ Cheese ($3.60) – Odds 1 in 44, or 2.3% chance you win.
• Small McCafe or Smoothie ($2.40) – Odds 1 in 44, or 2.3% chance you win.
• McFlurry ($2.55) – Odds 1 in 44, or 2.3% chance you win.
• Breakfast Sandwich ($2.65) — Odds 1 in 22, or 4.6% chance you win

The other instant prizes (winning a DVD rental from a Red Box) to headphones are tougher. The DVD is 1 in 101 and the odds go up from there.

Now for the challenge - getting the properties. The truth is that whatever property group you need, one space is much, much, much more difficult to get than the others. Take the Red group (Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky) which gives you one of 40 plane tickets - the odds of getting Indiana or Illinois are around 1 in 10. The odds of getting Kentucky Ave., however, is 1 in 15 million.

Here is a list of the odds for all of the properties (plus the toughest one of each set to obtain):
BROWN: Mediterranean Ave, odds 1 in 30 million wins $1,000.
• LIGHT BLUE: Vermont Ave, odds 1 in 40 million, wins $5,000.
• PINK: Virginia Ave, odds 1 in 200 million, wins $10,000
• ORANGE: Tennessee Ave, odds 1 in 602 million, wins Super Bowl tickets.
• RED: Kentucky Ave, odds 1 in 15 million, wins one of 40 plane tickets for two.
• YELLOW: Ventnor Ave, odds 1 in 300 million, wins $20,000
• GREEN: Pennsylvania Ave, odds 1 in 40 million, wins one of 15 Fiat cars.
• BLUE: Boardwalk, 1 in 602 million, wins $1,000,000 in $50,000 annual payments.
• RAILROADS: Short Line railroad, 1 in 150 million, wins a year's supply of gas.

Do you see the challenge? It's not getting two of the three properties, it's getting the extremely scarce third one.

Here, btw, are the odds for winning the non-food prizes:
40 point MyCoke Reward (or medium Coke) - 1 in 151
$5 McDonald's Arch card - 1 in 21,518
EA Sports $10 promo code - 1 in 161
$10 Shell Gift Card - 1 in 60,250
Hasbro Monopoly Board Game - 1 in 60,250
$25 Shell Gift Card - 1 in 86,071
Shutterfly 8x8 PhotoBook - 1 in 302
EA Sports Game - 1 in 35,441
$50 - 1 in 60,250
ur Beats Earphones - 1 in 4,061,000
$100 - 1 in 105,701
Panasonic Lumix TS20 Digital Still camera - 1 in 1,506,202
Beats by Dr. Dre Phil Speaker - 1 in 4,016,601
Headphones - 1 in 301,245,030
Panasonic Viera 50-inch Plasma HDTV - 1 in 10,401,541
$5,000 - 1 in 40,166,041
EA Sports NFL Game Experience - 1 in 10,041,541
Beaches Resorts Vacation - 4,634,539
Ace Hardware $7,500 Home Fix-Up - 1 in 31,710,004
NFL Pro Bowl Experience - 30,124,503
2013 Fiat 500 Hatchback - 1 in 60,249,006
2013 Fiat 500 Cabrio - 1 in 60,249,006
$20,000 - 1 in 200,830,020
$100,000 - 1 in 301,245,030

So the morale of the story is if you want to win Medium Fries, you have a good chance of going away happy; otherwise, don't count on anything else.
