Jacked up picture on LCD HDTV?




Jeff


I have a 32 inch Westinghouse LC HDTV. I turned it on and the picture is all scrambled and moving very slow. The audio is fine. Am I screwed? Everything is plugged in and it was working just fine hours ago. It is not currently hooked up through a HDMI cable, just a regular cable.


Answer
Try emailing the manufacturer and see what they say. Cheap brand LCD tvs are made of low quality parts and they don't last long. I was in the market for a 32" LCD a couple of months ago and went on online to Best Buy and read all the customer reviews and Panasonic had the best reviews. This is comparing them to Samsung, Sony and Toshiba the top brands. Look at each LCD tv from the size angle and see how much picture will disappear, you will notice that Panasonic picture will remain constant. Go online to Home Theater Magazine and read the reviews on tvs. You will notice that Panasonic has a tv recommended in each price category of entry level to the high end, while Samsung, Sony and Toshiba does not. Other brands like LG, Sharp, Sanyo and Vizio did not even get mentioned. Hope this will help you out.

What 32 inch HDTV should I buy?

I am looking to buy a 32 inch HDTV for my room for Christmas and I'm not quite sure which to buy. It must be 32 inches (no larger, no smaller), it must 1080p, and it would be nice if it had Picture in Picture feature but it's not necessary. I plan on connecting it to a PS2, PS3 and Super Nintendo (Dam right, old school) so it needs to have the connections for those, or at least the PS2/3. Any suggestions on to which TV I should buy?


Answer
1. Buy quality!
2. The two top dogs in 32" LCD, for both performance AND reliability, are Panasonic Viera and Sony Bravia. A bit less expensive, but still good quality, is Toshiba Regza followed by Sharp and Samsung. After these 5 brands, quality just falls off too fast.
3. You don't NEED 1080p in a 32" screen. You'll never be able to tell the difference from 720p unless you are playing a 1080p BRD, using an HDMI cable, and sitting with your nose INCHES away from the screen. 1080p in a screen size less than about 50" is a waste of $$$, but it's your $$$ to throw away on marketing hype, should you wish.
