Memorex 32" HDTV MLT3221 used as a PC monitor...how do I sharpen the image quality?




Umm What?


Images and text are shadowed and fuzzy. using Nvidia 9500 with a DVI-VGA connector. I've adjusted resolutions, changed viewing modes on the tv, currently using "User" mode. Xbox 360 looks great.


Answer
Don't use an analog connection like VGA.

Your HDTV should have an HDMI port, which you can connect to your 9500's DVI port. DVI-to-HDMI is a digital connection and should give you a much clearer picture.

I'm using my 52" LCD HDTV as a monitor, and it's connected to my computer using a DVI-to-HDMI cable. It works fabulously, with a razor-sharp image. http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f347/armchairaviator/computer/IMG_0880c.jpg

DVI-to-HDMI cables are cheap. I got mine for $8 at Newegg.

Hope this helps.

HD TV without HD service, image quality?




Kxnny


I just bought a new HDTV and I got a regular DirectTV box and it runs on those red/white/yellow connectors and I was wondering if I upgraded to a HD DirectTV box with HDMI connector but without the HD service, would my image improve? Or does it not matter. I just want it to have better quality image. The guide that comes with it says that the A/V(red/white/yellow connectors) have the lowest quality image.
Better image quality on my Direct TV that is. Also those channel I watch will not have HD, I don't care about the HD I just want to know if the image would improve from A/V connection to HDMI connections on Direct TV
Well it is a bit blurry in the background at certain images.... it is a 40inch led lcd 1080p 120hz Samsung 6300. I just want to know if i can get rid of those blur if I used a hd box instead regular ones.... i dont care about HD, I'm using it to watchin asian channels that dont offer HD.....



Answer
1 ) HDTV connect to regular Direct TV box via RCA red/white/yellow cable = normal pictures quality.
2 ) HDTV connect to HD Direct TV box *without the HD service, via HDMI cable = normal pictures quality , because the " signals still normal resolution not HD 720P resolution .
3 ) HDTV connect to HD Direct TV box *with HD service / paid for HD services via HDMI cable = better pictures quality / better image from HD channel ( but not all channel are HD ) , because the " signals is digital 720P resolution and you HD TV will display up to 720P resolution.
4 ) All HD TV built in digital tuner ( ACST in USA / DVB-T in European ) , you can get free view on air TV channel with HD 720P resolution , plug in you out door antenna you also enjoy HD TV from some HD channel. * in door antenna may be not so clear, depends of area *
keeps in mind . Pictures image depends of you TV " quality ". also you in-put signals.
you in-put source master the display resolution . if you in-put is only 480P resolution to you HD 720P TV even 1080P TV, you get max 480P resolution display. is nothings to do with RCA cable or HDMI. of course only HDMI able to handle / transfer digital 720P / 1080 P signals.

Should I wait for the 2013 50 inch Plasma TVs to arrive?




cpalmsvibe


I need some advice. I am currently looking at the Panasonic TCP50ST50. I can get it for around $875 given the sales, CC discount, and points I have saved up. But, should I buy this TV now, or wait for the 2013 models to arrive. Here are my needs: I cannot go larger than 50 inch. Picture Quality is the number 1 priority. I have surround sound already set up. The TV will be an a basement that has windows, but still a dark room. I will be using it mostly for HDTV, Blue Ray DVD, and some gaming. I have a Wii U so I already have an ability to stream into my Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, and Hulu accounts. So the questions would be: approx how much will the 2013 50 inch models be? Is Panasonic still the best? And will the new features on the 50" models be worth the extra expense?


Answer
You should consider the LED TV, tough the price is higher for that size. I find that the picture quality is better and the newer models are also equipped with a number of features (i.e.3D , direct internet connection, youtube streaming). Wait for the new models to be launched, so that the older models' price will drop. Samsung and Sony are also quite good choices.

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.

40 vs. 46 Samsung LCD HDTV - same price, different specs, SD quality?




Dexter


I'm not posting the question once again, I found a completely new TV: should I get the 40", 4ms response time and 70000-100000:1 (not sure yet) contrast with Wi-Fi (and YouTube apps etc.) and direct USB video straming and 1gb hard drive TV with some new systems like ultra-crystal screen or somthing, or the older 46" 5ms response time 40000:1 TV for the same price? I'll be sitting ca. 10ft from the TV, but I will mostly play Wii and watch in SD, sometimes HD movies and sports. And I've heard the bigger the screen, the worse the SD quality. Is it true? Please help me decide! Thanks!


Answer
"The bigger the screen the worse the SD" is true up to a certain point. But if both TVs are natively 1920x1080, then SD is going to look about the same. If you had a smaller TV whose native resolution was 1280x720, or thereabouts, then the SD might look a bit better (as less up-scaling would have to be performed). But manufacturers are getting better with the up-scaling.

Ignore all those contrast ratio numbers you have. By the time you're into those numbers, you're not going to see a huge difference in sets, especially at 10ft away. Is there a difference? Sure, but it just won't be intensely noticeable when you take a realistic look at things.

I would likely lean towards the 40" option myself. That sounds like a series 7 model you're quoting. Those are sweet TV sets. But if the 46" model has a 120Hz refresh rate, then it might still be a valid choice. At that point I would have to look at all those bells and whistles that the 40" one has and see if I'd actually use any of them. If yes, then stick it out with the smaller set. If no, and the 46" is 120Hz, then it may serve you better at a 10 foot viewing distance.

Which TV should I get RCA or Insignia? Both are 46" Class / 1080p / 120Hz / LCD HDTV?




hmmmmmm


Both are 46" Class / 1080p / 120Hz / LCD HDTV
If you have to pic one which would it be?
There's a 100 dollar difference for the RCA.



Answer
BOTH BRAND ARE UNRELIABLE TV.
Insignia are local in house trademarks / brand. TV only sold un USA. all products is by small TV maker in China. use low prices / Low quality parts. failure rate is high. up to 20 % in 3 years. 15 % of TV getting power supply problems in 2 years.you can get the same TV sold in third world countries under other buyer brand .* Some Insignia TV may use LG Korea made LCD display Panel , but sales people told you TV is by LG , beware of this )
RCA . world NO 1 in TV during 60s / 70s . however the USA no 1 Electronics trademark / brand sold to Thomson SA France around 1996 . and Thomson group sold the BRAND name - RCA to China TCL group . all RCA TV manufactures by China TCL. you able to get the same model sold under TCL brand in China or under other Buyer brand in third world countries. because is cheap. but unreliable.
you MAY not need a quality TV. in you mind , just a good TV within you budget.but keeps send TV for repair is FREE during warranty ( even 3 years warranty ) , but case transport / shipping charge and MAY with out TV from 1 to 4 even 6 weeks. because of quality. MAY need to replace LCD display panel in 3/4 years. beware of this issue. ( it make you mad ).
Worth to Paid more for International Brand for quality ( even you don't need ) + reliable ( you need ) .
Samsung and LG TV in quality and reliable .failure rate is 2 % max 3 % in 6-8 years.
there manufactures by own from end to end. use own made LCD display panel. designs back up by 40 years experience R & D team.quality always in control.even TV from Samsung China / Malaysia // LG China. but the oversea factory is 100 % OWN.
Insignia and RCA TV . take high risk . !! try not .
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
46 inc big screen . Panasonic Plasma is the best in quality and prices. Plasma always with out motion blur. true / deep dark colours . much better display quality than standard LCD TV. New Panasonic Plasma technologies make easy burn in / over heat not an issue any more. life time is 60,000 hours as good as LCD TV ( better life time than Insignia.RCA LCD TV ) . go for Panasonic 46 ins Plasma TV . best quality . great reasonable prices compare to same screen LCD.

Will the release of oled and 4k drop the price of regular tvs?




Original W


hello, i was wondering if anyone in the tv sales or home theatre communities thought that with the release of oled (organic light emiting diode) or 4k resolution tvs sometime in 2013, that the price of tvs that aren't oled or 4k will drop much like standard definition tvs dropped in price when high def came out? In case your wondering im looking at the price of a Panasonic Viera Tcp50st30. THANK YOU


Answer
Yes the prices will go down, but not all of a sudden. Like all other electronics, the prices are constantly going down. Even when HDTVs came out, the prices on standard television didn't dropped overnight. Also, OLEDs TVs and 4k TVs are still a novelty, with only very pricey model are available to the general public. It will take 2-3 years to become mainstream and to challenge the plasma/lcd/led prices.

This is especially true if you want to buy a very specific model, like your case. If you are willing to wait that model would be when the new models will come out (so the stores need to sell their old stock). This is usually in the February-April time frame.

What Tv should i buy?




IDK


Hi I am looking to buy a new tv, but I am having some problems. I want to buy the panasonic vt60 for the colors, motion, and black levels. The only thing keeping me from buying it is the line bleed, fan noise, and green dithering that show up in the picture where it isn't completely dark. I bought the panasonic gt50 last year and loved it but it had the problems I listed. The green dithering would have been acceptable if it couldn't have been seen from a normal viewing distance while in THX mode. Anyways now i am considering led TVs and was wondering what 2013 led tv can best compete with plasma? Right now I am considering the Sony 900a model. Is there a better 1080p Led tv than the sony?


Answer
The Samsung 8000 series would be a much better tv than the Sony. Pesonally, I have nevver owned a Sony product that have last more than 3 years. Purchased the first DVD players model 7000 and the 7700 both are the price of $1,100 each and the first HDTV 34" CRT and they all did not last more than e years. The new Panasonic ZT series Plasma tv is reviewed by Home Theater Magazine. This is compared to the old Pioneer Elite KURO tv. I would still recommend the Panasonic. I do use 4 Panasonic Plasma tv along with 3 LCD tv and never had one issue. Hope this will help you out.

best HDTVs for gaming?




xninjagrrl


I recently tried out a 46" 120hz insignia lcd (6.5 ms) from best buy and it was complete crap, had to return it. I was told that i needed the 120hz for gaming however when I tried to play any FPS the 120hz feature just made it so "laggy" i could not even attempt to play but when i turned the 120hz off it seemed okay.
I now have a cheapo 40" rca lcd from walmart (I believe 8ms and 60hz) nothing to write home about. with both of these tvs (more so with the rca) it is making fps games really hard to play. i would not say it seems like input lag, when i click A to jump my person jumps immediately etc. The best way I can describe it is when I look Left or Right, Up or Down it feels/looks really "jerky", god forbid I am also Moving while Looking, so jerky its not even funny. Also, sometimes I swear my cursor moves on its own, like I have auto aim set to "ON" which I do not. I notice this "moving cursor" thing mainly when there is alot of stuff happening in front of me (ie" a bunch of enemies running around in front of my cursor) I feel like I would be better off just using my 15 year old 27" sharp tv even though any text on it is unreadable and blurry which makes RPG impossible to play.

So what exactly do I need to do? I thought about trying out a plasma but they seem sooo dark, the cd/m2 ratings on plasmas seem very low and every plasma at the stores seem alot darker than lcds. And its not about the money, I would be okay with splurging a little on something that was actually worth it, so far I have been trying to be cheap about it and get 700 and 500 dollar tvs, which suck apparently. My goal would be to get a 46 or 47" 1080p, but I could live with a 40 or 42" I guess. I just want something that is bright, good black levels but still able to discern detail, and good for games. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

LG 32LH30 32-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV
http://www.mixxedbagg.com/2010/01/22/lg-32lh30-32-inch-1080p-lcd-hdtv/

Review: LG doesânt get enough praise.
Just bought this TV for the sake of it being an IPS panel and for its apparent adjustability (and also 1080p). Plus this tv is so easy to calibrate; the âpicture wizardâ is extremely helpful.
The amount of menu options is jaw-dropping, as is the style of the set. The LH40 model looks neat with the plastic square along the bottom of the panel, but I like the more minimalist look of the LH30, and I do not like the 120hz or the $100 price jump of the LH40.
I made a comparison to my sony 32M4000 (which I have now given to my father) and there are some interesting differences (many are polar opposites):
-The sound is far superior on the LG.
-Black levels are very close, sonyâs is a bit deeper and maintains black colors better at angles.
-The whiteness of whites is slightly better on the sony, but colors and mid tones definitely have more of a âpunchyâ factor on the LG.
-Color is amazing; rich and saturated; best ive seen on any LCD, period.
-Color does not wash out at all from different angles, only very dark colors and black tend to become discolored (blue or red depending on the angle).
-Of course there are far, far fewer picture options on the sony.
-My sony has a ghosting problem with dark colors, not so on the LG; motion blur and lag is also reduced too.
-OTA HD channels look decent enough, not as sharp as the sony, but the better color makes up for it imo.
What was the main factor that made me get this LG?..its S-IPS panel.
Samsung is an excellent maker of lcds, but I steered clear of them this time, as buying a tv from them is like playing the lottery. They use 3 different panels with differing levels of color and contrast quality; you are not essentially getting what you pay for:
You may get Samsungâs own S-PVA panel, the best quality (if youâre lucky).
An A-MVA panel from Taiwanâs AUO (a notch worse than S-PVA).
Chinese company Chi Meiâs S-MVA panel (worst of the three).
Panasonics IPS Alpha panels are decent, but on some panels dark colors appear far too blue from different angles.
That narrows it down to LGâs S-IPS panel; its color saturation, vividness, and response time are worth the slight sacrifice in contrast and black depth (at least in my opinion).
This tv is not perfect, however; I spotted 3 dead pixels right out of the box (2 bright, 1 dark), right around the middle of the screen. They are practically invisible without being a foot from the screen and looking hard for them, however.
Viewing angles demonstrate some darkening of the picture, but its not too bothersome (swivel stand helps).
No other flaws I can think of at the moment, I recommend this tv!

what tv has the best picture sound and other features?




Hunter G


i hear aquos and samsung are around the best HDTVs


Answer
Your on the right track those two manufactures are actually one of the top two rated lcd makers. Sharp actually came out with the first lcd tv and samsung is one of top selling tvs in the world. although sharps has excellent picture quality and most nature contrast than any other tv it speakers are not that great but if your doing surround sound its an excellent tv. Samsung has among the best black levels so it creates the riches colors and it speakers are decent. But i would recommend getting an lcd with 120hz for less motion blur. if your looking for plasma pioneer or panasonic would be great picks. I recommend you check out cnet.com they rate tvs down to the smallest detail and youll get some great insights and the top rated models. but stay away from toshiba it's not what it used to be and lg tend to break down fast.

after seeing the great graphics of the 360 & PS3, do you think these systems would last for 10 years?




14_ME


the PS4 and new XBOX being 2016 or beyond? i mean the next stop would be the final one since you cant go over photorealism
no, officialy the PS2 was only 6 years, because the PS3 came out in 2006. I dont care how long they make game for a system, some games for the dreamcast and neogeo are still being made after 18 years. i am talking about an official new system



Answer
Someone recently asked if it was really true that the ps4 and xbox720 would be released in 2010. Which is ridiculous. They might start work on a new xbox that soon, but it will take a long time to develop, and they won't likely call it xbox720, either, "720" only relates to snowboarders or skaters.

Both consoles were designed to satisfy the high-end HD market. Only a small percentage of people have HDTV's yet. After February 2009 that percentage will make a jump, but it will still be years before it even reaches the halfway point. Maybe 2013 or so.

Next, the xbox and ps3 are the limit of current home-pc processing technology. Processors reached their current, 2 to 3 ghz limit about 5 years ago, due to heat problems. A recent advance in chip technology will allow faster chips to be made, but it's not even close to being implemented yet. The xbox has 3 fast processors, and the ps3 has a staggering 7. That's about as many processors as you can put into a computer or console, and still have it be cost-effective and have developers making applications for it.

So the bottom line is basically, they CAN'T make the next generation yet. The technology it will have to involve is in its infancy, I doubt it will be implemented in time to save Moore's Law, maybe in big mainframes or servers it will be implemented in 2 or 3 years, but I think it will realistically hit PC's in about 2012 or 2013. Console developers need to see how it works in PC's before putting it in consoles, so giving them a couple years dev time would put the next generation around 2014 to 2016.

Now about that photorealism thing, I disagree, there's a lot more to do to make games more realistic and lifelike.

For one thing, most 3D games use classical rules of perspective, ignoring the way the world actually looks to your eyes. You don't see a rectangle in front of you, and you have much more peripheral vision too. If you turn quickly in a 3D shooter, straight lines often look curved. Devs have been making optical tricks to deal with this for a while, but there is much work to be done.

A couple years back, Sony showed off the first flexible LCD video screen. That's right, you could conceivably have a game system where the screen wraps around in a semicircle around you, or even a "virtual reality" room where the screen surrounds you. Games for such a system will be awesome and will take more than the next generation to handle

Why is there no PAL or NTSC games on the PS3?




Tryrhj


i mean the 360 and wii (i think the wiiU also) have pal and ntsc games but the PS3 doesnt, and when i asked about the differences between pal and ntsc they told me that it is all about graphic and nothing else (1 is american the other is european or something like that) and did the PS2 have pal and ntsc games?? (i dont quite remember DX)

and does the WiiU and will the 720 have pal and ntsc?

and thanks



Answer
Those answers are either wrong or incomplete......................

Simply because of individual companies policy.

Sony does not allow any regional restrictions on its consoles released after 2006. All publishers must release region free games, while modern consoles of Microsoft and Nintendo still do.

That means PS3, PSP, PS Vita games are all region free.
While for PS3 games they still provide either ( optional NTSC or PAL ) + at least one HD output.

That means if a user use the old type SDTV, he need to do TV matching to the game disc, or graphic problem may occur on certain discs.
If he uses HDTV with HDMI cabled, then no problem. The output uses 720i, 1080p ..etc

In short:
PAL / NTSC on PS3 games stands for output only
PAL / NTSC on WII and xbox , xbox 360 stands for compatibility only ( the connection between game disc and console )
And this compatibility are divided into 3 types ( NTSC-U/C, NTSC-J, PAL ) , NOT 2 types.


In conclusion.
For PS3 games, users need to do matching between game disc and TV if they have no HDTV.
For PS2, Wii, WII U, xbox and xbox 360 games, users need to do matching between game disc and console.
Note: xbox 360 games are a lot different, Microsoft let publishers to decide whether to have to region locked or not, and most of them made disc region free.
Hence, there are lot of xbox 360 games are region free indeed, and do not have this restrictions

People there always got confused with output =/= compatibility, and thought they are same thing.....

xbox 720 compatibility is not yet announced by this date 21 Feb 2013, but its expected to be region locked which is a bad sign. We do hope they still let publishers to decide it like those xbox 360 ones did.

HDTV cable quality?




:)


If I get an HD box for watching cable, will it really make the pictures crystal clear , just like the ones in stores? I have a new HDTV tv, but still using analog, as there is no HD service in my area.


Answer
There is some variation in quality from cable company to cable company, but, generally, the answer is yes. see if you can find one of your local stores that uses cable for feeding their TVs. Then, you can see what you're getting in advance.

How is SD quality on and HDTV?




seventhyea


Hi,

My wife and I are considering buying an HDTV. We watch a lot of SD programming currently, however, and we're wondering about the quality of these channels on the new TV. I would think that they would display fine but I've heard some HDTVs don't display SD as well as a normal SDTV. Is there any truth to this? I'd hate to buy a new TV only to find out it doesn't look as good as our old one in some cases.

Thanks!



Answer
On my 3 HDTVs, digital SD programs look fine. As clear as the best picture you used to see on an old analog TV.

But what doesn't look good on an HDTV is an analog channel on basic cable (no box). HDTVs are digital technology, and they work best with a digital input. An analog signal has to be compromised in order to be displayed on an HDTV, and the result is often not as good as the same signal on an old analog set.

But aside from that, *digital* SD programming looks fine on any HDTV that I've seen.

How can I connect my laptop to my flat screen?




alyssa


The tv is a Samsung 2013 model and the laptop is about three years old.

The tv has these outlets: red white yellow cable group, HDMI and USB.

The laptop has USB, and VGA input.

I'd like to use my laptop to stream movies on my tv. Can this be done? With a cable? With a wireless device? Please help, I need to know desperately and no one knows that I've talked to. I am positive that these are the only inputs on these devices.



Answer
You have a new TV that has HD, which is why it has the HDMI adapter, that allows new laptops with HDMI output to connect and watch videos on their laptops on the HDTV.

Being 3 years old, I don't think your laptop has and HDMI port, but you can check. If it has that's the better choice and get a HDMI cable to fit that. Search Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr_n_1?rh=n%3A202505011%2Ck%3Ahdmi+cable&keywords=hdmi+cable&ie=UTF8&qid=1375781096&rnid=2941120011

If you can't find the HDMI port, it probably doesn't have one.

Does anyone have any info on Comtek/Clear Cast Digital antenna?







Is it any good? What are the pros and cons?


Answer
There is no such thing as a "digital" antenna. That is pure marketing hype. There is nothing special nor unusual about this antenna. It will pick up your local broadcast TV channels within a 10-15 mile radius of your home. This company has been cited many times for exaggerating the antenna's capabilities.

bad picture quality hdtv?




Lower D


i just bought a westinghouse 32" HDTV. i have it connected through my direct tv receiver through coaxial and the picture is horrible. How can i make it better? i know it wont be in hd without a new package but it looks worse than my SDTV. the satellite reciever has coaxial, s-video, and RCA outputs. My tv doesnt have s-video, would a s-video to composite make it better? do i have to buy a hd receiver to get decent non hd quality?


Answer
You need the HD box and an HDMI cable to attach it to your tv. You are feeding an SD signal to your tv and HD tvs don't display SD as well as crt tvs.

I want the best quality for a 32'inch HDTV?




mr_kevo2


I want to purchase a 32 inch tv for my room (not any bigger because of my entertainment center). I am willing to pay the money for the best quality i can get but i do not want to be wasting money either. So what i am really asking is is it necessary to get a 1080p tv or will a 720p have the same quality becuz of the size of the tv.

Thanks

And can anyone recommend a good quality 32 inch tv. Thanks in advance



Answer

32 inch sony hdtv........?

Q. should i get a 32 inch sony hdtv or 32 inch vizio hdtv???


Answer
Sony manufactures TV for more than 40 years. Sony TV all don by OWN. 32 INC LCD use Display Panel made by Korea S-LCD,a LCD display panel manufactures joint venture between Samsung-Sony ( 50/50%).Sony products ( not only TV ).market Worldwide. all products with Quality .eg PS.car audio.Laptop..Sony LCD TV is in TOP from 2000- 2008. and now is second after Samsung (Total quantity sold worldwide ). Vizio, US Local Trademarks, market only USA. Vizio USA is only for Marketing and after sales support. All TV Handle by Taiwan Amtran Technology ( use to from Taiwan Zelway Micro ) . TV is designs in Taiwan, and made in China. Amtran did not manufactures any " Parts ". all Components out source . because of prices, normally use low quality LCD display panel , some of the model may use Samsung panel,but select only grade B type. Because factory is nothing to do with Vizio USA, Quality is beyond control. some shipment's of product is good, but some are not reliable.product Quality not stable.that why some Vizio owner are very happy with their Vizio TV. and some ( mose ) take it as ' junk " LCD TV. * Samsung 32 inc HD 720 P model ( you dont need 1080 P for 32 inc ). are same class / quality / reliable as Sony 32 inc HD model, there use same display panel. but Samsung prices always lower. if you think Sony prices is a bit high. go for Samsung. but try not " Vizio ".

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

How can I improve picture quality from laptop to hdtv?




Andy M


I can connect my laptop to my hdtv via hdmi cable and everything works great except the quality of the images on my tv is nowhere near the quality of my laptop. I've adjusted the settings on my tv to try to get better quality but to no avail. The images on the tv have too much contrast are overly color saturated. My laptop is the HP Pavillion with a 17 inch monitor and graphics cards set to 1440x900. I have a Hitachi 42 in. plasma tv. Anyone know how I should adjust my settings for higher image quality on my TV when showing images from my laptop? Thanks!


Answer
Your TV picture is limited to the output of the video card. The 1400x900 may look good on the laptop, but the pixels are going to be artificially enlarged on the tv. You will need a much larger pixel aspect ratio to have it look real good

Which 55" hdtv has the best picture quality and which has the best sound quality?

Q.


Answer
Best picture is a tricky question to answer. Everyones perception of a good picture is very different. I can vouch for Samsung and Panasonic.

Samsung UE55ES8000 is a fantastic set, just been superseeded by the UE55F8000 but you can now get a great deal on last years set. It is a 3D capable LED edgelit LCD screen with a great wealth of SMART features and has so many connectivity options. What's more is that it looks amazing when wallmounted, thanks to an ultra slim bezel around the outside. All pictures are extremely clear even regular SD and even internet content.

Panasonic TXP55GT50/VT50 would be the preferred choice for the movie and sport lover. Its a Plasma screen co-developed with the boffins at Pioneer and THX. Plasmas are naturally better at producing better contrast as well as more life-like colour and superior motion handling. Plasmas do cost a bit more to run than LCD based sets and ideally, they perform better in a dark room. The only notable difference performance wise between the GT and VT model is that the VT has an infinite black filter in front of the screen to further improve the blackiness of the.....blacks :)

Sound quality wise all TV's are going to be poor. The UE55F8000 has supposedly improved sound quality, as it has a small bass speaker. But as its so slim, i'm not holding my breath. You are definitly better off with a soundbar or external speakers.

Best Soundbars for the money:

OrbitSound T12V3 £299.99 RRP - Wired Subwoofer has an iPod dock intergrated on the top of the soundbar.

Panasonic SCHTB550 £399.99 RRP - Wireless subwoofer, the soundbar can either be as one long speaker or split into 2 to form a 2.1 speaker configuration.

Sonos Play:Bar £599.99 RRP - Not cheap but if you already have a Sonos system, this is a great addition. Plus you don't HAVE to have a subwoofer if you don't need it. The SUB is a £599 option at the moment in Gloss Black.

HDTV picture quality?




Gap Face


I got an HDTV a while ago and my friends and I cant tell the difference from my 32" HDTV from my friends 23" SDTV. My HDTV settings are at standard because I dont really no how to make the picture better by custom picture quality. Most people say that should be fine but some tell me I should change it. Also some people say that I should turn down the sharpness all the way down but what should I do for the contrast brightness and color? This HD DVD player is the only HD thing I got besides my cable box and that looks normal to. My HDTV is the samsung LN-S3251D which Cnet said was the best 32" LCD HDTV last year. So what should I do with the settings? My HDTVs native resolution is 720p and the movies I buy have good Picture quality from what highdef digest says. So what should I do?
yes I am watching HD DVDs and also HD channels from comcast



Answer
Forget the picture settings...To get an HD picture you must have the signal coming from your devices connected by HDMI OR COMPONENT inputs to the TV set first.

Then your devices must be set to 720P in the video output part of the device's menu.

Then the SOURCE of the actual signal must be an HD signal
Your cable box must be tuned to an HD station and the SHOW must have the HD box showing up on the Guide....

As for the HD DVD player, you must have an HD-DVD disc for HD, and it CAN'T be an old movie converted to HD usage.

All these hoops you must jump thru....sheesh !

But....I PREFER to test HD setup by going to Discovery Channel's HD Theater station...they are the best HD signal to test with...
Especially the commercials...like the one with the ANTs crawling around or the mountains in them.
There you will see the DETAIL of the small critters and plants.

And it's a quick and easy test for your TV and the Cable signal.

What kind of Antenna for HDTV?

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.

how to have the picture qualities like in the stores?




JJD


when you walk around best buy or fry's and they play the live football game on tv. the picture is clear HD and i was wondering how you can get a picture like that? i have a 1080p tv but my directtv picture is not even as clear as the one in store.
They played it from an antenna so the channel must have been in hd. how can i get a picture like that from an antenna? i have directtv but i dont get pictures like that. do i just need a HD antenna or do i need something else with it?



Answer
"..You are probably not paying for HD service from DirectTV"

Xaxom got it right.

You have to up-grade your box and service from DirectTV. You are feeding that TV standard-def which was designed in the 1940's to fill a nine-inch screen.

You might be lucky enough to put up an indoor antenna and get some free ABC, CBS, NBC.. channels in high def.

Do this:

- Type your address into www.antennaweb.org
- It will show you where the TV towers are around your home and recommend the type (indoor, outdoor) antenna you would need to get each station.

If you are close enough to some towers for an indoor antenna, do this:

- Order a "Phillips Silver Sensor - Classic" HDTV indoor antenna for about $23 and a long run of CATV coax.

- Position the antenna near a window or side of the house where it might have line-of-sight to the TV towers. Hook the coax between the antenna and the "Antenna In" jack on the TV.

- Go into your TV setup menu. There is a setting called "Scan for Channels" or some such. Start this process running. It will try to find all the channels from the antenna.

best HDTVs for gaming?




xninjagrrl


I recently tried out a 46" 120hz insignia lcd (6.5 ms) from best buy and it was complete crap, had to return it. I was told that i needed the 120hz for gaming however when I tried to play any FPS the 120hz feature just made it so "laggy" i could not even attempt to play but when i turned the 120hz off it seemed okay.
I now have a cheapo 40" rca lcd from walmart (I believe 8ms and 60hz) nothing to write home about. with both of these tvs (more so with the rca) it is making fps games really hard to play. i would not say it seems like input lag, when i click A to jump my person jumps immediately etc. The best way I can describe it is when I look Left or Right, Up or Down it feels/looks really "jerky", god forbid I am also Moving while Looking, so jerky its not even funny. Also, sometimes I swear my cursor moves on its own, like I have auto aim set to "ON" which I do not. I notice this "moving cursor" thing mainly when there is alot of stuff happening in front of me (ie" a bunch of enemies running around in front of my cursor) I feel like I would be better off just using my 15 year old 27" sharp tv even though any text on it is unreadable and blurry which makes RPG impossible to play.

So what exactly do I need to do? I thought about trying out a plasma but they seem sooo dark, the cd/m2 ratings on plasmas seem very low and every plasma at the stores seem alot darker than lcds. And its not about the money, I would be okay with splurging a little on something that was actually worth it, so far I have been trying to be cheap about it and get 700 and 500 dollar tvs, which suck apparently. My goal would be to get a 46 or 47" 1080p, but I could live with a 40 or 42" I guess. I just want something that is bright, good black levels but still able to discern detail, and good for games. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

LG 32LH30 32-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV
http://www.mixxedbagg.com/2010/01/22/lg-32lh30-32-inch-1080p-lcd-hdtv/

Review: LG doesânt get enough praise.
Just bought this TV for the sake of it being an IPS panel and for its apparent adjustability (and also 1080p). Plus this tv is so easy to calibrate; the âpicture wizardâ is extremely helpful.
The amount of menu options is jaw-dropping, as is the style of the set. The LH40 model looks neat with the plastic square along the bottom of the panel, but I like the more minimalist look of the LH30, and I do not like the 120hz or the $100 price jump of the LH40.
I made a comparison to my sony 32M4000 (which I have now given to my father) and there are some interesting differences (many are polar opposites):
-The sound is far superior on the LG.
-Black levels are very close, sonyâs is a bit deeper and maintains black colors better at angles.
-The whiteness of whites is slightly better on the sony, but colors and mid tones definitely have more of a âpunchyâ factor on the LG.
-Color is amazing; rich and saturated; best ive seen on any LCD, period.
-Color does not wash out at all from different angles, only very dark colors and black tend to become discolored (blue or red depending on the angle).
-Of course there are far, far fewer picture options on the sony.
-My sony has a ghosting problem with dark colors, not so on the LG; motion blur and lag is also reduced too.
-OTA HD channels look decent enough, not as sharp as the sony, but the better color makes up for it imo.
What was the main factor that made me get this LG?..its S-IPS panel.
Samsung is an excellent maker of lcds, but I steered clear of them this time, as buying a tv from them is like playing the lottery. They use 3 different panels with differing levels of color and contrast quality; you are not essentially getting what you pay for:
You may get Samsungâs own S-PVA panel, the best quality (if youâre lucky).
An A-MVA panel from Taiwanâs AUO (a notch worse than S-PVA).
Chinese company Chi Meiâs S-MVA panel (worst of the three).
Panasonics IPS Alpha panels are decent, but on some panels dark colors appear far too blue from different angles.
That narrows it down to LGâs S-IPS panel; its color saturation, vividness, and response time are worth the slight sacrifice in contrast and black depth (at least in my opinion).
This tv is not perfect, however; I spotted 3 dead pixels right out of the box (2 bright, 1 dark), right around the middle of the screen. They are practically invisible without being a foot from the screen and looking hard for them, however.
Viewing angles demonstrate some darkening of the picture, but its not too bothersome (swivel stand helps).
No other flaws I can think of at the moment, I recommend this tv!
My calibration settings use color adjustments from cnet.com along with some of my own tweaks, try them out!

what tv has the best picture sound and other features?




Hunter G


i hear aquos and samsung are around the best HDTVs


Answer
Your on the right track those two manufactures are actually one of the top two rated lcd makers. Sharp actually came out with the first lcd tv and samsung is one of top selling tvs in the world. although sharps has excellent picture quality and most nature contrast than any other tv it speakers are not that great but if your doing surround sound its an excellent tv. Samsung has among the best black levels so it creates the riches colors and it speakers are decent. But i would recommend getting an lcd with 120hz for less motion blur. if your looking for plasma pioneer or panasonic would be great picks. I recommend you check out cnet.com they rate tvs down to the smallest detail and youll get some great insights and the top rated models. but stay away from toshiba it's not what it used to be and lg tend to break down fast.
