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 much do hdtv prices drop over a years time?




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:

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.

How to stop my parents from spoiling me? Also am I a spoiled brat?




swag


I am 13 and I feel like I am being spoiled. My parents get me alot of things without me asking.

Here are the things my parents buy exclusively for me:
-New iPhone 5C
-My first phone was iPhone 3G when I was 8(I feel so spoiled here)

Here are the things that I share with my family or that my family shares with me-
-2013 retina display 13" MacBook Pro
-2006 iMac
-Original Nintendo Wii
-Apple TV
-Sony HDTV (with a screen 1 meter high, and l.5 to 2.0 meters wide) from 2008
-PS4
-Windows 7 laptop (for my moms work, and I use it for creating video games because of better support)

I also barely have an allowance. I am asking this since my uncle called me a spoiled brat. I think I am spoiled but I dont think I am a brat. I also am only allowed to play the ps4 on weekends. I didnt ask for any of these except for ps4 since I won my regional spelling bee last year. I also didnt want an iPhone 5C, I was fine with my 3G. I am thinking of trading the 5C in for the nexus 5. Also my friends are much more spoiled than me so if I consider with them they would say im not spoiled. If I am too spoiled how to talk to my parents. This is also not an attention seeker. Thanks.
I am not asking for anything. I just want to stop being spoiled.

I would like to buy a 42-47 inches 3D tv?




de elenda


I don't know much about led, LCD or plasma. I just want have great 3d experience and it should have good picture quality. Can anyone suggest which tv should I buy?

Or should I wait till 2013 to buy one..?
P.s. I don't care about Internet and other fancy stuff



Answer
3D technology has not been a big hit in the electronic industry. At this time there are only around 130 titles available in 3D blu ray disc movies and they are mainly animated movies from disney. Keep in mind that to watch in 3D you will need the following: 3D HDTV, 3D blu ray disc player ot a game console, 3D blu ray disc movie or 3D video game and 3D glasses. You also have to sit in front of the tv to get the 3D effect. Go online to Home Theater Magazine and read the reviews on 3D HDTV, along with the pro and con of each technology. Panasonic Plasma is the only Plasma tv they recommend. They also have more pllasma tv being recommended than any type of tv from other manufacturer. Hope this will help you out.

What type of Film did video cameras for Hollywood use in the 1970's to make Hollywood movies?




Anthony


I know that people who made home movies in the 70's used 35mm, 16mm, 8mm any others if you know???

I assume it would have been different and or better than the type of film used for home movie films of the same time???

Can you name the calibers and sizes of professional hollywood movie Video Camera film???

I can find out a lot about home movie making back then but not about what movie studios of hollywood used that is why i am asking.

Also about today's recording media it is probably since we are in the digital age. Are hollywood movie Cameras recording Digitally to a Hard Drive or something like that nowadays???

I figure any type of video tape for recording a hollywood movie has not been used in years because we are in the digital age. So any videos Cameras hollywood uses today is saving to a Hard Drive Digitally is what i figure anyway.

I always wondered to are Video Cameras going back to the 70's to Present Day 2013 what types of power sources did they use like Car Batteries,Power Cords plugged to wall outlets or some other type of battery???

I say Car Batteries and power cords plugged to wall outlets because i figure it would take something pretty heavy duty to run a Video Camera for a Movie and not some lithium ion rechargeable proprietary battery like home video cameras use today in the present day.


I ask these questions because i have always had an interest in Video and Still Cameras. Both of the Consumer Home Category and the Big Leauges where Movies of Hollywood for the Big Screen are made.

I Really do appreciate your helpful answers community.



Answer
Hollywood movies since the era of "talkies" have been shot on either 1 inch or 2 inch wide film strips. Known in the trade as "35mm" and "65mm". Silent movies and home movies from the 20s used 16mm or 1/2 inch wide film. then Kodak came out with its 8mm format for home movie use. 8mm is the same identical film as 16mm double perf but only exposed for half the width. the reel is flipped at the end and then the other side is exposed. 8mm is also 16 fps instead of 24 fps used for theatrical movies. thus it consumed a lot less film making it affordable for home use. after exposure, the double shot camera reel was developed, split down the center and spliced together to make a single 3.5 minute reel of 1/4 inch wide film with sprocket holes on one side only. The reels for 8mm film are the same as for 1/4 inch audio tape except they have a feature that prevents them from being mounted backwards on the projector.

when videotape came out with portable cameras for consumer use that pretty much ended the 8mm movie era. Kodak and other camera makers came out with Super8 which was a cartridge film system to try and compete. Compared to 8mm it offered improvements, like sound, higher frame rate (18 fps) slightly larger image size, battery power, and ease of handling, but the public preferred VHS that could be viewed on the TV set instead of requiring a projector and screen.

the majority of Hollywood movies are still shot on 65mm film. the film is often converted to 4k video for the purpose of editing and special effects creation and then regenerated back to film for theatrical use. it has only been very recently that CCD technology has improved to allow 4k video to be imaged directly by a digital camera, so that is the future of movie making as it matches the 4k video editing that has been done in Hollywood since the 1980s.. HDTV is 1k video for comparison.

there is a huge gap in quality between equipment made for the motion picture industry and home use. that is mostly because the big screen requires far more resolution than a TV set.

full hd led tv (1920x1080p)
Decent motion clarity index
sharp and good quality pictures ofcourse.....

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.

Do you think this TV will go on sale close to x-mas or after?




go-go


I know its already on sale but do you think it will go down in price even more?

http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/lg-electronics-lg-60-1080p-600hz-plasma-hdtv-60pk550-60pk550/10140862.aspx?path=564b0d578a1622e76c0513492b8ddc31en02



Answer
Yes. more " great " sales after new year 2011.
keep in mind. TV maker will " clear " out old stock - that only for old models.
you will get much lower prices for big screen 720P models and 1080P 60 HZ refresh rate models . because Mose of TV maker discontinue such range and go for 1080P with 120 HZ models.
also 26 inc 720P / 32 inc 720P / 37 inc 720P models. all the Japan TV maker switch to 26 / 32 / 37 inc for only 1080P . you will never get an Sony / Sharp / Panasonic / Toshiba 26/32/37 inc LCD TV in 720P any more after 2011. since this happened 2 year ago in Japan market.
Plasma with 720P also going to clear stock as LG / Samsung / Panasonic discontinue 720P PDP ( Plasma display panel ) .
if you " don't mind " old models also low specifications out of date TV. you get BIG deal after new year. first week of Jan-2011.
but if you only looking for up to date models / specifications , could be just a litter or no difference in prices !
beware of quality , those OFF BRAND / local brand / buyer brand clear as super low prices, subject to reliability.
**************
the above link LG 60 inc Plasma
do you know why sold as super low prices. ?
because is not really new Plasma technology as the Power consumption is super HIGH . 510W
compare to Panasonic new Plasma technology 58 inc 58PZ8000U only 196W.
any lower prices must be " good " reason behind.

Answer
Always focus on the number after the x. Ex. 1920x1080 res. If the number before the x is more than twice as the number after the x, then the movie will be in 4:3 (square shape like non-hdtv shape).
And if the audio is Stereo that means it is for two speakers like a HDTV (two speakers), if it says bitstream or 5.1 it is surround sound audio.
