<br /> </div><br /><br><div id='ya_answer' style='clear: both'><u><b>Answer</b></u><br> 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.

<br /> <i>Hi,<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Thanks!</i>
<br /> </div><br /><br><div id='ya_answer' style='clear: both'><u><b>Answer</b></u><br> On my 3 HDTVs, digital SD programs look fine. As clear as the best picture you used to see on an old analog TV.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />But aside from that, *digital* SD programming looks fine on any HDTV that I've seen. </div><div style='padding-bottom:15px' id='separator'><br></div><br/><br/><br/>Powered by Yahoo!

<br /> <i>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?<br /><br />This is the tv I plan on buying:<br />http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Samsung+-+60%26%2334%3B+Class+-+LED+-+1080p+-+120Hz+-+HDTV/6847446.p?id=1218809261672&skuId=6847446</i>
<br /> </div><br /><br><div id='ya_answer' style='clear: both'><u><b>Answer</b></u><br> It's a tough thing to figure. <br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />A couple of tips for you:<br />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.<br /><br />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. </div><div style='padding-bottom:15px' id='separator'><br></div><div id='ya_title'><H2>How to stop my parents from spoiling me?

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.

<br /> </div><br /><br><div id='ya_answer' style='clear: both'><u><b>Answer</b></u><br> 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.

<br /> <i>I know that people who made home movies in the 70's used 35mm, 16mm, 8mm any others if you know???<br /><br />I assume it would have been different and or better than the type of film used for home movie films of the same time??? <br /><br />Can you name the calibers and sizes of professional hollywood movie Video Camera film???<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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???<br /><br /> 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.<br /><br />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???<br /><br />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.<br /><br /><br />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.<br /><br />I Really do appreciate your helpful answers community.</i>
<br /> </div><br /><br><div id='ya_answer' style='clear: both'><u><b>Answer</b></u><br> 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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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. <br /><br />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. </div><div style='padding-bottom:15px' id='separator'><br></div><br/><br/><br/>Powered by Yahoo!

Now looking at the factors you have listed, the 32LS5700 would be a good choice.<br /><br />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.

<br /> <i>I know this question has been asked a million times but my situation is slightly different, I think. <br />Well, I have an HDTV from 2013 and an old HD compatible TV monitor thing from 2004 or so. Basically, I get about 100 channels from the Basic Cable package that I have from Time Warner Cable on my HDTV and on the older TV, I get about 20 of those clear channels and the rest are either gone or all blurry. I think its something wrong with the older TV's tuner, or the lack thereof. <br />Anyway, I bought a digital TV converter box that has a QAM tuner and some other stuff, it also has an HDMI output which I like. I am wondering, can I use this converter box somehow with my basic cable? The basic cable is just my coax cable connected to the wall and to my TV. Can I somehow use the converter box in between these two to get me the missing channels? Or what do I need to purchase to do that? Thank you.</i>
<br /> </div><br /><br><div id='ya_answer' style='clear: both'><u><b>Answer</b></u><br> No, digital converter boxes are only for antenna signals. Cable box signals are different, which is why TV's have the option to switch between Cable/Antenna input via the coax.<br />One option you CAN do however...<br /><br />Use the video output of the cable box and put it into the AV1 input, and then just put the digital converter box on the coax part so you can get channels from there. You still have to switch between the 2 sets of inputs though.<br /><br />If your Time Warner is giving you blurry channels call your cable company, it may be a problem on their end. </div><div style='padding-bottom:15px' id='separator'><br></div><div id='ya_title'><H2>Which Desktop should I get?</H2> </div><div id='ya_question'>

<br /> </div><br /><br><div id='ya_answer' style='clear: both'><u><b>Answer</b></u><br> The $679.99 desktop seems to be a better buy since it has a memory card reader. The addition of a memory card reader allows you to read memory cards such as those from digital cameras and a few other devices to be used. <br /> <br /> The Ethernet ports are the same since the desktops are the same model which, I presume, uses the same motherboard. The different types of Ethernet LAN are the theoretical speeds that the Ethernet is able to handle, most if not all new computers in 2013 come with 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet LAN. The more speeds do not matter since everything is restricted by internet speeds by your internet provider (Verizon, Comcast,etc...)or by networking equipment in your home. If you connect to your internet with a cable to your router or modem, the Dell Ethernet LAN is used. If you use WiFi, then the Dell wireless LAN is used. <br /> <br /> There is no difference between GDDR5 and DDR5 since they are labelled under the amd radeon 7570 card which is a dedicated card with its own memory. DDR5 is GDDR5 when it is under a graphics card. A dedicated card is for better performance and graphics for gaming or videos.<br /> <br /> Hard Drives in pre-built computers are hard to find out, but again there should not be a difference since they only have one hard drive but the xps 8500 has its hard drive connected to a SATA III port. <br /> <br /> The sound systems does not make any difference as many integrated sound systems are sufficient enough. You may have to buy separate speakers for either of the computers which adds to your computer costs since new computers may not come with speakers. <br /> <br /> The $679.99 model is better since it costs less and has the same specs and a memory card reader. Keep in mind there are other things that may increase the price of your desktop such as taxes and additional items that are not included such as speakers and monitors. If you are buying from a store, haggle with the manager for a better price, be sure to be kind to them.

<br /> <i>Well we are in the new era so why not digital projectors? I know there are digital ones but not very much ones out yet</i>
<br /> </div><br /><br><div id='ya_answer' style='clear: both'><u><b>Answer</b></u><br> It's merely taking time for the multiplexes to acquire and install digital projectors. The digital projectors in theaters aren't the little briefcase-sized ones used for company presentations or home theaters; they're large machines the size of refrigerators, many of them capable of projecting four times the number of pixels of HDTVs, and they cost tens of thousands of dollars each. They also require an upgrade to the screen; so the total cost of upgrading a single theater is about $70,000.<br /><br />So to go from a standard that was used by EVERY theater for practically a century and completely convert over to a new one is a process that has been (and is going to) take a lot of time. Of the roughly 36,000 cinema screens in the U.S., about 16,000 have converted to digital as of 2010, with a plan to have 20,000 converted by 2013 as part of a billion-dollar project initiated in 2009. </div><div style='padding-bottom:15px' id='separator'><br></div><div id='ya_title'><H2>What type of Film did video cameras for Hollywood use in the 1970's to make Hollywood movies?</H2> </div><div id='ya_question'>

<br /> <i>I know that people who made home movies in the 70's used 35mm, 16mm, 8mm any others if you know???<br /><br />I assume it would have been different and or better than the type of film used for home movie films of the same time??? <br /><br />Can you name the calibers and sizes of professional hollywood movie Video Camera film???<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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???<br /><br /> 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.<br /><br />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???<br /><br />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.<br /><br /><br />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.<br /><br />I Really do appreciate your helpful answers community.</i>
<br /> </div><br /><br><div id='ya_answer' style='clear: both'><u><b>Answer</b></u><br> 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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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. <br /><br />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. </div><div style='padding-bottom:15px' id='separator'><br></div><br/><br/><br/>Powered by Yahoo!

<br /> <i>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?</i>
<br /> </div><br /><br><div id='ya_answer' style='clear: both'><u><b>Answer</b></u><br> 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.

<br /> </div><br /><br><div id='ya_answer' style='clear: both'><u><b>Answer</b></u><br> Hi christina, LG WRman Sherlock here,<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.

<br /> <i>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: <br /><br />1)Is the Lag caused by the Response Time or the Refresh Rate or what exactly?<br /><br />2)Why is it on the IPAD Mini I didn't notice the lag?<br /><br />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?<br /><br />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?<br /><br />5)How about a 40 to 50 inch TV which model should I look at?<br /><br />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. <br /><br />Please answer each of my above 6 questions in details. Thanks.<br />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.</i>
<br /> </div><br /><br><div id='ya_answer' style='clear: both'><u><b>Answer</b></u><br> 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 </div><div style='padding-bottom:15px' id='separator'><br></div><br/><br/><br/>Powered by Yahoo!

<br /> <i>We just recently bought this 32" Samsung HDTV. The picture quality is really great except for the part where I'm currently tuned in to my local tv-stations and the also from the channels of our cable provider. The picture is somehow pixelized, where you can already see the pixels on the screen. Like when you are looking at a digital picture in your computer, you zoom in and you can see the pixels of that pictures. I heard from a friend that they were talking about RG6 cables to make it better, I really dont understand what they meant, but how do you get one and install it? help please. thanks!</i>
<br /> </div><br /><br><div id='ya_answer' style='clear: both'><u><b>Answer</b></u><br> Bottom line is you cannot make analog signals look much better compared to HDTV signals. All you can do is hope that you have a HDTV set top box from the cable company and the right connection. If they duplicate the local channels in the HDTV tier of service be sure to tune them in there instead of the basic tier. In other words if channels 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 ... are available as HDTV channels 1020 and up tune them in there. HDTV channel numbers vary according to Cable company assignments because these are virtual channels in the digital HDTV stream.<br /><br />If you already have a HDMI cable or Component Video (Red, Green, Blue) plus Audio cable (white, red) connection you already have a better connection than the Composite Video (Yellow) and Audio Connection (white, red) or the worst type of connection Coax (RG-59 or RG-6 from box to TV). </div><div style='padding-bottom:15px' id='separator'><br></div><div id='ya_title'><H2>is SONY makes a better quality for HDTV than samsung??</H2> </div><div id='ya_question'>

<br /> </div><br /><br><div id='ya_answer' style='clear: both'><u><b>Answer</b></u><br> It depends on what type of television your 72 inch television is but the main reason is probably because there is more pixels per square inch on your 32 inch and that is going to look sharper. Your 72 in televions pixels are going to be more than 4 times the size not only making the image less sharp it also makes it easier for you to see the imperfections in games. If your 72 inch television is dlp or lcd rear projection(not like a movie projector which is front projection) it will use mirrors to reflect to the screen and when ever something is reflected and magnified it loses quality. </div><div style='padding-bottom:15px' id='separator'><br></div><div id='ya_title'><H2>What is the best 32 Inch LCD HDTV?</H2> </div><div id='ya_question'>

<br /> </div><br /><br><div id='ya_answer' style='clear: both'><u><b>Answer</b></u><br> Panasonic VIERA C12 Series TC-L32C12 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV is one of the best TVs under $500 you can find on the market. I did a LOT of research looking for what I wanted in a TV. I've been wanting a nice flatscreen for a while now. I've been holding out as and quality has been improving while prices have been dropping. I finally settled on this Panasonic. <br /><br />I wanted a TV for primarily movies (Hi Def and standard or upconverted Def) and video games (Hi Def and standard def). I do not have a cable subscription and am not interested in HD cable services. That being said, I also wanted a TV that would double as a humongous PC monitor. I'm pleased to say this TV meets and exceeds my needs so far. It's a big upgrade from the 20 inch tube TV I was using before the VIERA. <br /><br />The LCD TV is nice looking and has a variety of cable inputs. Both the remote and menu systems are top-notch and useful. This TV puts out true 720p resolution and has 4:3 ratio (standard, full-frame) and zoom scaling as well. For TVs 32 inches and under, 1080p (while nice) is not necessary, as you'd be hard pressed to notice a dramatic difference with your HDMI or component sources. The picture is super sharp, and the image control available with this TV is pretty impressive. You can really play with the picture and color. I was laughing at the ability to essentially reproduce that 60's Technicolor supersaturation if you want. It really brings films to life. You can make up to 4 preset color choices, too- One for films, one for sports or live action TV, one for video games, one for kid's cartoons, etc, etc. <br />I would highly recommend this TV. </div><div style='padding-bottom:15px' id='separator'><br></div><br/><br/><br/>Powered by Yahoo!

<br /> </div><br /><br><div id='ya_answer' style='clear: both'><u><b>Answer</b></u><br> - I recommend Panasonic Plasma OR I recommend Samsung LED (better and/or expensive LED may not have the problems stated below because of additional technologies going into them). - http://reviews.cnet.com/best-tvs-picture-quality/<br />- Input lag for gamers: HD-TV may have more input lag if there is more processing going and how well the TV can process it. Example 1: Most PS3 or Xbox 360 video games are 720p, it would take processing power to upscale it to 1080p for a 1080p HD-TV (unless PS4 or Xbox one video games are 1080p it would be a good idea to get a 1080p HD-TV). Example 2: Interpolation and refresh rates can cause more processing too.ect = Gamer mode can turn off these processes to get less input lag.<br />- HD-TV viewing distance calculations: http://isthisretina.com/ OR http://www.thx.com/consumer/home-entertainment/home-theater/hdtv-set-up/ OR http://www.sony-asia.com/support/faq/47537 OR http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimum_HDTV_viewing_distance<br />- I am not going to talk about HD-TV features like 3D or smart HD-TV. Im not going to talk about projectors. Im not going to talk about the new OLED (RGB or W) HD-TV's.<br /><br />- A plasma HD-TV is sometimes called an emissive display, the panel is actually self-lighting for each pixel. The display consists of two transparent glass panels with a thin layer of pixels sandwiched in between. Each pixel is composed of three gas-filled cells or sub-pixels (one each for red, green and blue). A grid of tiny electrodes applies an electric current to the individual cells, causing the gas (a mix of neon and xenon) in the cells to ionize. This ionized gas (plasma) emits high-frequency UV rays, which stimulate the cells' phosphors, causing them to glow the desired color.<br />= Better contrast = Plasma's have better black levels, but worse white levels. Plasma's are a emissive display which means better brightness accuracy and better color accuracy.<br />= Better viewing angles = Plasma is a emissive display, it has little/no picture problems when viewed of axis (not directly in front of screen).<br />= Better for dark-lit rooms, but worse for bright-lit rooms = Plasma's can have screen glare and less contrast and less brightness and faded colors in bright-lit rooms, but they have little/none of these problems in dark-lit rooms. Better and/or expensive Plasma's may use less reflective glass.<br />= Better response times = Plasma's florescent phosphor coating in each subpixel stops glowing just a few nanoseconds after the electrode turns off (on and off) which means less lag and less ghosting.ect<br />= Better refresh rates = Plasma's better response times bundled with it's sub-feild drives or focused-feild drives take each of a it's pixel's sub-pixels and flashes it a number of times to create a image, the way Plasma works has little motion blur with sub-feild drives or little/no motion blur (and better brightness control, color quality, contrast.ect) with focused-feild drives. (Plasma can use interpolation for judder too).<br />= Worse screen size options, and worse weight (thicker), and worse manufacturer choices = Plasma is a emissive display which makes it hard to make a Plasma screen size smaller than 40 inches for HD-TV and you may not find them larger than 70 inches for HD-TV because the power consumption will sky rocket. Plasma's tend to about 10-20 pounds heavier too and are thicker but that can provide better audio quality tho. Main brand Plasma maker is Panasonic or Samsung or LG.<br />= Worse power consumption, and worse life span, but better burn in, but worse high altitudes = A plasma can cost on average around $50 a year more. A Plasma can easily last 10 years and much more. Newer Plasma's have burn in technologies that make really hard or not possible to have permanent burn in, but there sill a chance you could get temporary burn in (even tho it's harder to do now). Plasma may not work in really high altitudes and if it does the TV would create a buzzing sound.<br />= Price = Plasma is more expensive to buy than LCD, but Plasma is less expensive to buy than LED. Plasma does not cost that much to make.<br /><br />- An LCD HD-TV is sometimes referred to as a transmissive display, the panel has sections of lighting for a section of pixels. Light isn't created by the liquid crystals themselves; instead, a light source behind the LCD panel shines through the display (CCFL LCD or LED LCD). A diffusion panel behind the LCD redirects and scatters the light evenly to ensure a uniform image. The display consists of two polarizing transparent panels and a liquid crystal solution sandwiched in between. The screen's front layer of glass is etched on the inside surface in a grid pattern to form a template for the layer of liquid crystals. Liquid crystals are rod-shaped molecules that twist when an electric current is applied to them. Each crystal acts like a shutter, either allowing light to pass through or blocking the light. The pattern of transparent and dark crystals forms the image.<br />= Worse contrast = LCD's have worse black levels, but better white levels. LCD's are a transmissive display which means it is edge-lit or full-array-lit and it also uses local dimming (aka backlight-flashing/scanning) which turns off sections of CCFL or LED which means you can get brightness uniformity problems (brightness leaks into areas and you can see the brightness changing to make up LCD's bad contrast and slow brightness changes.ect) which means less brightness accuracy and less color accuracy .ect (Better and/or expensive LCD use LED lights and more emissive local dimming display and more advance technologies to get a picture as good or better than a Plasma).<br />= Worse viewing angles = LCD uses a CCFL backlight or a LED backlight (transmissive display), and the LCD pixels act like shutters (and the red, green, blue filters), opening and closing to let light through or block it, this shutter effect causes increasing variations in picture brightness as viewers move further off axis (not directly in front of screen) which means you may notice that the picture looks less bright and vivid and you might see slight changes in color too (IPS > TN).<br />= Worse for dark-lit rooms, but better for bright-lit rooms = LED or LCD have the most light coming off from their screen which may strain your eyes in a dark-lit rooms, but they have little/no screen glare and little/no picture problems in bright-lit rooms.<br />= Worse response times = LCD'S liquid crystals take longer to change from on or off (switch around) which means more lag and more ghosting.ect<br />= Worse refresh rates = LCD's have more worse response times bundled with it's refresh rates which use backlight-flashing/scanning or fake interpolation frames (for judder too) or just repeat the same real frames which help reduce motion blur, but does not eliminate motion blur.<br />= Better screen size options, and better weight (thinner), and better manufacturer choices = LCD is a transmissive display which makes it easier to make a LCD screen size very small like around 20 inches and you may find them larger than 70 inches because they use less power consumption. LCD's tend to be about 10-20 pounds lighter too and are thinner (edge-lit displays are even thinner) but that can provide worse audio quality tho. Many brands of manufacturer to choice from.<br />= Better power consumption, and better life span, and little/no burn in, and little/no altitude problems = A LCD or a LED can cost on average around $50 a year less. A LCD or a LED can easily last 10 years and much more.<br />= Price = LED is more expensive to buy than Plasma, and LED is even more expensive to buy than LCD. LED and all the advance technologies going into them make cost more to make, but that's why there is budget LCD versions instead. </div><div style='padding-bottom:15px' id='separator'><br></div><div id='ya_title'><H2>best HDTVs for gaming?</H2> </div><div id='ya_question'>

<br /> <i>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.<br />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.<br /><br />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!</i>
<br /> </div><br /><br><div id='ya_answer' style='clear: both'><u><b>Answer</b></u><br> LG 32LH30 32-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV<br />http://www.mixxedbagg.com/2010/01/22/lg-32lh30-32-inch-1080p-lcd-hdtv/<br /><br />Review: LG doesânt get enough praise.<br />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.<br />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.<br />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):<br />-The sound is far superior on the LG.<br />-Black levels are very close, sonyâs is a bit deeper and maintains black colors better at angles.<br />-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.<br />-Color is amazing; rich and saturated; best ive seen on any LCD, period.<br />-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).<br />-Of course there are far, far fewer picture options on the sony.<br />-My sony has a ghosting problem with dark colors, not so on the LG; motion blur and lag is also reduced too.<br />-OTA HD channels look decent enough, not as sharp as the sony, but the better color makes up for it imo.<br />What was the main factor that made me get this LG?..its S-IPS panel.<br />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:<br />You may get Samsungâs own S-PVA panel, the best quality (if youâre lucky).<br />An A-MVA panel from Taiwanâs AUO (a notch worse than S-PVA).<br />Chinese company Chi Meiâs S-MVA panel (worst of the three).<br />Panasonics IPS Alpha panels are decent, but on some panels dark colors appear far too blue from different angles.<br />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).<br />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.<br />Viewing angles demonstrate some darkening of the picture, but its not too bothersome (swivel stand helps).<br />No other flaws I can think of at the moment, I recommend this tv!<br />My calibration settings use color adjustments from cnet.com along with some of my own tweaks, try them out!<br />Picture menu:<br />Aspect ratio: Just Size<br />Energy Saving: Off<br />Picture Mode: Expert 2<br />Backlight: 60<br />Contrast: 88<br />Brightness: 58<br />H Sharpness: 60<br />V Sharpness: 60<br />Color: 50<br />Tint: 0<br />âExpert control menu<br />Dynamic contrast: Off<br />Noise reduction: Off<br />Gamma: Medium<br />Black level: Low<br />Real Cinema: On [grayed out]<br />Color Standard: HD [grayed out]<br />Color Gamut: Wide<br />Edge Enhancer: Off<br />xvYCC: Auto [grayed out]<br />OPC: Off<br />Expert Pattern: Off[grayed out]<br />Color Filter: Off<br />White balance: Medium<br />Method: 10 point IRE<br />Pattern: Outer<br />IRE: [see below]<br />Luminance: 137 (100 Luminance only, 90 through 10 are preset)<br />â 10 point IRE calibration<br />IRE: [Red, Green, Blue results, respectively, for each IRE point]<br />100 [-8, 1, -40]<br />90 [-13, -5, -40]<br />80 [-20, -12, -40]<br />70 [-17, -14, -33]<br />60 [-17, -12, -31]<br />50 [-17, -13, -26]<br />40 [-13, -12, -19]<br />30 [-6, -4, -8]<br />20 [-6, -4, -10]<br />10 [2, 3, -1]<br />Color management system<br />Red color: 2<br />Red tint: 0<br />Green color: -1<br />Green tint: -7<br />Blue color: 2<br />Blue tint: 7<br />Yellow color: 0<br />Yellow tint: 1<br />Cyan color: 0<br />Cyan tint: 0<br />Magenta color: 0<br />Magenta tint: â2 </div><div style='padding-bottom:15px' id='separator'><br></div><br/><br/><br/>Powered by Yahoo!

<br /> <i>I just recently bought an Samsung DLP 46" HDTV that has 1080i maximum resolution. The HD channels on the TV look amazing and I have no problems with them. The only problem I have is on regular channels that are 480i. They bad and fuzzy and quality isnt that great. I dont know if its a cable problem because on a standard TV I have thats plugs in from the same source looks great. Is it because of the size of the screen or does my cable need more signal power? I have Time Warner Cable and have a Cable Box with it too.<br />Oh yes by the way I do use HDMI on my receiver though I still get bad regular channels.</i>
<br /> </div><br /><br><div id='ya_answer' style='clear: both'><u><b>Answer</b></u><br> This is normal. I have it, too. Everyone has it. That is just what we HDTV owners are going to have to put up with for a few more years until all channels are HD compliant. The federal government is on the HDTV side and has already mandated that all channels will be HD in the near future.<br /><br />We'll just have to watch crappy regular channels for the time being. Make sure you're using HDMI cables for true, uncompressed high-def video!<br /><br />The reason why you're channels look bad? Your HDTV needs high-octance fuel to run. Regular cable is just like regular unleaded. It doesn't have the resolution (720/1080) to give your HDTV the high-def signal it requires. Therefore, it makes due with the standard cable television signal and produces an unimpressive picture. Buy an upconverting DVD player ($45-150) with an HDMI cable (for 1080 16:9 screen size) and you'll feel better when you're not watching your HD channels. </div><div style='padding-bottom:15px' id='separator'><br></div><div id='ya_title'><H2>Best LCD 1080p TV 46' or more, under $1300?</H2> </div><div id='ya_question'>

<br /> <i>Got a new HDTV, but its always at 4:3.. After a bit of research I realized that I need different cables and whatnot.<br /><br />I found for my wii, I just need a $20 set of cables to get 480p..<br /><br />But what about directv? Any way to upconvert somehow without getting a new box? The box claims it supports 16:9 widescreen, but when I change the settings between 4:3 and 16:9 it stays exactly the same.. The box does have a usb and s-video port in the back.. <br />I assume its the basic RCA cables that are whats holding it back, as the box has the setting for widescreen... Or may it be something else? I am clueless when it comes to hdtv :) this is my first.<br /><br />Thanks</i>
<br /> </div><br /><br><div id='ya_answer' style='clear: both'><u><b>Answer</b></u><br> Be sure to change the output setting on your Wii if you get the component cables, by the way. It's in the menu. The reason you can get a higher-quality signal is that the Wii will send that different signal down the line if you tell it to. You're not going to be able to do that with your satellite box if it either can't handle HD programming or doesn't have HD programming even available to it.<br /><br />Upconverting doesn't actually make the picture any prettier. . . you still only have enough data available to display a signal in 480i. You'd largely just be splitting squares into a bunch of smaller identical squares when you're upconverting -- and your TV is likely doing this already just to be able to display anything.<br /><br />I'm stuck with cable where I live right now, and I had to swap out my old digital box for an HD digital box to get the video part of the "free" HD local channels coming down the line. The sound was fine, and the screen was just black because the box I had didn't know what to do with the HD signal. All tuner boxes aren't "born" knowing this.<br /><br />I'd imagine the same would be true for your satellite box -- it's probably too old to know what to do with an HD signal if it had one if you've had it more than a year or two, although you could always call them or ask at a local store if you find the specific model number on your equipment first. If it's actually HD-capable, the odds are that you just don't have any HD channels to feed into it. . . if you've not changed your package in a year or two, you again probably don't have that. </div><div style='padding-bottom:15px' id='separator'><br></div><div id='ya_title'><H2>Analog cable on HDTV?</H2> </div><div id='ya_question'>

<br /> <i>-Would analog cable appear horrible on a HDTV? <br />-If yes, would I have to change HDTV to SD mode every time I watch analog cable? <br />-Does every HDTV have a SD mode?</i>
<br /> </div><br /><br><div id='ya_answer' style='clear: both'><u><b>Answer</b></u><br> Every HDTV will receive analog signals, and if you plug in your analog cable into the antenna input of your TV that what you will get (you still must scan for channels in the setup process). The picture quality depends on how good your cable system is. If the provide a nice clean signal they won't look too bad, but any defects will show more on the high def screen.<br /><br />If you get digital cable, you connect the cable box using an HDMI cable and you will get whatever is provided by the cable signal (SD, HD).<br /><br />On any digital set, anything the signal carries is what you will see, HD or SD--you don't have to switch anything. </div><div style='padding-bottom:15px' id='separator'><br></div><br/><br/><br/>Powered by Yahoo!

<br /> <i>Looking at upgrading to Digital Cable and I'm interested getting some information on these Digital cable boxes. I presently have just a plain Expanded Basic Cable plan from Charter.<br /><br />I have 2 HDTV's (Samsung and Toshiba) that have access to both Standard cable and Digital cable. I'm even able to access three or four local channels on my DTV mode that are in High Definition, even though I don't have Digital Cable (which I hear is not unusual).<br /><br />I also have 3 TV's that do not have a Digital tuner, just plain LCD/Plasma tv's. A Dynex LCD tv, an EDTV Plasma iLo (it might have Digital), and just a standard mountable under cabinet LCD tv in the Kitchen.<br /><br />If I upgrade to Digital Cable, do my HDTV's need the Digital Cable Box from Charter in order to access all the channels or will these TV's be able to pick up all the channels without it?<br /><br />Will my Standard TV's need a Cable box in order to browse the channels or will they still be able to access the first 50-60 channels (which include basic channels like TNT, USA, etc)??<br /><br />It's not important for the Standard TV's to get the true High quality Digital cable, but I'm curious if I would get like a black screen/error if I don't get those TV's a Digital Cable box.</i>
<br /> </div><br /><br><div id='ya_answer' style='clear: both'><u><b>Answer</b></u><br> For now, your standard TVs should be able to receive the first bunch of channels. After 2012, you can't trust that this will remain true in that cable companies may start dropping analog channels.<br /><br />Not getting HD channels on standard cables without renting a box is not unusual. You can use an antenna to get local channels. </div><div style='padding-bottom:15px' id='separator'><br></div><div id='ya_title'><H2>As of today, 2-16-2012, what is the proverbial Ferarri of HDTVs?</H2> </div><div id='ya_question'>

<br /> </div><br /><br><div id='ya_answer' style='clear: both'><u><b>Answer</b></u><br> Those answers are either wrong or incomplete......................<br /><br />Simply because of individual companies policy.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />That means PS3, PSP, PS Vita games are all region free.<br />While for PS3 games they still provide either ( optional NTSC or PAL ) + at least one HD output.<br /><br />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.<br />If he uses HDTV with HDMI cabled, then no problem. The output uses 720i, 1080p ..etc <br /><br />In short:<br />PAL / NTSC on PS3 games stands for output only<br />PAL / NTSC on WII and xbox , xbox 360 stands for compatibility only ( the connection between game disc and console ) <br />And this compatibility are divided into 3 types ( NTSC-U/C, NTSC-J, PAL ) , NOT 2 types.<br /><br /><br />In conclusion.<br />For PS3 games, users need to do matching between game disc and TV if they have no HDTV.<br />For PS2, Wii, WII U, xbox and xbox 360 games, users need to do matching between game disc and console.<br />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.<br />Hence, there are lot of xbox 360 games are region free indeed, and do not have this restrictions<br /><br />People there always got confused with output =/= compatibility, and thought they are same thing.....<br /><br />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. </div><div style='padding-bottom:15px' id='separator'><br></div><br/><br/><br/>Powered by Yahoo!

<br /> <i>Comparing the two tv's in this scenario.<br /><br />TV#1 2002 Model Flat Tube 60Hz 27" Screen<br />TV#2 2011 3D Ready 1080p 120Hz 63" Screen<br /><br />Just for giggles I plugged in the RCA cables (Red, White, Yellow) to my new tv to play the PS3. Resolution is set to a maximum of 480p for these cables. Picture quality is terrible! Rainbow effect & nothing looks good. But, when hooked up to the old school tv same method, looks great!<br /><br />Now normally I do run the latest 1.4 HDMI cables & use the 3D glasses & all that good stuff, but this was just for my own amusement, now that i've seen the difference, I want to know.....why......<br /><br />So the question???? Why, does an advanced piece of technology not look nearly as good under these circumstances as the old school tv which looks great?</i>
<br /> </div><br /><br><div id='ya_answer' style='clear: both'><u><b>Answer</b></u><br> The old school TV is designed for the 480 that the composite cable gives it. Your new TV has to artificially increase the resolution of the TV from 480 lines to 1080 lines. Some TV's do a better job doing this than others. </div><div style='padding-bottom:15px' id='separator'><br></div><div id='ya_title'><H2>What to get, Plasma or LCD?</H2> </div><div id='ya_question'>

<br /> <i>Not sure what to purchase, new 3D Plasma HDTV or a 3D LED LCD HDTV?</i>
<br /> </div><br /><br><div id='ya_answer' style='clear: both'><u><b>Answer</b></u><br> Whether to get a plasma or led based lcd depends on your picture quality demands, budget, power requirements and design requirements. <br /><br />Picture Quality: Plasma generates a picture by lighting a phosphor, where lcd's filter white light with a membrane. This gives plasma the edge in picture quality because the pixels generate the colors themselves. Also 3d is best on a plasma, since 3d cuts refresh rate by 50%.<br /><br />LCD's often suffer from flash-lighting or clouding and make blacks look washed out. This is most noticeable on edge lit lcd's where the lights are in the corner of the screen. If you prefer LED for it's brightness and crispness you should definitely try to go for a local dimming LED tv. These tv's put the leds at the back of the screen and are able to shut off or dim in parts of the screen that are darker. These are a bit more expensive because they have 1300 leds opposed to 400 on edge lit tv's, but LG offers nice tv's that are based on local dimming that are affordable.<br /><br />Viewing angle is best on plasma, edge lit led has horrible viewing angles, local dimming led's are better ( definitely with IPS panels ) but plasma wins here.<br /><br />With regards to motion handling, plasma is still the best. LCD's got better and offer different Hz's to make the picture look smoother. (usually 120 or 240hz, higher uses a scanning backlight) Plasma uses a 600hz subfield drive system.<br /><br />Plasmacells generate better colors in my opinion, but since they aren't able to completely shut off they will still leave a bit of a glow. Blacks are generally better than on lcd tv's, but there are local dimming sets that are actually beating plasma's now in terms of black level(~0.02ftl opposed to ~0.04ftl on newest plasma's). Plasma's are always better in shadow detail though because they offer per pixel control, where as a local dimming led has to cut the screen in small zones creating some spillover of light.<br /><br />Budget: Plasma's offer more bang for the buck than led tv's, definately with regards to local dimming. A good 50" plasma tv is 1000-1500 dollars. A local dimming set is 1500-2000$. Edge lit lcd's generally suck. (Except samsung's top line with micro dimming plus) In the lower price segment you have more options with LED sets than in plasma, and cheap plasma's are often only 720p sets (1024x768 or 1366x768 resolution).<br /><br />Power: Led tv's consume less power. Edge lit tv's use the least power.(around 100W) Then local dimming.(100-150W) Then plasma(250W average, a plasma uses less power on a dark screen). A plasma will cost you 30$ a year more on power on average.<br /><br />Design: LED tv's generally look thinner and have better design. Plasma's got better though, and Samsung has introduced plasma's with an inch thinner bezel now for 2011.<br /><br /><br /><br />I hope with this information you can make the right choice for you. If picture quality is the most important I personally prefer plasma but local dimming led's are also very good and some people prefer them. If powerconsumption or design is leading LED is the way to go. 2 recommended sets coming out around april: LG's LW7700 series for led based lcd or the Samsung D6500 plasma. They are both 3d enabled sets with active shutter glasses. </div><div style='padding-bottom:15px' id='separator'><br></div><br/><br/><br/>Powered by Yahoo!

<br /> <i>What's the difference between the C, D, and E? All I want is sick picture and sound. I don't care for extra features this TV will simply be used to play videogames and watch a movie every now and then</i>
<br /> </div><br /><br><div id='ya_answer' style='clear: both'><u><b>Answer</b></u><br> A quick explanation of the Samsung serial numbers:<br /><br />Part 1, the display technology: UN = LED, LN = LCD, PN = plasma<br />Part 2, the size: easy to recognize, it's 46-inch<br />Part 3, the series: D6000, ES8000, C7000, loads of variations. The C series are from 2010, D is from 2011, E(S) is from 2012. The number indicates the specs/features.<br /><br />A few examples: UN46Cxxxx is a 46-inch LED screen from 2010, a PN55Dxxxx is a 55-inch plasma from 2011. A UN55D7000 has the same features as a UN46D7000, just a bigger screen.<br /><br />Over the last years, image quality improved but not as fast as new fancy features were added. If you don't need gesture control, internet access, smart TV features and apps, a HDTV from 2010 would be perfectly fine, the irony is that most of them are more expensive now that the new 2012 ones. The UN46C6500 for example costs about $1.4k, the UN46ES6500 slightly more than $1k.<br /><br />Bottom line: My recommendation would be the UN46EH6000. No 3D, no unneeded features, but 240Hz refresh rate, decent image quality, 2x HDMI, 1x USB, Dolby Digital Plus/Dolby Pulse, barely more than $800 for a perfect "basic" HDTV. Sick sound? All modern flatscreen HDTVs have built-in 10-20 watt speakers. That's far from perfect, no matter what manufacturer you look at, these thin little speakers can't do wonders. Some sort of home theatre kit is definitely recommended for all audiophiles. </div><div style='padding-bottom:15px' id='separator'><br></div><div id='ya_title'><H2>What is the best 3D HDTV to buy in 2012?</H2> </div><div id='ya_question'>

<br /> <i>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.</i>
<br /> </div><br /><br><div id='ya_answer' style='clear: both'><u><b>Answer</b></u><br> Ah, the McDonald's Monopoly game... chasing after that one color stamp to win the big prize. If only it was that simple. <br /><br />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:â¢Medium Fries ($1.75) â Odds 1 in 9, or 11.1% chance you win. <br />⢠Quarter Pounder w/ Cheese ($3.60) â Odds 1 in 44, or 2.3% chance you win. <br />⢠Small McCafe or Smoothie ($2.40) â Odds 1 in 44, or 2.3% chance you win. <br />⢠McFlurry ($2.55) â Odds 1 in 44, or 2.3% chance you win. <br />⢠Breakfast Sandwich ($2.65) â Odds 1 in 22, or 4.6% chance you win<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Here is a list of the odds for all of the properties (plus the toughest one of each set to obtain):<br />BROWN: Mediterranean Ave, odds 1 in 30 million wins $1,000.<br />⢠LIGHT BLUE: Vermont Ave, odds 1 in 40 million, wins $5,000.<br />⢠PINK: Virginia Ave, odds 1 in 200 million, wins $10,000<br />⢠ORANGE: Tennessee Ave, odds 1 in 602 million, wins Super Bowl tickets.<br />⢠RED: Kentucky Ave, odds 1 in 15 million, wins one of 40 plane tickets for two.<br />⢠YELLOW: Ventnor Ave, odds 1 in 300 million, wins $20,000<br />⢠GREEN: Pennsylvania Ave, odds 1 in 40 million, wins one of 15 Fiat cars. <br />⢠BLUE: Boardwalk, 1 in 602 million, wins $1,000,000 in $50,000 annual payments.<br />⢠RAILROADS: Short Line railroad, 1 in 150 million, wins a year's supply of gas. <br /><br />Do you see the challenge? It's not getting two of the three properties, it's getting the extremely scarce third one. <br /><br />Here, btw, are the odds for winning the non-food prizes:<br />40 point MyCoke Reward (or medium Coke) - 1 in 151<br />$5 McDonald's Arch card - 1 in 21,518<br />EA Sports $10 promo code - 1 in 161<br />$10 Shell Gift Card - 1 in 60,250<br />Hasbro Monopoly Board Game - 1 in 60,250<br />$25 Shell Gift Card - 1 in 86,071<br />Shutterfly 8x8 PhotoBook - 1 in 302<br />EA Sports Game - 1 in 35,441<br />$50 - 1 in 60,250<br />ur Beats Earphones - 1 in 4,061,000<br />$100 - 1 in 105,701<br />Panasonic Lumix TS20 Digital Still camera - 1 in 1,506,202<br />Beats by Dr. Dre Phil Speaker - 1 in 4,016,601<br />Headphones - 1 in 301,245,030<br />Panasonic Viera 50-inch Plasma HDTV - 1 in 10,401,541<br />$5,000 - 1 in 40,166,041<br />EA Sports NFL Game Experience - 1 in 10,041,541<br />Beaches Resorts Vacation - 4,634,539<br />Ace Hardware $7,500 Home Fix-Up - 1 in 31,710,004<br />NFL Pro Bowl Experience - 30,124,503<br />2013 Fiat 500 Hatchback - 1 in 60,249,006<br />2013 Fiat 500 Cabrio - 1 in 60,249,006<br />$20,000 - 1 in 200,830,020<br />$100,000 - 1 in 301,245,030<br /><br />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. </div><div style='padding-bottom:15px' id='separator'><br></div><br/><br/><br/>Powered by Yahoo!

<br /> <i>We just got a 50" Samsung HPT5064 plasma HDTV and a lot of channels (non-HD) seem to have a grainy or low quality picture. Is there some setting we should change?

<br /> </div><br /><br><div id='ya_answer' style='clear: both'><u><b>Answer</b></u><br> SD TV does not look good on an HDTV. On my 40", I have to sit about 8" back for it to look good, and my set was well rated for SD display. How good or bad it looks depends on the input signal's quality. A 50" widescreen has a picture height equivalent to a 41" standard TV. When you blow-up analog TV that was never designed for displays that large, right away you have a problem. On top of that, in order to be displayed on an HDTV, the signal has to be deinterlaced and up-scaled to the native resolution of the set. This processing introduces artifacts. Non-up-converted DVDs should look pretty good. That;'s as good as you can get from SD material. If from about 10", your picture isn't acceptable, then you may want to look for a set that's better rated for SD. </div><div style='padding-bottom:15px' id='separator'><br></div><div id='ya_title'><H2>What to get, Plasma or LCD?</H2> </div><div id='ya_question'>

<br /> <i>Not sure what to purchase, new 3D Plasma HDTV or a 3D LED LCD HDTV?</i>
<br /> </div><br /><br><div id='ya_answer' style='clear: both'><u><b>Answer</b></u><br> Whether to get a plasma or led based lcd depends on your picture quality demands, budget, power requirements and design requirements. <br /><br />Picture Quality: Plasma generates a picture by lighting a phosphor, where lcd's filter white light with a membrane.

A good 50" plasma tv is 1000-1500 dollars. A local dimming set is 1500-2000$. Edge lit lcd's generally suck. (Except samsung's top line with micro dimming plus) In the lower price segment you have more options with LED sets than in plasma, and cheap plasma's are often only 720p sets (1024x768 or 1366x768 resolution).<br /><br />Power: Led tv's consume less power. Edge lit tv's use the least power.(around 100W) Then local dimming.(100-150W) Then plasma(250W average, a plasma uses less power on a dark screen). A plasma will cost you 30$ a year more on power on average.<br /><br />Design: LED tv's generally look thinner and have better design. Plasma's got better though, and Samsung has introduced plasma's with an inch thinner bezel now for 2011.<br /><br /><br /><br />I hope with this information you can make the right choice for you. If picture quality is the most important I personally prefer plasma but local dimming led's are also very good and some people prefer them. If powerconsumption or design is leading LED is the way to go. 2 recommended sets coming out around april: LG's LW7700 series for led based lcd or the Samsung D6500 plasma. They are both 3d enabled sets with active shutter glasses. </div><div style='padding-bottom:15px' id='separator'><br></div><br/><br/><br/>Powered by Yahoo!
