Q. We are thinking of buying a new tv and dont know which one to get.Plasmas seem to be cheaper but I am looking for the pros and cons between a plasma and a LCD.
A. Due to posting limitations in Yahoo! Answers I have posted my attempt at a reasonably thorough overview of the pros and cons of plasma and LCD technology on the Google Docs Webpage to which I’ve provide a link below.
Plasma vs. LCD Technology

If you seriously value video image fidelity and would like a reasonably immersive experience when viewing movies then I strongly recommend purchasing the largest direct-view 1080p HDTV that you can afford (preferably a minimum of 50 inches, give or take 2 or 3 inches, up to a maximum of roughly 70 inches.) It is important that you choose an HDTV that will provide the best video (processing) performance when using a wide mix of video source material without sacrificing user-friendly operation as well as interoperability with other video equipment, namely HDMI-equipped video components such as upscaling DVD players, BD players, cable set-tops, etc.
Based solely on video image quality the pricey Pioneer KURO PDPs set the standard and remain one of THE best consumer TVs currently on the market. I highly recommend taking a serious look at Panasonic’s (PZ800 Series) PDPs and—to a somewhat lesser extent—Samsung’s (650 Series) PDPs as well as VIZIO’s new VP505XVT if you’re interested in good quality, lower-cost alternatives.
If you have a viewing environment containing substantial illumination I would give additional consideration to LCD TVs from Samsung (A650 Series,) Sony and a few other brands.
When shopping for a new HDTV (assuming you still watch—or plan on watching—a moderate amount of SD video material,) be sure to thoroughly test the TVs in which you’re interested using a wide variety of source materials, especially average quality non-upscaled, non-HD source material, (as well as Silicon Optix’s HQV Benchmark discs, if possible,) input directly into each of the TV’s video inputs that you plan on using. Doing so should help you quickly assess the TV’s video and image processing performance as well as the TV’s ability to provide such video and image processing without incurring noticeable lip-sync error.

Where can I find a remote control for the Hitachi DZHV1074?
Q. I recently bought one and I really want to make pictures and videos from a distance. The side of the box says that there are remote controls compatible with it, so I thought I would buy one. The problem is: I can't find anyone! I thought maybe you could help me out, I would be really thankful!
A. Hi "Legotioned", and welcome to Yahoo!Answers:
Even though you say the box for your Hitachi DZ-HV1074 mentions remote controls, I looked through the entire factory manual PDF and saw neither an IR sensor (for normal infrared remotes) nor a LANC or other wired R/C port, and absolutely no mention of remote control in the text. See: http://www.hitachiserviceeu.com/scripts/userguide.php/DZ-HV1074_EN.pdf
The only possibility I can think of, since your model has HDMI, is perhaps "HDMI-CEC" which is Consumer Electronics Control (marketed under various names like EasyLink, VIERA Link, Aquos Link, Bravia Link/Bravia Sync, etc. -- depending on the brand). Hitachi stuck with the generic HDMI-CEC name. This allows the HDTV's remote control to handle certain functions of the camcorder when connected via the HDMI cable. So perhaps the box was listing Hitachi or other HDTV & HD tuner/DVD-recorder remotes that were compatible.
Since HDMI-CEC commands and the pin-13 connection are all industry standards (though optional in a given device), you might eventually find custom "universal" wired HDMI remotes using gadgets similar to the Pulse-Eight Company's USB-to-CEC adapter: http://www.anandtech.com/show/5463/pulseeight-usb-cec-adapter-review
The only other "remote" feature, of course, would be the camcorder's self-timer -- which is useful for self-portraits or for vibration-free photos with longer exposures.
hope this helps,

What hdtv is good for gaming lag?
Q. I have a ps3 and im getting a small hdtv what brand is good and what definition like 1080i 1080p etc is best for lag
A. Keep in mind that you can not see the difference between 720P and 1080P, there are no software that are in the 1080i. I would recommend you look at the Panasonic or Samsung brand, they are the most reliable tv in the market today. For gaming you need to get a faster refresh rate of 120HZ to reduce the blur motion you get with any LCD or LED tv. Those bargain price tv like Insignia and Dynex have a slow response time and tends to have lag between video and audio. Keep in mind, you get what you pay for. If you read yahoo questions, you will notice that 95% of tv problems comes from those bargain price tv. Hope this will help you out.
