Q. It's a 65 inch sony hdtv. There are borders that are different colors. The border has shrunk. So, it is not normal size. Could it be the cable box? Or is it the tv? If so can it be fix? Will it be cheap? And or how much longer will it last?
A. It's probbly you tv that's the problem. Try hooking you cable box up to another tv. If it looks fine then your tv is the problem. how old is the TV? Chances are it can be fix. If you want it fixed, get a quote first. If the price of the repair is close or more than the price of the TV.... get a new TV.
I'm trying to decide between several 65-inch televisions?
Q. I'm trying to decide between several 65-inch televisions: the latest Pioneer plasma, the Samsung LCD, the Sony LCD and the Sharp Aquos. I am leaning towards the plasma based on the reviews but was wondering if there were any strong opinions against it.
A. If you restrict yourself to 65-inch class flat panel displays then you currently have a very limited selection: no LED-backlit LCD TV’s and no Pioneer plasma displays.
Plasma display technology is far from being “phased-out” and at least three major CE manufacturers continue to offer plasma displays: Matsushita (Panasonic), Samsung and LG. Plasma displays consistently remain at or near the top of the performance list from nearly every source of reputable TV reviews (though local-dimming LED-backlit LCD TV’s are beginning to challenge the performance areas—other than viewing angle—where emissive displays such as PDP’s have traditionally excelled.)
At this point in time the Panasonic V Series plasma displays offer the best value in terms of initial cost versus overall picture quality, esp. where more than one or two people are expected to be viewing the screen at one time. For me the choice between a CCFL-backlit LCD TV and any of the Samsung PNB850/860 series, Panasonic V series or Pioneer KURO plasma displays is easy - I overwhelmingly prefer the picture quality of plasma; but I also ensure that the room is always dark when viewing movies and certain TV programs.
As good as the latest LED-backlit LCD TV’s are, particularly the top-of-the-line Samsung models, and as good as the Panasonic V10 series are, the Pioneer KURO and Elite KURO plasma TV’s and monitors continue to remain the reference standard against which all top performing consumer displays are being compared.
In the process of choosing a new fixed-pixel flat panel display, irrespective of the display technology, it is very important that you take into consideration the performance of the image and video processing of the flat-panel TV’s in which you’re interested, esp. if you regularly watch standard definition video content such as DVD-Video as well as SD programming from Cable TV, DBS and/or OTA.
One final word of advice: you should make every effort to visit your local dealers and thoroughly and carefully evaluate each of the displays which interest you, preferably under viewing conditions that are (adjusted to be) similar to yours.

Lcd tv or projector for movie room What speakers to purchase for surround sound?
Q. I just built a 10'-6"x18' move room. Now i have to decide a 65" lcd or install a projector on the ceiling. Also what spekers do i purchase for surround sound. I have a harmon kardon reciver already and a subwoofer.
A. This Mitsubishi WD-73737 73-Inch 1080p 120Hz Home Theater DLP HDTV is great. I was looking at LCD and DLP TVs, and the DLP offer bigger screens and the same great picture at a lower price. HDTV, Blu-Ray, DVD, etc all look great on this TV. 1080p resolution is amazing, I have an older 52 inch HDTV, which displays 1080i and this DLP looks 10 times better.
Out of the box, this DLP is very color rich, especially in the reds and yellows, which I easily corrected using the PerfectPicture Menu. I toned down all colors by 5 and the red and yellow by 10. This made the picture look a lot better.
I am using various types of connections on it (HDMI, Component, and Composite) and each input delivers a great picture. I use the HDMI to connect my PS3, component cables connect my Dish receiver and DVD player, and the composite cable connects the Wii. This TV automatically recognizes when devices are connected and allows you to name each connnection.
You can't go wrong with this one.
