What would you consider is the starting size of a large LCD HDTV?
Q. What would you consider is the average size of a decent LCD HDTV. Im not worried about the size of my room or whatever....etc. I want to buy an LCD HDTV that is just a little larger than normal. So......what would you consider is the starting screen size of a "larger than average" LCD HDTV? The guys at Best Buy recommended a 42in.......what do you think? Do you think a 42+ inches is the starting size of a "larger" TV size?

A. i know people who have 37" and it suits them just fine for an upgrade. My family just got a 42" but we've been putting off getting one for over 3 years...and probably won't upgrade for another 5 years at least.

How can I tell if my TV is truly 120Hz?

Q. I've got a Samsung 46' LCD HDTV 1080p, 120hz.
Somehow I'm having doubts that it is rather 60hz.
Is there a way to find out? <------
(No I will not use Blue-rays (Avatar) or anything of this sort to test this out)
I'm thought the manual might have some information but I can't seem to find anything related to Hz or whatever.

A. Go on the Samsung Web site and look at the specs for your TV model. They are also usually printed at the end of the user manual.

If your TV has an option to control "Auto Motion" that is usually a sign that you have 120 Hz


Is it normal to see some white back light on LCD tvs during black background moments?
Q. Just purchased a Sony 40" LCD, 120 hz, HDTV/1080p TV. And my only gripe is when my screen is showing a black background, you can see the areas of the screen where the whiter areas from the backlight show. It's barely noticeable, but I wanted to make sure it's a fairly normal thing w LCD tvs?

A. It's a flaw of LCD TV and yes it's normal. The best LCD/LED TVs can keep this down, or make it harder to detect. Something to remember when people are shouting that LCD is better than plasma.

How do I shorten the life of my TV so it can blow out and so my dad can buy me a new one?

Q. I have this TV and had it since February 28th,2010
I have the new Insignia advanced serious TV LCD HDTV
click here
http://insigniaproducts.com/products/televisions/NS-L32X-10A.html
I was thinking about setting the settings to the highest level and leaving it on 24\7

A. Your TV is new enough. My TV is just over two years old, and I am not really considering replacing it.


How much do you think HDTVs will drop in price by April 2010?
Q. We want a 42" Panasonic 1080p which is $700, but we can't afford that. That is why I want to know how much all HDTVs will drop in price by then. What do you think?

A. No one can be sure, but i would think with the new LED tvs, that LCD's and plasma tv prices are gonna sink like a rock. Samsung, LG, Vizio, (that i know of) already have LED tvs on the market. so i would imagine if you want a LCD, it would be cheaper in april and continually dropping in price.

Can you tell the difference between 60hz and 120hz HDTVs?

Q. I'm looking to buy a new TV, around 40" 1080p for gaming, movies, and sports. It seems you can't buy a 120hz LCD HDTV for under $800 but is it really worth it?

Also, do you notice the difference much between the generic brands and higher end brands?

Thanks in advance to those giving good advice!

A. I believe you will see a big difference between 60 and 120 Hz on a 40" TV. Fast action, like sports, will look more fluid and smooth with a higher refresh rate.

No disrespect intended to Jason, but I think you're better off with a name-brand TV. I run a technical training facility. I have 3 32" LCD TVs with 60 Hz refresh rates side-by-side - Sony, Phillips, and Insignia. The Insignia looks great by itself, but turn on the Sony and Phillips, and the Insignia obviously has a lower picture quality than the others.

When you're in the store looking at TVs, bear in mind that they adjust picture elements to make the picture look the best it can in that environment. Ask the salesperson to adjust the picture back to factory default for each set you are considering. Then you can compare apples to apples. (The picture will be somewhat dull under the lighting in the store. It will look brighter in your living room.)


Why does my Halo 3 not go full screen when playing with a guest online?
Q. I can use the TVs zoom, but it gets a little distorted and cuts off part of the image. The rest of the game goes full screen, just when I play online.

I have a 46" 1080p 120hz LCD HDTV. It should work I think.

Can someone please help me?

A. Man i have the same question i asked this same question and stupid people thought i was talking about slitscreen people this guy is talking about the sides of the TV gets cut off hes not asking about slit screen. I have a 46 inch LCD HDTV and i asked the same question 10 minutes ago, oh and I think the problem is halo 3 only suits 720p not 1080p

What is the average lifespan of an LED TV viewed under the following settings?

Q. I watch a ton of Blu-Rays, HD cable and video games kn mh Samsung 46" LED TV. It is now over a year old. I run it about 4-5 hours a day, backlight set to 7, brightness at 40, contrast at 100, dark levels at darkest. These settings look outstanding with what I watch and play.
Based on these settings, what would the approx. lifespan of my TV be?

A. Most tv in the market today are rated at 60,000 to 100,000 hours before they go half it's brightness. This also depends on the brand that you get. Any bargain price tv are not very reliable. Go online to Home Theater Magazine and read the reviews on tvs along with the pro and con of each technology. You will notice that Panasonic dominates the list with a Plasma tv. In November issue of the magazine it named the Panasonic Plasma tv model VT25 as the best tv for 2010. If you read yahoo questions, you will notice that 95% of tv problems comes from LCD tv and 95% of those are the bargain price tv. Keep in mind, you get what you pay for. I still have my first Pioneer Plasma tv model 4330 purchased in 2002 and have had no problems (purchase price was $6,400). Hope this will help you out.


So if I go with a 46 LCD HDTV 1080p what brands and models are some of the best to go with?
Q. I'm just wondering if anyone else has an opinion about what the best options are for 46 LCD HDTV 1080p flat screens. I'm debating between a Samsung or Sharp but I'm not too familiar with what to look for. Anyone have some advice?

A. Honestly the best thing to do is to look at reviews online and specifications from review sites. There are two models you should consider for the Samsung and Sharp 46 LCD HDTV 1080p. Take a look at the Samsung LN46C630 and the Sharp Quattron LE821E or Aquos. Take a look at the following site which is solid for consumer reviews on http://46lcdhdtv1080p-userreviews.com . Hopefully this helps out with your question, good luck.

What is the difference between an LED LCD HDTV and an LCD HDTV?

Q. The reason I'm asking this, is because I'm going to buy one. But, I don't know the differences between them. Can you guys please tell me the advantages and disadvantages of each one? Also which type of these HDTVs lasts more time and which is more reliable? Last, which of these HDTVs do you guys recommend? Thanks, in advance.

A. The display technology in both types is the same - a Liquid Crystal Display panel. The difference is in the backlight. "Plain old" LCDs use a CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Light) backlight, while the LED models use LED (Light Emitting Diode) backlights.

LED backlighting typically looks nicer than CCFL backlighting, giving better color range, and in many cases offers a sharper picture.

At this point, I'd go for an LED backlit model if it was available.


Can someone explain the difference between LCD, LED, and Plasma TVs? Also, if 3D TV worth it?
Q. As far as I know, the LED technology was designed to be better than LCDs. 3 years ago, LCD seems to be the top dog in all HDTVs due to the technology and power savings, but as of recently I see people really favor Plasma. From what I understand, the flaws that Plasma TVs used to have have been improved significantly and it's currently the best selection for heavy video gaming as it has much more Hz.

And then there's 3D TVs. To me, 3D is nothing more than a gimmick or fad that will die out pretty soon, but it's been 2 years and almost every major video game support it today. I've never had an experience with a 3D TV besides trying it out for a couple seconds, so I don't know if I should go for it.

I will be shopping for a new TV this Black Friday and am looking through various deals. Right now, I am looking through many deals but can't decide what are the drawbacks from each. My budget is $500 max (without tax and warranty). All things considered (brand, price, size, type, etc.), which is the best pick out of these four?

[1] $299.99 (Reg $899.99) | Toshiba 50" LED-backlit LCD TV 1080p (FullHD) 50L2200U

[2] $479.99 (Reg $679.99) | TCL 48" 1080p 240Hz LED HDTV

[3] $499.99 (Reg $799.99) Samsung 40" 1080p 120Hz LED HDTV with 3D

[4] $497.99 (Current $899.99) | Samsung 40" LED 1080p 120Hz 3D HDTV (UN40EH6030FXZA), with 2 pairs of 3D glasses

Thanks.

A. LED TV's are LED backlit LCD screens that are brighter and arguably sharper than their LCD counterparts. Plasmas have deeper blacks than LCD's and are more for movie watching but if you are into sports then LED/LCD is superior.

I agree with you that 3D is a fad and personally I get sick and develop headaches when looking at the 3D imagery. There have not been enough studies done to determine what long term health effects 3D screens have on the eyes and that alone would be enough to turn me off.

What is the best way to watch dvds on a lcd hdtv? I hava an xbox360 but thinking about buying an upscaler?

Q. I might invest in a upscaling dvd to hddvd player. Should I? I have a 26" samsung lcd hdtv with hdmi input. Also, if I should, which should i get?

A. you dont need to invest in to it so soon. xbox 360 attached to hdtv via component input shows great picture. hddvd and blueray are two new upcoming formats but still a lot of controversy going on now. so better wait and enjoy normal dvds on 360 via component cable and relax.

What is the difference between a LCD-HDTV with 720p and 1080p?
Q. What is the difference between a Vizio LCD-HDTV with 720p and 1080p? I'm considering buying the 32 in with the 720p.

A. You'd have to sit 6 feet or less from your 32" TV to see the difference between 720 and 1080 in terms of resolution. See the following chart...

Does it matter if a small LCD TV is not HD ready?

Q. I have seen a nice Sony 15" LCD Tv with Freeview built in. However it says it is not HD ready. Does this matter for the purposes of a 15-incher? We go digital in 2011 in our area. Grateful for any advice.

A. if your tv is not HD ready, then you won't see High Definition pictures. This has nothing to do with the conversion from analog to digital local broadcasts. Yes, typically HD tvs are also capable of receiving local digital channels, but this is totally separate from High Definition technology.

If, however, you are referring to digital signals (DTV), the FCC is requiring local broadcasters to convert from analog to digital by 2/17/2009 (for all "full power" stations).

If you receive local channels over UHF/VHF local antenna, you will need to get an digital to analog converter that goes between you antenna and tv. If you have a cable box or satellite decoder, you don't have to worry, as they will convert the signal at their source for you. Also, if you replace this TV with one capable of receiving digital signals before next year, you will not need the converter.

After this date, if you have the proper TV or converter, you will be able to see the digital signals in normal (not HD) format. HD TVs that are capable of both digital TV and HDTV will receive both signals as sent by your local TV broadcaster. Those not in HD format will be digital but in conventional format.

If you need a converter, you can get a voucher to get one for free. See http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/digitaltv.html for more information or see https://www.dtv2009.gov/ to apply for a coupon for a free converter.

PS Our HD/DTV has incredible local channels off our local antenna, better than DirecTV provides off the dish. And I am not about to pay that extra for only a few channels on the dish. You have to reprogram the channels on your TV to remove the analog signals and accept the digital ones, but the picture is so much better, I find myself not watching overpriced satellite tv so much and might even dump it unless they lower their prices.


why is my friend being charged so much on her credit card?
Q. i owe $239 on a lcd lg flat sceen tv. thats on layaway. my friend offered to pay it all off for me on her credit card(capital one). she just called me and told me that the credit card co. just told her that if she spends $2oo she has to pay back $295. is this true? or is she just rying to be a loan shark? thanks for all answers.

A. Layaway? A blast from the past. I didn't know people did that any more. I recently took home an HDTV at Best Buy for 0% interest until August 2011, but even if I only pay $100 per month, I will have it paid off long before then. And I have bought things at Circuit City too for 0% interest (maybe why they went belly up).

As mentioned, as part of new credit card regulations they may have to tell her what it would cost to pay it off if she only make minimum payments, since they are required to disclose that now on statements. That is because some people with no financial smarts didn't realize what it would actually cost them if they only make minimum payments, instead of paying it off as rapidly as possible.

What Tv should i buy?

Q. 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?

A. 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.

What brand should I get for a 32 inch LCD screen?

Q. I am looking for a 32 inch LCD Sceen. I want a cheaper one but I want something that will last so if I need to spend more money I will. I need a DVI a pc input. I want to use it for a split screen with me mac book pro. So silver would be the best color. Something that can mount on the wall or stand because I change my mind a lot. I must have HDTV also. What I really would like is a nice looking tv but the screen also has to look good to. I am willing to spend up to a 1000 dollars maybe a little more. The cheaper the better but I want all the specs I said before.

Help me please. Thank you!!!

A. I started with A 32" ilo from Walmart.
I wanted it for the space saver & Also to hook up A Computer.It did have the VGA port for PC hook up but This TV sucked.Its A Walmart Brand & I believe they might of stopped selling it.
I returned it & got the RCA 32". I had to return it because it seemed to pause on the picture but LOVED the TV.I paid 1000.00 for it. When I returned the TV they did'nt have another 1 in stock So upgraded to the 37" RCA which was 1300.00.WOW was I happy with the end result! The picture is 100% better than the 32". You have to walk around the side of the TV going into the room & that is where I saw the Picture Difference.
I'm not sure if the 32",or the 37" is still available but I'm sending you the link to Walmart & it will have 1 of the TV's you are basically looking for in Your price range.

By the Way this TV has All the Specs you are Looking for.

What type of plasma TV should i get?

Q. I had a Vizio 37inch TV but it broke and im going TV shopping Friday or on the 27 and was wondering what brand of plasma TV i should get? I also play my PS3 on it so take that in to consideration.

A. Keep in mind that Plasma tv only starts at the 42" to 65". Panasonic has the best Plasma tv in the market today. They have more Plasma tv being recommended that from any other manufacturer either in the LCD or LED. Go online to Home Theater Magazine and read the reviews on tvs. They rated the Panasonic Plasma tv model VT series as the best tv for 2010. Keep in mind, you get what you pay for. Vizio is a bargain price tv and it is not verry good in reliability. Hope this will help you out.


What is the best home theater projector available for less than $6000?
Q. I would like the best picture quality available.

A. There are several projectors available in this ($0 - $6000.00) category. In fact as technology has improved, pictures have gotten better and cost has come down to where most folks can actually afford to enjoy LARGE Screen movies in their own home!

*There are 3 projector technologies that are currently in use in the home entertainment industry: LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), DLP (Digital Light Processing) and LCoS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon.)

***LCD is the most mature of the three types in terms of age and number of units produced. It claims it's roots in the commercial and House of Worship (HoW) arena. Because of this, there are more "high brightness" LCD projectors than any other type. If you're theater is situated in a daylight room with little in the way of light control, LCD may be an excellent choice. Their picture quality has also improved over the years to the point where some brands are considered fairly stiff competition for some of the DLP and LCoS offerings. The best LCD projectors will most certainly look much better than their DLP or LCoS counterparts in this price range if the room's light can not be properly controlled.

Answer a) Ep son's Pro-Cinema series LCD projectors are a favorite in the daylight or medium lit room category and worth a serious LOOK!

**DLP is the technology that Texas Instruments (TI) developed to improve black levels and color accuracy. Over 6000 commercial DLP Cinemas were installed as of 2008 (currently searching for an update to this count) and they hold the lions share of all new Cinema installations world wide due to their VERY HIGH contrast ratio and resolution. The first company to partner with TI and offer a DLP Projector was the Kennesaw, GA manufacturer, ******Digital Projections Inc. (DPI) who is the ONLY projector manufacturer to ever win an EMMY Award for a projector (actually two Emmy's were awarded to DPI in 1998 for Outstanding Achievement in Engineering development.) By the way, DPI offered 18 new 3-D projectors at InfoCom 2010.

Pricing for DPI projectors starts nearer to the $9k mark than $6k but worth a look if you inherit your rich uncle's change purse. Outstanding picture quality! State of the Art. If you can afford it, DPI is the 800lb Gorilla in the room of DLP Projection!

Answer b) Digital Projection's DLP projectors - Worth a Really $erious LOOK if you can afford it!

*****Mitsubishi may be the best known and most sought after manufacturer of DLP TVs and projectors. They offer both front projection (on the ceiling) and rear projection (table top TVs.) Their table top line has recently become VERY, VERY popular due to their outstanding picture quality, *3-D capability (since 2007!) and size vs. price. If 82" is large enough for your Home Theater or Family Room (and that IS really pretty BIG!) then you should consider these products. No "DARK ROOM" needed.

Although some of them ARE wall mountable, they may be a little too deep for some folks taste. That being said, we've seen many of them mounted in built-in "cabinet nooks" and above fireplaces and their very thin bezel looks fantastic when installed this way. The Mitsubishi front projectors have been very highly reviewed in the trade and on-line review magazines and have fantastic pictures. These projectors and TVs will easily fit within your requested price cap with room to spare for all the add-ons you will probably need to finish off your new Man (or Woman)-Cave.

A word about 3-D: *3-D is really cool but if 3-Dimensional movies really are YOUR thing, make sure your TV or projection screen is plenty Big enough. Anything smaller than (approx) 72" diagonal is going to leave most of you wanting more. If you don't believe me, take a look at the closest Big Box Store that demonstrates 3-D. There's nothing worse than a 3-D animated graphic or effect that becomes 2-D at the edges because your "Field of View" is larger than the screen! YUK! You either need to scoot up really close (for 50"-65" sets) or be sure that the screen you purchase is taller than your *3-D glasses lens (field of view) so you can sit in your favorite chair 10-12 feet away.

Answer c) Mitsubishi Table Top DLP TVs - If 82" is big enough and you don't have to hang it on the wall, these TVs are outstanding in any light condition and the Price is Right. They have several 3-D models. They are worth a Serious LOOK!

Answer d) Mistubishi's front projectors (either series) are a great value for light controlled rooms with fantastic color pallet and contrast ratio. Better than most LCD given you have some sort of light control. Dark Room is BEST! Worth a LOOK!

You may want to consider the Optoma brand as well if front projection DLP is what you need. They have been coming on strong for the last couple of years and have proven to be incredibly competitive to Mitsubishi! Very quiet and easy to place in an odd shaped room with lens shift features.

Answer e) Optoma projectors - The higher end of the Op

Sitting 14 feet away from a 32 inch LCD HDTV?
Q. I was planning on getting a 32 inch LCD HDTV but I read from amazing that I shouldn't be sitting more than 8 feet away in that case. Will there be a noticeable difference if I sit 14 feet away?

A. Its just like any other TV you may have owned or used in your lifetime. There is going to be a sweet spot in viewing distance. If you sit to close it might hurt your eyes. If you sit too far back you might lose a bit of the details on the screen. That's about it.

32" would have an optimal viewing distance more in the 4-6 feet kind of range. So in watching it from 14 feet away, you likely will not see some of the finer details in the programming you watch. But that doesn't mean you still won't see and enjoy the programming. I think the biggest impact it might have is for sports and trying to follow a small object (puck, golf ball, etc.). But most news and like drama or comedy TV shows should be fine. Even movies off of BluRay or such would be fine, they just won't be "optimal" (but optimal is a subjective thing anyway).

You didn't mention why you're going at 32" though? Are you looking at that size cause of budget or cause of restrictions of how physically big the TV can be in the spot you're putting it. If its physical size and you're stuck, well not much you can do. If its budget, I would honestly consider a 42" 720p Plasma. You can pick up one of those without going a lot higher than a good 32" would cost you.

A good quality 32" set is likely going to float you in around $400, maybe a bit less. A 42" Plasma from ABC Warehouse can be had for $539 (I'd recommend the Panasonic one). Right now there are 3 42" 720p Plasmas on sale at ABC Warehouse for $539. So yes it is definitely more than a 32" set, but 42" isn't completely unattainable I would think. And 720p is all you need at 42", especially at 14 feet back. If you can manage that, I think it would give you a bit better result.

Will a HDMI cable really change the picture quality of my LCD?

Q. I just bought a 46" Samsung LCD HDTV 1080 and was wondering how to get a better picture quality could anyone tell me what type and brand HDMI cable to buy? Would it really make a difference?

A. Of course the picture will look better with HDMI but only if your going to have a high definition source coming from it like HD cable, blu ray player, or a dvd upconverter, or ps3. But if your going to not have an HD source than a HDMI cable is useless.


Brand doesnt matter and the difference from a Monster HDMI Cable and a Phillips HDMI cable is minimal to no difference at all. so dont let the best buy employees rip you.


Can you change the resolution of HD LCD TVs?
Q. I have a 46" Samsung LCD HDTV (LN46A750R1FXZC) that looks pretty nice when viewing HDTV content. Like most HDTV's, they don't show Standard Definition signals that well due to their high resolution. It seems to me that you should be able to adjust the resolution so it will display lower resolution images clearly without stretching them out, like on a computer display. What gives?

A. Lets say your TV has a resolution of 1280x720

A standard def signal is 720x480; if you don't scale it, then you will see the signal in a small square in the middle of the screen!
The square will be even smaller for 1080p TV. I don't think you bought a 46" TV to have half the screen black.

How do I set up a soundbar for my HDTV (for use with XBOX 360, blu-ray, etc)?

Q. I want to buy a soundbar. I have a Panasonic TC-L32X2 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV with iPod Dock.

I'd like to buy the Philips CSS2123B/F7 SoundBar Home Cinema Speakers

First of all, are they compatible with each other? Would I need to purchase a coaxial cable to connect the TV to the soundbar? I have an XBOX 360, blu-ray player, and Wii U all connected to the TV via HDMI ports. Would I be able to hear sound from those devices if the soundbar is connected to the TV or does it have to be connected to the specific device in use at the time?

Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

A. Yes.

You will be connecting the TV to the soundbar via optical cable and the setting then TV speakers to External in the user menu. Then connect everything using HDMI and your cooking with gas.

Hope that helps.


What do i need to complete my HD setup, and is afforadable?
Q. I have a 26" LG LCD HDTV and a XBOX 360 and i wouls like to get some HD surround sound speakers and watch DVD's in HD quality, what should i get that is not thousands of dollars?

A. First of all, make 100% sure that your tv is an HDTV, and isn't HD ready or an HD monitor.

Right now, the standard xbox360 cannot play movies in HD. I believe it converts standard dvds to 420i to 720i signals. They're going to market an add-on hd-dvd player for the 360 that'll allow you to play hd-dvds on your 360, the add-on should cost around $200. Get that, then you can really watch movies in true HD (remember, you'll have to buy HD-DVD discs. They cost like $25 at the moment. They can play dvds, but will not be in HD).

Also, make sure you have the component cables, as the standard AV cables (red, yellow, white) cannot play any HD formats. I'm sure your tv has them, but make sure you have component inputs (red, blue, green) for the component cables. I'm not sure if the hd-dvd add-on will use DVI or HDMI, but those are both useful inputs as well.

And, for surround sound from your 360, a standard theatre-in-a-box that has Dolby Digital, DTS, etc will work. You'll just need an optical audio cable to run from your 360 to the theatre receiver, as the red and white audio cables cannot support DD or DTS, only stereo and mono.

All together, it'll cost you around $500, +/- $100 to get setup for true HD and surround sound.

There are a few links below to some good options. You don't have to get exactly what I post, or from where I post, but just check it out.

Why does my LCD HDTV have black bars on the left and right sides of the screen?

Q. I have a 32'' widescreen audiovox LCD HDTV. I also own a comcast digital cable box, which we used to view hi-def programs through component cables. We recently got a dvi cable and now sandard-def programs have black bars on the left and right of the screen. Th HD is fine,no black bars. But standard-def channels now have black bars on the left and right, but they did not before when we used component cables. Any help would be appreciated.

A. Widescreen TV's are wider than standard def TV's. You have space left over on each side when you put the shape of a standard def program on the screen. You can always stretch or zoom, but that's your preference. I would keep it as it is and see the original content the way it was meant to be viewed.

Standard-def channels have a 4:3 aspect ratio; the width is 4/3 = 1.333 times longer than the height.

High-def channels have a 16:9 aspect ratio; the width is 16/9 = 1.78 times longer than the height.

If you take a standard def image (1.33:1) and put it in a widescreen set as large as it will fit, you will have black bars on the left and right.

It used to be that all programs (movies and television) had a 4:3 apsect ratio. When television was introduced, the theatres had to have something novel to draw audiences back to the theatre. They switched to even larger aspect rations of 1.85:1 or 2.35:1 (width is 2.35 times longer than the height). Early movies like "Gone with the Wind" the original "Dracula" and even "The Wizard of Oz" were all 1.33:1 and would fit perfectly on standard def screens.

Since a lot of movies have even wider screens than HDTV's, you are going to even run into black bars on the top and bottom.

16:9 (1.78:1) is basically a compromise between standard def (1.33:1) and theater (2.35:1).

A. the sd picture on your 26" will look good, maybe a little foggy. Use the S-video input for the best results. I would avoid the HD programming option on a set that small because the HD resolution doesn't really shine until a 40" screen but that's with my eyes your results may vary

How much do you think HDTVs will drop in price by April 2010?

Q. We want a 42" Panasonic 1080p which is $700, but we can't afford that. That is why I want to know how much all HDTVs will drop in price by then. What do you think?

A. No one can be sure, but i would think with the new LED tvs, that LCD's and plasma tv prices are gonna sink like a rock. Samsung, LG, Vizio, (that i know of) already have LED tvs on the market. so i would imagine if you want a LCD, it would be cheaper in april and continually dropping in price.


whats the best flat screen tv out there?
Q. i have a philips LCD HDTV 1080 regular channels suck.and the color goes dark and bright sometimes on all the channels.my spending limit is 1100.and only a 47" and up.are plasmas good?i heard they get hot.whats the best tv to get?i want clear crisp sharp channels.any suggestions?

A. SD is 4:3 aspect ratio and 720x480 resolution
HD is 16:9 aspect ratio and 1280x720 or 1920x1080 resolution

So there is a discrepancy on 2 fronts. The resolution one being the more significant of the two. It means that if you play SD content to your HDTV, the HDTV is going to up-scale the SD to its native resolution. That process softens the image quite a bit. There is nothing you can do about it. This is just part of the reality of owning an HDTV in a world where SD is still broadcast. HDTV owners just get used to it, sooner or later; and they start gravitating towards more HD content.

Also, broadcast TV, even HD broadcasts, are heavily compressed. So while HD broadcast will look way better than an SD broadcast, it won't look quite as good as BluRay. BluRay just has way more data/information to work with to deliver you a better picture.

Plasma can deliver you some of the best picture quality in HDTVs at superior prices. This is because inherent to the technology is superior motion playback and superior image quality. So you're not having to pay for extra features.

LCDs need 120Hz or 240Hz refresh rates to deal with motion blur problems. LCDs need to offer your LED LCDs in order to improve blacks, contrasts, and colors (and compete with Plasma). But you, the consumer, have to pay for those features. And those features are basically just trying to make an LCD image match the quality of a Plasma. So why pay the extra amount?

Plasmas do run a bit hotter than LCDs. But we're not talking "if you touch it, it will burn you" hot. Its a few degrees. If a pet or child brushed up against it, it wouldn't hurt them in the slightest of ways. Its more of an LCD fanboy misconception than anything else.

If you do go Plasma, I highly recommend you look at Panasonic first and foremost. They are the leader in Plasmas right now. They have one of the strongest reliability reputations in the industry (if not the single strongest reputation). They deliver amazing quality at competitive prices.

As for specific suggestions,

PANASONIC TCP50U2 - 50" 1080p Plasma - $989 @ ABC Warehouse
PANASONIC TCP50S2 - 50" 1080p Plasma - $1169 @ ABC Warehouse
- the S series simply has a bit higher contrast rating than the U series, but otherwise are very similar quality sets

Panasonic VIERA S1 Series TC-P50S1 - 50" 1080p Plasma - $1,030 @ Amazon.com
Panasonic VIERA U1 Series TC-P50U1 - 50" 1080p Plasma - $962 @ Amazon.com
- the S1 and U1 vs S2 and U2 mean that these are the 2009 models and the "2" ones above at ABC Warehouse are the 2010 models. But if you're looking to save a few extra bucks, these are an option to consider

If you are really set on LCD though, for any reason, I would recommend either a Sony or Sharp series. Look for something that is 1080p and 120Hz (or 240Hz). I think you can find a 46" or 47" model with those specs and within your budget.

SONY KDL46EX500 46" 1080p 120Hz - $989 @ ABC Warehouse
Samsung LN46C630K1F 46" 1080p 120Hz - $990 @ Best Buy
Sony KDL46HX701 46" 1080p 240Hz - $1,440 @ Best Buy (I know above your budget, but is a really nice set/series from Sony, so incase you could increase your budget a bit I thought I'd throw it out there)

Oh but, please don't rely solely on my comments, or any one else's. Please do go into a store and bring your eyes into the equation. Stand back from the TVs the same distance you would be at home. Then take a long hard look at content being played on them. You can use spec sheets and opinions/reviews to help your narrow the selection, but at some point, your eyes need to become part of the decision. If you can't see a difference, go with the cheaper choice and save the $.

Why won't my led tv give the best gaming graphics?

Q. I have a 40 inch Samsung led TV. I got it mainly for good gaming graphics, but it's not giving me really good results. I've seen other tv's have amazing gaming picture quality. How can I make the quality of gaming graphics better on an led TV?

A. You do not have a "LED" tv. You have an LCD tv with LED back-lighting. This it to improve black-levels.

For gaming - you also need 120 hz to reduce motion blur.

You may have failed to go to your game system and tell it you have a HDTV with 1080 resolution.

You may also need to properly adjust the Brightness, Contrast, Color. Get a Pixar movie and go to the disk setup menu. You will find test patterns and instructions for setting the basic TV settings.

Get your setup correct and it should improve things.

Note: Televisions in the stores are set to nearly 100% Brightness and Contrast to make them 'eye catching'. However this tends to loose fine details and colors will then bloom or expand into other areas. While it looks impressive for the 10-60 seconds you walk buy - it does not look good for long term viewing. So do NOT compare your screen to one you saw in a store display.

Hope this helps.


Do you still own a CRT television, if so what is your reasoning for not getting rid of it yet?
Q. In my house we own 3 flat screen HDTV's I bought the first two and my mother bought a very expensive third, what's your reason for not switching to the HD flat screen era of TV's?

A. Yes I do. In fact, I have two houses with a total of six televisions. All of them are CRTs, and all of them still work perfectly fine. One of them I bought this past April. The tricksters at the store I bought it at tried putting the display model right under a 52 inch 1080p Sony Bravia, but with my knowledge of televisions and my own two eyes comparing it to similarly-sized LCD HDTVs in the store, I saw that it produced a picture that was no worse than the LCDs, in fact I thought it was better. And this is why:
1. LCDs do not produce contrast anywhere near the levels of CRTs. Even LED-backlit models cannot match the black level of CRT televisions.
2. The response time on LCDs is inherently slow enough that motion blur can be observed in fast-action scenes, especially models with 60 Hertz refresh rates while watching movies. No such thing has ever existed with the CRT in its 100+ year history.
3. The viewing angles of LCD displays are relatively narrow. No matter how the manufacturers try to report them, I KNOW when I'm looking at the TV from off to the side or below and the contrast is going to zero. With my CRT television placed about 4 feet to the right of my desk, I can watch TV while working at my desk, and not see incorrect colors.
4. Speaking of colors, the CRT accurately reproduces the colors, as it is not backlit by a fluorescent light producing light of inconsistent wavelengths that cannot match up with the wavelengths of light that the liquid crystals can block.

The icing on the cake? The CRT cost me about half as much as a comparably-sized LCD would have cost me. And guess what, its screen IS flat. (In general for electronics you get what you pay for, but only when comparing TVs of the same display type.)

In addition, I don't have HD programming or a Blu-Ray player, the only gaming I ever do is with a PS2 (non-HD), and I still watch a lot of DVDs and VHS tapes. Non-HD content always looks WORSE on a HDTV of fixed-pixel (non-CRT) technology because of the scaling and de-interlacing that must take place. If I need better picture quality on cable, I just switch to the digital cable channel.

Resolution is NOT as important of a spec as many people and HDTV manufacturers make it out to be. Your eye notices contrast, color, and smoothness (including fast response time) before it notices resolution. When watching constant motion video as on TV, your eye focuses on the motion and changes, the whole picture, rather than on fine details.

Finally, I would like to clear up the misconception that CRT televisions cannot be HDTVs. There were a number of 1080i CRT HDTVs made from the late '90s until about 2 years ago, from a number of brands including Sony, Samsung, RCA, Toshiba, Philips, Panasonic, and others, as well as CRT rear-projection by even more companies. You can take a 21 inch CRT computer monitor with a resolution of 1920x1440 or higher and hook up a HDTV source to a VGA transcoder, and there you have a small 1080p HDTV. And many CRT projectors could display higher than 1080p; the BarcoReality 909 could throw a resolution of 3200x2560p (almost 4 times the resolution of 1080p).

When the time comes for a new TV, it will probably be a plasma. If SED or FED TVs are out by then, I would also consider those.

Hope this answers your question.

I think it’s better to shift on LED. Are you agreed with my friends?

Q. College friends are saying to change my LCD and instead of that, I should buy LED. What can be the solution dear?

A. Get plasma, it destroys LED/LCD in picture quality easily and are cheaper. You can get a GT25 or ST30 3d HD panasonic plasma at 42 inches for 1000 bucks and make your friends jealous as hell.

Look at Cnet's reviews Google best 3DTV or HDTV of 2011 and the top 5 are plasma's. Maybe 1 LED is in 6th place but its 3 grand.

All broadcasts are in 60 hz. The whole business of 120 & 240 hz has to do with the internal functioning of the TV. Basically early LCD TVs were really bad at smearing of high speed action like sports. The 120 & 240 hz are electronic tricks to make fast action look as good on LCD TVs as it is on plasma TVs.

The digital broadcasts are a mixture of 1080i, 720p, and 480i resolution. The HDTVs take care of converting these signals to match the TV's display.

As far as picking the minimum resolution (720p vs 1080p) and refresh rate ( 60 vs 120 vs 240 hz),
consider what you are going to use the HDTV for.

Screen size & distance from the screen that you sit? Start by figuring out what size screen you want.

Big screen size, sports with fast action, or HD video games point to the need for higher resolution and hz ratings.

Many people pay extra for ratings when they can't actually see the difference on the screen. If you are watching ordinary programing on a 32" screen, there is no point in paying extra for 1080p & 120 hz.

On the other hand, if you are a sports fanatic watching a 50" screen, you will want the higher resolution and hz rating.

There are already digital broadcasts in Canada; the Aug 2011 date is when most of the old analog broadcasts will be shut off. The US and Canada use the same TV broadcast standards, so if you can scrounge a US DTV converter box to try out, it should work.

Three important things about digital antenna reception:

1. Many people find that they need a better antenna for digital reception. What constitutes a "better antenna" depends on your location. Buzz words like "HD" or "digital" on an antenna box are meaningless as far as picking a TV antenna. (In North America, all TV antennas, even 30 year old ones, are "digital".)

2. How good an ATSC tuner the TV has is important. But it is very hard to find information about which models have better tuners. The first link below is to a discussion about this. Since most people in the US have satellite or cable, manufacturers sometime cut corners on OTA tuners.

3. If you will have to adjust your antenna to pick up stations in different directions, make sure the TV's tuner has the capability to add channels without deleting old ones. There is at least one brand that doesn't have this option. Unlike analog TV tuners, digital OTA tuners have to find stations by either "scanning" or manually adding adding stations. It's a problem if your TV wipes the old channel information when you point the antenna to another city to pick up more stations!

What do you think of the brand LG when it comes to lcd hdtv's?

Q. Im looking to purchaseing a 26" LCD HDTV, but i really dont know what brand to purchase. I looked at a LG and noticed the picture quality looked pretty good. It had good color, but dont know if its a good brand over all.

A. the sd picture on your 26" will look good, maybe a little foggy. Use the S-video input for the best results. I would avoid the HD programming option on a set that small because the HD resolution doesn't really shine until a 40" screen but that's with my eyes your results may vary


What is the easiest way to go HD on new Sony LCD HDTV?
Q. We just purchased a Sony 40" HDTV LCD 1080p. We have a pioneer DVD surrond system and a phillips DVR. What is the easiest way to have this system setup in HD and what do I need to get this done. I am not sure if my DVR is HD but we just got it about 2yrs ago from Directv brand new. Thanks!

A. Try to connect your DVD to your TV using HDMI cables, and make sure your Pioneer DVD have HDMI output, and about your DVR i think you can't go HD with it.

Do you still own a CRT television, if so what is your reasoning for not getting rid of it yet?

Q. In my house we own 3 flat screen HDTV's I bought the first two and my mother bought a very expensive third, what's your reason for not switching to the HD flat screen era of TV's?

A. Yes I do. In fact, I have two houses with a total of six televisions. All of them are CRTs, and all of them still work perfectly fine. One of them I bought this past April. The tricksters at the store I bought it at tried putting the display model right under a 52 inch 1080p Sony Bravia, but with my knowledge of televisions and my own two eyes comparing it to similarly-sized LCD HDTVs in the store, I saw that it produced a picture that was no worse than the LCDs, in fact I thought it was better. And this is why:
1. LCDs do not produce contrast anywhere near the levels of CRTs. Even LED-backlit models cannot match the black level of CRT televisions.
2. The response time on LCDs is inherently slow enough that motion blur can be observed in fast-action scenes, especially models with 60 Hertz refresh rates while watching movies. No such thing has ever existed with the CRT in its 100+ year history.
3. The viewing angles of LCD displays are relatively narrow. No matter how the manufacturers try to report them, I KNOW when I'm looking at the TV from off to the side or below and the contrast is going to zero. With my CRT television placed about 4 feet to the right of my desk, I can watch TV while working at my desk, and not see incorrect colors.
4. Speaking of colors, the CRT accurately reproduces the colors, as it is not backlit by a fluorescent light producing light of inconsistent wavelengths that cannot match up with the wavelengths of light that the liquid crystals can block.

The icing on the cake? The CRT cost me about half as much as a comparably-sized LCD would have cost me. And guess what, its screen IS flat. (In general for electronics you get what you pay for, but only when comparing TVs of the same display type.)

In addition, I don't have HD programming or a Blu-Ray player, the only gaming I ever do is with a PS2 (non-HD), and I still watch a lot of DVDs and VHS tapes. Non-HD content always looks WORSE on a HDTV of fixed-pixel (non-CRT) technology because of the scaling and de-interlacing that must take place. If I need better picture quality on cable, I just switch to the digital cable channel.

Resolution is NOT as important of a spec as many people and HDTV manufacturers make it out to be. Your eye notices contrast, color, and smoothness (including fast response time) before it notices resolution. When watching constant motion video as on TV, your eye focuses on the motion and changes, the whole picture, rather than on fine details.

Finally, I would like to clear up the misconception that CRT televisions cannot be HDTVs. There were a number of 1080i CRT HDTVs made from the late '90s until about 2 years ago, from a number of brands including Sony, Samsung, RCA, Toshiba, Philips, Panasonic, and others, as well as CRT rear-projection by even more companies. You can take a 21 inch CRT computer monitor with a resolution of 1920x1440 or higher and hook up a HDTV source to a VGA transcoder, and there you have a small 1080p HDTV. And many CRT projectors could display higher than 1080p; the BarcoReality 909 could throw a resolution of 3200x2560p (almost 4 times the resolution of 1080p).

When the time comes for a new TV, it will probably be a plasma. If SED or FED TVs are out by then, I would also consider those.

Hope this answers your question.


Which display should I get to play my XBOX 360 on?
Q. Should I get me an HD LCD TV or an HD PC Monitor for playing my XBOX 360 on? I already own a 29" flatscreen CRT TV as well as a 19" widescreen LG PC Monitor, but on the one the images are too blurry and the other one is too small.

A. It depends on how much you want to pay.

How do I play my ps2 on my 52-inch Samsung LCD TV?
Q. I hoooked up my ps2 to my 52-inch Samsung LCD TV and the picture is blurry? like I'm talkin very blurry, is there some kind of setting I have to use to play ps2 clearly on the 52-inch?

A. Might be that your playing an old game with standard resolution and/or you have it connected to your TV with a mediocre (standard) video cable. You can use component cables; Sony has one for the PS2 and there is also 3rd party ones but obviously you want to go with the Sony brand. Some games support progressive scan (with component cables) and they look better than regular definition games played on a composite and/or S-video. Also some HDTV's (like LCD's and Plasma's) make your PS2 games (that do not support progressive scan) look worse than a regular TV, specially if they're bigger than 42in. This also happens with (most) regular standard/non digital channel programing (though HD channels obviously look great -also with component or HDMI cables hooked up) . DLP HDTV's don't suffer from this problem(s) but is an older, less popular technology because most DLP TV's (if not al)l are not flat (body wise not screen wise) and therefor bulkier (not to mention a lot more heavier) and consume more space and energy.
Like I said try component video cables (they have a green, blue, red, white and red connection tip) they improve the picture quality and are built for HDTV's and forget those standard composite cables (with the yellow, white and red tips) since these cables video input/output was meant for standard (non HD) TV's.

How to make computer screen fill LCD Monitor?

Q. Hello,

I have a Philips 19PFL3504D/F7 19-Inch 720p LCD HDTV hooked up to my desktop.
Unfortunately the screen doesn't fill the monitor in length at all!
I was wondering how I could make it do this without distorting image??

Also the desktop has Windows 7 if the helps any.
Thank you!

A. Change the resolution output of your video to something that conforms to HD 16:9 ratio.


what's the difference like when playing blu ray on a 720p hdtv rather than a 1080p?
Q. i have a 42" samsung 720p lcd hdtv. is it still worth getting a blu ray player?

is there a noticeable or big difference between using a 720p and 1080p when playing blu ray?

A. At that display size, there will be very little difference. The differences are much more noticeable at 50" or higher. Blu-ray is still worth it at the resolution you have though.

What computer video card do i need to run 3D on Samsung 3D HDTV 240hz?

Q. I am getting a new 55" Samsung 3D HDTV 240hz 1080p LCD-LED television very soon.

My question is what video card for my computer am I going to need to run 3D games on that TV?

The video card I am using now is a ATI Radeon HD 4850
The price needs to be within $100-$400 USD

A. Details that would help would be what operating system that you plan to run. And what other specs you have for the system that you plan on using. I see that you are currently using an ATI card, so I would assume that you would want to have an ATI replacement card. I will also assume that you have enough room around your PCI slot to fit a dual slot card. Also power supply specs come in to play as well, especially where graphics are concerned. You want 600watt supply at the bare minimum. I would strongly suggest over 800watts and above to give you room to grow later.

Now you say you plan on running 3D games. That kinda narrows your list of possible choices to the more expensive end of the spectrum. Being able to play them and being able to play them well are two different things as I'm sure you know :P.

Requirements for HD3D Be sure to check that your TV is supported on this list. Also listed are the graphics cards that I recommended below. Go for the best that you can afford.
http://www.amd.com/us/products/technologies/amd-hd3d/Pages/supported-hardware.aspx

An important note from that list is that you will also have to get additional hardware. (3D glasses and such). I couldn't find any on AMD's website. Researching further into it, it appears that AMD delegates the task of 3D hardware sourcing and compatibility to third party manufacturers. The other options force you to purchase a specific monitor and glasses.

Choices:

Radeon HD 5970 (Hemlock) 2GB $499
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102887
A bit over your price range, but well worth it. Fastest card out at the moment

Then right beneath that you have the Radeon HD 5870

Radeon HD 5870 (Cypress XT) 2GB $369
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102888

I chose that specific 5870 because of the memory. It's a 2GB card, beware of the prices there. Make sure that you are paying for the memory and not for an over clocked GPU on a 1GB card. Don't settle for less than 2GB. And don't pay for an overclocked card, any overclock that you would get is marginal and could be done for free yourself if you so choose.

Comparison chart of the two so you can see the differences and decide for yourself:
http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/162?vs=165

To stay in your price range, you would want to stay with the 5870 though.

Now with all this said... I must mention that standard refresh rate for 3D is currently 120Hz and not 240Hz.
http://www.lcdtvbuyingguide.com/lcdtv/120hz-240hz-60hz.html -- Some reading on the subject.

Overall, I'd say those two cards are your choices. And congrats on the new TV. But stick with the 2D games for now, as for 3D technology, ATI doesn't seem to be on the ball.


What is the difference between LCD, LED, and Plasma screen televisions.?
Q. I'm planning on buying a new TV soon, but there are so many display options. I don't know too much about the difference in LCD, LED, and Plasma. I know that one of them has like a light shining off the back or the side of the TV and thats the one that I don't want. Can somebody help me with this information.

A. For many years, the CRT technology was the dominant technology in television sets. However, in the past few years, there has been a significant improvement in the technology, which has seen the introduction of LCD, plasma and LED televisions. Each of these new technologies has its strong points in the method that it displays images, among other features. The features for each type of these technologies are as below.




As with most electronics, it is recommended that you first do your research before choosing a HDTV. By doing research, you can ensure you choose a quality television that you will enjoy. There are many different sites that post reviews, and reviewing what other customers have said is really important. A good example of a page is one that displays Panasonic Viera TC-P54G25 reviews. Such sites not only provides expert reviews, but more importantly, also supply customer reviews.

When researching a television, it is also important to look at the differences in the technologies. The next few section outlines the three technologies that you will find in a HDTV.

What is an LCD TV?
The acronym LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display. This technology was created to replace the CRT technology. A LCD TV is a significant improvement in the way pictures are displayed due to the mode of display involved.

LCD technology uses two major components to display, namely; Cold Cathode Florescent Lamps or CCFLs and molecules of liquid crystals. The CCFLs are used to illuminate the liquid molecules with white light, and as the light passes through, an image is created.

A LCD TV has the following advantages over a CRT TV; flat and much lighter, a higher resolution, wider viewing angle of up to 175 degrees, lower power consumption, resistant to ‘burn in’ due to static images, and are ideal for naturally lit environments. However, there are some disadvantages to this technology such as a low contrast ratio and inability to achieve true black picture quality.





What is a Plasma TV
The shortcomings of LCD TV led to the development of Plasma Display Panel, otherwise known as a plasma TV. With this technology, images are created from gases containing neon and xenon atoms.

Plasma TV technology boasts of a rich variation of colors, due to an advanced color generation feature, that is able to generate true black picture quality.

The viewing distance and angles are also wider, ranging from 160 and up to 180 degrees, which is more than what can be achieved with a LCD TV. A plasma TV also has a higher lifespan than LCD TV. The downside of this technology is that the viewing capability, especially the brightness is greatly diminished in poor lighting conditions, lower resolution, and an irreparable back light.

What will be the best LCD HDTV 1080P Black Friday Deal?

Q. I am looking to get a 42" HDTV and want the best deal for the money.

A. Sears is going to have a 40" Samsung 500 series LCD for $799, and a 46" for $1099. They are lower end, but will probably be a your best deal. The only major difference between the 500 series, and the 530 is one less HDMI input.


what is the real different between a LCD and a Plasma HDTV?
Q. I am looking to buy a new tv, around 42 inch, and i am not really sure what is the difference between this two
I am just planing on watching mostly movies on this tv, i am not a reall big fan of playing video games on it
so, which one works better for me?

A. Here are the facts:

Plasma:

Pros:
It has a much better picture for fast motion such as sports or action movies.
It has a more accurate color because it can produce a true black.
It is very durable due to a glass screen on the front of the TV.
Price per inch is cheaper than an LCD.

Cons:
That durable pane of glass can cause glare from windows or lights in the room. If you have glare on your current TV, its not going to get any better with a plasma.
Higher power consumption than LCD.

Myths:
Plasmas have short life expectancy... Incorrect, 60,000 hour life expectancy (15-20 years)
Plasmas have burn in (aka image retention)... Not an issue with most plasmas on the market and only a concern if playing video games for long periods of time.

LCD:

Pros:
LCD has a matte finish (on most, not all) which won't cause glare.
Lower power consumption than plasma.

Cons:
It doesn't handle fast action well at all. Even the new 120hz LCD's don't process action as well as a plasma.
It can't produce a true black (only a dark blue). All other colors on the screen are brightened to fool your eye into seeing a black which throws off all colors.
The screens are delicate and can be easily damaged by young children or pets.

Myths:
Life expectancy is far greater than plasma... Incorrect. Life expectancy is 80,000 hours (18-23 years).

In response to something that has high pixels. 1080p is the new buzz word in the industry, however 1080p isn't available for cable, satellite, or antenna. The only way you'll receive 1080p picture quality is to purchase a Bluray player and watch Bluray DVDs ($300-400 for the player plus $30/bluray dvd). Don't get caught up in the whole 1080p resolution. If you only watch DVDs on occasion, you're probably not going to spring for the expensive Bluray player. If you don't plan on getting the Bluray player, save your money and look at a 720p TV.

Summary:
Your basic rule of thumb is if you can control the light in the room, get a plasma, if you can't, go with an LCD. Also, don't compare TV pictures side by side as all the images are highly exaggerated. Go to your local Best Buy and ask for a calibration demo (it will blow your mind and change the way you'll pick out a TV). They can also draw out your room and recommend a TV based on your lifestyle needs. They also aren't on commission, so no pressure and they'll match almost any price.

What is the difference between a LCD-HDTV with 720p and 1080p?

Q. What is the difference between a Vizio LCD-HDTV with 720p and 1080p? I'm considering buying the 32 in with the 720p.

A. You'd have to sit 6 feet or less from your 32" TV to see the difference between 720 and 1080 in terms of resolution. See the following chart...

http://s3.carltonbale.com/resolution_chart.html


Why does my LCD HDTV have black bars on the left and right sides of the screen?
Q. I have a 32'' widescreen audiovox LCD HDTV. I also own a comcast digital cable box, which we used to view hi-def programs through component cables. We recently got a dvi cable and now sandard-def programs have black bars on the left and right of the screen. Th HD is fine,no black bars. But standard-def channels now have black bars on the left and right, but they did not before when we used component cables. Any help would be appreciated.

A. Widescreen TV's are wider than standard def TV's. You have space left over on each side when you put the shape of a standard def program on the screen. You can always stretch or zoom, but that's your preference. I would keep it as it is and see the original content the way it was meant to be viewed.

Standard-def channels have a 4:3 aspect ratio; the width is 4/3 = 1.333 times longer than the height.

High-def channels have a 16:9 aspect ratio; the width is 16/9 = 1.78 times longer than the height.

If you take a standard def image (1.33:1) and put it in a widescreen set as large as it will fit, you will have black bars on the left and right.

It used to be that all programs (movies and television) had a 4:3 apsect ratio. When television was introduced, the theatres had to have something novel to draw audiences back to the theatre. They switched to even larger aspect rations of 1.85:1 or 2.35:1 (width is 2.35 times longer than the height). Early movies like "Gone with the Wind" the original "Dracula" and even "The Wizard of Oz" were all 1.33:1 and would fit perfectly on standard def screens.

Since a lot of movies have even wider screens than HDTV's, you are going to even run into black bars on the top and bottom.

16:9 (1.78:1) is basically a compromise between standard def (1.33:1) and theater (2.35:1).

What is the difference between Plasma and Lcd tv? Which has the clearer, crisp picture? ?

Q. I am totally confused! I thought that the LCD was supposed to be the clearer one but my son bought a plasma at the same time that I bought a LCD and his picture is much more clear than mine(he has subscribed to HD cable I've yet to sign up) Is it the HD cable that makes the difference? I would really like to know the difference between the two sets.

A. Plasma vs LCD

The ADVANTAGES of Plasma over LCD are:

1. Larger screen size availability.

2. Better contrast ratio and ability to render deeper blacks.

3. Better color accuracy and saturation.

4. Better motion tracking (little or no motion lag in fast moving images).

The DISADVANTAGES of Plasma vs LCD include:

1. Plasma TVs are more susceptible to burn-in of static images.

2. Plasma TVs generate more heat than LCDs, due to the need to light of phosphors to create the images.

3. Does not perform as well at higher altitudes.

4. Shorter display life span - this used to be the case. Early Plasmas had 30,000 hours or 8 hrs of viewing a day for 9 years, which was less than LCD. However, screen life span has now improved and 60,000 hour life span rating are now common, with some sets rated as high as 100,000 hours, due to technology improvements.

LCD television ADVANTAGES over Plasma include:

1. No burn-in of static images.

2. Cooler running temperature.

3. No high altitude use issues.

4. Increased image brightness over Plasma.

5. Lighter weight (when comparing same screen sizes) than Plasma counterparts.

6. Longer display life used to be a factor, but now LCD and Plasma sets both have at least 60,000 hour or higher lifespans.

DISADVANTAGES of LCD vs Plasma televisions include:

1. Lower contrast ratio, not as good rendering deep blacks.

2. Not as good at tracking motion (fast moving objects may exhibit lag artifacts) - However, this is improving with the recent implementation of 120Hz screen refresh rates in higher-end LCD sets.

3. Not as common in large screen sizes above 42-inches as Plasma. However, the number is growing fast, with 46 and 47-inch screen sizes becoming more common, and some LCD sets having a screen size as large as 65-inches now available to the general public.

4. Although LCD televisions do not suffer from burn-in susceptibility, it is possible that individual pixels on an LCD televisions can burn out, causing small, visible, black or white dots to appear on the screen. Individual pixels cannot be repaired, the whole screen would need to be replaced at that point, if the individual pixel burnout becomes annoying to you.

5. LCD televisions are typically more expensive than equivalent-sized Plasma televisions (although this is changing), especially when comparing EDTV Plasmas to HDTV-LCD Televisions.


What is the best and cheapest Big Screen HDTV available?
Q. I'm looking for a 46" or 50" big screen TV. My budget is around $900 - $1100. I'm not to concerned with the type of TV, wether it's LCD, Plasma or Projection. Although, this new TVs main purpose is for gaming, so it must have HDMI and at least 720p. I'm also worried about latency as I've read that some newer televisions can be a little slow to display the image due to the image processing that takes place. Does anyone have any good recomendations as to a tv brand or type that fills all these criteria and is within my budget? I'm not opposed to purchasing online although I still want to stay within my budget after tax and shipping fees.

A. I do in fact have a recomendation and it's one shared by most experts in the audio/visual field. At this point in time the Hitachi f59 series is the absolute best bang for the buck available on the market, bar none. LCD? Plasma? DLP? Nope, it's got every set below $3000 covered hands down in every relevant category, be it picture quality, gaming performance or maintenance cost. The fact is that CRT is still the benchmark all others are judged by and at this point in time a High Def rear projection set such as the Hitachi offers the savvy buyer all the goodies without the hassles.

The F59 series is available in 51, 57 and 65 inch screen sizes, and as to price, well lets just say that on a good sale day you can pick up the 65 for between $1000-$1200 and the 57 for $999. Personally, I'd wait for the annual 'After the Super Bowl' sales as most retailers really offer some blowout pricing at this time, many close to those of 'Black Friday'. It was 'Black Friday' which put the 51 inch version on my doorstep at $699 shipped and I couldn't be happier with this set, heck I'd have paid full price and still considered it a steal. Yes, it really IS that good! But don't just take my word for it, take a look for youself at some of the factors which lead me to this purchase.

For instance lets look at the bulbs, or should I say lack of. ALL of the others technologies require an arc lamp bulb to provide the light source and it does a wonderful job...for about two years. 18-24 months is the average life expectancy of these bulbs under normal viewing conditions, then its time for replacement at a cost of $200. Average that out over the ten plus years you'll watch your typical CRT rear projection set like the Hitachi with ZERO bulbs and you'll see just what the latest 'High Tech' is really worth.

As you're a gamer this is the best choice once again due to a few things, the foremost being response time. CRT doesn't have to measure pixel response in milliseconds because there are none, thus instant and true image representaion is there 24/7/365. This is critical when playing first person shooters such as Halo on Xbox Live as the lag associated with the other technologies allows the slightest bit of lag. Sure, a 10ms lag doesn't seem like much but it is the difference in that hitting and missing those vital split second shots, the difference between tea bagging an downed opponent or cursing yourself blue over why your 'dead on' head shot failed to take out the bad guy. Of course the fact you require an HDMI port tells me you're of the PS3 persuasion but this set does indeed have and support HDMI so that's another base covered. Oh, and screen 'Burn In' isn't really an issue either anymore so than any other set, in fact less if proper caution such as not leaving ANYTHING paused for extended periods of time are taken.

Now as far as movie watching goes I certainly hope you have access to a lot of DVDs because viewing them on this set is more addictive than heroin or internet porn. My personal collection grows by the week now, even movies I've seen a million times gain new life on this set. And as for cable, well I have digital cable and see NO reason to upgrade to HD because the Standard def stations would remain the same and the combo of digital and this TV make you swear you were watching true High Def when tuned to any of the Discovery Network channels.

I'll not even go into the realm of picture quality, suffice to say 1080i with the true blacks and true color representation only CRT can deliver is still king of the hill despite every attempt to knock it off. So go ahead and pull the trigger on one of these bad boys, I promise, you'll not be dissapointed in any way, shape or form. Good luck and happy viewing
