How can you replace a broken LCD screen in a Sylvania LC427SSX 42-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV?

Q. My sister in law left a broken Sylvania LC427SSX 42-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV. I looked online but I can't seem to find any place where I can find just the screen for replacement. Does anyone know where I can buy just the screen or how to fix it?

A. you need SKILLS and tools to replace the LCD DISPLAY PANEL.
However , if you known the PARTS COST , you will never want to replace it, and buy an new TV for sure.
New LCD display panel cost about 65 % of same screen size of new TV. + shipping and services charge to replace the panel . total is around 80 + % of new LCD TV.
will you still want to buy the display panel ?

Original Question

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.

Original Question

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. most won't tell the difference for 1080p until you get over a certain size and distance from the screen.

Most would agree that 1080p after 46" starts to be a "must have". your under that so it really depends on your player and tv set.

don't listen to the guy talking about hdmi being the only way to get HD. I use component just fine for my ps3 and other blu ray players. I don't even have a 1080p set but I prefer my "tweaked avia set" over those over blown contrast sets you get these days. It's all preference.

I run mine at 1080i and 720p.

Hdmi is by far the cheapest way to go since it's one cable and you don't have to worry about shielding as much as a component cable.

There is a difference from HD over cable/sat, Over the Air (OTA), and blu ray/ HD dvd. Watch the bit rate stream. PS3 lets you watch it as it is playing. Cable/Sat is capped and OTA is generally better if you have a good signal since it's not as compressed.

Original Question

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.

Original Question

How Do You Clean a LCD TV And, Or Monitor Screens?

Q. I used the cleaning wipes that came with my LCD LED HD 3D monitor but it keeps leaving big streaks. i used it on my LCD HDTV and it did the same. So Please tell me how, and what do you clean them with, without leaving ugly streaks?

Both are Samsung brands if that matters.

A. Use Microfiber.

Don't press hard. This can cause damage.

Possible use of 50/50 distilled water and vinegar.

Original Question

How wide is a 55" flat screen tv?

Q. Also, who makes the best LED LCD? I've heard Samsung is good with the exception of the sound quality.

A. Samsung Series 9 or Series LED
Sony XBR 8 or XBR 10
LG LH90 or SL90

All of those series of LCDs rank very well. I think you'd be in good shape with any of them. If you are not happy with the Samsung sound quality, check out the Sony or LG models and see if either of those are up to your satisfaction.

You could also check out Sharp. I think they do make an LED LCD. I just can't recall the series off the top of my head.

As for the TV size, a little grade school pythagarous can solve that...

TV diagonal is 55". HDTV is a ratio of 16:9.

(16x)^2 + (9x)^2 = 55^2
256x^2 + 81x^2 = 55^2
337x^2 = 55^2
18.357x = 55
x = 2.996

16 x 2.996 = 47.936
9 x 2.996 = 26.964

So the 55" HDTV would measure basically 48" x 27".

Original Question

best 52 or 55 inch tv for sports in regular definition?

Q. I have a 42 inch LG lcd tv and sports that arent in HD especially hockey look terrible.I am looking for the a 52 or 55 inch that doesnt look terrible when watching sports in regular def.Im not sure if LCD or LED-LCD is better.

A. LED will provide you better picture quality than LCD, deeper black.
Good brand and model that I would recommend is Samsung UN55C6500 55-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED HDTV
http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FTVs-Televisions-Audio-Video%2Fb%3Fie%3DUTF8%26node%3D979929011%26ref_%3Dsv_e_3&tag=computer0bd-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957

or another good choice if you want for sport, not for gaming is Plasma. Plasma will provide you faster response, smoother motion which good for action sports. Panasonic or Samsung are good brand to get.

Original Question

What would be an average sizes plasma or lcd tv for a master bedroom?

Q. We are looking at either 32, 37 or 42 inch plasma or lcd tv's. Normally we watch tv at night so which type of tv would have a better picture quality at night. Can anyone recommend some good models?

A. Plasmas are better for night viewing than LCDs.

The size to get depends on the viewing distance and the programming types. If you are going to be watching mostly HDTV programming, you can be as close as 2 times the screen measurement away (so, for a 42-incher, you don't want it any closer than 7 feet away from your viewing spot).

If you watch a lot of standard definition, you probably want a smaller screen or want to have it a bit further back, so that it is at least 2.5 or 3 times the screen dimension away.

Plasmas generally don't come any smaller than 42 inches. If 42 inches is right for you, among the top choices among reviewers right now are the Samsung HPT4254 / 4264 and the Panasonic 42px75 / px77. Check reviews at CNET below.

Good luck.

Original Question

What is the best way to conenct these audio components?

Q. I just bought an intro home theater system. It includes an LG 32" LCD HDTV with HDMI, a Yamaha HTR-5840 6.1 surround receiver, two Klipsch Synergy F-1 speakers, and a Sony DVP-NS70H DVD/CD player with HDMI.

In order to get the BEST quality out of this combination, how should I connect everything?

I currently have the HDMI from the TV to the DVD directly since the receiver doesn't do HDMI. I then have a coax from the DVD to the receiver, and a fiber from the TV to the receiver.

1. Is this going to give me the best possible sound for what I have right now, or should I reconfigure it a bit?

2. Is fiber or coax better?

3. When I turn on my DVD and receiver to play a CD, I also have to turn on the TV. When I turn on the TV though, it doesn't see the DVD player until I force the menu to choose HDMI as a primary output. Is there any way to make the DVD visible to the TV by default?

A. Whenever in doubt, keep things digital for as long as possible by using Digital I/Os. It appears that you are already doing that. If this is the case, then you should be getting the best signal reproduction that your receiver can deliver!

Keeping things digital for as long as possible, decreases the chances of Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI) and eliminates the effect of this interference, which in the end, provides you a window of opportunity to maybe not buy the "Highest Quality" interconnect cable. Simply, 1s and 0s are 1s and 0s that all represent amplitude and frequency. Truly, how would you lose any signal, using 1s and 0s to represent that signal? Without signal loss, then the most accurate reproduction of the source material is practically guaranteed (of course, limited by the capabilities of your receiver). Of course signal loss is a product of using metal based conductors (such as with coaxial connections as opposed to the light-based operation of fiber-optic technology), but unless you plan on having your source equipment in one state and your receiver in another, this provides no further complication in having to purchase Monster Cable digital interconnectors,

Another thing, start saving now for a new receiver! Although Yamaha will always be remembered by me as my first receiver manufacturer once I began seeking high-quality equipment, their quality has decreased with their insistence on providing more budget oriented receicers. Although I would unwaiveringly purchase a Yamaha budget over one made by Sony, Kenwood, Pioneer, or Panasonic, there are more capable receivers that are more accurate by other less well known manufacturers such as Denon and Harman/Kardon. Attempt to get a receiver with the highest quality Burr-Brown Digital-to-Analog conversion. High quality DACs are your final chance at getting the best sound quality from your system! Look around the net (visit manufacturers' websites and such) until you find the receiver that melts your heart! Upon finding that "magic-receiver," search online retailers to discover the least expensive manner in which you can obtain it.

Truly, the most important pieces of your sound system come before the loudspeakers! In reality, the best DVD Player with comparable quality digital signal interpretation to maintain signal integrity is most appropriate! Read reviews of source equipment published in Home THeater focused magazines such as "Home Theater Magazine" and "Sound and Vision Magazine" (which was formerly known as "Stereo Review").

You deserve it!

Especially with those Klipsches! The fact that Klipsch generally produces highly efficient loudspeakers, receiver power requirements can be scaled back a little to get a higher quality (build-wise) receiver to bring out the ambience and presence of the Klipsches! Although I do not personally own any Klipsch loudspeakers, I have yet to be let down by any Klipsch based listening session.

With that said about the in-store listening sessions hardly ever being letdowns, I don't see any reasonable explanation as to why you should be let down in your own home.

...

Regarding your other questions, you should really examine your DVD Player's manual to see if you can set HDMI as the default output method, that way, you won't have to "force" it everytime... There's no reason to have any other output as the default since you are using specifically the HDMI interconnection to deliver the digital video information.

Finally, with the question of which digital interconnection is better between coaxial and fiber-optic, remember that the chance of signal loss is far less with fiber-optic connections, because light can travel much farther through a tube than an electrical pulse through a metal conductor. In the end, again, if money is the issue, coaxial connections use the same RCA cable that your analog devices have used over the years.

Using fiber-optic based installation prevents corrosion, for there is no metal connector that can corrode. However, again, be advised that there is no direct quality improvement by using fiber-optic interconnection for your device as opposed to coaxial, for a 1 is a 1--whether it is being transferred over coaxial or fiber-optic cable.

I would say to use the coaxial I/O to save money initially, but look forward to making use of the fiber-optic connection as time moves forward or if you're thinking of permanently installing the receiver in a particular location.

Hope that helps!

Happy listening!

What is the difference between LCD and LED television set? Which one has beeter quality and options?

Q. I need to change my TV and want to have more information about LCD and LED considering the difference between them. I really need to know which one has a better quality and more options.

A. I would definitely NOT recommend "buying the TV that looks best for you" because in most stores the lighting is so unlike what you're seeing at home and it makes the sets with great black level details like the Panasonic Viera plasma's, look not so different from the severaly underperforming in house brands like Insignia, Dynex, etc.

The best sets on the market are still plasma's and at those prices it's not surprising.

http://hdguru.com/the-new-king-of-hdtv-displays-panasonics-tc-p54v10-reviewed/458/

Some of the new LED sets are not true LED sets like the Sony XBR8 and Samsung 950 series. However despite the great blacks, motion reoslution and ANSI ratings these sets have they still suffer a LOT with viewing angle and blacks get washed out quickly.

Original Question

How do I connect a game console to a Vizio M261VP LED LCD HDTV?

Q. I recently got a Vizio M261VP LED LCD HDTV and when I connect my PS3 with the HDMI cable, it looks beautiful. But, when I try to connect my PS2 with the normal colored cables (yellow, red and white) the audio works but the video looks mainly blue. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

A. Video actually is made up of 3 primary colors (red, green, blue) which combines to create all the shades in between. So if you can see it, your yellow cable is working. The problem is the encoder in your PS3 that combines the RGB into a single video cable. You can't fix the PS3, but you can adjust the video on your TV with the Hue control. Just remember that it affects all yellow cable inputs, so other programs may need to be adjusted back.

Can LCD HDTV bought in US be used in Singapore or Malaysia?

Q. Thinking of buying a 32 or 37 in Samsung or others LCD HDTV in USA and taking it back to my Mum in Singapore, can this be used there if the power input is universal? I know in Singapore it is PAL but isn't there a setting in menu for either NTSC or Pal, by switching it over n will it work?

A. I don't think so. The actual electricity power may be different and the number of "cycles" per second, never mind the shape of the plug. Also there would be no warranty. Better you just buy her one when you get to Singapore.

What TV would be best for my grandma?

Q. I have a 76 year old grandma whos TV just broke. It was an old Zenith 25 inch. It was kinda fuzzy. But she has eye problems. She lives in an apartment building with a roof antenna. So we bought her a Westinghouse 26 ince HDTV LCD. It has a built in HD tuner so we could get the HD channels. We live in the chicago area so the channels we get are 2, 5, 7, 9, 32. The only thing she doesn't like is that you have to enter for example 32.1 to get the channel 32 HD. Otherwise it's fuzzy. She also wanted something bigger. No bigger that 32 inch. Her price range is under 600. PLEASE HELP. IT'S AN EMERGENCY.

A. You're not going to find a 32" true HDTV for under $600 that isn't junk.

When i watch tv from below the screen looks black?

Q. I have a memorex 19 inch plasma not lcd. If i watch tv straight it looks fine but when I watch from below there is a lot of dark areas. Do I go to the settings and fix it? Should i buy a new lcd? My parents also have a Vizio 26 inch lcd hdtv and also looks black from below what should I do? How do I know when a tv doesnt have dark areas, what is it called?

A. Because you have an LCD, and NOT a plasma. First of all, Memorex does not make, nor have they ever made, plasma TVs. Second, plasmas have wide viewing angles like the flat-screen variants of their CRT cousins, so there's no contrast fade from watching off-axis. Third, no plasmas were sold for the consumer market smaller than 32", and nowadays they only come in 42" and up.
LCDs tend to have narrow viewing angles, especially vertically. Meaning that when you look at it from way off to the side or particularly from below, the colors may not appear correctly, and the contrast will be awful to say the least, to the point of being unwatchable.
Possible solutions:
1. Watch the TV directly facing it; sit/stand right in front of it at about eye level.
2. Re-position the TV.
3. Buy a plasma TV.
4. Use a CRT TV.

I want to know by Feb. 17, 2009 will my tv still work.?

Q. I have this kind of tv Sony FDL-250T Watchman Portable Color LCD TV, Silver.

http://www.amazon.com/Sony-FDL-250T-Watchman-Portable-Silver/dp/B00005I9QP

A. Most likely not in the U.S. That model has been around for many years and probably does not have the ATSC tuner that will be necessary after Feb. 17th.

That's only a guess from looking at the specs I could find on-line, but the fact that it has reviews dated in 2001 makes me think it's not going to survive the digital transition.

It would be usable in Canada, since they're not doing the digital conversion until August 2011.

Original Question

Samsung midrange 2011 LED TVs vs Panasonic midrange 2011 Plasma TVs ?

A. Panasonic, Plasma HDTVs have the lowest MTBF(mean time between failures). They also are cheaper when we're talking about 42"-46" screens and up vs. LCD screens in this size range.
Off the top of my head, they produce better black levels, color quality, and off-axis viewing.

Checkout this direct link to not just Panasonic plasmas, but also a handful or two of other makers, to eliminate bias towards just Panasonic's lineup of their plasmas.

Original Question

Just purchased a Samsung LN-T4066F tv and wondering if anyone knows the ideal calibration settings for it?

Q. I purchased the tv from Best Buy yesterday with the Blu-Ray player and they told me for the BestBuy tech team to calibrate it would cost me another $300! Wondering if anyone has the same tv who has had this calibrated by them or found the ideal calibration setting online?

A. Most of todayâ��s better quality modern fixed-pixel displays, such as Samsungâ��s HD TVs, have specific modes and/or settings that provide (very) good gray-scale and CIE â��D65â�� color performance out of the box, better than the displays manufacturerâ��s offered to consumers not too long ago. The optimal settings will always vary from one display to another and will equally vary depending on your viewing environment; the best you will be able to do without using measurement equipment is to get your settings â��into the ballpark.â��

When it comes to normal color vision, unless you have some sort of side-by-side visual reference for color accuracy, such as a high quality, professionally calibrated display or a calibrated (color critical) â��reference gradeâ�� professional monitor, then, like the vast majority of people, it is very difficult for an average observer to tell if the color or white balance is incorrect. This is particularly true if you take a little time to optimize your display settings for your specific viewing conditions.

The ultimate solution would be a professional calibration of your display; however this is frequently beyond the need and/or budget of the substantial majority of consumers, particularly if oneâ��s viewing habit is more casual than critical. (Should you ever decide that you need or want a â��professionalâ�� calibration, rather than utilizing Best Buyâ��s Geek Squad service, I believe you would be better served by hiring a knowledgeable, independent, professional calibration expert that has abundant experience; Iâ��ve provided a few links below.)

One cost-effective alternative to a professional calibration is to purchase your own colorimeter, such as the inexpensive models (often less than the cost of a typical professional calibration,) from GretagMacbeth, Datacolor, etc., and learn to calibrate your own display(s).

Regardless, you should rent or purchase one of the display optimization (aka â��calibrationâ��) DVDs such as â��Aviaâ�� from Ovation Multimedia or â��Digital Video Essentialsâ�� from Joe Kane Productions to properly optimize and maintain your display.
________________________

Below Iâ��ve provided the majority of the picture settings needed for the do-it-yourselfer to get the picture fidelity for Samsungâ��s 6xF Series of LCD HDTVs (including your Samsung LN-T4066F display) in the ballpark. These settings should be used for ALL viewing particularly if color accuracy is valued.

Using either HDMI or analog component video inputs...

First, in the Picture menu set your Samsung display to â��Movieâ�� mode. Again, you should use this â��Automatic Picture Settingâ�� for all viewing.

The backlight setting should be preferably set to 0â�¦, and no higher than 4. This is essential if you wish to maximize the contrast ratio of your display.

Aside from using either of the recommended display optimization DVDs try the following picture settings.

Â Â Â â�¢ Contrast: 85-95
Â Â Â â�¢ Brightness: 45-55
Â Â Â â�¢ Sharpness: 0-20
Â Â Â â�¢ Color: 50-55
Â Â Â â�¢ Tint: 0

Detailed Settings Menu
Â Â Â â�¢ Black Adjust: Off
Â Â Â â�¢ Dynamic Contrast: Off
Â Â Â â�¢ Gamma: between 1 and -3 (Note: the MEASURED gamma value for a â��Rec.709â�� compliant HD display should be as close as possible to 2.5)
Â Â Â â�¢ Color Space: Auto
Â Â Â â�¢ White Balance: (Itâ��s probably best if you leave these settings in their default, centered position unless you have access to a measurement instrument to assist you in setting the proper white balance.)
Â Â Â â�¢ My Color Control: All should be set to the default of 15
Â Â Â â�¢ Edge Enhancement: On (only if Sharpness is kept to an absolute minimum of 20 or less, otherwise set to Off)
Â Â Â â�¢ xvYCC: Off
Â Â Â â�¢ Film Mode: On (for 480i film-based sources only)
Â Â Â â�¢ Game mode: Off
Â Â Â â�¢ Energy Saving: Off

Â Â Â â�¢ Color Tone should be set to â��Warm2â��
Â Â Â â�¢ Digital NR should be set to â��Offâ��

Active Color and DNIe are not available in Movie Mode.

Under Screen Size the â��aspect ratio controlâ�� should always be set to â��Just Scanâ��

A. in tv go to in put source selection.select vga in put mode.

Original Question

What should I know about getting an HDTV?

Q. Im in the direction of getting a 1080p LCD HDTV. However, I am still deciding. What do I need to know? Consider I am keeping my standard definition DVD player and PlayStation 2.

A. Unless you have some sort of HD channel coming in, the tv is worthless, save its size. Watching regular cable tv on my 65" makes it look like trash. And since nearly EVERY thing that is in "1080p" is actually 720 upscaled, you can probably save some cash by going for that instead. Yes, even xbox and ps3 gamers are almost all entirely in 720.

Edit:

The crazy idiot below me listed four, when he said there were 3! LED and LCD are COMPLETELY different. One is liquid crystal, the other is LED light. Duh...... He also forgot about DLP projection. Don't let the media or anyone else lie to you. DLP looks every bit as good as LCD or Plasma, but you will notice a difference between any TV we have listed yet, and the new OLED and Laser tvs. Mitsubishi is the only company to make laser tvs yet, and from what I have heard, the picture is amazing. Oh, and he said LCD doesn't use alot of electricity? Thats garbage. They put off a ton of heat, which means they use more than most types of tvs.

Ups and downs for each type of TV

LCD
pro: Flat, good picture, and decent colors, getting cheaper
con: eats electricity, creates ALOT of heat, heavy. older models are 60-120 hrtz

Plasma
pro: Good color representation for the most part, clear picture, flat, can be heavy. usually more than 120 hrtz.
con: terrible black color, high possibility for image burn on most models, cost, can be heavy.

DLP
pro: comes in largest size of any tv out there, great color, including black, good picture, wont image burn for a long time, doesn't eat electricity
con:heavy and bulky if you get a larger one, not flat, bulbs do burn out after a year or more, sometimes price, older models cheaper. Most are 60-120 hrtz, with newer models 120+

LED
pro:crystal clear color and picture, amazing lifespan, FAST refresh rate
con: cost

Laser
pro:color and image quality are the best you can buy, larger screen, fast refresh rate.
con: COST!($7000) might be too big and heavy depending on the size you get.

No matter what you get you are making some trade-offs. I have a DLP, and I love it. Its a 65" Mitsubishi. I was going to get the 73", but getting the deal I did, I couldn't pass it up. I play my Xbox on it, and had high definition cable through Comcast, and it looked amazing.

Original Question

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.

What is the best type of TV for PS3 gaming?

Q. What is the best TYPE of TV
LCD
HDTV
PLASMA
(or any other things you would like to point out)

A. Before I answer I would just like to clarify something. I find your second option quite funny as HDTV is not exactly a type of TV but rather a category of tv's that fit in if they exceed 720 resolution :) Just thought i'd clarify this. 1080p is currently the highest resolution found in consumer TV's and is also considered an HDTV. Currently, LCD and plasma are the major 2 tv types being sold in the markets.

I answered this exact same question a little while ago on answers, so I will repost what I said:

To answer your question directly - the answer is LCD for gaming as you would not have to worry about image burn-in that plagues many plasma displays. Static images such as health bars, maps, etc. that are all visible in video games, when displayed on plasmas for long periods of times (ie. many hours per week) could cause potential burning-in the screen for the future. This is still a problem for modern plasmas although the effects were much more visible in earlier editions of plasma displays.

The advantage to plasma however is that they have deeper or real black levels. With LCDs, the blacks are artificial and on many of the cheaper LCD sets, the black levels will look slightly washed out or grey.

I have a ps3 and use an LCD if that has any extra value. I simply enjoy the fact that I don`t have to worry about screen burn-in every time I turn on the TV even though many of the modern plasmas take a lot of usage in order for this to happen. It`s just a peace of mind I guess.

EDIT: I'd just like to clarify somethinig that another poster mentioned as it is major misinformation. LCD tv's that have 1080p resolution are not the best quality tv's. This is absolutely not true. There are 1080p resolution plasmas as well and with the deepened black levels I mentioned above, the plasmas would in fact have the better image quality. This is the major reason why people in fact buy plasmas, otherwise, why would someone buy something inferior to LCD in image quality and also risk image burn-in? However, some LCD tv's just recently (i.e. samsung 9 series) have LED backlighting which allows black levels to come very close to those of plasmas. However, the best image quality in a TV at the moment for the general consumer market is the Pioneer kuro elite model plasmas.

Just thought i'd clear up some information here as some people will get the wrong impression from the above post.

Original Question

What is the difference between an LCD tv and a plasma?Which is the better buy?

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 Iâ��ve provide a link below.

Â Â Â Â Â Plasma vs. LCD Technology
Â Â Â Â Â http://docs.google.com/View?id=dhpmqnbb_13d5pfk3fx

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 Panasonicâ��s (PZ800 Series) PDPs andâ��to a somewhat lesser extentâ��Samsungâ��s (650 Series) PDPs as well as VIZIOâ��s new VP505XVT if youâ��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 watchâ��or plan on watchingâ��a moderate amount of SD video material,) be sure to thoroughly test the TVs in which youâ��re interested using a wide variety of source materials, especially average quality non-upscaled, non-HD source material, (as well as Silicon Optixâ��s HQV Benchmark discs, if possible,) input directly into each of the TVâ��s video inputs that you plan on using. Doing so should help you quickly assess the TVâ��s video and image processing performance as well as the TVâ��s ability to provide such video and image processing without incurring noticeable lip-sync error.

Original Question

How much improvement will i see getting 720p tv vs my old huge fat big screen?

Q. I'll be trying to purchase my first flat screen in the upcoming weeks. I can only afford one thats 720p and not the 1080 pixel. I'm trying to guesstimate how much of an improvement it will be, as i will mostly use for watching blue rays and playing my ps3. I'll be getting an HDMI cable as well. The big old big screen i have is Hitatchi, and is 60 inches

A. I bought a 720p plasma as my first hdtv and now have 2 ps3s , ones attached to that tv and another to a 1080p lcd . I honestly like the plasma picture better , less pixelization on the older ps1 games , brighter colors and better response time means no lag between button press and action ( I sometimes get that on the lcd )
plus most games are actually only 720p anyway .
get the 720p and enjoy it whatever type it is
btw ' a plasma has a screen life of 100,000 hours ( 37 years ) so whoever says they burn out fast is wrong - the very first ones did but the technology is nearly perfected now

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

Original Question

What is the best picture clarity setting for my 32" vizio LCD HDTV?

Q. I need to know the best setting for the picture Quality, so that its not fuzzy and i need the best color settings. i have a vizo 32" LCD HDTV. i want it too look like the picture Quality at the store like best buy.

A. Make sure you are tuned to an HDTV station..?? Are you on a cable box with HD?? Satellite?? ON my cable box, the normal channel 4 is like the old analog.. Channel 404 is in HD.. (Different in other areas.) Check with your cable provider. I also like to run the Sharpness in the 'Picture' options rather high. Part of your Menu settings... Most sets are pretty well set up when sold in a default condition..

Original Question

Is there a LCD monitor which can connect to a PS2?

Q. I need to buy an LCD monitor, preferably 21 inch or 22 inch which has connectors for PS2 and preferably PS3 also (though the latter is not important).
I already have a Z-5500 speakers which are said to be the best in pc speakers, I also would like to get an LCD monitor which will make it really cool to play games on with my PS2.
Thanks.

A. i recommend Samsung Touch Of Color T220HD 22-inch LCD HDTV Monitor.
Touch of Color bezel - While the crystal-like bezel frame catches light beautifully, it actually reduces reflection of light off the bezel. And since the rich red color is injection molded for a blown glass effect, instead of spray painted, there is less environmental impact. It's easy on your eyes as well as on the environment
Dolby Digital Surround (3 W x 2 ch) An invisible speaker system with Dolby Digital Surround (3 W x 2 ch) gives sound quality to match the impressive picture.
10,000 - 1 Dynamic-Contrast Ratio - The ultra-wide range gives you blacks and whites that are full of detail, even under adverse lighting conditions (typically 1,000 - 1 static-contrast ratio)
300 cdm2 Brightness
Full HDTV monitor - The T220HD features a built-in full HD 1080p digital HDTV tuner, so you can watch both TV and HDTVDual HDMI inputs, DVI and VGA inputs / 2 HDMI connections

List Price: $679.00
Amazon Sell Price: $332.99 free shipping

How do I set up my tv so my wii screen fits the whole screen?

Q. I have a 40" lcd hdtv. When I hook up my wii to it, it doesn't fill up the whole screen, only about 3/4 of it, with 2 vertical black stripes at each end of the screen. I've tried the wii widescreen settings to no avail, and i've played around with my tv settings as well but no luck.

A. See if there's a "Screen" button on your TV remote control.If there is press it until you reach the sreen size you want.

Original Question

Will the game slows down if I connect my computer to a 37 inch hdtv?

Q. I have a very good gaming video card and 2 gb of ram. Anyways my computer is already connected with 22 inch hdtv. And i want to disconnect it and connect to my other T.V which is 40 inch hdtv. If i play games with that 37 inch hdtv. Will my games slow down? How much would it affect it? Will it be good enough to play games?

A. That depends partly on how good the 40" HDTV is. The larger the screen size the higher the refresh rate you want. The standard refresh rate for LCD screens is 60Hz. If the other HDTV you have is 120Hz, or even 240Hz, then it should be alright. Also, if it has a Gaming Mode, then that will help reduce any "stuttering" so you don't have any delayed reaction between joystick and game movement.

Can you help me hook my speaker system up to my new LG HDTV.?

Q. Originally had a 22 inch LG lcd hdtv and had the logitech x-240 speaker system hooked up to it and it worked fine. I just bought the LG 37lg30 hdtv. It is a 37 inch lcd hdtv. My logitech speakers won't work with them. Before, i just plugged the speakers into the headphone jack and when i do this with the new tv they won't project any sound.

A. First step: make sure the headphone jack on the new TV actually works. Plug in some headphones and see if you get some sound. Second step: make sure your speakers still work. Plug them into something else and check them. That should narrow it down.

A. for 32" I would recommend Panasonic Plasma TV. But if you are looking to go for bigger TVs LCD or LED will do fine.
for 32" TVs 60Hz to 120Hz will be fine. But make sure to get minimum 60 Hz.

Also make sure to research on TV prices. Some stores have crazy price tags for TVs.

Is the 2 Year Protection Plan from Best Buy a ripoff?

Q. Just recently bought a Dynex led hdtv for my girlfriend's birthday. But i heard that dynex tvs aren't reliable and are more prone to breaking. Should I go back to the store and get a 2 year protection plan for it? I don't have enough money to buy a more expensive tv so that's not an option for me.

A. All three answers are way off base. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Dynex%26%23153%3B+-+55%22+Class+/+LCD+/+1080p+/+120Hz+/+HDTV/1437844.p?id=1218259335717&skuId=1437844 to start. Look at the reviews. Dynex breaks no more or less than Sony, Samsung, Panasonic. I bought this one: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Dynex%26%23153%3B+-+46%22+Class+/+1080p+/+60Hz+/+LCD+HDTV/9605116.p;jsessionid=5357B88A1FCCC2EAD7A2A0ACCEE9DDDA.bbolsp-app03-23?id=1218131141989&skuId=9605116 I guess over 200 people each case are what? Idiots? Go ahead and spend the extra money to get a name brand say an extra $500. And? Extended warranty? Oh hell yes. On any brand not just because it's a Dynex. A 32" CRT set was $700-$1200. A 32" LDC $350. Something had to give, quality. If you get 5-7 years, any set, you did good. My 46" has a $1200 Samsung LCD panel. I paid $500 for the set. If the panel breaks am I going to spend $1200? No. Let the extended warranty pay for it. To the other 3 answers, I guess car insurance is a joke too? Protect your investment.

Original Question

What is the Samsung Touch of Color on the LCD TVs?

Q. I have the Samsung LN55C630 Series 6 55" Class ToC LCD 1080P HDTV but I don't notice the touch of color working. I read on a forum that it needs more light to work so I turned on more light but I still don't see it. Does it work only with sunlight reflections and is the Touch of Color a actual light or LED or just a special built in reflector?

A. "Touch of Color" just means that the TV has a reddish tinge on the unit. It is not a back-light, it is simply the color of the unit. And the red part is only about a quarter inch thick at the bottom of the unit just under the screen.

You will only notice it if light it directly on it, to see it just point a flashlight directly at the bottom of the unit. Take a look at this Tv http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31mvqA0KEUL.jpg It's a different model but its the same idea, there is a reddish tinge of color at the bottom of the unit.

Original Question

Senin, 24 Juni 2013

What is the difference between CRT, DLP and LCD projection and what should I buy for best quality/value?

Q. I am looking to spend around $1000-$2000

A. LCD flatscreens are a lot lighter than Plasma TVs which weigh over a 100 lbs. Nevertheless, LCD flatscreens may have limited viewing angles and can suffer from dead pixels. While Plasma TVs are very suspectible to ghosting which is the result of having a fixed image inadvertently left on the screen for a long period of time. This fixed image will literally remain as a ghost image backgrounded to the screen. Usually the solution is to install a floating screen savers which is activated when the screen is not active.

And then there are rear projection LCD's and DLP's which use mirror panels and color wheels to filter and project a very large screen image [ranging from 65" to 72" diagonally measured]. The major concern is replacement cost of lamps which usually cost between $200 - $300 and last any number of hours depending on how the TV is shut off. Failing to properly shut down either LCD or DLP units which involves leaving on the main fan running for some 20 minutes -- will result in early failure of projection lamps. And there's the added concern regarding the use of "organic" material which make up the LCD panels/mirrors and usually causes the blue panel to fade over a period of time. So you may have to look forward to purchasing a new LCD projection TV. But getting back to DLP projection TV, there is the issue of viewers seeing the dreaded "rainbow effect" which are color flashes appear in highly contrasty dark scenes. Their sighting can cause headaches and is quite annoying to the viewers. And a possible cure is to choose a color wheel which operates faster than 3X; say 4X which seems to be the threshold speed that virtually eliminates the rainbow effect.

And finally, we should also consider the "ultimate, best" TV technology: "Front Projection."

You may well want to check out another technology: DLP front projection which produces a movie-like experience of HD television, DVDs, videos and games. And according to Consumer Reports, "front projection has a superior image -- better than CRT's, LCDs or plasma."

Check out the reviews for a "92" DLP generated [front projection] TV image at amazon.com by submitting the search query: "Infocus SP4805." There are any number of customer submitted pictures of projected HDTV image(s) along with other high-quality regular DVD-movie images projected on bare white wall surfaces. And the price for a refurbished ScreenPlay 4805 is about $550 with lamps costing around $330 which will last around 4,000 hours. Also check out various reviews at Consumer Reports [November 2005 & December 2006] in which front projection is rated "superior" to plasma, lcd.

Good luck!

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.

What's the difference between Plasma and LCD?

Q. I'm purchasing a 52" television and i'm wondering what the difference is between a Plasma and and LCD HDTV. How is the picture? The LCD's are more expensive.

A. plasma is used when there is alot of LIGHT in the room. LCD in less light to no light rooms. LCD has a bulb to be easly replaced .Plasma no bulb. LCD Weighs less beacuse it does not need a thick peice of glass. You could go BIGGER for the same price with a DLP lcd for the price of a 50inch you get a 62-65 inch. Choose what you want by the Light in the room. buy a 1080P not i and a nice blueray player to get the best quality movie pic out.

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.
