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.


How much better is the HDMI cable for Xbox 360 better than the regular component cables?
Q. I'm not sure if i want to spend the money on that cable.
Is it still worth it if i need to buy a converter? because i have the older xbox 360 without the HDMI port.

A. it's not really WORTH IT if that's what you're asking.

there is little difference that people will notice between hdmi and component cables - i've seen both. i have component on my nice 60" rear-projection hdtv and i've seen hdmi on my friend's nice 55" plasma or LCD hdtv.

The difference is fairly negligible and the price you pay for an hdmi cable these days is a bit ridiculous (markups are crazy high - i know cuz my friend worked at best buy and could buy his hdmi cables for ten bucks!)

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.

How to find out if my tv is LCD or Plasma?

Q. So I bought this TV 42' SONY KDL-42EX44X. All my friends now asking me what is this LCD or PLASMA and i have no idea my self what is this.

A. It is an LED edge lit LCD HDTV. Sony hasn't made plasma display units for many years now.

http://www.amazon.com/Sony-BRAVIA-KDL42EX440-42-Inch-1080p/dp/B008KECFRO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1355765609&sr=8-1&keywords=sony+kdl42ex440


What is the best kind/brand of HDtv on the market?
Q. Im looking to buy a new tv and was wondering what the best kind of HD tv is in regards to plasma or lcd, pixel count, the Hz value, etc. (regardless of cost). And also i wanted to know what the best brand of tv is in yall's opinion

A. TV size matters first and foremost. If you are doing 37" or smaller, then you want to go LCD. You don't notice the advantages of Plasma in smaller TVs (hence why the big time Plasma brands don't make smaller sized sets). If you break 40", and moreso if you break 50", you want to go Plasma for all of its advantages.

Same goes for the other major 'tech specs' out there. 1080p vs 720p, 720p is fine in 37" or smaller (and from friends' purchases, even 42"). For 120Hz/240Hz vs 60Hz, 60Hz is fine in 37" and smaller. But as you break 40", I would lean towards 120Hz if you can afford it. And LED LCD vs CCFL LCD, its night and day for LED. If you want LCD over Plasma, and want a TV over 40", I would jump to LED quick (but be ready to pay through the nose for it).

LCD is inherently flawed at fast motion playback. It suffers from motion blur (ghost trails). Manufacturers compensate for this with 120Hz/240Hz refresh rates. This helps in a big way, but it is not 100%. And they will charge you a price premium for this partial fix.

CCFL (traditional, majority) LCDs are weak in image quality in terms of color, blacks, and contrast. Manufacturers compensate for this with LED LCDs. This is a immense help. Its just a total night and day kind of upgrade. But you will pay through the nose for this premium feature (it has to do with the backlight source for the TV).

Plasmas are inherently near instantaneous with their response time. This means that they playback fast motion flawlessly. The 480Hz or 600Hz stuff you see for them is more marketing than anything else. Just know they are amazing in this regard (much like a CRT).

Also like a CRT, Plasmas will provide better color, true blacks, and deeper contrast. They provide a better overall image to an LCD, even an LED LCD. And for this, you pay nothing extra. It is inherent to the technology, no premium fees needed.

Plasmas only suffer from myths and misconceptions, as you can see from the other answers. In the past Plasmas were more expensive, suffered from burn-in, didn't work in high altitudes, had short life-spans, and were energy hogs. None of those hold true anymore, or even for the past several years. The technology is light years beyond its initial versions.

Plasmas don't charge for amazing fast motion playback, good colors, true blacks, and deep contrast. LCD does. Its not a premium feature on a Plasma, its inherent to the technology. So they are cheaper.

Plasmas no longer suffer from burn-in. This is a pure myth that LCD fanboys like to rant on. And better brands even come with additional anti-image retention features, above and beyond the natural improvements in the technology.

Good Plasmas are rated to 100,000 hours. That is equal to, if not far, better than and LCD on the market. Basically, at 8 hours a day, 365 days a year, that would mean in 10 years time, you would only lose about 10% of the brightness on the screen. So you'll be shopping for a new TV before your Plasma wears out.

You can buy energy star certified Plasmas now. They can beat LCDs in terms of power consumption. All models are different, from both technologies. So if that is a concern, just look through the spec sheets.

If you go Plasma, go with the Panasonic Viera if you want the videophile's TV of choice. You'll get the best image in HDTVs with them (at least affordable, Pioneer Kuro Elite is better, but $$$). If you just can't see yourself going Panasonic, then settle with a Samsung or LG Plasma instead.

If you are going with a smaller LCD, 37" or smaller, I still like Panasonic. Get one of their LCDs. They have wonderful color and blacks. Again, if that's not your thing, or you do want a larger LCD, look to Samsung first and foremost. In 37" or smaller the 450 or 550 models are good choices (550 is a bit overkill, but won't hurt in terms of quality, just price). If you go to 40" or bigger in Samsung LCD look at 650 or better models. Otherwise look to Sony and the W,Z, or XBR lines.

How do I change the resolution of my Toshiba tv from 480p to 720p?

Q. I bought a Toshiba 19" LCD HDTV for watching movies and playing video games. Most of the games I have are 720p and higher, and on the box of the tv it says that it has that resolution. How do I change from 480p to 720p for better picture quality and overall performance?

A. The resolution is set by the video, the TV is just reporting what it is getting. So, if it says 480, then your device is feeding it SD video.

Check your game and make sure it's set to output 720p or 1080i. Also, you will need to connect the game to the TV with something that can support HD like a HDMI or component cables.


Should I buy an 1080p hdtv with basic dish network satellite service?
Q. I'm thinking about buying a Vizio VX240M 24" LCD HDTV, but I know my moms not going to be up for getting an HD box. Is it even worth buying, will the picture quality look bad with regular satellite service?

A. You'll see the Dish digital channels (they're all digital) in very fine standard definition video. It will look great on your proposed purchase; it just won't be HD. But the set will be able to produce HD from other sources, like a DVD player or, if you're lucky enough to be in a strong signal area for over-the-air TV, from an external antenna.

What's the difference between an Hd ready tv and an actual hdtv ?? also which is better of the two the lcd

Q. which is better that comes with those two, the lcd hdtv or the lcd hd ready tv? IM comfused and dont want to waste my money. Also if I were to buy a xbox 360 what dpi do i need for it? and how would i find it on the advertisement or in the store?

A. For an Xbox 360, the best resolution is 1080p, so an HDTV that offers this resolution will be what you want. An HDTV-Ready television does not have a built-in HD receiver, while an HDTV does. Look at the picture quality of different sets and determine the best one for your needs -and voila!

A. If you can afford I would recommend Samsung LN52B750 52-Inch 1080p 240 Hz LCD HDTV or Samsung LN46B750 46-Inch 1080p 240 Hz LCD HDTV. Great picture with 150,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. Smooth motion with 240Hz and fast 2ms response time

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 can I make my Samsung HDTV function as a monitor for my laptop pc?
Q. I have a dell latitude d620 with windows vista ultimate that I have connected to my Samsung 46" 1080p LCD HDTV via d-sub. On PC input, the TV says "mode not supported." PC option on menu for tv is grayed out. I cannot set PC screen resolution to 1920X1080--it reverts to another res. Any suggestions?

A. Are you using nvidia or ati?

alot of gpu companies have programs to deal with this...

nvidia use to have twinview? and ati had? check the driver website pending gpu...

What are the differences between LED, Plasma and LCD TV's?

Q. Which is the best one?

A. Instead of everyone trying to give there own opinion on the pro and con of each technology, I recommend you go online to Home Theater Magazine. Read the reviews on tvs, along with the pro and con of each technology. For 2010 they named the Panasonic Plasma tv model VT25 as the best tv, while 2009 belong to Pioneer Elite KURO which was also a Plasma tv. Plasma is still considered to have the best picture quality of all tv in the market today. All LCD and LED tv have a problem with blur motion when watching fast action sports or playing video games. To reduce reduce the blur motion you need the faster refresh rate of 120HZ or the 240HZ which also raises the price of the tv. Hope this will help you out.


anyone have a subscription to Consumer Reports?
Q. I carried a subscription for several years. At the end of last year I decided not to renew. I never got much use from it. Now I'm looking to buy a new television and I wish to know the top recommended in the 52 - 55" size range, but I don't want to buy another subscription. If you are current, please advise.

A. The last major test/review of TVs was in the March 2010 issue. Here are the top ratings:

LCD, 52 - 55 inches

1. LG 55LH90 full-matrix LED $2500
2. Sony Bravia KDL-52XBR10 edge-lit LED $4000
3. Toshiba Regza 55ZV650U CCFL LCD $2000
(15 total sets in the list.)

PLAZMA 50-55 inches

1. Samsung PN58B650 $1950
2. Panasonic Viera TC-P54Z1 $4000 (see note)
3. Panasonic Viera TC-P54V10 $2400
(9 sets in the list)

Note: #2 Panasonic plasma has a separate receiver console that connects to the display via a wireless link.

It should be noted that these tests were conducted about 5 - 6 months ago. Prices have probably come down since then and newer models may be out that are superior to one or more of these.

What is the best kind of TV to get for gaming?

Q. I have an Xbox 360 and a regular tv juust isnt cutting it graphic wise. What kind of TV will really bring out what the 360 has to offer. HD, LCD, LCD HDTV, Plasma, digital, or any other kind. Help please. I just want something that will make my games look like they are supposed look. B/c right now its ok, but words are blurry and graphics arent very good with my regular TV.

A. The best for gaming? CRT wins hands down and here's why. Zero lag; as a 360 owner it's likely you're as addicted to Xbox Live as most so you'll appreciate this. I'm not talking about system lag but instead the visible lag that you'll get with LCD, DLP and Plasma sets, the kind that puts your cross hairs just a tick behind a opposing players head though to your eye it seems as if you're aimed dead on. CRT is lag free thus giving you an edge in such situations where split second action and accuracy are a must.

Another plus is that flat screen, High Def CRT televisions are far less expensive than the latest high tech, not only upon the initial purchase but in upkeep and power usage as well. Most don't consider how much juice these new sets use and the bulb failure problem is one that every manufacterer and retailer try their hardest to keep hush-hush and considering the $200 replacement cost for a new bulb every 18-24 months it's no wonder! Compared to the 10+ trouble free years you'll get out of an 'Old School' CRT it is no contest really.

Inch for inch you'll score big with the CRT. Case in point, I just picked up a new Hitachi 51 inch rear projection unit for $699 shipped, thats 51 inchs of pure high definition at a full 1080i, just like the native resoultion of a 360. Can you say paradise? I couldn't even pick up a cheap 32 inch LCD for that price at Walmart and this set's picture is amazing. The expert's all agree, CRT may be going the way of the dinosaur but it's still the king of the hill in every catagory that can be judged. Trust me, I did the research and them's the facts.

So do yourself a favor and buy a nice flat screen, high definition CRT set, you'll get it for a lot less and be able to buy a far larger set than you'd planned, all without the headaches and hassles of todays not quite perfected systems. Good luck and happy gaming.


Is it normal for my HD channels to be insanely screwed up?
Q. I have a Dynex 42" LCD HDTV with Comcast Digital Cable.

I try to change the channel to an HD channel and I only get about 1 frame every 5-10 seconds.

So my question is- Is this normal?

A. If that were normal, NOBODY would buy HD televisions.

Call Comcast and ask them what's up.

How much is it for a knew screen on an LCD Sharp 46" TV?

Q. The screen on the tv is broken like cracked and different colors. Not an actual crack you can only tell when the tv is on. How much should this be?

A. You are not going to find a replacement part for your tv. Manufacturer will just replace the whole tv if it is covered under the factory warranty. Due to the cost of labor, if is not cost effective in replacing. Panasonic Plasma tv is the most reliable tv in the market and is still considered to have the best picture quality of all tv. Go online to Home Theater Magazine and read the reviews on tvs, along with the pro and con of each technology. If you read yahoo questions all the time, you will notice that 95% of tv problems comes from LCD or LED tv and 95% of those are the bargain price tv. Sharp is considered a bargain tv. Hope this will help you out.


Which LCD tv has smart sound so the commercials don't blast you out of the room?
Q. I know Magnavox used to have it but I am not reading good reviews on them now. I know my new Sony and Sharp does not have it. I am interested in a 46 or 50 inch tv.

A. Sony...Samsung...Sharp or Magnavox. They ALL work the same.
Very Very Slowly....

So your commmercials will still blast you out of the room...and when the Smart sound feature actually kicks in AND you go back to your regular program, your program loudness will be weak for about 30 seconds...

The Circuit is nothing more than an Automatic Gain Control circuit, used for the last 40 years in TV sets for tuning...they can't make it any faster because it LOOKS at the average overall loudness of the sound signal....

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.


How do you fix burn in on LCD/LED TV?
Q. My 55' HDTV has some very light shadows in the shape of boxes (most likely from Netflix or video games sitting too long), its usually on a white or black screen is when it really stands out but its there all the time, it isn't bad but it bugs me and this isn't a cheap TV, its both LED/LCD, I came across a video on YouTube of the different color lines going through like a slide show for 2 hours and says it can fix burn in, would this work and if not what can I do?

A. My panasonic 65 has an issue when not watching high def that sound similar. when watching high def, we can see the lines from the gray bar. My tv has a scrolling bar that I let run for about 3 minutes and it takes the image away. Maybe look to see if your tv does too.

Which hdtv is best for my playstation 3?

Q. I need to know which hdtv is best for my playstation 3. I thinkn about getting a samsung, but don't know which model to get. They have a new one out, but i'm not sure if it's good or not.

A. Unlike what he said, i recommend going with a Plasma because with an LCD, the picture will fade at angles, but with a plasma, it will not. Plasmas now have the same lifespan an an LCD with a more true color that the bright unnecessary lights of the LCD. Also, the human eye is incapable of seeing most 1080i on anything less than 50 inches, so i would recommend going with a 720p plasma.

Aside from Pioneer, the best picture out there is the new Panasonic which is as sleek looking as any other brand out there.
http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Panasonic-42-Plasma-HDTV-TH-42PX80U/sem/rpsm/oid/205247/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do

When i was shopping for my TV, a good friend who was a senior sales rep at best buy helped me out and saved me from spending extra money for something you wont notice, And at the price of the Panasonic, it cannot be beat.


Did anyone else buy the Polaroid '42 lcd TV that was on the front page of the WalMart Black Friday ad?
Q. I got it buy I'm having trouble finding any reviews of it. There's one guy on Amazon that hates it. And the few consumer review sites I found said that for the money it's a good buy for a mid level TV. For $798, I feel I got a good deal, but I'd like to find out what others think, and where they keep their TV settings at.

A. sorry to be the bearer of bad news but this tv isnt very good. this is not a mid level hdtv is is a low level hdtv. a good deal for the money? yes. is it worth it? no. polaroid make good cameras. thats it. their tvs are crap. they are cheap, have poor picture quality and use very cheap parts. also there is no fixing these tvs. they are a throw away tv. so i hope you pray this tv doesnt have any problems. you could have spent as little as an extra $200 and gotten a great name brand tv with much better quality and reliability. i personally think you should return it and get a better name brand one. believe me you really get what you pay for in hdtvs. get a brand like panasonic, sony, toshiba, sharp, samsung, lg. yes yes i know they are more money, but it will be well worthit. these are tier 1 or high level of quality tvs. you can even get a tier 2 or mid level hdtv like an olevia that will be a heck of alot better than that polaroid. im not trying to be rude at all. this is just my experience talking. so good luck.

Didn't say I was selling it here, I've posted an ad on craigslist...

https://post.craigslist.org/manage/426160308/snu8n

I just would like to see any suggestions on pricing from honest ppl and not low ballers or scammers.
Tv was bought in Feb.07

Xbox 360 Elite was bought June.07

Pc was built and purchased April.07

In the ad I posted pick up only in Bronx NY at my apt as I am not shipping.
Any 1 interested email Junemas@aol.com

A. Sell them seperately you'll get more... Basically you'll want to Take 25 to 30 % off the original purchase if the things are less than a year old.. If they are older you'll want to take about 50 to 60 % off the games especially ----and 40% off the tv. If microsoft drops the price of the elite them take the 25 to 30% off the currnet in store list price..

Hope this helps.. Also find out shipping cost and list that as a seperate cost to the buyer.


At the 46-50 inch range, why would anyone pick a LCD HDTV over plasma?
Q. The plasma is cheaper (from a quick Amazon search) and from what I've read the plasma has a better picture quality. I can understand at 60 inch range; the LCD's seem cheaper.

A. At 60 inches the LCD's are cheaper? I don't think so...

I personally would take a plasma over an LCD for just about anything 42 inches and up.

How well does a lcd hdtv work as a computer monitor?

Q. A lcd hdtv i am buying has a computer input. Will it look just as good as my computer monitor? it would save me some space.

A. It may depend on the make, but it will work well as a computer monitor.

I got my laptop hooked up to my LCD TV using an inexpensive VGA cable (same as the cable from your CPU to the computer monitor) to view my jpeg digital pictures. I could use the mouse to find my photo directories, veiw photos as a slide, etc.

When I hooked up the cable, I had the option of using the TV as the computer monitor or have both the laptop screen and the TV display on.


How to get a better picture quality on a lcd hdtv?
Q. I recently bought a 1080p lcd hdtv, right now im watching tv just through basic cable without a cable box or anything else. But when im watching tv i dont feel the picture quality is very good, it looks somewhat blurry and i just dont feel like im getting what im suppose to. I wasnt really expecting that though it being an HD ready tv and putting out 1080p. Would getting an HD cable box from my cable provider help?

A. The picture looks bad because you are looking at standard-definition channels, not HD channels.

HDTVs usually make standard-def channels look WORSE, not better!

So what you need to do is get some HD channels.

To do that with cable, you probably have to upgrade your cable account to pay extra for HD and get an HD cable box. But before you do that, you could try without a box, and have your TV scan for new channels (tell it you have digital cable when you start the scan), and it may pick up a few channels (mostly major networks) in HD. If you are happy with just those in HD, you might not need to pay extra for HD.

Lcd 120hz vs Plasma 600hz?

Q. I will play video games 100% or the time on one of these hdtvs. Should I go with a 720p 600hz plasma or a 1080p 120hz Lcd. Both tvs are made by the same company.

A. The above post is incorrect. The screen glare problem has not been solved. Plasma screens are the glossy type. When I went to best buy, i noticed severe reflections from all angles. There is even a video done by CNET on the VT30 plasma TV (last years panasonic flagship model and also the TV in my bedroom) on youtube where you can see significant reflections even in a darker room. Plasma TVs are best suited for rooms with controlled lighting. In those conditions the plasma TV will produce great PQ. Also plasma TVs consume the same amount of power as the older plasma models. You can verify this through many review sites such as FlatpanelsHD or CNET. They measure the total watts consumption per hour and have it down on a chart. If you are adamant on purchasing a plasma, then I would recommend the ST50 by Panasonic. It is their most inexpensive plasma TV and it has gotten great reviews.

Now I recommend to you a LED LCD TV for gaming. My reasons are : if you plan on gaming a long time, your TV will not overheat and burn-in issues are non-existent. (i have seen burn-ins on a panasonic vt30 after only 5 months--even with the screen wipe feature in use). Also 3D gaming is a big plus for me so the comfort of the glasses will become significant enough to where it will affect the type of TV you may purchase. You will be able to play during the day. LED LCD TVs are very bright. Most 2012 LED TVs however have a glossy screen as well. You will get some unwanted reflections. I highly recommend LG's LW series 3D LED TVs (2011 models). They have a matte screen for unparalleled brightness and since its 2012 now, should be priced even lower than its competition.


what are the number 3 HD TVs on the market today?
Q.

A. Depending on what source you choose to get reviews, you can usually find the following three listed often in their top five

I usually rely on CNET reviews as a start, and they are pretty good with the testing and feedback.

Based on affordability, the current winners are: LCD and Plasma
Just remember, For rooms with natural light, LCD is the best
for darker rooms and better pictures, Plasma still wins.

There are pros and cons to each, you simply have to research and test them at show rooms, or ask friends, family and neighbours.

I personally have great experience with Panasonic and continue to stick to that brand. And what's more, Panasonic is always in the number one, two, or three spot.

so here are the top three for 2011( it will change, it always does)
Panasonic TC-PVT20/25
Samsung PNC8000 series
LG PX950 series

Tv picture quality question? ?

Q. Had a tv with great quality but I broke. Buying another one but I want to make sure it has at least the same quality

Broken tv: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Sceptre-40-Class-LCD-1080p-60Hz-HDTV-X405BV-FHD3/16829822

Potential tv: http://www.walmart.com/ip/VIZIO-42-Class-LCD-1080p-60Hz-HDTV-E421VO/15992341

Are the picture qualities the same?

A. Rubbish. I wouldn't touch it with someone else's barge pole.

Please spend some time reading the questions on the TV section over a few days. You will find that "supermarket brand" television sets are always top of the list for reporting problems. This seems to be true whatever side of the Atlantic ocean you're on.

Don't be stingy. Spend a bit more and buy a proper manufacturer's brand like Sony, Panasonic, LG, Samsung or Sharp. You will get better quality picture and sound as well as a television that will last longer than two years.


Do 60hz LCDs lag in sports even on sport mode?
Q. I am going to buy a new tv a sony bravia, it is 60hz lcd and i hear it will lag in sports and games. it has modes for games and sports does this make a difference to the lagging
thnx

A. yes it does lag due to slow response times, you will
see smearing when a football player runs for instance.
The 120hz LCD's or 240hz LCD's cost more but with
the 120hz/240hz the refresh rate is increased and also
you should look for a LCD with a response time of 4ms
or less. A 120hz/240hz LCD with a response time of
4ms or less would be a higher end but will combat and
help reduce a lot of the blur issues that standard LCD's
suffer from. A plasma has 600hz, with 0.001ms response
times and mega contrasts out the box which is why they
are recommended for sports.

I would recommend these TV's if you are on a budget,
I will add 42-50 inch models.

Looking to buy a lcd HDTV, wondering which ones are good?

Q. I am looking to buy a lcd hdtv and wanted to hear if anyone had suggestions for 46-52 inch. I like to play xbox 360, and the previous hdtv had a small but noticeable lag from when a button is pressed to when it shows up on the tv. Any suggestions?

A. If you can afford I would recommend Samsung LN52B750 52-Inch 1080p 240 Hz LCD HDTV or Samsung LN46B750 46-Inch 1080p 240 Hz LCD HDTV. Great picture with 150,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. Smooth motion with 240Hz and fast 2ms response time

What is best audio solution for an HDTV in compact space?
Q. I have a 46 inch Samsung LCD HDTV which is very good except the speakers are terrible. I have a PS3 so the Blu-ray looks great, but the audio is substandard. What is the best audio solution without putting in a whole home theater system (space is very tight - no way it will fit). Also, a soundbar is a bit pricey (250-300). Would it work just to hook up two audio speakers to the PS3 or the HDTV? If so, any recommendations?

A. There is nothing you can do without some sort of a receiver/amp.
No you can't connect speakers directly.

You may want to get a PC-oriented audio system with power-based speakers. Ideally you want one with optical input but if the input is only stereo, you will simply need an RCA-to-3.5 mm (PC audio) cable.

So, the easiest and cheapest solution is a pair of powered computer speakers. If you have already a pair, give it a try!

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.


If I only have antenna TV, what TV is best to buy?
Q. I current have a tube type TV. In Canada we get digital TV signals from the States. It seems that the signals from Canada are still analog.

Are the digital signals transmitted at 1080 or 720, 120hz or 60hz?
What TV would be best without over spending?

Thanks.

A. >Are the digital signals transmitted at 1080 or 720, 120hz or 60hz?

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 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..

Blu ray or a upscaling player? Is blu ray disc player worth it to buy?

Q. I just bought a LCD 1080i. I"m debating on just buying upscaling or blu ray disc player. Can Blu ray play regular DVDs and play on 1080i format? Or should I just save money and by a upscaling player that plays regular DVDs. How is the output on the upscaling player?

A. Not an easy question to answer.

First, you will have to decide based on YOUR priorities ... but let me offer some things to consider.

- Blu-ray is, and will likely remain, a niche premium format for people who can benefit and are willing to pay the premium price (~$300+ for the player and $5-$20 more for disks of the same movie vs DVD).

- Opinion of Blu-ray can vary from "wow!" to "what's all the fuss about" ... depending on how it is being displayed.

- To FULLY benefit you need a 40" or larger 1080p HDTV, with a good surround sound system capable of handling the advanced audio formats.

- You will still get some benefit from Blu-ray with a 720p HDTV (what you have), but you don't mention screen size, where you intend to watch from and whether you have a good sound system ... all of which influence the benefit/cost equation.

- Many Blu-ray films are poorly mastered and don't look much better than DVD even under optimum conditions.

- An upconverting DVD player won't make a DVD look as good as a Blu-ray disk, but on a 720p HDTV under about 40" detail will look fairly close. But picture quality is subjective -- and dependent on more than just resolution -- so you really have to see it for yourself and decide if Blu-Ray is worthwhile. Why not view a DVD and a Blu-ray disk on a HDTV similar to yours and see for yourself?

Personally I can say that I have a 720p projector and a 110" screen, and I tried HD DVD disks (which give essentially identical picture and audio quality to Blu-ray) and found insignificant improvement over upscaled DVDs. Since then I have bought 2 HD DVD tiltes (Planet eart and Sunrise Earth) and over 50 DVDs. I use my HD DVD player as an upscaling DVD player ... and pay about $20 less for movies than if I bought Blu-ray. So I guess I'm biased ... but upconverted DVD look just fine with me.

I should caution that not everyone sees the same thing (which is why I recommended seeing for yourself).

If you do consider an upconverting players note they are only as good as the video processing chip they use ... so avoid the under $60 models. The best are Oppo's models but they are a bit pricy.

BTW, if you do decide an upconverting DVD player is enough the liquidation prices (~$75) in effect on the Toshiba HD-A3 or Venture HD-7000 (Wal-Mart's brand) HD DVD player make them a very attractive option (and as a bonus you can play any of the 400 HD DVD movies available (Noting there will be very few new ones after this month)). But you will have to move fairly fast .. a lot of people have realized the same thing and they are getting snapped up fast.

Finally, if you decide on Blu-ray, other than the PS3, you should wait until near the end of the year to get a Profile 2.0 (BD-Live!) player, and for prices to come down a bit.

Hope that helps.


Do i have to purchase a 1080P TV to play the PS3?
Q. Or can i just play it on a Toshiba. I don't know if my Toshiba is a 1080p or some other "P". Also which is better LCD or some other type of TV. Im planning on getting a 80GB PS3....if that helps to answer my question.

A. A 1080P HDTV is the only one capable of utilizing the PS3 to its full potential, however one is not required to play a PS3. Most games for the PS3 have a native resolution of 1080p, so a 1080P HDTV would be a good investment, because for sure

I have 720P HDTV and really it makes no difference if the TV is under 32" and the difference is subtle if the screen is under 50". Therefore if you don't need a really big TV (depending on the size of your room), 1080P is not necessary. Although if you have the money, you would want to make this investment after spending 400-500 dollars on a PS3.

Plasma currently yields the best picture, with the best colour accuracy, refresh times, etc. However a LCD would b best for gaming purposes.

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


How do I fix my cable quality?
Q. I just got a new Samsung 32" 720p LCD HDTV a week ago, and the quality on my cable is horrible. Everything is enhanced while I'm playing video games, but it's kinda bad when I'm watching cable. Everything looks slightly smudged.

A. YOU can't fix it. It's an issue between you and your cable provider. This assumes you are using component or HDMI cables, and that they are correctly hooked up.
I suspect that you have standard cable service. if so, and you want high quality TV reception, you'll have to pony up a few extra bucks a month and get HD service to take advantage of your HDTV!

What is the best brand of televisions to buy?

Q. Can you tell me which is the best? I actually need to know in order which is the best.......Samsung, Vizio, Toshiba, Sony, and Philips
I just need to be aware of my options when I make my purchase. Can you please list them as 1 being the best.....
1
2
3
4
5

A. The fact is, no one brand can claim to have the best sets in every classification, nor the worst. Any individual model from any manufacturer can be a superior set, and any single sample of any model can be a fine TV, even if that model gets poor reviews.

Your best bet is to review "top ten" lists and similar evaluations that are done by professional labs like Consumer Reports. If you do, you'll find that one manufacturer has the best 50 inch plasma set, another one has the best 50 inch LCD-LED set, and still another one has best 42 inch set, and so on.

I can strongly recommend the March 2011 issue of Consumer Reports for one of the best listings of TVs in all categories that you'll find anywhere, plus basic info on everything related to modern digital television.

A. I friend just got the Vizio E321MV which is the new 2011 model from Vizio which is a Taiwan USA based company manufacturing televisions the the USA in fact in 2010 Vizio sold more televisions in the USA than any other model and because they are made in the US they are very inexpensive compared to some of th big named Brands.

You would of thought since its a no so well named brand the quality might be crap but the reviews are 4-5 Stars and thats why my friend bought it plus it was a LOT cheaper for the same size with a better known brand.

I have seen it and its pretty impressive for the money and I think he paid around $400

What's the difference between an LCD and an LED HDTV?

Q. I'm looking to purchase an HDTV and was wondering the difference between the two types. Is it worth is to spend the extra money for LED? How much better is the performance of an LED?

A. LED and LCD HDTVs are actually both LCD. The only difference is when the HDTV says it's LED, it's actually referring to the type of backlighting. LEDs use light emitting diodes which turn on and off extremely fast. This helps to make dynamic contrast possible (black scenes are darker, white scenes are brighter). LCDs use fluorescent tubes that are not so fast. Performance wise, picture quality varies greatly between manufacturers in regards to both technology. Before making a purchase, do your homework and read up on specs and reviews on websites like http://www.cnet.com and http://www.specsandreviews.com


How do I choose the right LCD TV?
Q. I am planning to buy a 32" or 37" LCD TV (HDTV), but I am not sure about the best specs. Do you have any brand preferences?
I would like to use the TV occasionally to play games, like with pS2 and XBOX 360/

A. If you're going to be playing video games on it, I don't recommend getting a LCD TV. LCD TV's still aren't quite as good as .. well, anything else in terms of refresh rates. Refresh rates matter anytime fast movements take place (such as video games). The higher the refresh rate, the higher the chance of blurring. Many people don't notice it, but unfortunately I'm not one of those people and it bugs the heck out of me. I was in China/Japan/Taiwan last month and I've seen the latest models of televisions. LCD has certainly come a long way, but it's still not as good as plasma tv's were two years ago. The higher end LCD TVs that don't have as much of a blurring issue but is also as expensive as a car. LCD has it's pluses, higher resolution for example ... but I personally think it stinks for gaming. That's my opinion of course, so I urge you to check out sports on a LCD TV and see if the blurring bothers you.

Here are some websites to help you out.

http://www.cnet.com.au/tvs/0,239035250,240036500,00.htm
"Plasma pundits will also tell you that some LCD screens have a tendency to blur images, particularly during fast moving scenes in movies or in sports. While that was true for older generation LCD screens, newer models have improved significantly - so much so that the differences in performance between LCDs and plasmas in this regard is almost negligible (here's a tip -- if you're shopping for LCDs, check the refresh rate. The lower it is, the better the image quality in fast moving scenes)."

http://www.lcdtvbuyingguide.com/lcdtv-plasmavslcd.shtml
"While the "response time" of LCD TVs has markedly improved in the last couple of years, they still suffer from a slight "trailer" effect, where the individual pixels are just slightly out of step with the image on the screen. During fast moving sports scenes, the most discerning eyes can detect this slight motion response lag."

-----------------------------------
The other answerer was commenting on how the life of a plasma TV is poor. That's simply not true anymore. Do your own research on that matter, this hasn't been an issue for quite some time now. Don't believe what he says about being an idiot for buying a plasma. People who say that can't see the difference in image quality, perhaps their attention to detail is lacking .. who knows. He has very strong opinions towards plasma tvs and hybrid cars, those are exactly the wrong people to listen to. Keep an open mind. For the record, I have a HDTV CRT, Plasma TV, and three LCD TVs (all larger than 32'') .. they all have their purpose. The LCD TVs are great for connecting to computers, they have high resolutions. For watching TV, nothing beats CRT and Plasma... yet.

Can my lcd hdtv survive out in my shed over the winter?
Q. I want to put my lcd hdtv out in my shed. I want to watch tv out there when i work on my snowmobile, but im not sure if the tv will be ok if left out there. I will heat the shed when out there, but not when im out there. The shed is fully weaterproof, but will still reach extreamly low temperatures.

A. The lowest of the low temperatures I saw (and this is brand, model and size dependent) was -22 degrees Fahrenheit. I wouldn't do it! Put a CRT out there, they can handle it, and if it dies....oh well. Don't hurt your HDTV if it means that much to you!

What is the better choice between LED and LCD HDTV's?

Q. I am in the first stage of buying a new flat screen TV and I need a reliable source on which is better. I have seen some that include both LED-LCD in their description. What does this mean?. Please enlighten me! The universe will reward you further if you could include a link to a good 32" to 42" TV. Thanks!!

A. Both LED and LCD are LCD tvs. Different backlights. LED are the newer tech and are still having new tech issues. Clouding, flashlighting at the corners of the screen and other screen anomolies.

If you want 3D you have to get an LED. LEDs have the newest internal tech also. LCD are being shifted to the lower line tvs but they have fewer problems. If you want the latest and greatest you should get LED. If you are OK with older tech but fewer issues, you should go with LCD.

Go with a Samsung or Sony tv. The universe should be satisfied with that as they both are coming out with new models as we speak, so links are not available if you want the newest 2012 models.

Can I clone my laptop screen to an external monitor so that both screens display the same image?

Q. My laptop is the Compaq 2580US. I can extend the laptop screen via the s-video port to my Vizio LCD HDTV screen, but I can't clone (duplicate) the laptop screen onto the TV, so that the TV would show a larger version of the laptop screen.

A. Usually I hear the opposite complaint. You can clone the screen, but not extend.

Using Windows XP, right click on the desktop and go into properties
Click on the setting tab
You should see a graphic representation of your two monitors near the top of the screen
Click on the second monitor in the graphics
In the properties underneath, make sure that "Extended the screen" is not checked.
Apply that setting

Depending on your video card, the driver may have its own configuration utility. That could be overiding the Windows settings. Usually you can get to the utility by another tab in Desktop properties. Check under there.

Also many laptops have a key combination (such as FN+F8 on the Dells) which toggle the picture between CRT, LCD, and both without having to go into the properties. Check they documentation for your make/model for such a key combination.


Do all HDTVs have fuzzy or blurry picture?
Q. Hi I just bought a samsung hdtv lcd a550 series. I noticed that it kinda of fuzzy and sometimes a bit blurry on regular channels but even on the HD channels its not 100% crisp. ESPN basketball is also a little fuzzy and definitly has motion blur. Is this how all HDTV LCDs are or is it just my TV. I plan on returning it either way and Im wondering whether I should buy a vizio or sony?

A. With a good HD signal it shouldn't be fuzzy, but there are some situations which would give a fuzzy picture.

1) If you don't have HD programming you will get what could be called a fuzzy image

2) If you have cable or satellite some channels are less crisp than others due to compression of the HD signal (it varies by supplier and channel so it's difficult to specify). This is one area where off the air (OTA = antenna) based HDTV can be better than cable/satellite.

3) if there are scaling or deinterlacing issues due to a poor video processor and inappropriate selection of input resolution (e.g. 1080i instead of 720p) the picture can look blurry. This is difficult to predict and the right settings can only be determined by experimenting.

4) Some HDTV programming is really scaled SD material and looks worse than true HD.

Motion blur is a fact of life with LCD HDTVs -- particularly in 1080i.

The best way to find out if it is the TV or not is to feed a known good signal -- such as a Blu-ray disk via HDMI direct to the TV. Next best is an HD game or an upconverted DVD.

Good luck.

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.

What is the best HDTV of 2012 so far?

Q. Please clarify in each HDTV's respective category.

-Plasma TV
-LED TV
-LCD TV
-Smart TV
-TVs to come
-Best Design for a TV (Panel type is irrelevant)

Please provide detailed explanations.

A. I bought my LG 47 inch cinema 3D smart TV some weeks back. For me, I was considering attributes like price, design, picture quality and accurate colour to give the best credit for my TV. I guess other people may have a different opinion and may select a tv that may be different from mind but I prefer passive sets period.


Pls... Pls... Answer Someone, Does regular cable work in HDTV?
Q. I am currently subscribed with SHAW classic cable. I want to buy a new LCD/Plasma tv, but i don't know if I have to upgrade to digital cable. Please help me on this matter.

A. You will receive standard definition analog cable in the same way you do now-no HDTV. When analog OTA TV disappears in February of '09, cable is only required to provide analog versions of the OTA digital TV available in your area, and only until 2012. If you want anything more than the standard channels-2,4,5 Etc, you'll need to go to a digital box, or to a HDTV box.
