What do you recommend for my PlayStation 3?

Q. I want to get surround sound for my PlayStation 3 and I was wondering if you have any recommendations on what I should get. When I check out best buy it all "theater systems". I just want surround sound, not a new blue rye DVD... etc.

I am also planning on what type of HD/LCD TV, what type should I get.

(I play Call of Duty 5, games like that)

Website links will and store names will help.

Any help?

A. This isn't a question that can be answered in 1000 characters but ill try my best.

First lets start with HDTV. Do not buy sony. I know your thinking its sony, Ps3 is Sony. Yes, Yes it is. But Sony TV's are over priced. I'm not saying they are not great tv's but there are brands that are cheaper in pricer and better quality.

So with that said.
Go with a Samsung. Now I'm not sure of your price range is. If you got 3000 and some change to spend the buy a new Samsung 46"+ LED TV. Don't feel bad if you don't most people don't. Now if you want just a LCD an really amazing LCD by samsung is the 550 series or the 650 Series ToC. There's no real reason to buy higher then a 650 series unless your going to buy a 950 series which has a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1. I'm not sure of that price.

But anways a 650 Series Samsung is an amazing TV. Be sure to get get a 40+ inch LCD because they may look big in the store but trust me a 40" compared to a 46" is a very noticable difference.
Okay I think I've touched enough on that

As for Surround sound. This is more complicated. But. If your looking for a HTIB (Home Theater In a Box) look at onkyo ht-s6100 or a onkyo ht-s7100. The 7100 is a 7.1 that for a starter Home Theater is amazing. If your not an Audiophile then don't worry about ever getting anything bigger then it. Incase you have the thought of a bose system. Its a great system but very overpriced. In time once you learn more about audio etc you can upgrade in a few years

I've shopped for 6 months for HDTV and Surround sound and. Yesterday I finally completed my home theater. I have a 120hz 46" 650 series Samsung. A Ht-s7100 onkyo 7.1 home theater. And a 80gb Mgs4 ps3. I know all of it is compatiable.

Once you get everything set up. You will never want to watch a movie in non hd. Heck I don't even wanna go to the movies. When I can sit at home. And eat and laugh, pause, whatever ya want and never miss a movie of a action packed movie.

What is the Best HDTV and best place to buy it?

Q. I want to buy an HDTV. I would like one that is in the 46 inch or 47 inch range. What are the best HDTV's and where are the smartest places to buy them? Please help me because I am a terrible shopper! Thank You!

A. It depends on your situation.

Are you going to be watching the tv in a high level light area? If so, you'll want a LCD HDTV.
Vizios are pretty good LCD's, as well are Sony's

Is it going to be a dark room? If so, you'll want a Plasma HDTV.
For Plasmas, I'd recommended Panasonic or Samsung.


If you really want, THE BEST available. Get Samsungs LED TV

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.

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.

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.

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.

What kind of HDTV is better: Plasma, LCD , LED, etc.?

Q. I want to buy an 40" - 46" HDTV (1080p) for my home to replace my 10 year old 40 " CRT TV. I've seen different types out there: Plasma, LED. LCD. What's the difference and which is considered best (quality-wise). Any references to links that explain the different types of TVs on the market now. I'm just now able to afford getting into 21st century technology and would like some help.

A. Confused about what type of TV to buy? LED LCD Plasma.. How to choose?

After all, there are so many acronyms and buzzwords to wrap your head around, such as 1080p, 120/240Hz, 24p, HDMI and LED backlighting. Huh?

Along with deciding how big a screen you want (which is usually tied to the size of your budget and the dimensions of your room), the next choice should be between LCD.LCD (LED Backlit) or Plasma � and all have their merits. Here, we'll describe each of these formats, and also point out their shortcomings.

LCD

What is it?
lcd tv 120mhzSimilar to your laptop computer's monitor, flat-panel LCD televisions use a liquid crystal display to produce a sharp and bright picture; these crystals are sandwiched between two panes of polarized glass, which are stimulated by an electric current and illuminated by fluorescent tubes housed behind the glass. Some newer LCD TVs, however, use LED-backlighting instead. LEDs, or light-emitting diodes, translate to a better-looking picture (see photo).

Pros
There are a number of advantages to buying a LCD televisions. For one, with more than three-quarters of all televisions embracing this technology, there is a lot of choice when it comes to manufacturers, models and sizes (13- to 103-inches, in fact). Competition, of course, breeds more aggressive pricing, too, which is good news for the consumer.

Flat-panel LCD televisions are also very thin, light and energy efficient, and are ideal for rooms with plenty of ambient light, which, for example, comes through large windows as they tend to absorb rather than reflect light (reflected light can obscure your view of the screen).

Cons
Until recently, LCD TVs didn't handle fast motion images as well as plasma TVs, resulting in a somewhat blurred image. Newer LCD TVs, though, have added technologies such as 120Hz frame doubling (or 240Hz frame quadrupling) to smooth out motion. It's still not as good as plasma, but much better than before. Also, LCD TVs used to have problems showing dark blacks (because a light was still on behind the pixel showing black, resulting in a more greyish hue). Many LCD televisions today use local-dimming with LED-backlighting (see next section) for improved contrast ratios (whiter whites and blacker blacks) - but, keep in mind, this is not an issue associated with plasma TVs.

LCD (LED Backlit)

What is it? Not a Different Type of TV

led lcd tv backlighting backlitIt�s tempting to think LEDs belong in a completely separate category beside LCD and plasma TVs, but in reality, an LED television is just a type of LCD TV. The proper term would really be "LED-backlit LCD TV," but that always seems to get truncated to "LED TV" in everyday conversation, perpetuating the confusion.

To understand how LEDs function in an LCD TV, think of an actual liquid-crystal panel as the plastic pegs in a Lite Brite. They hold a translucent image, but without a powerful backlight to punch through and light it up like a signboard, you�re not going to see much. On your old Lite Bright, an inefficient incandescent light did the job, but pretty unevenly. On a typical LCD TV, fluorescent lights provide the backlighting through a special plastic sheet called a light guide that distributes light from a fluorescent tube evenly over the surface of the TV. On an LED-backlit TV, fluorescent tubes are replaced with light-emitting diodes � LEDs � the same technology that probably lights up your digital watch, the buttons on your monitor, and the indicators on your stereo. They can be either situated along the edges of the TV like a fluorescent tube, or arranged directly behind the screen in a grid. But what difference does it make, and why would anyone spend so much money on it?

The Benefit of LEDs

The most obvious reason LEDs have fallen into favor in LCD TVs: they�re simply more efficient. Although fluorescent lights do a decent job converting electricity to light in the big scale of things, LEDs perform even better. Typically, manufacturers claim an efficiency improvement of up to 30 percent over fluorescent-based sets, which can add up significantly over the lifetime of a TV, especially on larger screens that use more juice to begin with.

LEDs are also much smaller than tubes, even after accounting for the number of them needed to light an entire TV. That means LED-backlit televisions can be manufactured significantly thinner than their tube cousins. For instance, most of the ultra-thin televisions that measured under an inch thick at CES used LED backlights, because they add very little depth to the profile. Though commercial variants aren�t quite as dramatically thin as these prototypes, they�re significantly skinnier than their fluorescent-backlit counterparts, making them some of the most chic and living-room-friendly HDTVs out there.

For home theater enthusiasts, LEDs only matter for one reason: image quality. Because fluorescent tubes mu

why is my friend being charged so much on her credit card?

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

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

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

It looks great and one of the contrast tests i used showed it being ok and not losing any white detail. I just wondering if having it that high is still not good and is there another test i an try?

A. Well that's sort of an opinion because it is set so what you're liking everyone's eyes are different so whatever appeals best to you is what you should go for but mostly with the brightness or contrast very high it will consume more power. The tv should have presets maybe like power saving or dynamic etc.

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.

What are the best Gaming TV’s for 1080p ‘HD gaming’ on Xbox 360 and PS3?

Q. I want to buy a new HDTV for 1080p HD gaming on my Xbox 360 and PS3. I�m not sure what type of HDTV type is best gaming, whether it be plasma, LCD, LED, 3D etc.

Can someone please guide me on what type of HDTV works best for these systems for video games? Thanks!

A. There are specific types of HDTV's that work well for gaming and other types that don't.

First off, Wii does not support HD-Gaming. Only PS3 and Xbox 360 do.

Second, the most important feature needed for HDTV gaming is a high refresh rate to reduce lag and blur on fast moving objects. Older plasma models do not support this. You need to see the objects onscreen without any time-lapse with clarity or your gaming experience degrades severely.

The best gaming TV's are LCD/LED technology HDTV's due to higher refresh rates and lower lag rates. There are however a few exceptions in the Plasma category that were developed with more modern lag reduction features. So you will want to look at the AQUOS and VIERA Series HDTV's.

when your playing ps3 games honestly does which hdtv really matter?

Q. rathers its plasma lcd led or whatever brand will that greatly make a difference in picture quality?? if so how much will it be dramatically different?

A. It depends on how hardcore of a gamer you are really. When plasmas first came out they were death for gamers or even frequent sports viewers because of the threat of "burn-in"-when a repetitive image on the screen would remain "burned in" even after the picture would change, think health/ammo bars or the scoreboard in sports. Newer plasmas don't suffer from it to the same degree, but they still can have problems resulting from extended gaming sessions. If you play like 3 hours at a time you will be fine with a plasma. If you are more of an 8 hour marathoner you may want to try a different direction. Once your type is chosen just compare refresh rates (Htz) and contrast ratios in like priced and sized models. Also make sure it has all the inputs you may need. Multiple HDMI inputs, VGA if needed etc. Often you can get a larger screen size with a plasma per dollar.

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!

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!

Will an HDMI cable have any effect on picture quality with a PS3 connected to a 720p TV?

Q. I have a Vizio 32" LCD HDTV that displays in 720p, as well as a PS3. If I hook it up with an HDMI cable instead of the Red-White-Yellow cord, will it have any effect on the picture quality?

A. Compared to red-white-yellow, yes. Red-white-yellow (actually just Yellow) is just Composite, which does only 480i

Compared to Component ( red-green-blue-red-white), not for gaming anyways. Both it and HDMI do 720p or better.

Is it really important to have calibration on an LCD television?

Q.

A. Very, very few consumers need a professional display calibration. With few exceptions many of today�s displays are much improved over those of the past and have at least one display or picture mode that will provide acceptable grayscale performance straight out of the box. Consumers that purchase a good quality, well-designed display will rarely benefit from a professional calibration not to mention that such a service could potentially make your picture fidelity worse if you were unfortunate enough to hire a less than competent calibration service. Furthermore, there are many consumers that simply will not enjoy an accurate, optimized and/or �calibrated� video image while others cannot because their viewing environment is less than optimal (or in some cases because a consumer has color deficient vision.)

Like most consumers your best bet (assuming you own a reasonably well designed, well built LCD TV,) is to purchase or rent one or more of the popular display optimization (aka �calibration�) discs listed below in order to properly optimize your display�s settings. If after attempting to optimize your TV picture you�re still dissatisfied then you may want to contact one of the calibration services I�ve listed below. However, under no circumstance do I recommend that a consumer pay $250 to $400 for a professional display calibration on a television which has an MSRP of roughly less than five times the cost of the calibration.

How can I transmit a DVI signal to a HDMI television wirelessly?

Q. I want to send a DVI video signal from my ASUS P5QL-EM motherboard to a 46" Sony LCD television.

A. Yes you can, but it'll cost you.

WHDMI extenders are indeed available out there, but they cost upwards of $800, and are limited to 24Hz refresh rate. http://reviews.cnet.com/audio-video-distribution/gefen-ext-whdmi-wireless/4505-14101_7-32365996.html

And yes, it is compatible with DVI since HDMI uses a DVI video signal.

The cost makes it utterly impractical though. I don't know about you, but I'd rather use a $20 cable rather than an $800 wireless extender set.

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

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 I�ve provide a link below.

     Plasma vs. LCD Technology
     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 Panasonic�s (PZ800 Series) PDPs and�to a somewhat lesser extent�Samsung�s (650 Series) PDPs as well as VIZIO�s new VP505XVT if you�re interested in good quality, lower-cost alternatives.

If you have a viewing environment containing substantial illumination I would give additional consideration to LCD TVs from Samsung (A650 Series,) Sony and a few other brands.

When shopping for a new HDTV (assuming you still watch�or plan on watching�a moderate amount of SD video material,) be sure to thoroughly test the TVs in which you�re interested using a wide variety of source materials, especially average quality non-upscaled, non-HD source material, (as well as Silicon Optix�s HQV Benchmark discs, if possible,) input directly into each of the TV�s video inputs that you plan on using. Doing so should help you quickly assess the TV�s video and image processing performance as well as the TV�s ability to provide such video and image processing without incurring noticeable lip-sync error.

How high should sharpness level be set on lcd hdtv?

Q. We just had our LCD HDTV installed yesterday. It's a Samsung 40 inch. The HD channels look great. The non HD channels look good too but are a little blurry when up close to the TV. Will increasing the sharpness level make the picture more clear or is it the opposite? It was set up at 25% I increased it to 50% and I can't really tell if it's better or worse.
Thanks

A. It all depends on how noisy the signal is. If you have a really clean signal, you can run the sharpness up quite a bit before you'll see negative effects like edge ringing and graininess.

I'm getting my digital signal over-the-air (antenna) and the signal is so clean that I can max out the sharpness and it still looks great. I generally leave it at about 75%. I'm viewing the shows on an older non-HD CRT. The situation might well be different on an HD set.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What is the 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.

what LED hdtv should I buy to avoid noticing any Lag whatsover?

Q. Hi I have 2 Vizio HDTV. One is an LED and it is a 120 HZ and it is a 47 inch and the other is an LCD 47 inch one and also 120 hz. Now I am gonna give you a great example. You know for anyone who watches NBC Sunday Night Football and they go to the replay and the NBC Logo comes up to show the replay and after they show the replay the NBC Logs comes up again to go back to Live TV, well this is a great example because I notice somewhat of a lag when that happens and I see like a ghosting effect I guess and I also notice the pixels when that happens. It happens on other channels too but I notice it more on NBC Sunday Night Football. I have HD Directv with HDMI cable. So that isn't the problem. It is crazy because the other night I also watched the game on NFL Game Rewind app on the IPAD MINI and I didn't notice any lag whatsoever during the game. Is this lag or ghosting or whatever you want to call it caused by the response time of the TV or is it caused by the Refresh rate of the TV. I mean both of my Vizio TV's are doing the same thing and I even have a 3rd Sony 60 hz tv and it does it on that as well. So my questions are as follows:

1)Is the Lag caused by the Response Time or the Refresh Rate or what exactly?

2)Why is it on the IPAD Mini I didn't notice the lag?

3)I want the images to be crisp without any lag or ghosting or anything like that. What specifications on the TV should I look for?

4)For a 2013 say tv between a 30 to 39 inch what exact tv model do I look at to not see any lag etc?

5)How about a 40 to 50 inch TV which model should I look at?

6)Do I buy instead a monitor that is like 27 inch or 32 inch with an hdmi with a response time of say 1 ms. Please let me know.

Please answer each of my above 6 questions in details. Thanks.
For the Panasonic Plasma I should get a 1080P right rather than a 720P. The only problem that I have with Plasmas is that the picture is way too dim compared to the LED or LCD TV and I like a picture that is very bright. Please help. Thanks.

A. It's just a lag based on the distance of the TV and box from the satellite and just the broadcast in general. One of my family members had the same issue they have a 20 inch LED tv in their bedroom and a 32 inch LED tv in there living room. You can hear the TV's echo each other when on the same channel. Next the reason you didn't notice any lag on the iPad Mini is because it wasn't a live stream of it, it was a replay of what happened. So it's not looking for the live feed of the game over the internet, it's downloading it to the iPad's temporary memory just so it can play it through. This really isn't the TV at all VIZIO TV's are great options. This goes back to just DirecTV's ability to get the live video to the satellites and then to TV's across the US mainly. The only option would be to get a 240 Hz or 480 Hz HDTV but I really don't recommend that because those are mainly LCD TV's and LCD is probably the last option you want for a TV. LED is the best quality for a TV and LCD is better for a computer screen image. Overall for TV screen sizes you asked. The Best options are Samsung with there Smart HDTV's, Sharp's new IGZO display HDTV's, then Samsung is always reliable choice for HDTV's

Will the release of oled and 4k drop the price of regular tvs?

Q. hello, i was wondering if anyone in the tv sales or home theatre communities thought that with the release of oled (organic light emiting diode) or 4k resolution tvs sometime in 2013, that the price of tvs that aren't oled or 4k will drop much like standard definition tvs dropped in price when high def came out? In case your wondering im looking at the price of a Panasonic Viera Tcp50st30. THANK YOU

A. Yes the prices will go down, but not all of a sudden. Like all other electronics, the prices are constantly going down. Even when HDTVs came out, the prices on standard television didn't dropped overnight. Also, OLEDs TVs and 4k TVs are still a novelty, with only very pricey model are available to the general public. It will take 2-3 years to become mainstream and to challenge the plasma/lcd/led prices.

This is especially true if you want to buy a very specific model, like your case. If you are willing to wait that model would be when the new models will come out (so the stores need to sell their old stock). This is usually in the February-April time frame.

Trying to plan out a time to buy this HDTV...?

Q. The HDTV I want is the 32" Vizio VIA XVT Razor LED LCD 1080p 120Hz HDTV. I love everything about this TV. Even the price. It's perfect for my room. I don't need anything big. Have a 50 inch TV in the living room, so I'm fine. I vaguely remember my friend telling me that when the new year starts (2012), they put all the old/current TVs on sale, to get rid of them, so they can get some new TVs on the shelves. Is this true?

A. when replacement models with new features come available, yes the older stock is usually discounted... but that manufacturer might not release a new model every 6 months, or every year...

what is the acceptable level of contrast ratio in lcd tv?

Q. looking for a best deal lcd hdtv one offers 1000:1 contrast ratio and other offers 1600:1.

like to know if this makes any difference?

A. The quote contrast ratio by various brands are proven incorrect by "What Video" [a magazine with over 25 years of tv reviews and its own lab with unique equipment to test new TVs specifications]. For example, Samsung's new models has a qoute contrast ratio of 10000:1, where Panasonic Viera has only 3000:1, when compared, Panasonic's plasma has a much better contrast ratio. Grey scaling is another aspect when quoted, it's usually not acturate. Various brands try to boast their specifications to attract consumers, this is a undeniable true. Therefore when u are buying a HDTV, look for the brand. Sony, Panasonic are always in the top league of LCD tvs. Now a Panasonic TXL60 even has a built-in SD card slot for recording of TV programmes directly into the TV itself. U can save alot for a dvd recorder for that =). If u are very picky about the pictures and colors of a LCD TV, never look for other brands then Sony's Bravia and Panasonic. Trust me. =)

What to get, Plasma or LCD?

Q. Not sure what to purchase, new 3D Plasma HDTV or a 3D LED LCD HDTV?

A. Whether to get a plasma or led based lcd depends on your picture quality demands, budget, power requirements and design requirements.

Picture Quality: Plasma generates a picture by lighting a phosphor, where lcd's filter white light with a membrane. This gives plasma the edge in picture quality because the pixels generate the colors themselves. Also 3d is best on a plasma, since 3d cuts refresh rate by 50%.

LCD's often suffer from flash-lighting or clouding and make blacks look washed out. This is most noticeable on edge lit lcd's where the lights are in the corner of the screen. If you prefer LED for it's brightness and crispness you should definitely try to go for a local dimming LED tv. These tv's put the leds at the back of the screen and are able to shut off or dim in parts of the screen that are darker. These are a bit more expensive because they have 1300 leds opposed to 400 on edge lit tv's, but LG offers nice tv's that are based on local dimming that are affordable.

Viewing angle is best on plasma, edge lit led has horrible viewing angles, local dimming led's are better ( definitely with IPS panels ) but plasma wins here.

With regards to motion handling, plasma is still the best. LCD's got better and offer different Hz's to make the picture look smoother. (usually 120 or 240hz, higher uses a scanning backlight) Plasma uses a 600hz subfield drive system.

Plasmacells generate better colors in my opinion, but since they aren't able to completely shut off they will still leave a bit of a glow. Blacks are generally better than on lcd tv's, but there are local dimming sets that are actually beating plasma's now in terms of black level(~0.02ftl opposed to ~0.04ftl on newest plasma's). Plasma's are always better in shadow detail though because they offer per pixel control, where as a local dimming led has to cut the screen in small zones creating some spillover of light.

Budget: Plasma's offer more bang for the buck than led tv's, definately with regards to local dimming. A good 50" plasma tv is 1000-1500 dollars. A local dimming set is 1500-2000$. Edge lit lcd's generally suck. (Except samsung's top line with micro dimming plus) In the lower price segment you have more options with LED sets than in plasma, and cheap plasma's are often only 720p sets (1024x768 or 1366x768 resolution).

Power: Led tv's consume less power. Edge lit tv's use the least power.(around 100W) Then local dimming.(100-150W) Then plasma(250W average, a plasma uses less power on a dark screen). A plasma will cost you 30$ a year more on power on average.

Design: LED tv's generally look thinner and have better design. Plasma's got better though, and Samsung has introduced plasma's with an inch thinner bezel now for 2011.



I hope with this information you can make the right choice for you. If picture quality is the most important I personally prefer plasma but local dimming led's are also very good and some people prefer them. If powerconsumption or design is leading LED is the way to go. 2 recommended sets coming out around april: LG's LW7700 series for led based lcd or the Samsung D6500 plasma. They are both 3d enabled sets with active shutter glasses.

How Do You Hook Up an Old DVD Player to a new HDTV?

Q. I have an Toshiba 42" 1080p LCD HDTV REGZA, cable box and a DVD Player. I can't figure out how to hook up my DVD player to either my TV. My cable cords use the same cords slots as my DVD player.

A. Since you said your DVD player is old, I assume it does not have an HDMI output. If it had component video (Red, Green, Blue) then you need a component cable and you can connect it to the HDTV. You still need red and white audio (composite) to get the audio to your TV. If you do not have component output, then your only bet is composite (yellow for video, red and white for audio). HDTVs are intelligent enough to recognize all the inputs you plug into them.

How do I fix my HP LC3760N LCD HDTV when an intermittent green light is blinking instead of steady power on?

Q. I have an intermittent green light blinking on my HP LC3760N LCD HDTV where the power on light usually comes on. I fell asleep with my TV on during an electrical storm to find my TV in this condition. I have not been able to turn the TV on since, but the blinking green light comes on every time I plug the TV in. Is there a way to fix this problem without spending half the cost (1000/2=500) of the TV?

A. these new tvs are unreliable and fragile and generally only last 4-5 years before the back lighting goes, they don't tell you any of that or that the built-in tuners are obsolete since they cannot receive HD television, I hope it is under guarantee since most faults with these tvs are unrepairable or uneconomic to repair

When is the best time to buy a new tv? Before or after the Superbowl?

Q. Could someone give a brief overview of the differences between LED and HDTV? (I am thinking of purchasing something around 40 inches.)
Also, my purchase would not have to coincide with a Superbowl party. Do you think that prices would be better before or after the game? Or is there a better time of year to purchase a new televsion as new models are introduced?

A. There are 3 type of HDTV which popular in market now LCD HDTV, Plasma HDTV and LED HDTV.

Plasma uses gas plasma cells charged by precise electrical voltages to create a picture.

LCD screens (liquid crystal display) are in layman's terms sandwiches made up of liquid crystal pushed in the space between two glass plates. Images are created by varying the amount of electrical charge applied to the crystals

LED-backlit LCD television or LED TV is an LCD TV that uses LED backlighting rather than fluorescent lights used in traditional LCD televisions

Each technology have their pro & con, here are pro & con for your decision

Pros of Plasma
- Better contrast ratio
- better ability to render deep blacks, more color depth,
- better motion tracking (response time)
- more availability in very large screen sizes.

Cons of Plasma
- more susceptible to burn-in (although this is not as much of a factor now, due to technology improvements in the past few years)
- more heat generation (as well as more power consumption)
- screen glare in brightly lit rooms
- heavier weight, and more delicate to ship.
Good brand that I would recommend for Plasma is Panasonic or Samsung

Pros of LCD
- LCD television advantages include no burn-in susceptibility
- cooler running
- less screen glare, more functional at high altitudes
- longer display life (although improvements are being made in Plasma screen life)
- looks better in brightly lit rooms
- less power consumption than Plasma.
Cons of LCD
- Lower contrast ratio
- not as good rendering deep blacks
- not as good at tracking motion (although this is improving, especially with the implementation of 120Hz refresh rates (and some now offer 240Hz) on higher-end models).
Good brand for LCD that I would recommend is Samsung or Sony

Original Question

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hope this answers your question.

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.

A. Plasma and LCD both are good, go for the one the fits your budget.LED-LCD is just that in all LCD TVs there are backlights that lights the screen, and in non LED-LCD screens those where bulbs and in LED-LCD those are LEDs(Lighting Emitting Diodes).Which means advantages of LEDs over regular BULB.Which are low power consumption,Longer life,Sleeker TVs,Environment friendly as a result.

what is better tv make for lcd, Sony or Samsung? Who makes better plasmas besides Panasonic?

Q. Panasonic plasma's are dealing with a black level problem right now.

A. This can be tricky because depending on what size Sony you are looking at, you could be comparing Samsung to Samsung, Sony uses Samsung panels. If I remember correctly, at 46 inches and above, they use Sharp panels.

Panasonic is still the king of plasma since Pioneer went away. The black level problem does not (so far) affect the new 2010 infinite black panels from Panasonic. Actually the TVs don't have a black level problem in and of themselves, it's the way Panasonic chose to adjust the voltage and their estimation of how the panel would age, and require more voltage. Panasonic miscalculated and went too aggressive too soon.


I'm not sure why there is going to be no fix for these 2008/9 panels. I'm guessing that the fix is not an easy one, maybe not something that can be fixed with a firmware update. So if it's complicated, that means money, and if it costs too much, and only the die-hards at AVS forums are talking about it, I can see why Panasonic would just leave it be.

The other two really good plasmas are the new crop from Samsung and LG. The new Infinia plasmas from LG are probably the best looking, and the prices are not too bad. Now if Panasonic could make their panels look at good as the LG that would be something. Still hardly any reviews for all these new plasmas from all three makers, not sure why.

Original Question

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.
