What is a good 32" LCD HDTV?

Q. I am looking for a good quality 32" LCD TV. I would like it to be reasonably priced and include at least 1 HDMI input, 2 component inputs, and at least 1 composite input. It must be an HDTV. Does anyone have any suggestions?

A. Right now Olevia has a special running on the west coast on a 32"
�levia� 432V 32" Widescreen LCD HDTV/Monitor Combo at office depot
for $700.00 a good price for the system
HDMI compatible and i like the screen resolution
I use it for regular television, Xbox and can be utilized as a computer monitor as well.
so far so good i recommend it. enjoy!


What is the best 32 Inch LCD HDTV?
Q.

A. Panasonic VIERA C12 Series TC-L32C12 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV is one of the best TVs under $500 you can find on the market. I did a LOT of research looking for what I wanted in a TV. I've been wanting a nice flatscreen for a while now. I've been holding out as and quality has been improving while prices have been dropping. I finally settled on this Panasonic.

I wanted a TV for primarily movies (Hi Def and standard or upconverted Def) and video games (Hi Def and standard def). I do not have a cable subscription and am not interested in HD cable services. That being said, I also wanted a TV that would double as a humongous PC monitor. I'm pleased to say this TV meets and exceeds my needs so far. It's a big upgrade from the 20 inch tube TV I was using before the VIERA.

The LCD TV is nice looking and has a variety of cable inputs. Both the remote and menu systems are top-notch and useful. This TV puts out true 720p resolution and has 4:3 ratio (standard, full-frame) and zoom scaling as well. For TVs 32 inches and under, 1080p (while nice) is not necessary, as you'd be hard pressed to notice a dramatic difference with your HDMI or component sources. The picture is super sharp, and the image control available with this TV is pretty impressive. You can really play with the picture and color. I was laughing at the ability to essentially reproduce that 60's Technicolor supersaturation if you want. It really brings films to life. You can make up to 4 preset color choices, too- One for films, one for sports or live action TV, one for video games, one for kid's cartoons, etc, etc.
I would highly recommend this TV.

Would an LED or LCD HDTV be better?

Q. For gaming and blue ray.

A. First, unless it is an OLED, "LED" and LCD are the same thing. They both have LCD panels, the ones called just LCD have cold cathode fluorescent lamps for the backlight, LED obviously uses LEDs for the backlight.

And there is no "E" in Blu-ray Disc, which is the proper spelling and capitalization.

What is more important is the panel type, like TN, VA, or IPS. A spec they usually don't specify. A VA or IPS panel with fluorescent backlight is better than a TN with LED backlight. that said my Vizio M260MV is an LED edge type backlit TN 1080p LCD and I love it for Blu-ray and gaming. I typed this on it as my computer monitor.


HDTV for video games?
Q. I haven't been able to find the lag rate for TV's so i figured I'd just ask you guys. I'm getting really really antsy, i haven't had a tv for months and im tempted to buy the LG 42LV4400 42-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED-LCD.... http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005JK01GO?m=ATVPDKIKX0DER
Does anyone have it, and can they vouch for gaming experience with it (sound,visuals, lag).

A 46in Samsung LED for $800 was my ideal and after missing this deal (http://dealnews.com/Samsung-46-120-Hz-1080-p-LED-Backlit-LCD-HDTV-for-800-free-shipping-/470443.html#similar) I've been trying to hold out for it again but I'm not sure if I'm gonna make it much longer

A. you wont find a lag rate for tv's due to it does NOT exist,,

some lcd/led tv's motion blur when playing fast action based games and there is NO cure while plasma tv's do NOT

if your thinking of buying a tv for playing games your better off getting a panasonic plasma tv,,

Sometimes my new 37 inch vizio lcd hdtv gets noticeably darker and brighter.?

Q. Sometimes my new 37 inch vizio lcd hdtv gets noticeably darker and brighter. is it the commercials or my tv.
ok first of all i got my tv about 3 days ago and i dont have my hdtv cable box yet.
so when i turned on my tv it scaned channels and now i have channels 2 - like 100. but thats because i dont have a cable box in my room yet so im stuck with that.
now i get channels like 4 for nbc and 4-1 for nbc but its picture is nicer but unlike the channel 704 on my cable box that has the tag nbchd it only says nbc.
on the other hand somethimes when i watch commercials i notice that in the commercail the tv gets a little brighter and darker. is it the commercials or is it that i am just running a normal analog wire from my wall for ''hd'' channels instead of the composite wires that are from the cable box.
please replay asap because im getting a ps3 & hdmi cable on friday and i am going to have a movie night and i dont want the brightness going darker and brighter when we are watching the movie (bluray). so should i go to costco and replace it or will the "HD" (composit for cable box and hdmi for ps3) cables improve it.

A. My toshiba did that also when i got it.On the toshiba the setting is called dynalight.Not sure what it would be on a vizio but it brightens darker scenes etc.I did not like it at all.Even with a converter it will continue.You will have to find that setting and turn it off.Always write down what all settings are called and are set at before you change anything.


Is Dynex HDTVS a Good Brand?
Q. I just bought a 40inch 1080p LCD 60Hz Dynex. I only play video games on my xbox 360 with it. Does anyone know anything about dynex and if there a good brand. Ok another thing if im playing a 720p game should i put my tv on 720p or leave it on 1080p? What would be better for motion blur and other things.

A. It's a great set. It has a higher customer rating than vizio. It's a 60 Hz set, you if you have lag turn the DRC off in the advanced picture settings. Insignia and Dynex are Best Buys house brands to compete with the walmart, costcos, and sams clubs. It's a bargain set which bang for the buck, it's great!

question about plasma/lcd HDTV ?

Q. Iam planning to put my 32 inch widescreen plasma/lcd HDTV in storage this month, i was concerned if the cold would hurt it any if it got too cold, i had planned on covering it up with cloth and plastic bags to help protect against the cold and moisture getting inside the unit, but i wondered if it got say 10 degrees outside while my tv was in the storage unit if it would damage the tv where the tv is either plasma or lcd, from what i understand those tv's have liquid inside them.

A. Somewhere in its docs (on-line if you don't have them handy) it should list operating and storage temperature ranges. A 32" LCD I just bought says storage range -4 to 140 degrees F (-20 to 60 degrees C). Liquid crystals get very slow while cold, which I noticed when I took off an LCD watch at night when camping in sub-freezing weather.

I'm looking for a new HDTV,I wanted an LCD, but I want a TV larger than 60 inches. What do you recommend?

Q. If there is an LCD HDTV that is 60 inches to 65 inches that would be great, but I also want a quality TV. Are there any HDTVs over 60 inches? If not which would be my next best choice? Anything smaller would just not be suitable in my living room because the TV is far from everything else. Thanks in advance

A. There are several 60- to 65-inch flat-panel LCD HD monitors and TVs available (see the HDTV Solutions resource listed below.) However, other than Sharp�s LC65D64U and Olevia�s 265T FHD HDTVs, they are quite expensive, especially when compared to the more cost-effective, large screen alternatives such as plasma displays and front projection systems.

Within a fairly reasonable price range for the 57- to 65-inch class of flat panel displays I recommend that you give strong consideration to models from Panasonic (model TH-58PZ800U) and Pioneer (models PRO-151FD or PDP-6010FD.) As a distant choice you may want to take a look at the Samsung PN63A650 and PN58A650 plasma HDTVs, perhaps even models from Hitachi and LG Electronics.

For close to the price of a high quality, high performance, large screen flat-panel (plasma) display you can purchase a much more versatile, arguably better performing, front projector IF you have the ability to reasonably control the ambient light in your viewing environment. If you choose to go this route then you will have a multitude of good, cost-effective choices that will allow you to obtain a high quality, theater-like video image in the 65- to 100-inch size range. My top choice/recommendation is JVC�s DLA-RS2U D-ILA (LCoS) projector followed by JVC�s DLA-RS1X and DLA-HD100 D-ILA projectors with honorable mention going to Sony�s VPL-VW60 (great performer but not much light output hence a smaller-than-average screen size is best) and Epson�s Home Cinema 1080 UB and Pro Cinema 1080 UB 3LCD projectors. There are also several good (single-chip) DLP projectors that may also be worth considering particularly if ambient light control is an issue, in which case you should take a close look at Optoma�s impressive HD81-LV projector. It�s also worth noting that several of these home theater projectors can be used with an aftermarket anamorphic lens/prism attachment* (Schneider Optics, Panamorph, or the do-it-yourself CAVX Aussiemorphic Lens kit) to project an immersive, theater-like 2.35:1 video image when watching movies.

There is one notable drawback with a projection system, especially if you will be using such a system for all of your day-to-day television viewing, and that is the cost of maintenance; specifically the cost of periodic relamping. If you are able to keep your viewing environment sufficiently light-free, thereby allowing you to run the projector more conservatively in terms of light output, then you may be able to extend the relamping intervals saving yourself money.

Is this 65" too pricy?
Q. I saw this mad cool 65" aquos LCD HDTV.
So i called 6th Avenue to ask them for a quote and they said
$5,500. This TV looks pretty good but i'm not really sure about the price. Do you think this is a good quote?

Or if it's not where could i get a similar 55"-65" tv for a better price?

p.s. My cousin works at 6th avenue so i might get some sort of discount or something..

Link-- http://www.6ave.com/shop/product.aspx?sku=SHPLC65D64U

A. The first poster is correct, you can shop around for a bit better price. In this size range, you should also consider a plasma. Generally, they are cheaper once you get up to this size. Finally, rear projection sets are definitely cheaper once you start talking about 65 inches.

A. The Final Word on HDTV by J.-

If you enjoy throwing $6400 out of the window of your car, then by all means, buy the plasma tv. If youre looking for a decent tv that will last your for a very long time, go with the LCD. While, plasma screen tvs do have a slightly better picture quality than LCDs, their(plasma) lifespans are only about 7-8 years, maximum. Most only last 5-6 years. Some people will try to bullsh** you by saying "Well, they havent been out for that long, how would you know." Well, I know, and so do the people that manufacture them, and so do the people that own them. Another point that you can make is the PS2/other game systems problem, on a plasma tv, if you leave a game system on for an extended period of time, images will become burned into the plasma screen. LCDs, while bulkier, do not have these problems. To me, people that own plasma screen tvs are just like the idiots who own hybrid cars, the only reason they buy them is so that they brag about it to their friends, in the event that the yuppie a-holes even have any. To be simple about it, if want to buy a good Hi-Def tv without spending a small fortune go with the LCD. If you have a couple of extra bucks to spend, I'd recommend DLP, but thats another story.

Now thats out of the way, if youre absolutely hell-bent on getting LCD screen then you have to go with Sony, no questions asked. I think that the vega gives you the biggest bang for your buck, but check it out, at this point in time theres not a huge cost difference between models, general speaking. In any event you want to make sure that you get a Sony. Next, having all of the HD monitors in the world won't do you a damn bit of good unless you have HDTV service. Below are your options:
Cable TV: Absolutely sucks. High cost, crappy picture quality and rather small amount of HD programming even available. Upside: Its HDTV for dummies, your ignorance is your bliss.

DirecTV: Excellent picture and quality at a decent price, however even DirecTV doesnt have a whole of programming in the way of HDTV. Also, I'm not a big fan of their HD technology, but thats just me talking, I'm kind of, well actually, very picky when it comes to TV.

Dish Network: At this point in time, Dish is probably the primo way to go for HDTV. They have excellent receivers/equipment at a fairly modest cost but more importantly they have more HD programming available than any one else on the Planet Earth. I shouldnt be saying this, given the fact that my cousin owns a DirecTV franchise, but what the hell do you care?

These are all options to mull over, but don't be an idiot when it comes to spending money on your TV setup. I promise, if you follow my advise you'll be more than happy.

-J.


What are LCD HDTV?
Q. I know what HDTVs are...but some HDTV doesn't have LCD. What's LCD?

A. LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display. It's one of the few technologies used for making displays/monitors/TVs. Other technologies include Plasma, Cathode Ray Tube (CRT), Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED), Projection, and a few others not yet ready for consumers.

As opposed to HDTV, which simply means any display with 1280x720 resolution or higher, usually with a digital TV tuner (but not necessarily a HD tuner).

So an LCD HDTV would be a Liquid Crystal Display with a resolution of 1280x720 or higher.

getting new LCD HDTV?

Q. most ppl say plasma is bad, why?
im getting a new one its 37''. HDTV and its LCD.
my friend said its bad to play games on LCDs, it mess it up?

A. all these technologies have different properties, so in a nutshell.

Plasma, bad if you in high altitude (color distortion, only a big deal if you like me in Colorado) most expensive per sq inch, but under the right condition can have the best colors. but if you want least cost for most sq inch, this is not the way to go.

LCD is the same technology in computer screen. When you get into large area's say 25sq inch, it becomes a lot of processing to get fluid movement without goasting. (more noticeable in video games). and dead pixels and other things are a factor (fragile and expensive, but you can get high resolution)

LCD projection; . LCD projection works kinda like a little projector but instead of going onto the wall it goes onto a screen inside the tv. Making it the cheapest to make, While still being 1080p at 50inch you can still get a tv for under 1500. so other pluses is it is the lightest, (easly moved with one person) good for being a gamer taking it places all the time, And pretty durable. some can be dim and some people do question the quality but just be sure you like how it looks before you by. and for the price you cant beat it.


Element 37" LCD HDTV, $599.99, from circuit city, good or bad?
Q. I'm looking at buying a lcd tv, this will be my first lcd. I need some feedback from people who actually hav this tv in there home. I'm really not sure what a good tv choice will be. I kno some tv's hav issues and some don't, regardless of the brand. I just need a little help....?

A. Element is NOT a good tv. If you are purchasing a 37" tv and want a good picture and good reliability, then expect to pay minimum $800-850. Your more reliable brands and better picture quality will come from LG and Sony first, then Mitsubishi and Toshiba, then Samsung and Panasonic and Sharp. Do not be fooled or led astray. Read most the questions in this forum from people wondering why their off-brand tv is broken already even though it isn't very old. I own 2 LG 37" models that sell for $1099. They make another model for $999 and their low-end model(still SOOO much better than the other brands) is $899. The $899 model is only 720p, which still isn't bad, BUT the step up model 37LG50 has about 20% more contrast, is 1080p, an extra hdmi input(3 total), a USB input for digital pics and music, and the BIGGIE is intelligent sensor auto calibration system. The next step up 37LG60 is the newer version of mine. It is the best 37" and has 70% more contrast, a 4th hdmi and all have deep color, the response time goes from 5ms to only 2.7, and you get trumotion 120hz (120 frames per second instead of 60 like on the other models). That makes a big difference in video games and sports.

The better brands are SO much less likely to have service problems. Please don't fall victim to the low-end Chinese junk brands.

Is VIZIO a good brand of LCD HDTV?

Q. I have $1500 budget to buy an HDTV, I prefer LCD 1020. I cannot decide which brand to choose.. SONY VIZIO or SAMSUNG?? Psl help me decide. Im looking for 40 in size.

A. Vizio is a third-tier brand. Parts are shipped from China made by other companies and they are assembled in LA and sold as 'house brands' in discount stores.

There is no repair service, quality on same model units varies a lot, etc.

The low prices ARE attractive but if it breaks - plan on tossing it and buying another.

Just below your post is another user who suddenly has lost video after leaving her Vizio on for 8 hours by accident.

While I am not a fan of service contracts - it might be a wise invesment for Vizio, Lutron, Dynex, Westinghouse, Robi, etc. brands.


what brand of lcd hdtv has the best repair history?
Q. I'm looking to buy a 52 inch LCD TV. What brand is most reliable? Also, what accessories do I need? Some people recommend the UPS instead of the expensive power surge protector.

A. Don't go by a single brand for your decision. You should look at specific models. Every brand makes stronger and weaker models. You want to get a good middle to high end model to best ensure you're getting the best parts.

All of the big name brands are going to be fairly comparable though reliability wise. Look to Panasonic (if you consider Plasma), Samsung, Sony, and LG. I think a set from any of those will serve you well from day of purchase until you're ready to buy again.

You likely want an HDMI cable, or two. Stick with no-name, generic brands. There are loads of consumer reports that have show the generic brands provide 100% equal quality as the big name, expensive options. Look to computer stores or online at like amazon.com, monoprice.com, bluejeanscable.com, etc. for good cheap cables. There's no need to spend more than $15 on a cable unless you're buying something of extreme length.

A UPS is handy to have sure, but we're not talking about needing to save documents here. UPS is good for a computer so the machine doesn't just turn off in a power outage. On your TV you just want to be worried about surge, so a good protector there is good enough really. Unless maybe the electricity in your area is really bad, in which case a UPS that also conditions the electricity might well be worth the investment.

which is better: HDTV,plasma, LED or LCD?

Q. please give reasons why either is better

A. LCD is best I think. Thats what I got. 54 in.

Why? well, We were going to get a 55 in led, because they look amazing. But after we saw a demonstration, the colors are not real at all, and everything looks photoshoped, and animated. Well, as some might like that, I don't. I'd like to see things the way they are. The led colors arent true, and if you don't need an extremely thin tv, then lcd is perfect.

Plasma has glare where lcd doesn't. In plasma, if you leave one image on for too long, you may burn in the picture into your screen, which won't go away.

I guess people like different things, I chose LCD, and I love it. Still can't get enough of the great 54in quality from the latest Sony Bravia.

hope I answered your question.

Have a good day ; )


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

The World's Smallest "HDTV"
March 10, 2006 at 04:33 PM in Weird Gadgets



What happens when Mother Nature takes out your TV with a bolt of lightning? In my case I decided to check Amazon to see if there were any good deals going. While in the HDTV section I stumbled across the Liliput LCD Monitor, which at first glance kinda looks like a HDTV set. If you keep crickets or Sea Monkeys for pets this 1.8 inch screen would make them very happy indeed.

I'm moving on to questions in another topic, bye.


Do hertz matter on a smaller hdtv?
Q. I plan on buying an HDTV (1080p 60hz) that's 22 inches from Amazon for about 200 bucks. I know that hertz matter for fast paced movement on television, but can you really notice the lack of hertz on a smaller tv (22 inches)? Thanks peeps.

A. - Top brands: Panasonic (Plasma) and Samsung (LED). (Plasma > LED > LCD). (LCD is going to be discontinued. A LCD tv uses cold cathode fluorescent lamps/CCFL backlights. A LED tv is a LCD tv, but with white or red, green, blue LEDs on the edge of the screen or a full array on the back of the screen).
= Plasma has best picture and audio quality (best response times, best viewing angle, best color quality, less/no motion blur for crisp/clear images because how it's refresh rate works). Newer Plasmas have improved their burn issues by using pixel shifting/scrolling. LCD/LED is best for bright rooms and have most light coming off the screen (Plasmas are not great for bright rooms because of screen glare and faded whites, but do great for dim or dark rooms). Newer Plasmas use less energy consumption and they are cheap to buy. LED are more popular because the manufacturers want to sell you their LED expensive tvs rather than their cheap Plasmas.

- I recommend 1920x1080p for movies, computer monitor/display, some tv shows, and some game console games and I recommend 1280x720p for some tv shows and some game console games. I recommend 40+ inches for movies and/or tv shows and 20-30 inches for computer monitor and 30-40+ inches for game console games.
- FPS (frames per second): Every video consists of a number of frames per second, think of a video as a fast moving flip book. NTSC countries use 60i or 30i FPS (newer stations use 30p or 60p FPS) for tv shows. PAL/SECAM countries use 50i or 25i FPS (newer stations use 25p or 50p FPS) for tv shows. Movies use 24p/25p/30p FPS (first movie to use 48p was LOTR: The Hobbit). Games use anywhere to 2 to 120 FPS (older games use lower FPS while newer games use higher FPS, usually they are up to 60 FPS today).
- TV refresh rate (measured in hz): Example, A tv with a refresh rate of 120 hz means it refreshes/flashes the entire screen 120 times a second.

- How do LED or LCD tv refresh rates work with the FPS of a video? (I recommend real/true 240hz refresh rate, some tv advertising may fool you by listing the fake interpolation or fake backlight scanning/dimming refresh rates).
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_interpolation (Names of the new technologies for newer tv's at the link): Motion Interpolation or Motion Compensated Frame Interpolation (MCFI), is a form of video processing in which new fake frames are generated between existing ones to up the FPS of a video to reduce motion blur and/or for judder removal/judder adjustment. MCFI video processing may cause gamer input lag and/or artifacts such as the soap opera effect (may ruin the look of a video).
- Many tv's allow viewers to turn motion interpolation (MCFI) off. The tv repeats the frames a certain number of times to match the tv's refresh rate. Example; To display 24 frames per second on a tv with a 120 hz refresh rate, each frame is repeated 5 times every 24th of a second.
- But what happens if the FPS of a video does not match the refresh rate of the tv? Then you get a pulldown, a pulldown is what causes a jittery screen (aka judder) because the tv repeats the odd frames a different amount of times the tv repeats the even frames. Example; A 3:2 pulldown is post popular because it is needed to match a 24 fps video with a 60hz refresh rate tv, odd frames are repeated 3 times (12x3=36) and even frames are repated 2 times (12x2=24) and 36+24=60 FPS for a 60hz refresh rate tv.

How does Plasma tv refresh rates work with the FPS of a video?
- It will take each pixel in a frame and and repeat it a number of times based on the number of sub-field drives (SFD) the tv has with it's refresh rate. Example 1; (NTSC countries) 600hz sub-field drive/motion tv means 60hz FPS x 10 sub-fields per frame = 600hz refresh rate. Example 2; (PAL/SECAM countries) 600hz sub-field drive/motion tv means 50hz FPS x 12 sub-fields per frame = 600hz refresh rate.
- What is focused-field drive (FFD) on Neo-Plasmas? (Light switching speed = better colors and less motion blur) 2500hz focused field drive means sub-fields are virtually packed into 1/2500th of a second as a sharp impluse, creating crisp motion images even in very very fast movining images (FFD is defined as a inverse of light emission period t. 1/t = 1/0.4ms = 2,500 FFD). Regular sub-feild drives like 50 FPS x 12 sub-fields = 600 hz, light emission spreads as wide as 1 field time (1/60th sec) maximum which results in blurry images for very very fast moving images.
- Refresh rates on Plasmas work similar to LED/LCD tv's. These settings are usually automatic, but you can change them in the advanced picture settings, Example 1; 2D 24p FPS mode and choose refresh rates of 48hz/96hz or 30hz/60hz with pulldown (might use interpolation frames for pulldowns), Example 2; 3D mode and choose refresh rates of 96hz for 24 FPS or 100hz for 50 FPS or 120hz for 60 or 24 fps.ect Of course it has gamer mode or many other adjustments.

Using a HDTV as a computer monitor?

Q. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Sharp+-+42%26%2334%3B+Class+/+LCD+/+1080p+/+60Hz+/+HDTV/3142087.p?skuId=3142087&id=1218379763676

As a doorbuster special on Black Friday, that TV will be $199.99 and I figure I would be a moron if I didn't pick that up. I would be using it for a gaming console for awhile, which is no problem, but around income tax time I plan on building myself a gaming computer, and I figure that rather than buy an expensive monitor I would just use this TV as a monitor, assuming this TV has the capability.

Now I know nothing about what would be required to do this. What sort of cables/adapters should I look for, assuming they're necessary at all? Will I need to take the specs of my computer into consideration at all?
The TV does have 4 HDMI inputs. So is that all I would need? HDMI ran from my computer to the TV?

A. Look on the back of your graphics cards. Is it blue. if so that is vga. If it is a tan color that is dvi.
you would need to get a dvi-hdmi connector
like the one found here

Whats the better deal on tvs?
Q. I'm looking for a small flat screen tv. I want a great picture and I want it to be cheap. I saw Best Buy has two black friday deals..
Option #1: Sharp 42" Class LCD 1080p HDTV..for $199....
Option #2: Dynex 24" Class LCD 1080p HDTV for $79.
Twenty four inches would be big enough for me, but does Dynex make good tv's? I also saw Walmart had several deals:
Option #3: Emerson 40" LCD tv..$248
Option #4: Samsung 32" LCD..$278
Option #5: Emerson 32": LCd..$188

As you can see.. I have too many options. Let me know which one I should get and why.

A. All the tvs you have looked at are the bargain price tv. They do not last long and would not recommend any of them. If you read yahoo questions, you will notice that 95% of tv problems comes from those bargain price tv. Keep in mind, you get what you pay for. Panasonic and Samsung are the top brand for reliability. Hope this will help you out.

Sony Bravia LCD HDTV?
Q. In Sony Bravia LCD HDTV, can you record/save shows to watch it some other time? I mean..um....Suppose::: My favorite show, is on now,,,but I can't watch it now,,and nor I want to miss it,,,So i wanna to save (record) it, so I could watch it some other time!
And if I can record the shows,,,,does my tv has to be open!
PLZ GIVE ME INSTRUCTION!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I realized its just Sony Bravia HDTV,,,not LCD!
Does it make any difference?

A. A TV is just a TV, and its only purpose is to show pictures and make sound. To record a TV program, you need a recorder. A recorder is a separate thing from your TV.

What you need is a digital video recorder (DVR), which is a device that records TV shows onto a hard drive. The best-known example of a DVR is a TiVO unit, which is a box with a hard drive in it that can record TV programs.

If you have cable TV or satellite TV service, you can get a set-top box with a DVR. It will cost you an extra fee, of course, usually about $10-15 per month more. Contact your cable (or satellite) company for more information.

If you get off-the-air TV, your only choice is an off-the-air DVR such as the DTVPal. There is a version of the DTVPal marketed by Channel Master called the CM-7000PAL. These units have a built-in hard drive and can record perfect digital TV from an off-the-air source.

Hope that helps!

Edit: Actually, it probably is a liquid crystal display (LCD) TV, since most big screen TVs are. That doesn't make a difference, though... it's still just a TV and not a recorder. A recorder is a separate device that you will have to get to work with your TV. If you get the right recorder/DVR, it will simply plug into your TV with a cable or two. There's no need to open up the TV.

Are all 120hz LCD HDTVs compatible with shutter style 3d glasses?

Q. Are the new 3d TVs that are coming out this year completely 3d or do they also utilize the shutter style 3d glasses?

A. Yes to both of your statements. The new 3D TVs being rolled out currently, and their companion glasses, are both active-shutter technology.

Other formats will be forthcoming--one manufacturer is working on a dual polarization technology that will require another type of special glasses. Way down the road, the advent of OLED displays will make 3D possible with either no glasses or very simple ones.

But for now, your choice is limited to active-shutter sets and glasses.

There is a downside to the active-shutter glasses that the advertisers aren't telling everyone. When you're wearing them, the only thing you can look at is the TV screen while it is showing 3D. If you look around the room during a program, you'll see a very annoying chopped image that you won't like.


Do 3D movies work on LCD HDTVs?
Q. If so, do they work for all of them?

I'm not entirely sure if my TV accepts 120hz signals, or if it just sort of "fakes" it. I have it connected to my PC and there is no 120hz option available.

A. It is hard to say at this point because the whole home 3d thing is still up in the air. At the Computer Electronics Show this week companies will be having the 3d technology they will make available later this year or next for consumers. 120 hz is the refresh rate that is said to be used for it so far. They may come out with a converter box that can go with a 120 hz television that is not necessarily labeled 3d ready. I had the old field sequential 3d system that worked with the CRT televisions. It used the 100 hz that they used.

Should I go with 1080p vs. 720p LCD HDTV?
Q. I am purchasing a 37 in. LCD TV and the price difference between 1080p and 720p is $200.00. Is it worth it?

A. If your TV is 40inches and under, 1080p (Depending on viewing distance) will not look a lot better than 720p. Any TV bigger than 40 inches will notice an increase from 720p to 1080p. (Again depending on viewing distance)

If you have a 720p TV you may or may not be able to view a 1080p source. Not all 720p TV will accept a 1080p source, most will only accept a 1080i source. And if your TVs Native Resolution is only 720p, there is no point in running a 1080i signal, because the TV will just convert it to 720p anyways.

I wouldn't be able to really choose which is better by looking at all of them in the shop. Not all of them receive HD signals, so some of the Tvs look like standard tvs...

I won't be able to figure a difference if some are in HD and some are in standard.
Also, how would the quality change if they both have the same amount of pixels?

If the tvs have the same amount of pixels but are different brands, shouldn't they still have a clear, sharp display?

A. Hi, I have been researching on HDTV over the year. Seriously speaking, Sony and Panasonic are always in the top league of the LCD tvs. Any of their models can win any brands of LCD easily. However, things seems to have changed, Samsung seems to have break through on its new R74BD series as it squeezes into the Top 3 of the LCD brands in "What Video". "What Video", a HDTV magazine with over 25 years of tv reviewing history, with its own lab and its unique equipment, they test the TRUE specification of almost every models of HDTV there's in the market. Since u only asks about LCDs in your question, I will suppose that u understands their differences and will only talk about LCD tv here. =)

First I would like to highlight that, never believe in the stats that the brands claimed except for the resolution. Gradution[Grey Scaling, or also called black levels], contrast ratio and brightness of the tv, are always boast by the brands. When tested in "What Video" a Panasonic plasma with 3000:1 claimed contrast ratio seems to have much better ratio than a Samsung plasma with 10,000:1 claimed contrast ratio. Trust me, only look at the brands and resolution when looking for a HDTV. =)

Secondly, never listen to what a saleman recommend, they only recommend those tvs with higher comission for them to u.

Lastly I would say that different brands surpass others in different way. Panasonic, a brand that ALWAYS produce tvs with AMAZING black levels, easily surpass ALL brands of tv in the black level aspect. Motion artefact is definitely not a problem to Panasonic too, they handle that very well. However, Panasonic Tvs still slightly losses to Sony's when compare to sharpness. But it's up to u that whether u decide to have a sharper image with some motion artefacts, or one with almost no motion artefact but with a slightly inferior in its sharpness. Oh and btw, Panasonic's color is slightly better/more natural than Sony's too. To make it short, NEVER buy any LCD tvs besides Sony, Panasonic, Loewe, Toshiba* and Samsung*. Their tests result are the best among so many brands.

*only their new models are good-Toshiba WLT66 and Samsung R74BD series.

Oh and keep in mind if u want totally future proof your tv, look for 1920x1080 resolution which supports up to 1080p. There isn't much tvs with 1920x1080 resolution which supports up to 1080p in the market yet. So here's some recommendation from me(but they are not 1080p compatible). =)

Toshiba WLT66 - Take this if u prefer its price n design, its a decent one with a resolution of 1920x1080, it doesn't support 1080p though. Strange huh. Not recomended if u still watching SD signals.

Any Sony's Bravia Series-They are consider "Godly" in the LCD league. I heard that's one that supports 1080p is out recently. But its review is not out yet, can't tell u how good it is now. =)

Panasonic LXD50/60-It has a built-in recorder if I remember correctly. Panasonic's black levels are always unbeatable. Its motion is almost perfect without any noise too.

Samsung R74BD-Its a decent LCD tv, it might not be as good as Panasonic and Sony, but it definitely wins them in its price! It's VERY cheap considering this is a good LCD tv. Check out its price in your country. =)

Edit after tm_mcdnnll has posted below:

What tm_mcdnnll said "Never having anything to do with the manufacturing" is definitely not true. Why is it only LG's LCD has the XD Engine? Why is it Panasonic is the only one having Viera Color Management? Why only some brands has the Ambient Light Control? Why is it Philips the only one that has the Pixal Plus Technology? Those above are only part of the examples. HOW one brand makes a LCD is very important. Although we didn't know HOW they make it, but still the fact that different brands produced different "quality" of LCDs using same chipsets from the same company is definitely true. Therefore brand is really very important. Get a copy of "What Video" if u wish to know more. =)


Looking for customer reviews for Panasonic VIERA C12 Series TC-L32C12 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV?
Q. Where can I find reviews and opinions online for Panasonic VIERA C12 Series TC-L32C12 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV

A. Price: $399.99
You Save: $149.96 (27%)

In Stock.
Ships from and sold by J&R Music and Computer World.

This TV was just recently released as of the time of this review, and it's one of the best TVs under $500 you can find on the market. I did a LOT of research looking for what I wanted in a TV. I've been wanting a nice flatscreen for a while now. I've been holding out as and quality has been improving while prices have been dropping. I finally settled on this Panasonic.

I wanted a TV for primarily movies (Hi Def and standard or upconverted Def) and video games (Hi Def and standard def). I do not have a cable subscription and am not interested in HD cable services. That being said, I also wanted a TV that would double as a humongous PC monitor. I'm pleased to say this TV meets and exceeds my needs so far. It's a big upgrade from the 20 inch tube TV I was using before the VIERA.

The LCD TV is nice looking and has a variety of cable inputs. Both the remote and menu systems are top-notch and useful. This TV puts out true 720p resolution and has 4:3 ratio (standard, full-frame) and zoom scaling as well. For TVs 32 inches and under, 1080p (while nice) is not necessary, as you'd be hard pressed to notice a dramatic difference with your HDMI or component sources. The picture is super sharp, and the image control available with this TV is pretty impressive. You can really play with the picture and color. I was laughing at the ability to essentially reproduce that 60's Technicolor supersaturation if you want. It really brings films to life. You can make up to 4 preset color choices, too- One for films, one for sports or live action TV, one for video games, one for kid's cartoons, etc, etc.

There is 1 stuck pixel on the TV. This is to be expected, and is not noticeable unless you're looking for stuck or dead pixels from about 18 inches away. I cannot see the pixel when watching, though, only when I'm up close on the screen. This is not an issue at all. You cannot pick out 1 dead pixel on a TV of this resolution. 1 out of over 1 million pixels, the rest are flawless.

I've just gotten this, and haven't fully tested all the bells and whistles, like the SD card port or the VIERA Link HDMI software (waiting for 1080p media player, coming in the mail). PC to TV was effortless and looked great. Even my old PS2 looked pretty good, albeit jaggy. I think that's more the game than the TV, though.

I almost went and got a $300 or $375 no-name tv at Walmart or Target, but I'm glad I paid a bit more for a higher-quality product. This Panasonic is really, really, well built, and is a near-perfect 32 inch TV. I'm more than happy with my purchase. As I test it out more, I plan to update this review, but so far, I'm loving it! This Panasonic is a great TV at an affordable price point, and 32 inches is perfect for most small to medium sized rooms.

Also, if you have any specific questions, post 'em and I'll do my best to answer.

**UPDATE**

I've had the TV for a while now and still love it. I got an upconverting Sony DVD player (model DVPNS710HB ) that puts out 480p, 720p, and 1080i upconverts of standard DVDs. I bought a $3 HDMI cable from buy.com (skip the $100 monster cables, trust me) and the picture is fantastic. The trick is that since the TV displays 720p, by switching the DVD player to send the data in 720p, you get a native resolution that lets the image look its best on the TV. While the TV has a scaler built in, having the DVD player scan and scale and then transmit via HDMI produces a signifigantly clearer picture. Some of the DVDs I have that were shot on digital video look very, very close to HD programming. My digitally remastered James Bond DVDs also look signifigantly better than through a component DVD player. I was impressed.

As for the other features- the SD card reader is too slow for my tastes. It takes a few seconds to load each picture. Of course, I have a VGA connector hooked up, so its much more convenient to load the pictures to my PC and view them thru windows. HQ images look AMAZING on this TV, though. I had always shot digital pictures at high resolutions, but couldn't really see them as they were meant to be seen, only having a 15 inch LCD. With the new TV as my monitor, my pictures now look 100 times better.

Another cool feature- through Viera Link, the HDMI Sony DVD player works with the Panasonic remote- no programing needed. I simply went into the Viera Link menu and selected the HDMI DVD player, now my DVD player will start and stop when I power on the TV and I can control it all from my TV remote. Very cool.

I'll post some more updates if I have anything else to say or if anyone has any questions.

A good lcd hdtv?

Q. Looking for a 32'' under $800

http://tinyurl.com/2hm3e8

or maybe

http://tinyurl.com/3xnksp

thoughts?

A. It is wrong to say that an LCD will not last longer than a plasma, actually it is quite the opposite. A plasma tends to shadow a lot more than a LCD. I bought a 37" LCDTV from Best buy about 2 months ago and couldn't be any happier. It cost me only 750$. Thought it is a BestBuy brand tv, it is made with the same exact parts as its poloroid counterpart. It is call an Insignia. The tv has given me no problems, and has a beautiful picture both in SD and HD. I also play video games on it on my XBOX360 and it doesn't show very much blur either like most inexpensive no name brand Tv's. The refresh rate is about the same as any other TV in its price range no matter the size and has a great vibrant and colorfull picture.


getting new LCD HDTV?
Q. most ppl say plasma is bad, why?
im getting a new one its 37''. HDTV and its LCD.
my friend said its bad to play games on LCDs, it mess it up?

A. all these technologies have different properties, so in a nutshell.

Plasma, bad if you in high altitude (color distortion, only a big deal if you like me in Colorado) most expensive per sq inch, but under the right condition can have the best colors. but if you want least cost for most sq inch, this is not the way to go.

LCD is the same technology in computer screen. When you get into large area's say 25sq inch, it becomes a lot of processing to get fluid movement without goasting. (more noticeable in video games). and dead pixels and other things are a factor (fragile and expensive, but you can get high resolution)

LCD projection; . LCD projection works kinda like a little projector but instead of going onto the wall it goes onto a screen inside the tv. Making it the cheapest to make, While still being 1080p at 50inch you can still get a tv for under 1500. so other pluses is it is the lightest, (easly moved with one person) good for being a gamer taking it places all the time, And pretty durable. some can be dim and some people do question the quality but just be sure you like how it looks before you by. and for the price you cant beat it.

Sony vs RCA.... 32" LCD TV... which is a better tv?

Q. I have the option to recieve a 32" sony bravia L series lcd or a RCA 32" lcd televsion. My previous 57" projection tv was a sony and it is only 7 years old and needs to be replaced and as replacement my two options are: another sony(which i am not too impressed with) or a RCA. Which is the best for my buck? I am wondering if buying another sony will get me the same results as the last tv... didnt last as long as it should have.

A. I was in the market a month ago for a 32" LCD tv for my spare bedroom. I went to Best Buy web site and read all the customers reviews for all 32" tvs. Panasonic has the best score and review from customers (Panasonic 32" LCD 720P 60HZ). I went to the store to purchase the tv and they had sold out for the sale price of $399. Instead of walking out, I purchased the next size of 37", and am very pleased with the tv. Go on line to Home Theater Magazine and read reviews on tvs. You will also notice that in each of the price category you will find a Panasonic tv. While Sony and Samsung did not, while the rest of the tv brands did not get mentioned. Sony quality have dropped over the years and RCA is even lower. Hope this will help you out.


What's the best LCD 32 inch TV?
Q. I've been looking around for a new TV and I was wondering whats the best. I'm using it mostly for video gaming

LED-LCD TV or Plasma TV?

Q. I'm in the market for a new TV, in the 55" range, I will mostly play my PS3 and watch HDTV channels and sporting events, as well as Blu Ray's. I want to know which kind of TVs are better.

I want pro's and con's and if you own either, I highly request your opinion.

Models I'm considering are either the LED-LCD 3D Sony Bravia 55" 1080p 240 Hz
or the Samsung Plasma 55" 1080p 600Hz

Thanks for all feedback, this is important to me as I want the best of the best.

Is burn in still a problem with Plasmas?

A. The plasma's are cheaper, I would look into a panasonic plasma or LG plasma as those seem to have better picture than samsung. AS for LED, it's still more expensive and is a LCD in reality. The panasonic VT25 3d plasma won best TV for 2010 and is most likely cheaper than the LCD 3dtv. The first 100 hours just make sure you rotate your viewing on a plasma carefully ( I basically left my plasma on THX mode for 20 hours a day, 5 days with everything on zoom mode to remove any bars even when I was gone) after the 5 days I calibrated and even played the same video games for 5 hours straight and got no such image burn ( burn in is dead today, only image retention can happen and you can remove it by watching more HD). I had this panasonic plasma for 8 months and I got slight image retention kinda shadow ghost image from heavy gaming and after watching regular HD for 10 minutes it vanished. Just rotate.


best LED TV?????sony or samsung?
Q. getting a new tv.......gonna watch blu ray and ps3 and xbox 360....(thanks in advance for helping)
40" full hd....1seconds response time......slim and good looking....dont need 2 worry about the money...and im gonna hook it into my bose home theatre system :) :) :)

A. The best LED-backlit HDTV is made neither by Sony nor Samsung, but by LG.
The recent 2010 HDTV shoot-out at Value Electronics in Scarsdale, NY had the Panasonic VT25 plasma as the overall winner, with a Samsung plasma in 2nd place, but in 3rd place ahead of the Sony and Samsung LED offerings was the LG 55LX9500.

Here are the results:


1. Panasonic TC-P58VT25 (plasma)
2. Samsung PN58C8000 (plasma)
3. LG 55LX9500 (full-array local dimming LED-based LCD)
4. Sony KDL-55NX810 (edge-lit local dimming LED-based LCD)
5. Samsung UN55C8000 (edge-lit local dimming LED-based LCD)
6. Sharp LC-60LE925UN (edge-lit LED-based LCD)

As an aside, I wouldn't mention too much that you have a BOSE home theatre system, BOSE are the most over-priced underperforming audio products on the market today. They spend very little on research and development and far too much on marketing, which is why so many average consumers think BOSE is one of the best names in audio. The Acoustimass and Lifestyle systems in particular are absolutely awful for sound reproduction and you could get a $200 5.1 speaker system from Onkyo, Polk, Klipsch, Yamaha, JBL, etc., that will handily outperform and of the Lifestyle and Acoustimass systems.

Here's more info on BOSE - http://www.firstadopter.com/fa/archives/001749.html

The good news is because so many people are uneducated about BOSE you can still sell it and get your money back, unless you're still within the 30-day return policy in which case I'd advise you to take it back as quickly as possible. Otherwise list it on Kijiji or some local listing site, get 80% of your money back and pick up a nice Onkyo receiver/speaker combo and you'll be amazed at the massive difference in sound quality.

Two LCD HDTV brands cause a "flickering" problem?

Q. have had two brands of LCD HDTVs in the last 4 months. The first two lcds were samsung; my current tv is a sharp. The problem all of them have is a wierd "flickering" on screen. Now the flicker only occurs on certain images while in motion. Trees are a perfect example. Trees flicker with light while the rest of the picture does not. Often people's hair will flicker with light too.
I don't know how to fix this problem because I don't know what the problem is called. When I type a search for "flicering," I don't pull up threads which deal with the kind of flickering I experience. Once again, the whole screen doesn't flicker, just what appears to be images that are in motion and are hard to "render."
Please help me! I thought it was just a samsung thing, but it happens on my new sharp too. Also, the problem happens on hd cable box and my ps3.

A. Maybe it has to be the brands you're dealing with because my Polaroid doesn't do that at all. The only problem I had in the beginning was that my images had a green hue which couldn't be corrected even with color correction. Eventually, after calling the serviceman, I'm not sure what I did but the color was just fine from then on (I think it was the threat of having it serviced;-). In any case, the last thing I did was unplugged all my cords, including the power, and reattached everything. After that I had no problems. In short, it hasn't happened to my brand so I suggest maybe getting a lesser known brand. I've found that underdogs put quality into their products because they have to prove themselves to a subjective audience as opposed to big wigs who can now put out anything set at a price point they command and sometimes a lesser brand does the job sufficiently if not better. Just my two cents...


Which brand for LCD-HDTV?
Q. I am planning to buy a 32 inch LCD-HDTV. I am still confused about which brand to choose, which one is better.. is it sony,panasonic, or samsung?? can you guys give me some idea or a website forum which I can find this information??

A. You can read the reviews but I would strongly recommend you go to a store and look at the sets also. Unless you have an unlimited budget for your HDTV, I'm sure you will have to make some compromises. The reviews will help to narrow down your choices but only by auditioning the sets in the store will you find the one that pleases you the most.

which HDTV is good for xbox 360?

Q. What is good cheap HDTV that I can buy to use my xbox 360. I'll probably will need a small HDTV just exclusively for my xbox 360

np

A. 26" LCD Widescreen Samsung 720p-~$1,100-9/10
32" LCD Widescreen Samsung 720p-~$1,500-9/10
40" LCD Widescreen Samsung 1080p-$2,500-10/10

These TV's have a great picture no matter where you are at in the room. taking into consideration price and picture and size the top two are the best, but the 40" is the best looking HDTV I have ever seen.

Samsung makes some TV's like the ones above specifically for gaming. I wanted the 40", but it was too expensive and I couldn't afford it, but the 32" is also a beautiful tv. I would suggest getting yours at Ultimate Electronics, because if you can find the same tv for cheaper within 60 days they will refund you the difference.
I also wouldn't go with Plasma, a lot of Plasmas have a burn-in feature meaning that if you keep your game paused for too long that picture will be on your tv permanently.


Sony and Toshiba also make good products.

1080p-The best but most expensive.
720p-Great picture and less than the 1080p.
1080i-720p is better for gaming, other than that there is not much of a difference.

p-progressive-clearer and better picture
i-interlaced-out-dated technology


How do i hook up my xbox 360 to my proscan 40" lcd hdtv?
Q. I got it last night and i tried to hook it up, but all i got was the 360 in black and white until i switched the 360 cable to hdtv, then it went blank. I have 2 trio of cables, red, green, blue and yellow, red, white.
the slots i have in the back are only red, yellow and red, so i don't know which ones go where. please answer in detail.
opps i said red twice, its spos to be red white and yellow

A. Green, Blue, Red + Red/White = Component Video w/ audio
Yellow + Red/White = Composite video w/ audio

If your TV does not have Component inputs, then you can't use those cables. If you try you will get the Black and White image that you describe. You have to use the matching colors. If your TV only has Composite inputs, then you need to use the composite outputs from the Xbox 360, which would be the Yellow video cord and the red/white audio cords.

Composite video is SD only though. So it won't maximize the fact that you have an HDTV. But from what you describe that's the only way you can hook it up currently. The Component cables are HD capable, but again, your TV must have that option, and from the sounds of it, it does not.

You should consider getting an HDMI cable and using the Xbox's HDMI port. That is likely your only HD option that both pieces of gear have. You can get them for cheap in computer stores (get a no-name brand one), or online at like amazon.com, monoprice.com, and bluejeanscable.com. Never pay more than about $10-$15 for an HDMI cable. The cheap ones perform 100% as good as the expensive ones.

The HDMI cable hookup will allow you send an HD signal from your Xbox to your TV. That will then maximize the potential of the TV.

HDTV for video games?

Q. I haven't been able to find the lag rate for TV's so i figured I'd just ask you guys. I'm getting really really antsy, i haven't had a tv for months and im tempted to buy the LG 42LV4400 42-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED-LCD.... http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005JK01GO?m=ATVPDKIKX0DER
Does anyone have it, and can they vouch for gaming experience with it (sound,visuals, lag).

A 46in Samsung LED for $800 was my ideal and after missing this deal (http://dealnews.com/Samsung-46-120-Hz-1080-p-LED-Backlit-LCD-HDTV-for-800-free-shipping-/470443.html#similar) I've been trying to hold out for it again but I'm not sure if I'm gonna make it much longer

A. you wont find a lag rate for tv's due to it does NOT exist,,

some lcd/led tv's motion blur when playing fast action based games and there is NO cure while plasma tv's do NOT

if your thinking of buying a tv for playing games your better off getting a panasonic plasma tv,,


Plasma or HDTV which saves energy? Which is the best to buy?
Q. I want to buy a flat screen tv. But I want one that's a energy saver, and one that will last longer than 2yrs. w/o needing repairs.

A. Plasma TV / LCD TV / LED TV ( LCD-LED BACK-LIGHT ) all are HDTV. only difference in HD . full HD 1080 P or HD 720P.
Plasma TV available only 42 inc and above screen. prefect in total pictures quality suited for moving image / sports fast action movies with out so call " motion blur ".
OLD Plasma TV before 2007 is " junk ". very high power consumption over heat . easy burn in. life time not more than 40,000 hours.
Panasonic New Plasma totally " LIVE '. with out over heat. burn in is not an issue any more even long hours still image / play games.
all new Panasonic Plasma from 2008 models are ENERGY STAR QUALIFIED , 60,000 LIFE TIME .
some 2009 new models is super low power consumptions . compare to same screen size LCD TV , no difference in electric use. life time is up to 100,000 hours.better than LCD/LED TV.
if you looking for big screen , Panasonic New Plasma is PREFECT in total pictures quality and PRICES too.
http://panasonic.net/avc/viera/asia/product/z_plasma.html
http://www.smarthouse.com.au/TVs_And_Large_Display/Plasma/W3U2A3U7
^^
LCD TV come with full screen size from 1 inc to 108 inc. use 40 % less Power consumption than Plasma . such issue is over , New Panasonic Plasma power consumption W , is about LCD TV ( compare to same screen size ).
due to Response time . there must be so call motion blur, even hi end LCD TV try to use 120HZ / 240 HZ high refresh rate to " cover ' the motion blur. but really not that good .
if you like fast action sports movies, 120 HZ with 4 ms Response time is an MUST. but that only available to HI END models.REMEMBER . none of any LCD TV reach Plasma TV total pictures quality.
^^
LED TV ( LCD display use LED as back-light )
LED TV is RE-FINE of LCD TV. those LCD unable to performs well. like dark colour / black colour. LED TV just do it much better . LED TV able to cove much better in motion blur. due to lower Response time 2ms g to g standard .

make it simple .
big screen . Panasonic Plasma PREFECT in PRICES and QUALITY. is LONG LIFE.
LED TV is lower power consumption. great pictures quality . but cost more.
LED TV > Sony and Sharp are new vision of LED technologies .
Samsung Pioneer in LED TV. but is very first LED technologies in use , need to improve.
all LED TV is 1080P 120 HZ or even 240 HZ.
LCD TV , if you need quality also less motion blur , go for hi end FULL HD 1080 P / 120 HZ models.
Samsung / LG / Sony / Panasonic / Sharp / Toshiba LCD equally quality in SAME RANGE PRODUCT. usually the above brand 90 % able to use for 5 years with out any problems.
screen size 42 inc and below , Panasonic is SUPER RELIABLE . 97 % of Panasonic 22- 42 inc able to use for 8 + years with out any repair.
never TOUCH any Local / house brand. there are not manufactures . 30 % get trouble in less than one year.
