Gaming on a 26" lcd hdtv...?

Q. ...Can you still enjoy playing XBOX360 HD games on a 26" lcd hdtv? I heard that "true HD" should be a hdtv 32" or larger...

A. Big Tvs are good but too big then you get pixelation. We play our ps3 on a 26 inch and its actually clearer than our 60 inch from my point of view.

question on sceptre lcd hdtv?

Q. I have a deal on sceptre lcd hdtv 37' for $600, brand new, can anyone give me an opinion about this? I read the description of sceptre tv, there is different type of input: PC+TV, 1080i, 1080p...I don't really know what it means, which one is better. Is a TV with higher resolution perform better. I have basic cable, will it be ok on lcd hdtv. I don't want to spend more money on cable. THANK YOU

A. You will HATE how this hdtv will look with analog cable. People complain about this very subject day after day on yahoo answers.

A hdtv needs a high def source in order to look really look. Note digital cable is NOT the same as hd cable. You will want to get hd cable which will add $10 - $20 a month to your bill depending on what state you live in.

If you don't want hd cable, I would suggest getting a standard def tv. They cost about $300 at Best Buy.

Which is a better HDTV?

Q. Panasonic - 42" Class / Plasma / 1080p / 600Hz / HDTV
Model: TC-P42S30

or

LG - 42" Class / 1080p / 120Hz / LCD HDTV
Model: 42LK520

I would like to play Xbox 360 without any lag. Will there be burn in in the panasonic, and will i have to leave the tv on for 100hours in the anti-burn mode?

Thanks

A. FWIW, a similar Panasonic model number was among the top 4 sets in plasma HDTVs rated in Consumer Reports (March 2011 issue). All four were Panasonics. An LG was #5, but the model number is far different than the one you cited.

Panasonic generally has a very favorable reputation for plasma TVs..Some specific models of the others are very good, too, but it Panasonic seems to attract high marks across the board in that category.

Original Question

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

What is the difference between an LCD and LED HDTV?

Q.

A. There are many technologies emerging in display devices like TVs. Every technology excels in particular feature of display and has particular method of display. Different technologies used in TVs are:

LCD TV:
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) televisions are thinner and lighter and provide much sharper and clearer picture than CRTs of similar size. They are ideally used for cell phone displays, computer monitors, and to view still images.
· LCD TVs have a flat screen so there will be no picture distortion and don't have screen "burn in" like curved tube TVs.
· In general, LCD viewing angle is 175 degrees. The picture can be viewed 87 degrees from each side.
· LCD TVs are very economical to use and screens less than 35 are fairly inexpensive.
· LCD TVs are backlit and blocks outside light. So, they are suitable for natural lighting situations.
· Most LCD TVs have a half lifespan (50% of original brightness) of over 30,000 hours (16 years of viewing at 6 hours per day).
LCD sizes generally range from 13 to 65 but some manufacturer will offer up to 100 sizes.

Plasma TV:
A Plasma Display Panel (PDP) is a flat panel display used in large TV displays. They have better and accurate color generation than LCDs, and with far display, wider viewing angles, and do not experience degradation at high angles compared to LCD. Plasma displays are ideal for viewing motion video in large displays.

· Plasma screen sizes generally ranges from 32 to 84 but some offer screen sizes up to 100.
· Plasma pixel, technology provides a brighter picture with more contrast between the blacks and whites than standard TV.
· In general, plasma TVs viewing angle is 160 to 180 degrees and picture can be viewed from any angle.
· On an average, Plasma TVs have a half lifespan (50% of brightness) of 50,000 to 70,000 hours (20 years of viewing 6 hours a day to 50,000 hours).
Some plasma TVs are provided with upgradeable video cards that helps to match with future technology.

HDTV:
HDTV or High-Definition Television is a digital television broadcasting system offering a higher resolution compared to regular television systems. HDTV is digitally broadcast unlike earlier analog broadcasting, because digital television (DTV) signals require reduced bandwidth because of digital video compression.

HDTV will not have standard TV problems, like low quality sharpness, troubles with brightness or contrast, spots, other visual, or audio imperfections, problems like double images (ghosting), and weak signals. HD television provides clearer pictures with excellent sound quality, a wider viewing screen and up-to-date scanning. HDTV will provide more and superior channels provided by regular satellite or cable television with theater system experience.

LED TV:
LED (Light Emitting Diode) TV is an LCD TV that uses LEDs for back lighting, instead of using the fluorescent lights (as it creates more black spots). They are ideally used for low-energy indicators, as substitutes for traditional light sources in general lighting and automotive lighting.
· LED TV currently costs more than a standard LCD or plasma TV.
· LED TV has got great looks and very easy to Install.
· Edge-lit LED television will consume 30-40% of less power than LCD or plasma TV. But backlit LEDs will consume more power.
· Brighter picture can be viewed with LED television compared to a standard LCD TV.
· LED TV that is backlit, with local dimming and RGB LEDs, will have an enhanced picture and better contrast ratio and colour accuracy compared to standard LCD TV.
It has a long lasting life and also eco friendly.

OLED TVs:
OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) TVs depend on light emitting polymer technology. Its features including,
· In OLED TVs, there is no need for backlights or extra heaters or coolers, so there is less power consumption.
· As OLED materials has the capacity to support full spectrum of visible light, so there will be higher contrast and it has high-speed refresh rates.
· OLEDs are much faster than LCDs. Fast motion and quick eye movement pictures are more realistic. And OLED TVs will make virtual images to look realistic and can be viewed easily for longer periods.
· It has larger viewing angle and for near-eye applications, it provides more pleasant viewing without distortion.
One disadvantage with OLED TVs is the limited lifespan of the organic materials used in its manufacturing. In addition, blue light degrades quickly with a lifespan of 14,000 hours (when used 8 hours per day for five years) on flat-panel displays.

Before purchasing a television, know the difference between each technology and purchase the one, which has your desired features and suits your budget.

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

Which HDTV should we buy? An LCD, a Plasma, or an LED-LCD?

Q. We are looking to spend no more than 1500 dollars and the tv MUST be 42". The room it will be in is usually well lit. Let me know if you have personal experience or any suggestions. Thanks in advance!!!

A. I've done some research on LCD vs Plasma vs DLP and here are my results:

Plasma:
Generally better home-theater image quality than LCD; wide viewing angles; superior motion resolution (which means you do not see blurs in fast-action movies/tv shows/etc.).
Bulkier and less energy-efficient than LCDs; sometimes lower native resolution than similarly sized LCDs; glass screens can reflect ambient light.
The best plasmas produce top-notch image quality, with deep black levels, excellent color, wide viewing angles, and better motion resolution than similar LCDs, making them subject to less blurring during fast movement.
Most plasma makers today claim a life span of 60,000 hours before the panel fades to half brightness. That's more than 20 years if the TV is on for 8 hours per day.
Things to watch out for: Burn in, Glare, get a model with with good black-level performance (Contrast ratios),

LCD:
One definite advantage of LCD TVs, is that their matte plastic screens reflect less ambient light than plasmas' glass, so they're usually better for very bright rooms with little light control. Note that some LCDs have glossy screens, as opposed to matte (glossy = not so good in light rooms).
Sleeker, weighs less, and more energy efficient than Plasma (but sleeker is a relative term since plasmas are slim)
PC Connections are more common on LCDs than Plasma
Same life expectancy as Plasma


DLP:
Less-expensive at very large screen sizes than plasma; good black-level performance on the best models.
Lamp requires periodic replacement; thicker and bulkier than flat-panels; less-impressive off-angle performance than plasma.
Can produce soft edges on picture quality (not good)
Easy to replace light bulb (which lasts only 3000 hrs)
Picture Quality does not fade over time as Plasma and LCD

Winner: That depends on how it is used. For me, Plasma dominates the rest because the TV is mainly used to watch movies in a dark room.

A. plasma screen presents deep blacks and good picture. however lcd tvs are more immune to glare.led is the best overall. they have the best quality picture of the three. plus they use much less energy. most led tvs come in 1080p resolution, which also results in stunning graphics. there are little lines that go horrizontally across tv sceens to produce picture. some tvs have 720p resolution. so they have 720 lines that go across the screen to produce picture. 1080p has 1,080 lines that go across the screen, which results in more detail. so another reason why LED tvs are the best is b/c most of them come in 1080p. some plasmas and lcd tv's also come in 1080p. another thing to know is refresh rate. refesh rate is how many times the screen changes in one second. most tvs are available in 60Hz, 120Hz, 240Hz. (Hz=herts A.K.A refresh rate.) so a 120 Hz screen will change 120 times each second. but a 240Hz screen will change 240 times each second. so the screen picture will result in a more fluid picture. the main purpose of refresh rate is to reduce bluryness. this comes in handy in fast moving picture, which can cause a lot of bluryness. most plasmas and lcd tvs are only available in 120Hz. most LED tvs are available in 120HZ and 240HZ. again with Led graphics being better. so without a doubt, LED is a better tv that can produce more detailed, smoother graphics. hope i helped. deuces :)

Need help Looking to buy an 37-47 inch lcd hdtv Resolution 720p or 1080p?

Q. I am looking to purchase a hdtv probably in the sizes between 37-47 inches probably 1080p. I have heard that to notice the difference in 1080p than 720p the screen size needs to be bigger than 42inches. So for example if i bought a 37 inch tv there would be no point to buy a 1080p for that size correct? Now i want the tv to watch hd dvds play my 360 etc. I know you must have an xbox 360 elite with the hdmi input to have it in 1080p but i hear that the xbox 360 has to upscale 720p to 1080p since the native resolution for most games on the xbox 360 is 720p so how does this work in terms of picture quality. Basically what is upscaling and is there a big difference in upscaling than the native resolution. Or is it a waste of money and should i just buy a 720p tv and save about a thousand dollars and go with a 37inch. Since more sources right now support 1080i should i just stay with 720p now and get a 1080p later when the prices come down. and more sources support it thanks.

A. Well, to start off, you do not need an Elite to get 1080p from the 360. Really it depends on the TV. Some TVs allow for 1080p from Component, VGA, and HDMI, and some others only allow it from VGA or HDMI. Most of the older 360 games were made for a max resolution of 720p. Fortunately, the majority of the games made since about 8 months ago have the ability to show in 1080p.
Upscaling will take a 480i to 720p picture and make it look more like 1080p. It won't look exactly like 1080p but it will get it very close.
Lots of people will tell you to get 1080p because "it's better", but like you said in the beginning, it's all relative. If you are going to sit between 2 or 3 feet from a 37" TV then you might see some difference between the two resolutions. Any further back though and your eyes just can't tell.In other words, the bigger the TV, the better it is for you to get a higher resolution. Aside from the high definition movies and games, not much else is broadcasting in 1080p. So, in my opinion, if you don't need 1080p, don't get it.

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.

Does LCD HDTV make a difference in gaming?

Q. When playing my xbox360, would having a LCD HDTV make a difference between it and standard definition? I am thinking about buying an LCD TV to make the graphics bigger and better, but would it really make all the difference?

P.S- I know Plasma is better but I don't have that kinda money.

A. HDTV over SDTV. Its pretty obvious that High Definition is Significantly Better than, Standard Definition. LCD's are comparable in price to Plasma's they just tend to be smaller.

Honeywell soyo altura 32" LCD hdtv R100 OHM value?

Q. A resistance near the power input marked R100 burned. I need the exact OHM value for replacement. THX

A. Geesh! The resistor is 'burnt' for a reason!! Something ELSE is faulty causing it to burn.

You are obviously no where near being a competent person and should stay well away from electricity (especially high voltage!) As you don't know the basic resistor coding, basic fault finding, have no circuit diagram and have no idea of electrical circuits, smps power supplies in particular, get a competent engineer to diagnose the fault!

P.s the resistor burnt you mention is a common problem caused by other faulty components, don't just change it, you risk some BIG BANGS!!!!!!!!

Anyway IF the circuit board is not marked up R1, R2, R3-R100 THEN Lol, the 'R100' is 100 Ohms! (R(esistance) 100). is a common practice of marking component values. DEPENDING on the manufacturer!!

what is the better 60" LCD LED TV? The Sony Bravia KDL60EX700 or the Samsung UN60C6300?

Q. Trying to decide which 60" LED 120 HDTV to buy.
How does the Sharp LC 60LE810UN compare?
Thank you for the info. I want to go green and prefer the LED vs. Plasma.

The Sharp has the best picture, but I hate the ugly awkward bezel.

The Samsung has IMO the weakest picture of the three, the best bezel and is super thin. It also doesn't have internet connectivity.

The Sony has internet connectivity and a nice picture, but is thicker then the others for some reason.

Right now, I'm leaning towards the Sony.

A. i personally prefer Samsung UN60C6300 60-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED HDTV which is really good and performs well.

Sony Bravia 32" Class LCD 1080p 60Hz HDTV, KDL-32EX400?

Q. Can this television, or any other 1080p television, be hooked up to basic cable? i'm mainly interested in using this television for gaming, and i feel basic cable should be sufficient on it because i wont be watching a whole lot of television.

A. is one of the great Sony 32 inc full HD 1080P LCD TV.
keep in mind .
KDL-32EX400 as an STANDARD 1080 P models. 60 HZ refresh rate. is general good for movies.
however , 60 HZ refresh rate is not really good for any fast moving image - sports movies - game.
the motion blur may cause you eye uncomfortable from game - fast action image.
for gaming, you need 120 HZ refresh rate to cover / hide away the motion blur. make more smooth pictures .
i cannot said the KDL-32EX400 is bad. is great for general. but not suited for gaming.
for gaming , seriously consider Sony 32 inc with 120 HZ refresh rate models.
there is few models.

What is the best LDC HDTV?

Q. Who makes the best/ sharpest picture LCD HDTV- BRAND NAMES 32-40 inch. Is more pics. like 720p or 1020p better?

A. There are more than one company out there that makes very good HDTVs. The best HDTV for you depends on the kind of features you're interested in and the budget you're working with. The higher the pixels, the higher the resolution but the price goes up significantly as well. If you want the latest HDTV, then go for a 1080 pixel but keep in mind that aside from Blu-ray and high-definition video games (X-box, for example) there are not many 1080 formatted products yet. On the other hand, I have seen over-the-air broadcasts in high-definition 720p and I can't imagine a sharper picture---it was that good.

I spent several weeks researching HDTVs and I learned that generally Sony and Samsung are the two highest rated HDTVs across the board. So we narrowed our list between the Samsung 40� 1080p 120 Hz and the Sony Bravia XBR 40� 1080p 120Hz (Model: KDL-40XBR4). The Samsung already had an edge over the Sony as far as best-rated LCDs of 2007. Samsung dominated the top 10 list while Sony took the last spot. Furthermore, Sony is overpriced (costing a few hundred dollars more) and lacks many useful features that the Samsung includes.

For example, Samsung includes two RF antenna inputs. I hooked up an amplified rabbit-ear antenna and picked up many of my local digital broadcasted channels. I live in a rural area where I can�t get cable or even satellite (trees block angle), so that was very important for me. The Samsung also includes a USB port. I used the port to hookup my Canon PowerShot digital camera and reviewed our family pictures in high definition. Samsung also includes picture-in-picture (PIP). I can play my xbox 360 and view something on TV simultaneously in a smaller box within the main picture.

For those reasons, I clearly saw Samsung as my best buy.
