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

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

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

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

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

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

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

How to get the best picture out of my 120hz LCD?

Q. I bought a 46in Samsung 120hz LCD(LED backlit) HDTV, so far at times it does seem better but there is still ghosting with the black and dark colors, the faster the picture, the more distorted and blurry it gets. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The model number is LN46C650L1F.

A. Sadly - motion blur is inherent in LCD panels with fast moving objects. The "120 hz refresh" cuts the problem in half compared to a standard 60 hz refresh model, but it is still there.

Some models have software 'enhancements' that try to smooth out the motion blur, but this sometimes causes other artifacts.

All new televisions should have their Brightness, contrast and color set to sane levels. (These are set at the factory to ultra-bright so the unit will be eye-catching if used as a demo on a bright display floor).

Get a Pixar movie and go to the disk setup menu. You will find test-patterns and instructions for properly setting the brightness, contrast and color.

This will probably reduce how noticeable the ghosting and blur are, but it will not solve it.
