What are the best settings for the 47-inch Vizio SV471XVT 240 HZ LCD HDTV?

Q.

A. Get a HD TV calibrator. Some DVDs and many Blu-Rays come with free calibrators on them. Those can be a free way to get a great picture out of your TV.

Also, I would recommend turning off all forms of Sharpness. You can't make a 1080p image sharper and it will create many artificial edges that can distort the image. It may take some getting used to, but you'll be seeing a sharper image without sharpness settings turned on.

What's the best way to take care of an LCD HDTV?

Q. I just bought a Vizio 26in 1080p HDTV adn I want it to last me. What is the best way to make sure my tv last long.

A. Take it back and get a better quality TV. A vizio is basically a WalMart type LCD tv. I had one and it lasted me only 3 years. I bought a LG after (way better quality) and I find it helpful that there are so many places that can fix LGs that if any problems happen I can take them almost anywhere. Plus Wal Mart is known for quality. Those TVs are made cheap. But if this isnt an option, an LCD tv is pretty much like any TV. Just dont throw anything at the screen and keep the default settings set. They normally are the better settings

Vizio GV42L 42" HDTV LCD settings?

Q. I just bought a Vizio GV42L 42" LCD HDTV. Just a few questions:
1) what settings have you used for cable programming and/or movies, as I hear to get good picture you really need to tweak it right.
2) I have my comcast HD DTS box and progressive scan DVD player connected to the Vizio using component cables. When I'm watching an HD channel, it does look HD, and when I'm watching a DVD It does look much higher quality than typical analog cables..However, when I press the info button. It still says resolution coming it at only 480i. Should I be concerned and/or try using HDMI cables instead?
~Gavin Ng

A. I ran into this problem with my Samsung LCD.. the Cox Cable HD box wasn't automatically converting the signal to 1080i. You'll have to go into the settings of your cable box and manually switch it to 1080i... I ran through a setup process that it displays a bunch of screens and which ever one you can see it programs the box to use ...after that it automatically switched between the 1080i for the HD channels and lower 720/480 for the non HD channels.

Call your cable provider.. thats what i did to figure out the setup program.

Do Vizio LCDs have good quality?

Q. I know Vizios are generally cheaper then other HDTVs but i was wondering if Vizio TVs still have good quality. I'm going to get a 26" LCD so if you could say how good Vizio TVs are that would be great. Thanks!

A. Here is some review information:

http://cleverreviews.com/vizio-tv-reviews

http://www.ehow.com/facts_5037680_vizio-tvs-good.html

You should decide for yourself. Generally you get what you pay for. As for picture quality, it is often in the eye of the beholder. Remember that if you purchase a TV in store, they are displayed out of the box with the factory settings. You may be able to replicate the picture of a more expensive set on a cheaper one if you can make adjustments to both to give the optimum picture (based on your judgment alone). Remember don't stand too close. Stand at the distance from which you would be watching at home (if possible).

Good luck.

When i watch tv from below the screen looks black?

Q. I have a memorex 19 inch plasma not lcd. If i watch tv straight it looks fine but when I watch from below there is a lot of dark areas. Do I go to the settings and fix it? Should i buy a new lcd? My parents also have a Vizio 26 inch lcd hdtv and also looks black from below what should I do? How do I know when a tv doesnt have dark areas, what is it called?

A. Because you have an LCD, and NOT a plasma. First of all, Memorex does not make, nor have they ever made, plasma TVs. Second, plasmas have wide viewing angles like the flat-screen variants of their CRT cousins, so there's no contrast fade from watching off-axis. Third, no plasmas were sold for the consumer market smaller than 32", and nowadays they only come in 42" and up.
LCDs tend to have narrow viewing angles, especially vertically. Meaning that when you look at it from way off to the side or particularly from below, the colors may not appear correctly, and the contrast will be awful to say the least, to the point of being unwatchable.
Possible solutions:
1. Watch the TV directly facing it; sit/stand right in front of it at about eye level.
2. Re-position the TV.
3. Buy a plasma TV.
4. Use a CRT TV.

How to change an hdtv in sd mode to get a hd picture?

Q. I recently bought a 37" Vizio LCD HDTV. However, when I press info to see the show it says the show then 480i SD. But I have an HD Cable Box and everything. How do I make it so I have an HD picture instead of an SD picture?

A. FIRST, you NEED to check your cable box....make sure in the menu that it's set to OUTPUT a 1080 signal.....if it's set for 480, that's all it will deliver to your TV set.

The TV itself is automatic....no settings in your TV to adjust.

Now, YOU NEED to use either an HDMI cable or a COMPONENT cable to get HD. You can't use your standard 3-wire cables to get HD.

Then tune your box to an HD station like Discovery HD...

What's the best way for me to get the most out of my new HDTV?

Q. I just bought a 37" inch vizio lcd hdtv. its an E370VL. I'm just going to use it just for playing my ps3. So what settings should i put so that i can get the best video possible when playing? Also, should i get wireless speakers just so i can enhance my gaming?

The tv is in my room btw.

A. Vizio is a good set. Congrats. The best way to maximize your purchase is to know what can be hooked up. What are all of those ports for and what do they mean? Here is one example. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ytech_gadg/20101001/tc_ytech_gadg/ytech_gadg_tc3771;_ylt You are simply scratching the surface of the tv's capabilities to ignore the fact that it was built to multi-task. The more tasks assigned to it the greater are your chances you are getting the most out of your purchase. Most tvs at the 37" price point can serve as a split screen monitor connected to a laptop, a set top box like apple tv, roku or nintendo will can run through the screen. External speakers are an option, perhaps as many as three. HDMI outlets are valuable. HDMI ports stream audio and video content from one cable. TVs yours included can be the sight of a wireless hub.

On the subject of wireless speakers. I wouldn't get wireless speakers unless it makes sense in the room. The better musical sound to the critical ear comes from wired speakers. This may not be the case for a gamer. However, no need to be concerned about electrical interference causing the sound to be interrupted. We live in an increasingly wireless world, certainly it will not hurt matters to have a set. In this case I would look at the spend and the set up in the room. If the room is tight and wired is limited due to plugs and cords all over the place do what makes the most sense living in the situation.

Best.

How to enable higher resolutions from PC on TV?

Q. I have my computer hooked up to my 26" Vizio 720p/1080i LCD TV via VGA and have a current resolution of 1280x720; the display settings will allow it to be increased up to 1360x768 using the integrated graphics (the computer is rather old). I was wondering this: Would a new video card allow higher resolutions such as 1920x1080 or 1680x945?

A. Nope. A new video card will not let you increase the resolution any.

Your Vizio TV set's screen has a grid of thin-film-transistor-controlled pixels 1360 across and 768 high. That is the resolution it is physically capable of displaying.

A new video card will not magically add any additional transistor-controlled pixel circuits to your Vizio TV's screen. Only a new TV with a bigger pixel grid will.

An 1080p LCD HDTV will have a grid of thin-film-transistor pixels 1920 across and 1080 high.

What are settings that I can adjust to get the best picture on my Samsung 52" LN-T5261F 1080P LCD HDTV?

Q. When I walk into Costco I see that a 37" VIZIO 1080P looks sharper and clearer than my 52" Samsung with a BLU Ray?? Is this because my TV was not professionally calibrated after it was installed at my home? Any suggestions? I dont want to pay $400 bucks to have it done.

A. Sometimes "sharper and clearer" isn't anything more than just turning up the brightness. However, if you have ever seen a professionally calibrated TV the first thing you notice about it is that it's not bright at all. Our eyes deceive us. That's why manufacturers ship their TVs with "torch mode" as the default setting.

I have the Digital Video Essentials: HD Basics disc. It guides you through video (and to a lesser extent audio) calibration. I have the disc but I haven't used it yet. I've seen testimonies from people who say it gave them a whole new TV. There's also a DVD called Avia, although I have no experience with it, so I can't really comment on its effectiveness.

My parents also have a Vizio 26 inch lcd hdtv and also looks black from below what should I do? How do I know when a tv doesnt have dark areas, what is it called?

A. Because you have an LCD, and NOT a plasma. First of all, Memorex does not make, nor have they ever made, plasma TVs. Second, plasmas have wide viewing angles like the flat-screen variants of their CRT cousins, so there's no contrast fade from watching off-axis. Third, no plasmas were sold for the consumer market smaller than 32", and nowadays they only come in 42" and up.
LCDs tend to have narrow viewing angles, especially vertically. Meaning that when you look at it from way off to the side or particularly from below, the colors may not appear correctly, and the contrast will be awful to say the least, to the point of being unwatchable.
Possible solutions:
1. Watch the TV directly facing it; sit/stand right in front of it at about eye level.
2. Re-position the TV.
3. Buy a plasma TV.
4. Use a CRT TV.
