my family recently got a 67" lcd flat screen tv.. and in our manual there never were any directions on how to clean the screen. i heard somewhere that cleaning products are potentially bad for the screen.

to the point though; the screen is rather dirty; there are smudges on it.. so the question is how do i clean it off without hurting anythin?

I have HD cable, a TV that supports HD, and a DVD player that also records. My problem is I don't know how to connect the DVD player to the whole set up. I'm usually not this bad at stuff in this field, but the whole HD part has thrown me way off and I have no clue what to do. I bought a DVI cable because a Geek Squad member recommended I connect it from the cable box to the TV, then take the red and white inputs on my cable and put them on my DVD player. I did that and I'm stumped, it's just not working. HELP!!

I am looking at the LowePro Edit 110 ($21 at Best Buy) as a possibility. I like Velcro fasteners as opposed to zippers for easier access.

Any answers from personal experience with this camera (and bags) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have the following lenses which came with my camera:

14-42mm & the 40-150mm

I hate having to change them when I have to take close up photos and far photos.

Can anyone out there help me with which lens can I purchase so that I wouldn't have to change my lens every single time?

Thank you soo much in advance!

dvd player with normal 480p content projected at a true 480p

versus

dvd player upscaling a regular dvd to 1080p projected at 1080p.

It seems these upscalers are not "adding" any content - just stretching the image.

I understand if you have a 1080p native displaying 480p will be choppy - just like trying to watch regular cable on an hd tv.

There is a device out there called the Mosquito that emits a sound that only people between 14-25 can hear. It's super annoying so it gets rid of loiterers and stuff.
My question is can you hear this sound and how old are you?

I saw a DVD recorder & would like to buy it. The problem is that I don't know how it works. This recorder looks just like a simple DVD player. Does it require a PC? Can it Rewite DVD's?

They KNOW the number we're trying to dial, which is why the recording TELLS us to dial a 1. Why don't they just automatically dial it for us if it's such a big deal?

Stupid phone companies anyway.

Considering buying a PS3 for games and more importantly for a bluray player. I don't have the cash to upgrade my TV to a 1080p model. I have a samsung 1080i/720p HDTV now. I'm wondering if the PS3 will only output the 1080P movies as 1080P or will it downscale it to match my TV 1080i or will my TV do the downscaling or neither.

For what I have seen the Speedlite 580EX II is compatible with all eos SRL cameras, and I don't know if it will be with mine.

I'm looking for a camera that has the ability to take close up (~40x) pictures of a needle going through fabric 1,000 times per second. I think the specs I'm looking for are 2,000 frames per second minimum and high resolution (1064x768) however I'm not sure where to find that kind of camera, what kind of lens I need, or what brand, etc... money is not a factor.

we recently bought some cctv camera's and recorder. everything works... the only trouble my electrician is having (yes he's from india) is how to connect the BNC connectors (which goes to the back of the camera) to the coaxial cable.

can anyone decribe to me how to do it?

the way we did it is to strip away the plastic cover to an inch, flip back the sheild so it goes over the plastic cover, then cut half an inch off the insulator, leaving the core wire exposed. then we just pushed and screwed it into the back of the connector. now.. it all looks good. but once the camera was plugged and seen, the quality was VERY BAD. not how it suppose to be.

NOTE: there is no interferance with other cables and the distance is not a problem (as we tested it with a 20cm cable). all camera's are working 101% as was tested before purchase.

are we doing anything wrong. please advise. Thanks in advance.

We currently have Sprint which we are happy with but have found out that they have been screwing us over with billing over the past two years that they owe us almost $1000 but refuse to pay back. Anyhow we would like to switch carriers and I would like to know is Verizon better or ATT and why...We have a 3 line family plan currently.
