Consumer Electronics - 16 September 2007

It's got 6 megapixels and I don't think I'm bad at taking pictures, but I just can't get all my pictures to come out as clean and crisp as I would like or as I would expect from my camera. Help! It's annoying having to edit almost all my pictures on my computer.

I have a TV in the basement, it's within 5ft of the basement's outer cement wall. right now it's hooked up to a DVD player and a VCR and a RF modulator (so i can run the DVD signal past the VCR). There are so many cables running around behind this thing that it picks up a number of channels with varing quality with no antenna. (8 & 10 are strong, and 12 & 49 are pretty fuzzy, with bad weather i lose 49 pretty often)

The reception is at the leve where if I stand in just the right spot near the TV it'll kill the signal, or if it's off-day a different spot might make it viewable. What sort of options are there for an indoor antenna? Will a simple set of rabbit ears make a big difference? What if I just tie some copper wire to an exposed cable and run it around on the floor, would that do anything?

someone asked me to video their wedding for them, at a reasonable cost, in the contract i am to give them 1 DVD and charge for any additional DVD's that they may request. I want to maximize my profits by making them come back to me for multiple DVD's. But the catch is that most people now have a dvd burner or know someone with a dvd burner. so I want to copy protect the DVD i give them, So that they have to come back to me to order more DVD's. Does anyone know how i can do that? or does anyone know of a programt that will do that for me?

I have a ipod (photo) and have had it replaced three times. It does the same thing each time after a couple months. When it first broke it showed a sad face and if i plugged it into my pc it said it was corrupted. Could this be caused by a certain song(s)? And if so, then if i get a new ipod will the same corrupted song corrupt my new ipod?

What is the Difference Between an LCD TV and a Plasma TV?

2007-09-16 15:58:09 · 19 answers · asked by Mani 1 in TVs

What is the difference? Will there be a noticable difference? I see newer TVs have SD composite and component. My TV I have now only has SD composite, but a friends has SD composite and component? My Xbox has both connections and I'm wondering if there is a major difference between the two SD connections. Will the component look much better than composite? Getting an HD TV is out the picture.

I'm planning on buying 2 TV within the next couple of months. I did a lot of research but I want people's recommendations. I'm looking for 1 small TV ( 20 to 24 inch) and one big one (27 to 32 inch) at a reasonable price, between $500 to $1000. I'm NOT planning to buy any Westinghouse TV. Bought one a few weeks ago but had to return it because the audio didn't sync with the video, meaning the sound lag behind by 2 seconds to the picture, which go very annoying. There was some bad reviews on Westinghouse tvs and a few people had the same problem that I did. Any good brands besides Westinghouse?

I'll be getting a new TV soon thanks to homeowner's insurance (lightning strike took out many things). Expect to get a 56" screen; this will be for me (kids' TV already replaced w/an LCD), mostly movies, sports, no gaming. I don't want plasma. It'll be on a foot-high pedestal, but I lie on the floor as often as sit on the furniture, so I want a generous viewing sweet spot. Will my home theater experience be better with an LCD or a DLP type? (I know to get 1080i. A friend recently got a DLP and he's delighted with it.)

Specific models appreciated but not necessary, price is not a big issue.
