Consumer Electronics - 10 November 2007

I bought it from Verizon, thinking it'd be neat to get online. After 6 months, I found that, for me, (1) $45 a month is a lot to pay for internet phone service! and (2) I'd rather have a plain ol' phone keypad than a QWERTY keypad for a phone...

So, here I am, with a little-used expensive Samsung SCHi730, runs Windows, and all that. I'm not asking to sell it, just asking: should I trash it?

When I turn on the TV the center is blacked out with only the right and left edges showing. When I switch channels the picture restores for a second and then the center blacks out again. Why is this, how do I fix it?

I've heard very conflicting reports...

If there is a difference I was told that I can get the cheapest HDMI cables and visually they are the same as the more expensive ones b/c the signal is digital. Is that true?

BTW I have a Sony Wega 720p 50" HDTV. Thanks!!!

the only games i'm really interested in playing is Mario and Monkey Ball. i'm not some crazed serious gamer. I just like the occasional video games. Here are some of the things i've heard.

PS2:
-Needs something to play with more then 2 people. This might be a problem considering i like to play with a lot of friends.
-Guitar Hero is only compatable with PS2. Not gamecube.
-Plays DVD's and CD's.

Gamecube:
-Can play up to 4 players with no other accesories.
-Isn't making any new games for it.
-Lightweight

People have said the PS2 has better games, but i honestly have no clue. Thanks =D

I am planning to get a Samsung lcd soon its either going to be a 40 in or 42in lcd. Now I want to know do I really need to get a 1080 lcd or will I be fine with a 720 if I plan on sitting about 6 feet away from the tv. I plan on using it for watching hd dvds and playing ps3. If possible show a source that discusses this topic on 1080 vs 720. The ones i read said there is no real noticable difference until you get to 50 inches and above.

So he doesn't have to pay for them. He gets all the channels, Setanta, movies, sports, etc. But i'm not sure if he gets the "Sky Box office" channels.
Does anyone know the channel numbers of these channels. The last time there was a pay-per-view boxing mach on, we flicked through all the channels and couldn't find it.
The return path doesn't work, so telewest can't send signals back to the box. so we can't order the fight either. Normally, I think the channels where you have to press the red button to get into don't work on the chipped box.
Does anyone know anyone with a chipped Telewest box and can tell me if you can get the "box office" channels and if so, what the channel numbers are.
It's the Hatton Mayweather fight I want to see - C'MON THE HITMAN!

P.S. I know chipped boxes are illegal and I don't care!

Thanks
