Just received a new 37 inch 1080i HD from Samsung. I've hooked up my XBox360 via a 5 pin digital AV cable which is switched to the 'HD' setting (changed Xbox settings to 1080i). The actual XBox 360 games look great, but I watched a DVD and it was blurred, and looked almost like a TV programme. When people moved it was especially blurry- and disappointing. Notably worse than my 6 year old standard TV which makes no sense!!

Is watching DVD's on an Xbox360 a no-no when it comes to HD tv's, is a HDMI connection necessary?

Hi, my friend was just talking about a program on iTunes called iTunes Essentials. It sounds pretty cool but I can't find it on the iTunes home page. Can anyone help?

I am currently attempting to set up a new tv with an old receiver. The tv is hooked up directly to a cable box through the video cables. The audio cables(red and white cables) on the other hand were hooked directly into the red and white slots on video 1 of the receiver. After turning everything on and setting the receiver to video 1, the video is fine but the audio balance is off. When watching a movie on tv for example, the music's volume is normal but the voices are a faint whisper. If anyone can provide some insight into my error here I would be greatful.

My friend is looking to purchase canon S5 IS from US. Since there are good deals in US at this time, maybe due to thanks giving, the price of S5 IS is unbelievable 10K as opposed to 23K, I myself purchased here in India.

I wanted to confirm the genuineness and authenticity of the US purchased product in terms of quality and warranty? Are there any problems later, if bought from US. I am somewhat amazed at the low price.

Don't people understand what interpolated means!? Are they so focused on the 'more megapixels is better' idea that they fail to notice the stuff being advertised uses terms which are next to meaningless? Some smart and unscrupulous business is going to come out with a **20 MEGAPIXEL** (interpolated) camera and corner the market...

I've had it for like a year now and it's been working fine. This just started happening today. I haven't made any changes to my wireless network, and I have a Wii (wireless) and a 360 (wired) that are working fine online. I'm guessing it's a problem w/ the PS3 not the router but what?

Has anyone had problem with static once in a while. Every once in a while (a few or more times a day) I get a white fuzzy static or interference across the screen with static noise. It sometime last for a few seconds. Was just wondering what the problem could be or if anyone else has come across the the same problem. Dont really want to call a tech out but may have to, any ideas would be great.

Thanks

I just converted it and usually they show up straight into my iTunes movies section, but it wasn't there this time. Did I mess up or is something wrong with my iTunes. Is there anyway I can pull up any dvd I've converted onto my iTunes? Becuase I don't know how to do that either. Any suggestions help! :)

I am considering buying a plasma tv (possibly a Samsung tommorow) and wanted to know if the Plasmas still have problems with burn-in? I have one LCD in the house and wanted something a little less expensive in a 50 or 60 inch for my bedroom than the LCD. How is the experience you've had with burnin and resolving it? I play PS3 alot and watch a LOT of DVD's.

i mean for originally charging $500 for a Playstation 3 (PS3). I mean I love the system more than XBOX360 but I had to get what was affordable. PS3's aren't selling for Shiza and XBOX's are constantly selling out at Walmart. Playstion you lost my respect along with many other people as well. p.s. we aren't all made of money.
