Blu-ray players make your old DVDs to a full 1080p HD display... so this must mean that buying Blu-ray movies would be pointless... right??

DVDs are cheaper than Blu-ray movies and they both look the same in a Blu-ray player if you have a 1080p TV... am I right or wong?

(bare with me here I am only 17 and not very smart with all of this). I currently own an RCA, rear-projection, HDTV. It's 40 something inches in size. But anyways, our family purchased an HDTV and I was excited mostly so I could game on it with my ps3 and 360. Because I hear HDTV works wonders with those. Anywho, I can't find the RGB plug ins on the TV! I mean it's HD, so it should have the HDMI inputs right? (I think that's what they're called, I'm talking about the green and blue inputs, etc, etc.) I thought all HDTV's had those. I'm disappointed now though. I have the cables and everything and am ready to play these badboys on HD and then I look and the TV doesn't have the right inputs. What is wrong with this picture!?

.


Can we charge mobile phone on an inverter / UPS which is used for a personal computer.

There are two types of mobile phone charger available.
1. Using transformer (old model) heavy weight.
2. Light weight charger (using electronic circuit instead of transformer).

Someone told me that the out put of inverter / ups is NOT pure AC. That is, not pure sine wave but similar to square wave.

If we connect the type 2 (see above) charger to the A.C.output of inverter , then it will damage the charger. (as per my friend his charger got damaged).

Could someone technically explain the cause / truth.

im gettin a PS3 for christmas and so i had a game i went out and bought uncharted. They said uncharted looks AMAZING but how can it look amazing if the box saus its only 720p? most xbox games are 1080i/1080p so how come a PS3 game is only 720p? is this based on the "blue ray scale"? are all PS3 games 720p? any info would help!

Hi everyone.

I've got a vague idea in my head that I want to implement, but I'm not sure if it would be possible for someone who knows nothing!

I want to make a toy (the curiosity sphere from Portal, if you're wondering) and make it to that when it gets bashed or hit or the like, it says the phrases it syas in the game...

But I have no knowledge of circuitry or electronics or the like. And the mere fact I have no clue is only spurring me on to learn about it, especially as I do best learning by doing.

Because I don't know anything about it, I don't really know what to search for (via google, Y! search etc) to find an instructional site aimed towards an absolute beginner like myself. Plus I need one that's actually worthwhile learning from.

I'm hoping that one of you lovely people will have a reccomendation for me, from your own personal experience. As I'd rather have someones review of a site.

Just as a quick side... am I being overly ambitious? lol.

I am trying to find out which WMA to mp3/audio converter is best any suggestions? I have looked a few am not impressed. One issue I have is that if I have a cd of various artist saved as WMA (with correct artist listed on each file) and convert it the artists in the mp3 files all show up as “various artists” not the original artists save in the WMA.

So two questions:

1. which is best
2. which converts the most details

I have an older hi-def tv (3yrs) which has a resolution of 1080i. Since Blu-Ray/Hi-Def can output in a resolution of 1080p is it worth the investment in one of these players or should I upgrade my tv first?
