TVs

I just ordered a 19" LCDTV and was reading about TVs and it states 19" is too small for a living room. That's where the TV will be.

I'm going crazy trying to find answers to this question. Can someone give me an idea of how much difference there is in sharpness of picture (not color or anything else) on a 1080p vs 720p vs standard tv image? Lets say a standard tv image is a 0 and a 1080p is a 100 in terms of sharpness, where would the 720 fall on that scale? Would there be much of a noticeable difference between each one and how much? Thanks.

Ok I'm fairly new to the HD scene, recently I bought a 720p lcd with multiple jacks. Now what I want to know is a scale from best to worst connections and what the quality is for the connections. HDMI/DVI, component, VGA, and s-video. Any help would be great so I don't wase money on expensive cables.

The (US) government announced today a change in their $40 off coupon program. While you can still request your coupons starting on Jan 1, 2008, they will not start sending them out until Feb 17, 2008.

These are for the converters that will let old TVs receive the new over the air digital channels.

See http://www.ntia.doc.gov/ntiahome/press/2007/DTVretailers_121107.html

For the good news: Converters from four companies have been approved as certified for the program: DigitalSTREAM, Zenith, Magnavox, and Philco. They also announced that over 100 retailers have been certified receive the coupons including: Best Buy, Circuit City, Kmart, RadioShack, Sam's Club, Sears, Target, Wal-Mart

Ok, for 10 points, what is the jusiest new tidbit of information that you can come up with about the Coupon eligible converter boxes?

(If you don't know what I'm talking about, see http://dtvfacts.com/ )

I no longer have cable and I cannot get reception at all. It says "no signal" on the tv. Would I get just the basic channels if I hook the tv to my vcr?

I just bought a new Samsung hdtv with the hdtv reciever built into it. It is 720p I think. I am new to the hdtv, so how can i view all the channels in hd? We have a digital cable box with the three a.v. inputs; red, yellow, and white. But when I connected the tv to the box, the channel quality seems lower than before in widescreen. howcome it isn't crystal clear like in the stores? thanks for any advice and help as i am not a technophile type person lol

The bigger shows seem to have the full screen, like the Today show, or Jay Leno. Other shows like our local news have a more square picture, with black screen on each side. Shows from the network when they have the smaller picture will have a filler on each side, with a logo or something, so it is not just black. I have the tv's aspect ratio set as wide as it goes, so it seems like the picture size comes from the transmitting station , or the network. Why do they do this? if a person buys a hi-def set, we would like a full sized picture!

I am getting a PS3 and I am going to purchase a HD TV. I am only buying the tv for the PS3 and want to keep my regular cable. Will I be able to watch regular cable on a HD TV or do I need to switch to something. I am going to get a 26" tv or less, if that helps. Thanks

I played a widescreen dvd that I already have and couldn't ever get it to get rid of the black bars at the top and bottom (tried using the aspect button to change things, no work). Since I have a 42" screen, I'd like to use the whole thing :)

I'm moving to a rental property that has a dish and connections... can I just get a box of some sort to receive TV? Where from, how much, what channels... ? I'm not going to subscribe to SKY at the moment.

Why do video tape recordings appear shaky on my my new LCD television, it also happens with shop purchased films?

2007-12-11 00:03:42 · 6 answers · asked by paulbamsey 1

It will randomly come on and off whenever it feels like it. This used to happen to my other tv when I was younger, but it eventually stopped. I believe it was the remote frequency...someone in the my old neighborhood had the same remote frequency for my tv, so it would turn on and off on their command. This tv is different. it has not stopped. I have to unplug it or completely cut off the power supply to keep it from coming on at all times of the morning and night. What is wrong? How can I fix this problem?

I am buying my Dad a full HD 1080p HDTV for christmas his vision is not perfect so I kind of want to get him a 47" (for $1499) but I found a 42" for $899 and I much prefer that price. Unless there is a big quality difference between Olevia and Vizio it comes down to paying an extra $600 for the extra 5 inches. How much of a difference is there between 42" and 47" HDTV? His viewing distance in his family room is about 7' - 12 feet.
Thanks

If you remember that TV commercial from a few years back, the TV manufacturer showed the television mounted flat upon the ceiling above the users bed. I am just wondering if it is possible.

Thanks.

I just bought a 32' Sharp Aquos from ebay and it says it has the NTSC/ATSC/QAM tuners built in. But it also says on the auction that its hd-ready. I thought that the tuners make it HD built in. On the manufacturers page it doesnt say built in or hd ready. Which one is it and can someone explain why?
