My dad has a 27" RCA Standard Definition CRT Television. He keeps leaving it on when he isn't watching it.Then, he complains about the energy bill.

I want to show my dad exactly how much money he would be saving just by turning it off.

I'm looking for answers that are informative, detailed, and relatively free of grammatical and spelling errors. Speed is always a plus.

If it's not too much to ask, I'd like to get a few answers before 11:00pm CST. I have a very busy schedule, and a full night's sleep is vital in my profession. Thanks in advance!

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?

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

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

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.

Here's the thing. I'm a student and I only have a 10 month tenancy agreement. In order to watch TV in my room I have to get cable activated which i would apparently have to do with Virgin media.
I read their terms and conditions today and it said I'd have to have a tenancy agreement for at least 12 months in order to have them install cable at my place.
Does anyone know abouth another way?

I actually don't want to go with them because I will have to get their phone service too which I don't need at all.

Please help!

The broadcast industry is moving toward conversion of our system to High Definition Television (HDTV), a conversion which presumably will be complete sometime in this decade. This is good news. HDTV is better than EDTV, and much better than regular TV for two reasons. First, it increases the number of scan lines on the screen, so you get much more picture clarity and detail. Second, it gives you a wider picture that looks more like a movie theater screen rather than the old, almost square TV.

So how many more scanlines do you get? Well, there are two popular HDTV formats in use. One is called 1080i, and the other is 720p. But don't worry, there are no format wars to worry about. All digital projectors and digital HDTVs take both formats. The fact is that ABC, ESPN, and Fox broadcast in 720p, while CBS, NBC, HDNet and others use 1080i. Both formats produce great pictures that are a leap forward over regular television. And you will never know the difference. If you are watching Everybody Loves Raymond in high definition on Monday night, and you flip to ABC to see what is happening on Monday Night Football, your projector or HDTV will automatically switch from 1080i to 720p without you even knowing it. All you will be aware of is that both channels look a lot better than they used to with an amazingly clear and detailed widescreen picture.

For those who want a bit more technical explanation, we can say that both formats feature the widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio that defines HDTV. However, the 1080i format has 1080 lines for each frame of video, whereas the 720p format has 720 lines. A lot of people think 1080i is preferred because it has more scanlines, and thus is capable of more picture detail. However, since there is so much data in the 1080-line format, each frame must be separated into even and odd lines and broadcast a half frame at a time in interlaced format, just like the current TV broadcast system. This can introduce the same type of artifacts as we see today, but they are smaller and less noticeable since there are so many scanlines.

The alternative HDTV format is 720-lines progressive scan, or 720p. Though it has fewer lines, the native progressive scan format eliminates motion artifacts that originate in interlacing. So for subject matter that contains a lot of rapid motion—NFL Football for example--you can get a clearer, more stable picture from 720p than you can from 1080i. Alternatively, for subject matter that has very little motion, 1080i is capable of rendering more picture detail.

The truth is that 1080i and 720p are both excellent HDTV formats. One is not better than the other; they are just each better with particular types of subject matter. When done right, both are clearly superior to the 480-line format we have today. And best of all, you will never have to worry about it because your projector or HDTV will sort it all out for you anyway.

no need for hefty cable boxes and long wires, just connect to the internet & interface your computer with your TV & stereo system. Of course, the cable companies can provide their own software which will be installed on our systems to access the cable channels.

How about this idea? Does any cable company already offer such a functionality?
