TVs

I just purchased a samung 50" plasma model number hp-t5064 and i have a slight yet tolerable problem with it and i heard that what i am expieriencing is fairly normal on plasma sets. this plasma also is considered top of the line for its class. anyway i notice that sometimes scenes that show alot of black seem to have a slight greenish tint to them, i noticed that my local newscaster who has very black hair had a little of a green outline around all his hair. is this whats refeered to as false contouring or color banding? its hooked up to standard direct tv reciever using a s-video cable, maybe its the reciever or the cable. next week its gonna be hooked up to a direct tv hd reciever with a component or hdmi cable maybe that will help. ??

MY LG LCD TV's picture goes black about 3 seconds after turning on the TV. The sound is fine and turning the TV off and on again doesn't work anymore.
Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

I live in a rural area with not-great reception, and no access to cable or satellite. My husband says that the television he had several years ago got much better reception than the one we have now. Did televisions change their internal antennas?
Also, we do have an antenna in the attic, and we tried adjusting it (didn't help). Is there a particular type of antenna that would work best?
Thank you!

On Feb. 17, 2009, analog TV's will be rendered useless. Owners of this type of TV will have to use a converter box to pick up cable television.

Do you think this is really an "advancement" of cable, or a ploy by cable companies to make yet MORE money off of their subscribers?

We got a new SONY HDMI flatscreen TV. On our old TV, I could just hook up the 3 red/white/yellow cords from TV to VCR and it worked fine. But on this new TV, I tried doing that but the picture won't show. Do I have to get an S-video cord?

...I just want a TV (19" or smaller) for my last year at college and probably won't own it longer than that. I need something that I can get shipped to my school address because I won't be able to travel with it. Do regular stores even sell them anymore...because everything I've found are way too expensive flat screen LCD, HDTV or something of the sort.

I have Verizon Fios and its similar to satellite for my reference to where you watch everything on channel 3, so i tried to hook it up to the HD part of my TV to make sure all is well before i order HD service, but when i hooked it up it said i had to scan channels before anything. SO, when i tried to scan channels it wouldnt find any, not even on channel 3 where the input is coming from, and i dont have just basic channels anywhere in the house so i dont know what to do. Any ideas?

I have a SONY Bravia 40" LCD. It is 6 mos. old, my 3yr old grandson hit it with a plastic drinking cup.The outside doesn't even have a smuge but the interscreen looks like someone has drawn cracks on it when it is turned on. Was it defective?
Why didn't the outer screen protect it? Sony refused for 48 days to even look at it, they will not cover it neither will my homeowners insurance.Do I have any other options? Are LCD's that fragile?

Have no idea what to ask for my 32 inch Panasonic TV set. It is 7 years old, but has an excellent picture and sound. It's just outdated is all. What should I ask for it? Thanks.

Ok guys and gals this is my last question about High Definition TV's I promise! As some of you may know from my previous questions I am going to be buying a HD TV soon and keep changing my mind about which one to get. I think I have now narrowed it down to 2 and would love your input on whether I get the Pionner PDP-427XD Plasma (not the 4270XD) or the Sharp LC-42XD1E LCD.

I have read countless reviews and articles about the 2 but just cannot make up my mind on which one to get. Both have their pro's and con's over the other ie The Sharp is Full HD and the Pioneer is not but I have read article which say don't be too influenced by the TV being 1080p and that Plasma's are the way to go for larger screen (37inch +).

So it's down to you to help me choose.

hello everyone. we just purchased a Sony 46" LCD TV and its great and blahblah (if not a bit big.. hehe). well now my dad tells us we must buy HD tv services instead of regular cable or something. (or something like "digital cable with HD.")

anyways, what are the steps? i know that news channels such as "eyewitness news 7" are in high definition, but what does that mean? does that mean that for the viewers with regular TVs, the "HD" doesnt make a difference? and for viewers with PLasmas and LCDs and all that good stuff, it does make a difference? thats a wild guess im taking but basically,
im asking HOW DO PARTICULAR CHANNELS/NEW STATIONS BEING IN "HIGH DEF." AFFECT THEIR AUDIENCES? is the difference in the TV itself or the type of cable service we have??
