ALL ELSE BEING EQUAL- What is the difference between a 24" 1080p LED TV vs Monitor FOR USE AS A MONITOR?

best led tv 1080p image

enderw3000

I'm using this as my computer monitor. I have my own speakers and do not need to use TV speakers. I am just asking if theres any difference between the outputs of a 1080p LED TV vs 1080p LED Monitor? (ALL ELSE BEING EQUAL)

Answer
Better refresh, better response time (for the monitor)

Modern monitors are like that? 5ms or even 2ms response time? And monitors will do whatever refresh the video card says to do. :)

Is there a difference between an expensive HMDI cable or a cheap one?

JohnD

Ok what brand should I buy and is there really a difference between an expensive one and a cheap one...im planning on buying and LED TV 1080p either 60hz or 120hz or higher...what cable should I buy with each option (160hz or 60hz)

Answer
the gadget show did this test a while back and found that there is no visible difference between a £100 cable and a £20 cable. as long as you buy a branded cable which is relatively cheap you will find your picture quality will be as it was intended :D dont buy a 99p one of ebay. also be careful to treat the cable with care (do not crease the cable).

What is the minimum TV size for 1080p resolution?

led tv japan image

Ryan Hass

Me and my friend are in an argument over that anything less than 17" TV won't display at 1080p resolution.
Also can you provide a source so I can show my stubborn friend....

Answer
I am not aware of any commodity Full HD 1080p direct-view TVâs smaller than 22 inches though it certainly would be possible if there were sufficient consumer demand. Other than market factors there really isnât a minimum size constraint on Full HD 1080p displays per se. The 22-inch size class HDTV models listed below are but a few examples.

Though the following are not specifically high-definition *televisions,* the TFT-LCD modules, nevertheless, could easily be used to produce very small Full HD 1080p HDTVâs if a manufacturer desired to do so.

ORTUS Technology (Tokyo, Japan) developed a 4.8-inch color liquid crystal display that has a native Full HD 1920 à 1080, 458 ppi (pixels per inch) resolution. (Typically, though not exclusively, flat panel modules in this size range are targeted at the video camera and camcorder marketâ¦more specifically for electronic viewfinder [EVF] applications.)

Were assassinations in feudal Japan and Europe common?

lynche88

In movies and tv shows, there's always one prince trying to kill another prince either by sending Ninja, secret agents, poisons, etc. Did all nobles really have to worry about being assassinated all the time?

Answer
Yes, it was pretty common. Basically back in the feudal ages you had a bunch of elite guys and each one had their own army that would protect them. They were always battling for superiority so this led to many assasinations.

What makes 3d led tv better than others like it?

led tv backlight image

What makes 3d led tv better than others like it?

Answer
There has been a lot of hype and confusion surrounding the introduction of "LED" Televisions. Even many marketing representatives and sales professionals that should know better are falsely explaining what an LED Television is to their prospective customers.

To set the record straight, it is important to note that the LED designation refers to the backlight system used in some newer LCD Televisions, not the chips that produce the image content.

LCD chips and pixels do not produce their own light. In order for an LCD television to produce a visible image the LCD's pixels have to be "backlit". For more specifics on the backlighting process needed for LCD Televisions,

LED TVs are still LCD TVs. It is just that these new sets use LED backlights rather than the fluorescent-type backlights used in most other LCD TVs.

In other words, LED TVs should actually be labeled LCD/LED TVs.

How LED Technology is Used In LCD TVs

The are currently two main ways that LED backlighting is applied in LCD flat panel televisions.

One type of LED backlighting is referred to as Edge Lighting. In this method, a series LED backlights are placed along the outside edges of the screen. The light is then dispersed across the screen. The advantage of this method is that the LED/LCD TV can be made very thin. On the other hand, the disadvantage of Edge lighting is that black levels are not as deep and the edge area of the screen has a tendency to be brighter than the center area of the screen.

The other type of LED backlighting is referred to as Full-Array. In this method, several rows of LEDs are placed behind the entire surface of the screen. The advantage is that these sets can employ "local dimming". Local dimming means that each LED or a specific group of LEDs can be turned on and off independently within certain areas of the screen, thus providing more control of the brightness and darkness for each those areas, depending on the source material being displayed. On the other hand, LCD TVs that employ full array backlighting are thicker than LCD TVs that employ an Edge-lit LED light source.

If you are considering the purchase of an LED/LCD Television, find out which brands and models are currently using the Edge or Full Array method and take of a look at each type when you go shopping to see which type of LED backlighting looks best to you.

Why does my led tv buzz when I dim the lights in my room?

Ryan

I've read other people have had the same problem with led tv's, but usually their problem is corrected when they turn the backlight on their tv all the way up. My tv still buzzes at any backlight setting. I live in a somewhat new house, I wouldn't think that's its a problem with the wiring. When my room lights are turned all the way up their is a faint buzz, but when I dim my lights in my room the buzz gets much louder and I can hear it over the tv at times during quiet scenes. Would a power conditioner help me? or should I consider a replacement tv? Thanks in advance for any help.

Answer
Wow....I use a dimmer and my LED is unaffected. I would change the coaxial cable between the wall and the Cable box (or TV receiver) and/or the coaxial cable (if you're using one) between cable box and TV. I'm suspecting a loose ground shield may cause this type of problem. The dimmer switch itself is probably radiating some noise that's being picked up by the TV. I'm thinking that replacing the TV may not eliminate the problem.

Is there a big difference in picture in an LCD TV compared to an LED TV?

best led tv 1080p image

Cort

Thinking about buying a new 32' tv 1080p maybe with 120hz but probably 60hz but anyways the LED TV's are like $200 more is that just because they are new or are they better?

Answer
The advice you're getting here is more theoretical than practical. The fact is that an "LED" TV is simply an LCD set that uses light emitting diodes for the backlight instead of a fluorescent lamp. Also, whether an "LED" set is dramatically thinner depends on whether it uses edge-lit backlighting or full matrix backlighting. The edge-lit sets are amazingly thin; the full matrix sets are more ordinary.

Your question asks if there is a "big" difference in the picture between the two, and the answer is no. A very good conventional LCD TV will give you a dazzling HD picture and so will almost any "LED" TV. If it has full matrix backlighting, the contrast will be better in specific areas of the screen, but again it's not a "big" difference from a conventional set.

Buy an "LED" TV with edge-lit backlighting if you want a very thin set, or with either type if you want the latest technology and a savings in power consumption. Otherwise, a top-of-the-line conventional LCD set may be the better value and will give you substantially the same quality picture.

What HD TV Can I Get For These Requirements?

Connor Cla

I am looking for an HD 1080p LED TV 120HZ 40'' or bigger. My spending limit is $800 (Yes I know, for these specs its almost impossible) But are there any sales or black friday sails you know of that fits the price for these specs?

Answer
I got a brand new 46" Sony Bravia 1080p LED TV at 120 Hz refresh rate for $805 shipping included off of Amazon about two months ago. Look that up and check out the "used" prices. There is an outlet store that is affiliated with Amazon that sells B-stock items, items with damaged original cartons, etc. (B-stock is refurbished, scratch and dent, factory returns, etc). The TV I got was in a plain cardboard carton instead of the Sony box. But, it was perfect and everything was there.

How much well a pawn shop give me for my lcd tv.?

best led tv 240hz image

daniel est

I have a samsung 42inc LCD 240hz I'm selling to upgrade to a 55inc led tv how much do u think they well give me for it ??

Answer
You should just keep it for a "just in case", pawn shops are doing poorly right now, they overed price stuff, and pay stuff really lower that they should. Give the TV to a close friend, sell it to your friend, keep it in storage. Since all flat screens still have the same chance of being cracked by a Wii remote or any other object. If you 55inch break for some reason you can pull out that 42 inch especially in last minute situation like the SuperBowl.

What is the difference between a computer monitor and an LCD/LED TV of a similar size?

drrouter

I would like to get a large monitor for my vision considerations. What are the major differences between two similar sized TVs and Monitors?

Answer
Computer Monitors
1.) Only go up to 32''
2.) Higher Image Quality. Better at display fine text
3.) Less inputs
4.) Cheaper
5.) Are only available with a refresh rate of up to 120hz
6.) Only higher end or more expensive models can be effectively mounted

LCD/LED
1.) Can go up 80''+
2.) Dollar for dollar image quality of a LCD TV won't match a computer monitor.
(partially with help of the video card)
3.) Far more inputs. Can plug your blu-ray player and all your other devices.
4.) More expensive
5.) Are available with a refresh rate of up to 240hz
6.) Better suited to mount on walls

How much do you think HDTVs will drop in price by April 2010?

best led tv for 700 image

Q. We want a 42" Panasonic 1080p which is $700, but we can't afford that. That is why I want to know how much all HDTVs will drop in price by then. What do you think?

Answer
No one can be sure, but i would think with the new LED tvs, that LCD's and plasma tv prices are gonna sink like a rock. Samsung, LG, Vizio, (that i know of) already have LED tvs on the market. so i would imagine if you want a LCD, it would be cheaper in april and continually dropping in price.

What to do when buying a led tv from craigslist?

Rachit

i'm a first time buyer on craigslist and just want to be safe when purchasing a television.

link:
http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/ele/1807351877.html

legit or not? what questions do i ask?
Thanks.

Answer
Buying electronics from Craigslist is always a risk. But the specs in the ad suggest that everything is there, including the original papers so there's a good chance the deal is legit.

The set sells for about $1100 on Amazon, so your choice is to take a chance on a $700 used set that's had a rough life (see the comments about dings on the cabinet) and no warranty, or invest another $400 for a new one with a new warranty and backing from Amazon (or whoever).

What is causing the interference on the samsung tv?

best led tv lg or samsung image

Alec

I have two 19 inch led tvs-lg and samsung.

samsung is showing high interference (bit error rate)-with strong signal strength.

The lg is pefect.

Even when i used a splitter the samsung showed interference while the lg still had a perfect signal.


Why is this?

Answer
Do you have any carbon florescent light bulbs plugged into the same outlet as the TV? That can cause interference in some sets. Here is a list of tools you can use to combat interference.

F-Type connectors: F-Type connectors provide the most secure connection between cables and wall sockets than your older type RF connector. They also provide better shielding against interference, and therefore you will find F-type sockets on Foxtel boxes, Modems, and in almost all brand new apartment complexes

RG-6 Antenna Cable: RG-6 antenna cable is a visibly thicker type of antenna/coax cable than the older common thin aerial cables, which are known as RG59. RG-6 cables have a much thicker aluminium braid wrapping inside which helps block out nearby interference.

Digital TV Amplifier: This product is ideal for situations where you want to operate two TVs from one antenna. If you use a cheaper splitter, this situation often results with the two TVs receiving a lower quality signal, but if you use an amplified splitter (like Kingray for example) it boosts the signal so you don't lose any quality.

Passive Splitters: Passive splitters can come in a many forms, but generally they are all designed to let you split the signal from one aerial to a couple or more Television sets. Doing this however, will weaken the signal strength, so it's best avoided. If you are forced to use a splitter, you might need a powered splitter as we spoke about above.

Isolator: These commonly come in the form of surge power boards, and they protect your electrical appliances from atmospheric disturbances, spikes, surges and line noise. Even the small power fluctuations that occur every day can be harmful to the long-term life of electronics, so investing in a surge protector can help keep you appliances operating smoothly for longer.

What is the difference between edgelit led, backlit led and edgelit backlit led and Vizio TruLED TV?

Deacon Blu

LG, Samsung, Sharp, Sony, & Vizio are the only ones that I know of that make some kind of LED TV but they all use a different term when they mention the LED lighting.
Which is better?

Answer
Generally...the most expensive ones are the best!

Those are usually the backlit LED TVs(a.k.a. local dimming). They have the highest contrast ratios and best picture qualities! Edge lit LEDs have problems with back light uniformity and have lower contrast ratios!

Vizio's "TruLED" TVs are just their marketing words for backlit LED TVs! Their "RazorLED" TVs are their version of the Edge-lit LED TVs!

Basically...if the LED TV is super thin...it's an Edge-lit! If it's super expensive and not so thin...it's a back lit!

How to fix burn in in a led tv?

Hung

My sony 3d led tv's got a long line of burn in on the left side, I tried to clean it with led screen cleaning solution but no luck. Is there any way that I can fix this?, thanks

Answer
What you have is dead pixel and not burn in. I have never had any luck buying any Sony products at all. I purchase a 32" CRT tv in the 90's and that only lasted less than 3 years, then the first HDTV in the market a 34" HDTV from Sony. That also did not last more than 3 years. 2 DVD players when they first came out model 7000 and 7700 both at over $1,100 each and that also did not last over 3 years. They do not have a very good customer service support, they will just refer you to an authorized repair shop. If you read yahoo questions, you can read many problems from other customer with Sony product problems. My first Plasma tv from Pioneer purchased in 2002 is still running. Also have 4 other Panasonic Plasma tv and no problems. First generation blu ray disc player from Panasonic which is now over 4 years old and played over 300 blu ray disc movies without any problems. You may try calling or email Sony and see what they say. Hope this will help you out.

Steve S

I have a toshiba 40 inch led 60 hertz refresh rate.

Answer
No. And don't worry about it. 120hz does not give you better contrast ratio, color, shadow detail, off angle viewing etc. It also causes other problems like massive response time lag, and artifacts because the frames it creates are not real. Just enjoy the TV that you have.

When do you think all 3D LED TVs will be sold for $2500 at the most?

I have 1 HD LED TV, 2 HD LCD monitors one for PC and PS3. I do not plan on buying any other screens for about 1-2 or more years, with all these games that support 3D and along with PS Move I really want one though, but for the right price. I prefer $1500 over $2500 anytime when I'm buying lol, do you think they'll go that low?

Answer
The technology is still quite new (though the concepts have been around for decades). So the prices are going to be high for a couple years, though down the line with more players and buyers, the prices could become reasonable.

Best non-contract Android tablet for under $300?

best 70 led tv 2012 image

Tycoonman

As the title states, I'm looking for a Wi-Fi Android 2.2 tablet for under $300.
Jerry, you are 100% wrong. Most Android tablets are less than iPad (which are junk), and are great. I have an android tablet and I only payed $90 for it.... the Kindle is a primary an ebook reader. I hope that was a joke, because the whole point of a tablet is very different than the whole point of an ebook reader. At least recommend a Nook that can run Android if you are going to comment complete rubbish.

Answer
Date 5/5/2011-
The person recommending Kindle has obviously does not understand what Tablet means. Now i think that addiction to answer online questions without any knowlege can actually earn you "Top Contributor" title.

Anyways, i am also looking for answer to same question. Hope my analysis helps you decide which one is best for you.

Here are the main features an Android tablet can have (not in the order of importance):
Almost all the features below can be had under $300 as of 5/5/2011.

- Screen : size (i prefer 7")
type: capacitative is better (vs. resistive),
resolution: at least 800 x 480 for 7" (higher the better)
other features: Multi-touch (for pinch zooming), if possible LED (vs. LCD)

- Processor : dual core or at least Cortex A8, 800 Mhz (i prefer 1 Ghz)

- RAM : at least 512 MB

- OS : Adroid 2.2 or later and upgradable (this is important) with Adriod Market

- Storage: Depends on your need (i want at least 8 gb, if there's SD slot, see below)

- SD/MicroSD card slot: to expand storage by (i want high capacity upto 32 GB)

- Flash support is a must, preferably Adobe 10.1 (that's why iPad is junk for me)

- wifi-N (be careful many tabs have only wifi-b/g not n)

- Battery life: Most low end tablets give 4-5 hours which is good enough for me

- Bluetooth

- sim card slot and 3G support

- Camera (back and front) : (i can live with only a front cam for video chatting that i do probably once/twice a year) i don't expect to run around and take pics with my tablet :)

- GPS

- HDMI output to TV

- Replaceble battery

- Campass

- US based seller (stay away from chinese sellers)
/********************************************************************************************/

Here are some of the quality tablets that come very close to my expectations with their pros/cons. None fulfils my expectation to make me buy it, so i will either wait for 6 months for Android 3 tablets with other features, or buy Coby Mid7024 for $175 for now and then buy a proper Android 3 tablet next year or 2012.

- Coby 7024 ($180) :1ghz cpu, 512mb RAM, SD slot upto 32gb, OS 2.2, resistive, HDMI out, webcam, Flash, wifi-G, USB
BUT no multi-touch, no bluetooth, no GPS, no 3G, No wifi-N, no Andriod market (rooting avlbl), only 4gb storage,

- Viewsonic viewpad 7 ($300): weak 600 Mhz cpu, 512mb ROM, SD slot upto 32gb, OS 2.2, capacitive, multi-touch, dual camera, blue-tooth, g-sensor, compass, quad band 3G, GPS, android market, leather cover
BUT no wifi-N (only G), no flash, no HDMI, no OS upgrade possible, no internal storage

- Archos 70-8gb ($270): 1ghz Cortext A8 cpu, 256mb RAM, SD slot upto 32gb, OS 2.2, capacitive, multi-touch, web-camera, blue-tooth, g-sensor, HDMI, wifi-N, Flash 10,
BUT 256mb RAM , may be a issue for OS upgrade, no GPS, no compass

- huawei ideos s7 slim ($249): 768 Mhz CPU, 256 MB RAM, OS 2.2, 3G, Resistive, SIM card slot,SD slot upto 16GB, Bluetooth, Flash support, GPS, Wifi N, Duel Camera, android Market, HDMI, compass(?)
BUT resistive screen, 256 MB RAM, SD slot only upto 16Gb
Wait for summer 2011 models : S7 Pro ($300+)

Need a hdtv with a glossy screen finish or a darker glass finish, please help?

best led tv with matte screen image

John Thomp

I am looking for a hdtv that is preferrably still available in store now that has the following key features in them:

I want the tv to have a glossy screen finish rather than a matte screen finish. It would be great if it was a glass finish but as long as it is a glossy finish and the key is that I am able to see my reflection in the tv. Now the problem is that with the plasma tv's the screen is glossy and everything but the screen itself it like a light grey glass. I preferr a a little darker screen finish but still be able to see my reflection in it. The whole idea is that I want the colors to be popping out and the colors to be vivid and intense exactly like how it used to be with my old CRT TV. Something like the glass like finish of the Dell Laptop would be nice.

I noticed with the plasma tvs is that it isn't too bright the picture. I prefer a very vivid and vibrant picture with the colors popping out. The problem with LCD TV's is that the picture has like a cloud like cover because it is a matte finish on most of the LCD Tvs. A lot of the LED TV's are not that great either. However what I am looking for again is a tv with a gloss screen or a glass screen finish the glass has to be a bit darker than say the panasonic plasma tv's so that I can be sure to be able to see my reflection in it and for the colors to be popping out and vibrant and hopefully no cloud cover like the LCD TV's. Can you please give me an exact model name and number and where in the local stores can I find this tv on display. I must have tried like 10 to 12 hdtvs in the past 2 years and none of them so far have met all my needs. Hopefully there is still a tv out there that will satisfy me all the way. Let me know the details. Thanks
Hi LG sherman, the thing is I want it to be very glossy with a glass like finish not a matte finish at all and another thing I don't want 3d or the internet. That is not important. What's important is the glass like finish and the tv to be reflective and the type of screen to be a little darker than the panasonic plasma tv. Another thing is I want the colors to be popping out without being covered by a cloud. Thanks.

Answer
Hello, John Thomponian! LG WRman Sherlock here!

The LG LM series TVs come with a semi-matte finish on the screens. They are definitely reflective, but not by much. In addition, the LM series TVs are all LED TVs with IPS panels, so you will definitely get a bright, vivid picture. Definitely check them out the next time you go looking at TVs!

The LM series consist of the LM6200, LM6400, LM6700, LM7600, LM8600, and LM9600.

LG WRman Sherlock, out!

Is there a big difference between matte and glossy screens?

The laptop that I want only comes in matte.
My old desktop and college laptops are in matte and the quality is just terrible when compared to my glossy 15" laptop or 40" LED TV.

I can barely look at them, I get eye strain and feel depressed.. which is somewhat strange...

I'm unsure if it's because my desktop is a few years older and the screens on the laptops have bad graphics cards or perhaps they have damage-resistant layers?

Anyway, could you tell me just how different matte is from glossy.
I get 0 reflections on my current glossy screen as my lamp and lights in the house all have shades. In my bedroom the windows face the back of my laptop, hence no glare.

Thank you

Answer
Hi troll,

Glossy screens have vibrant colors and high contrast and brightness because they have a smooth, high-gloss surface. Glossy screens use optical coating to reduce the amount of reflected external light. Their shiny surfaces reflect more light than matte displays. In controlled environments, such as darkened rooms, or rooms where all light sources are diffused, a glossy display may be more enjoyable for the viewer.

Matte screens have anti-glare finish, to scatter the reflected light. Matte screens diffuse light instead of reflecting it so they might be easier to read outdoors, if the backlight provides enough brightness.This characteristic, however, has a number of side effects, which include scattering the light from the display and increasing the blur. Additionally, it results in reduction of the contrast ratio, color intensity, and viewing angle.

Hope the information is useful to you.

Thanks and Regards

Please help me weigh the pros and cons of using an LED TV as a computer monitor?

best led tv for computer image

B.L.T.

Hi! I am about to purchase a pc and i was wondering if using a high def LED TV would be a good alternative as opposed to using a traditional high def LED monitor. In my mind, using a TV for a pc monitor would be a better choice but the more i think about it, something in the back of my mind tells me hat its a case of something being too good to be true. Btw, both the TV and the monitor's brand is the same and the price is almost the same to the point that the difference price wise is negligable for me. Thanks!

Answer
Pros:
-simple to use
-can operate the screen with a remote
-can switch to tv whenever you like
-can use hdmi and most tvs have vga

Negatives:
-May be a bit warmer than actual pc screens
-slight eye strain

These are from experience. You should be fine using a tv as pc monitor

How does the color black make LED TVs better?

Sean

Everyone makes a big deal about the black levels in LED TV's, but how does it make the picture any better?

Answer
On regular fluorescent backlit LCD TVs more light leaks through the liquid crystal pixels for the parts that are supposed to be "black" so it may look like a washed out gray instead of black. LED TVs are not as bad, but plasma and CRT are the only ones that can do real black. As an extreme example, turn the Brightness (not the Contrast) all the way up on your TV or computer monitor.... the picture won't look as good, now will it?

How can I get the best possible picture on my tv?

mad man

i have the new samsung 46 inch full hd 1080p lcd led tv with a 1000w samsung 5.1 surround sound also full hd the dvd player. I have them connected through hdmi and i would really like to know 2 things 1. how can i get the best possible picture through dvd. and 2. my surround sound only works with dvds how can i connect it to work with the cable tv aswell

Answer
In order to get surround sound through cable TV you will need a digital cable box as only digital cable is encoded with surround sound. Also it will vary depending if the channel broadcasts surround sound and if the show is available in surround sound. DVD's will have surround sound but the picture will just be up-scaled only Blu-ray has true HD picture.

What makes 3d led tv better than others like it?

What makes 3d led tv better than others like it?

Answer
There has been a lot of hype and confusion surrounding the introduction of "LED" Televisions. Even many marketing representatives and sales professionals that should know better are falsely explaining what an LED Television is to their prospective customers.

To set the record straight, it is important to note that the LED designation refers to the backlight system used in some newer LCD Televisions, not the chips that produce the image content.

LCD chips and pixels do not produce their own light. In order for an LCD television to produce a visible image the LCD's pixels have to be "backlit". For more specifics on the backlighting process needed for LCD Televisions,

LED TVs are still LCD TVs. It is just that these new sets use LED backlights rather than the fluorescent-type backlights used in most other LCD TVs.

In other words, LED TVs should actually be labeled LCD/LED TVs.

How LED Technology is Used In LCD TVs

The are currently two main ways that LED backlighting is applied in LCD flat panel televisions.

One type of LED backlighting is referred to as Edge Lighting. In this method, a series LED backlights are placed along the outside edges of the screen. The light is then dispersed across the screen. The advantage of this method is that the LED/LCD TV can be made very thin. On the other hand, the disadvantage of Edge lighting is that black levels are not as deep and the edge area of the screen has a tendency to be brighter than the center area of the screen.

The other type of LED backlighting is referred to as Full-Array. In this method, several rows of LEDs are placed behind the entire surface of the screen. The advantage is that these sets can employ "local dimming". Local dimming means that each LED or a specific group of LEDs can be turned on and off independently within certain areas of the screen, thus providing more control of the brightness and darkness for each those areas, depending on the source material being displayed. On the other hand, LCD TVs that employ full array backlighting are thicker than LCD TVs that employ an Edge-lit LED light source.

If you are considering the purchase of an LED/LCD Television, find out which brands and models are currently using the Edge or Full Array method and take of a look at each type when you go shopping to see which type of LED backlighting looks best to you.

Color Schemes For a Teenage Girls Bedroom?

massikur

I would like my room to look more appealing. Right now it looks to.... bland. I can't paint my walls, my walls are white btw. I have a dark wood bed, vanity, nightstand, and bookcase. I am getting a white desk, and a white mini bookcase or storage bench for my school work (haven't decided yet, im home schooled.) And i am painting my TV stand white. I wanted to get cream colored stuff but that didn't work out.

I was thinking the main colors in my room could be turquoise with accents of another color maybe a dark pink or raspberry. (y'all can choose other colors.) Also should I have another accent color of white or black?

Why does the media avoid the obvious conclusion that vegetarian diets are healthier?

Crocoduck

If you read through the news headlines, you'll often hear about scientific studies finding things such as
*Vegetable protein reduces the chance of heart disease
*Red meat increases the risk of diabetes, cancer and heart disease; processed meat is even worse
*Consumption of high-fat high-calorie burgers causes heart disease
*Consumption of beans, lentils, nuts, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables reduces the risk of heart disease and cancer (Basically they're saying that any natural vegetarian food reduces the chance of heart disease and cancer - but they won't ever say the word Vegetarian)
*Seafood contains high levels of Mercury; this is especially hazardous for pregnant women

What you won't ever hear about is any scientific evidence that meat prevents any known disease - because there is no scientific evidence that meat consumption prevents any disease from occurring.

There is only one obvious conclusion that all of these findings are pointing towards - that meat consumption is not necessary, and that vegetarian diets are actually healthier. Yet, you'll never hear that conclusion in a news headline. Instead you'll just read "eat more beans and whole grains", "eat less red meat", etc..

Answer
As Proud Vegan stated, the meat and dairy industries are multibillion-dollar corporations; they have extremely powerful lobbyists and enough money to control much of our government, research and media.

A few examples: It is a well-established fact that the meat, dairy and egg industries "blatantly overstep ethical boundaries through the lobbying tactics they exert over federal officials and the U.S. Department of Agriculture." The Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine (PCRM) successfully sued the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for concealing the fact that more than six of the eleven members of the USDA's Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (which creates the Dietary Guidelines for the entire nation) have deep personal financial ties to the meat, dairy, or egg industries which constitute a severe conflict of interests (such that foods proven to be unhealthy still remain in the governmentâs diet plan). Although the courts ruled in favor of PCRM, these USDA members continue to serve on the board.

The USDA was also attacked when they attempted to implement "Meatless Mondays" in their agency offices. Their newsletter's "Greening Headquarters Update" read in part: "While a vegetarian diet could have a beneficial impact on a personâs health and the environment, many people are not ready to make that commitment. Because Meatless Monday involves only one day a week, it is a small change that could produce big results. According to the U.N., animal agriculture is a major source of greenhouse gases and climate change. It also wastes resources. In addition there are many health concerns related to the excessive consumption of meat.") When the National Cattlemenâs Beef Association and livestock produces publically expressed outrage, the USDA immediately withdraw their newsletter and issued the following public statement: âU.S.D.A. does not endorse Meatless Monday. [The newsletter] was posted without proper clearance."

In addition to their control over the USDA and other government agencies, the meat, dairy and egg industries (which are very heavily subsidized by the government) leap into action against anyone they perceive to be slandering them. For example, when Oprah Winfrey interviewed former cattle rancher Howard Lyman on her TV show, the Texas cattlemen association (led by billionaire Paul Engler) filed suit against Oprah, her guest, Harpo Productions (which produces Oprah) and King World Syndicator for supposedly violating Texas' "Food Disparagement" law by portraying the animal agricultural industry in an unflattering light.

Although "Food Disparagement Laws" purport to apply to all food, it is fairly uncommon for anyone to speak out against the practices of broccoli farming. It is the horrifying, unethical and unsanitary practices of animal agriculture which cause legitimate concern for individual health, social welfare and the environment. From Wikipedia: "Food libel laws, also known as food disparagement laws have been passed in 13 U.S. states to make it easier for food producers to sue their critics. These 13 states include Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Texas. Many of the food-disparagement laws establish a lower standard for civil liability and allow for punitive damages and attorney's fees for plaintiffs alone, regardless of the case's outcome. Food libel laws typically allow a food manufacturer or processor to sue any person or group who makes disparaging comments about their food products. In some states these laws also establish different standards of proof than are used in traditional American libel lawsuits, including the practice of placing the burden of proof on the party being sued."

In Oprah's case, the court ruled against the cattlemen. However, most targets of the meat, dairy and egg industry (whether individuals or corporations) don't have Oprah's resources and are unable to fight back... and in fact even Oprah no longer speaks publicly on the issue (she even refuses to make videotapes of the original TV interview available).

These are just a few examples of the incredible power and reach of the meat, dairy and egg industries. Although the science coming from our leading medical institutions (Cornell, Harvard, et cetera) is overwhelming in favor of vegan and vegetarian diets, there is not currently enough financial power (or political will) to fight these incredibly powerful and monopolizing industries. Worse yet, the so-called "Ag-gag laws" (which make it illegal for concerned employees or citizens to view or report on abuses observed with the animal agricultural industries) are making it harder than ever for activists to reveal the truth about animal agriculture and factory farming.

I have a 40" Seiki HD Led TV that I got for X-mas and it is weird to play CoD Black Ops 2. I was curious if I need to set up the TVs picture in a specific way? My HD component cords are hooked up and I have my Xbox on the HD 1080p settings. Can anyone help me, please?

Answer
If you're referring to the lagtime between the video out from the XBOX to your TV, the time of this lag is so minute that it is incomprehensible to the human eye. I think you're fine, mate.

How do I fix the delay between my tv and xbox!?

Bill

I just bought a Sharp LED, and I hooked up my Xbox, and there is a delay. Everybody knows you cant play Call of duty with a delay!! Plz help

Answer
When the console is set to 1080p this will give you best graphics but lower refresh rate which causes delay

Setting it to 720p will lower the quality slightly but will give a higher refresh rate
