Original W


hello, i was wondering if anyone in the tv sales or home theatre communities thought that with the release of oled (organic light emiting diode) or 4k resolution tvs sometime in 2013, that the price of tvs that aren't oled or 4k will drop much like standard definition tvs dropped in price when high def came out? In case your wondering im looking at the price of a Panasonic Viera Tcp50st30. THANK YOU


Answer
Yes the prices will go down, but not all of a sudden. Like all other electronics, the prices are constantly going down. Even when HDTVs came out, the prices on standard television didn't dropped overnight. Also, OLEDs TVs and 4k TVs are still a novelty, with only very pricey model are available to the general public. It will take 2-3 years to become mainstream and to challenge the plasma/lcd/led prices.

This is especially true if you want to buy a very specific model, like your case. If you are willing to wait that model would be when the new models will come out (so the stores need to sell their old stock). This is usually in the February-April time frame.

How much do hdtv prices drop over a years time?

Hello, I'm planning on saving up for a Samsung LED HDTV. I'd like it to be 55 inches or more, I don't really care to have smart technology, and I'd love for it to be one of the ultra slim ones. It seems for 55 inches I'll be paying about 1100 dollars, for 60 inches its 1300 dollars, and any more than that, they automatically add the smart technology so its 2,500 or above. But I was just wondering how much a tv's price may drop in about a year from now. I've seen that 55 inch LED's used to be 2200 dollars but now they are 800-1200. How much do these prices usually drop in about a year with the new technology?

This is the tv I plan on buying:

Answer
It's a tough thing to figure.

A particular model that you like may have a limited shelf-life. Manufacturers tend to make new models in order to keep prices up. Though the price of model 55-123LED (making this model number up) may be $1500 right now...conventional wisdom means that this model should be cheaper next year. The problem is that the manufacturer stops making this model and replaces it with the 55-321LED. Though it is completely identical to the old one...it is a 2013 model and therefore will still be worth the $1500 as a 'current' model.

The best time to purchase last years model is just before/just after the new ones hit the shelves. Stores will cut prices to make room for the new ones. If you wait to long though...you will find last years models hard to find.

A couple of tips for you:
A Good sale can happen anytime. It doesn't have to be Black Friday, Columbus Day, etc. Keep an eye on weekly ads from the major retailers in your area...as well as the online shops. With Price-Matching (which most major retailers offer)...anyone's sale could be a sale for your local store.

Don;t be afraid to ask for a discount. You have to believe that EVERYTHING is negotiable. You don;t have to be rude about it...just a simple "Is there any other way to save money on this TV?" I got 5% off my TV at Fry's Electronics simply by calling the manager over and asking if they're was any way he could save a few bucks (told him I was just a bit short on covering the full cost + taxes). Salesman/managers may know of coupons, etc that can save a few bucks.

I want a 40" led or lcd and i fpund one on sear for 250 but it was out of stock in both the store and online and found one at walmart and bestbuy for about 300 or 280 any placebi can get a cheaper one ( i have checked ebay and cant find a good deal)


Answer
Newegg.com is generally good for electronics.

Otherwise, go to Costco. I'm sure you know someone with a membership, or just pay for a 1 day pass (I think they still have these.) Costco carries good TVs at low prices and their customer service is excellent. They can deliver the TV for free if you want.

Do not shop solely by price. A $250-300 TV from a no-name brand manufacturer will end up costing you more than if you had just bought a good set in the first place.

Buying a flat screen with my tax return, where can I get the best deal?




T!ka :)


Looking to buy a 32 inch, the cheapest I can find one in the flyers (from best buy, walmart, shopko, etc..) is about $230. I guess I would be willing to pay that much, but if I can find a better deal somewhere online I would deffinitely go for it.

Also, what's the difference between lcd, led, plasma, etc..?



Answer
Plasma is older technology and not used for smaller screens at all anymore. I still see a few large (>50") 3DTVs using it but that's it.

LCD is by far the most common now and is the same technology your computer monitor or laptop screen uses.

LED refers to the lighting the LCD screen uses. Instead of a halogen light bulb, these use LED lights (LEDs are those small bright lights you see on appliances, usually for on/off buttons, etc.) Using LEDs allows for a brighter screen, better contrast, lower power consumption and a thinner screen. I don't think many manufacturers are using LEDs on anything smaller than 40". At any rate since LED is the newest technology it's also the most expensive. Personally, if you can afford a LED screen, go for it but you definitely won't be disappointed with an older LCD screen.

In general, look at buying a TV from a major brand name. I like Samsung, Sharp, or Pioneer. Sony is also good but they tend to be overpriced. If you need a good bargain brand, look at Vizio.

I have a 32" LCD TV from Acer...who usually makes PCs or monitors. As a result the store was very confused where to put this thing...is it a monitor with a TV tuner? Or a TV that can act as a monitor? At any rate it was $300 when I bought it last summer. It's 1080p, it's bright, it's beautiful, it makes a great computer monitor and TV, what more do you want?

Or, just go to Costco and buy a TV there. Their prices are good, their service, warranty, and return policy are all great.

Which is the best projection tv for gaming, that is over 60 inches in size?

led tv 60 inch samsung image

I know someone whose bought two tvs, one was a plasma and the other was a Samsung 61 in. projection tv. Both tvs started having problems when we started playing video games, the tv started showing pinkish pixels, and he returned the tvs. Right now I'm looking for a good projection tv because they're cheaper in price than the flat plasmas or LCDs, and I heard they were good for gaming. So I was wondering if anyone could tell me what model tv that is bigger than 59 in. is really good.


Answer
dlp is your answer. unfortunately for ben, sony no longer makes projection tvs. any sony you see is simply a last year model. they have committed to their lcd lines. Samsung a750 series dlp tvs would be what i would look for. they make a 61 and 67 inch version. the nice factor here is the LED panels. instead of that annoying lamp you have to replace every 8,000 hours(if you are lucky to get that) the LED is rated at 60,000 hours. This tv has a great black level for a projo and beautiful color and will run you around $2200(msrp is $2500) or the price of a 46lcd or 50 plasma. enjoy and snipe someone like you are there:)

What should I be looking for when buying a new TV?




Zeiinab


Yes we still own those ugly pregnant TVs haha.
We're upgrading and I wanted to know what the best TVs are.
My dads refuses to look at any other company but Sony (bravia).
Someone I know recently got a Samsung smart TV but it was a really crappy screen display.
I know LCD LED over plasma any day I studied it in school but there is so many to choose from.
Which is best?



Answer
- Top brands: Panasonic (Plasma) > Samsung (LED) > Sony (LED) > LG (LED). Top off brands for LED: Vizio, Toshiba, Phillips.
= Plasma has best picture and audio quality. Plasma has least/no motion blur problems (less blur for more crisp/clear/higher resolutions and best contrast ratios for best color quality especially for blacks and best frequency/hz response times.ect). Newer Plasmas have improved their burn in problems by using technologies like pixel shifting/scrolling. Newer Plasmas haved improved their screen glare problems (and set vivid mode for bright rooms, has other picture modes depending on lighting of room). Newer plasmas use less energy consumption and last longer. Plasma are cheaper to buy, that's why LED is more popular because they want you to buy more expensive cheap made tv's (LCD is becoming discontinued because LED is a LCD tv with LED back/edge lights which improves many things like Plasma).

- I recommend 1920x1080 for movies, computer monitor/display, some tv shows, and some game console games and I recommend 1920x720 for some tv shows and some game console games. I recommend 40+ inches for movies and/or tv shows and 20-30 inches for computer monitor and 30-40 inches for game console games.
- FPS (frames per second): Every video consists of a number of frames per second, think of a video as a fast moving flip book. NTSC countries use 60i or 30i FPS (newer stations use 30p or 60p FPS) for tv shows. PAL/SECAM countries use 50i or 25i FPS (newer stations use 25p or 50p FPS) for tv shows. Movies use 24p/25p FPS (first movie to use 48p was LOTR: The Hobbit). Games use anywhere to 2 to 120 FPS (older games use lower FPS while newer games use higher FPS).
- TV refresh rate (measured in hz): Example, A tv with a refresh rate of 120 hz means it refreshes/flashes the entire screen 120 times a second.

- How do LED or LCD tv refresh rates work with the FPS of a video? (I recommend real/true 240hz refresh rate, some tv advertising may fool you by listing the fake interpolation or fake backlight scanning/dimming refresh rates).
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_interpolation (Names of the new technologies for newer tv's at the link): Motion Interpolation or Motion Compensated Frame Interpolation (MCFI), is a form of video processing in which new fake frames are generated between existing ones to up the FPS of a video to reduce motion blur and/or for judder removal/judder adjustment. MCFI video processing may cause gamer input lag and/or artifacts such as the soap opera effect (may ruin the look of a video).
- Many tv's allow viewers to turn motion interpolation (MCFI) off. The tv repeats the frames a certain number of times to match the tv's refresh rate. Example; To display 24 frames per second on a tv with a 120 hz refresh rate, each frame is repeated 5 times every 24th of a second.
- But what happens if the FPS of a video does not match the refresh rate of the tv? Then you get a pulldown, a pulldown is what causes a jittery screen (aka judder) because the tv repeats the odd frames a different amount of times the tv repeats the even frames. Example; A 3:2 pulldown is post popular because it is needed to match a 24 fps video with a 60hz refresh rate tv, odd frames are repeated 3 times (12x3=36) and even frames are repated 2 times (12x2=24) and 36+24=60 FPS for a 60hz refresh rate tv.

How does Plasma tv refresh rates work with the FPS of a video?
- It will take each pixel in a frame and and repeat it a number of times based on the number of sub-field drives (SFD) the tv has with it's refresh rate. Example 1; (NTSC countries) 600hz sub-field drive/motion tv means 60hz FPS x 10 sub-fields per frame = 600hz refresh rate. Example 2; (PAL/SECAM countries) 600hz sub-field drive/motion tv means 50hz FPS x 12 sub-fields per frame = 600hz refresh rate.
- What is focused-field drive (FFD) on Neo-Plasmas? (Light switching speed = better colors and less motion blur) 2500hz focused field drive means sub-fields are virtually packed into 1/2500th of a second as a sharp impluse, creating crisp motion images even in very very fast movining images (FFD is defined as a inverse of light emission period t. 1/t = 1/0.4ms = 2,500 FFD). Regular sub-feild drives like 50 FPS x 12 sub-fields = 600 hz, light emission spreads as wide as 1 field time (1/60th sec) maximum which results in blurry images for very very fast moving images.
- Refresh rates on Plasmas work similar to LED/LCD tv's. These settings are usually automatic, but you can change them in the advanced picture settings, Example 1; 2D 24p FPS mode and choose refresh rates of 48hz/96hz or 30hz/60hz with pulldown (might use interpolation frames for pulldowns), Example 2; 3D mode and choose refresh rates of 96hz for 24 FPS or 100hz for 50 FPS or 120hz for 60 or 24 fps.ect Of course it has gamer mode or many other adjustments.

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

 on Screen TV Wall Mount Bracket for 32-65 inch Plasma, LED, and LCD TVs ...
best led tv 32 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 makes 3d led tv better than others like it?

 on LED TV vs. LCD TV: Whats the diff? | Technoodling

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.

Is having an LED TV vs LCD Tv going to make any difference when watching Dish Network?




Jag


I am thinking whether to spend $200 more on an Samsung LED 120 Hz TV vs Samsung LCD 120 Hz Tv. Do you think the picture quality of an LED TV will be better when watching HD Channels on Dish Network?


Answer
The claim that "LED gives better picture quality than LCD" is one of the most common myths in this business.

In the first place, an "LED" set is nothing more than an LCD set with a newer type of backlighting. They both have the same LCD display.

In the second place, lab tests and owner reviews demonstrate that the important factor in picture quality is the specific model of a set, not its brand or whether it uses LED backlighting. While LED technology does provide advantages, there definitely are conventional LCD sets with better picture quality than certain low-rated "LED" sets. You need to carefully look at test results and user reviews in order to make a valid decision.

So the bottom line for you, in my opinion, is no--the picture quality difference, if any, won't justify another $200, unless the specs, reviews, etc. of the cheaper set suggest otherwise.

Where should I put my tv antenna?

lcd tv near window
 on ... LCD/Plasma TV in Thailand Consumer Electronic Market beneath VRN Brand
lcd tv near window image



K


My tv used to have good reception but recently I moved in to a new apartment and the reception is bad there! Should I put the antenna close to my tv or near the window?

p.s. my tv is a small lcd tv and the antenna isn't cheap costs around $30 something.



Answer
>Should I put the antenna close to my tv or near the window?

You need a length of coax cable so you can experiment! Long enough to reach any possible spot in the apartment would be ideal.

>Should I put the antenna close to my tv

It's unlikely that your TV is in the best spot for reception.

Indoor TV antennas can be very sensitive to location because the materials the building is made from interfere with the TV signals.

>near the window?

That depends. Does the window face the direction the signals come from? Does it have old fashion glass (transparent to TV signals) or new energy efficient glass (can act as a mirror to TV signals).

Any flat metal surface will reflect TV signals, that includes foil backed insulation & metallic window screens. Materials like brick, dirt, and water will absorb TV signals.

Usually the higher you can get the antenna, the better the signal.

It helps to know what direction & distance your local TV transmitters are in. In the US you can find this info at: http://www.tvfool.com/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=29 If you are somewhere else, eh, where are you ?

Is it really bad for your eyes to watch tv and stare at a computer?




DL


I was wondering if it truly is bad for your eyes to watch a lot of tv and/or sit in front of a computer often. My friends watch more tv than I do and they go on the computer more often as well, but ALL of them have better eyesight than me.


Answer
Yes, it is really bad- aside from the rays/light (whatever), because your staring at objects that are near all the time- your eyes get used to that- which will weaken them. Every 5-10 minutes or so, you should get up and look out of the window at something that's far away and focus on it. It also depends on the type of TV or monitor you're staring into... try to use an LCD flatscreen and reduce the brightness/contrast.

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

Can I downgrade from a 32 inch tv to a 24 inch?

best led tv hdtv image



Christwarr


My 32 inch LCD Emerson hdtv broke, will it be that much of a downgrade to go to a 24 inch LED Vizio TV. Basically I am looking at either a 24 inch vizio or a 32 inch LED element tv. I have never heard of element and saw mixed reviews, but it is made in America, which I like. Will an Element 32 inch led tv last, or will it break in two years like my Emerson did?


Answer
You're going down 12 inches so you will notice the difference. It has been my experience that you get what you pay for so if you buy an off brand TV be prepared for it to go out in a year. Basically they take advantage of the poor by making them pay more. Save an extra hundred and buy a 32 or 40" name brand HD tv. I bought mine from Walmart and saved about 150 dollars in black friday.

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.

Why would someone want to purchase an 3d led tv?

best led tv not 3d

Why would someone want to purchase an 3d led tv?


Answer
In a 3d movie you have to have two images of everything. One for the left eye and one for the right. Then they have to be to the right and left of each other at different distances so they look like they are in front of or behind the screen. Or over lap as one image too look like they are at screen level. Now anaglyph 3d that uses glasses in two colors like red and cyan ( a blue green), green and magenta, yellow and blue, must have the two images those same colors. So if your glasses are red and cyan then all images for the right eye must be say red and all the left images cyan. Then the lenses block the opposite color so each eye only gets one image. Since they use color for the 3d effect any color tv and dvd player can do this 3d format.

Most people don't like anaglyph 3d. To do the other two 3d formats 1. polarized like in theaters or 2. field sequential that uses the shutter glasses you have to have a tv that can do them because they don't use color for the 3d effect.

For polarized you have to have half the pixels give out one polarized light wave and the other half give out a second polarized light wave, or have the pixels switch between two light waves some how. Then each lens of the glasses only let one light wave through. That way you can get one image to each eye. A regular tv was never made to do such a thing.

For field sequential you have shutter glasses. One lens will open while the other one closes and they do this back and forth very fast . Then when one lens is open the image for that eye flashes on screen. Giving each eye one image. Again you have to have a tv that can handle switching between to images and you need hardware to tell when the lenses of the glasses need to open and close. Plus you need a dvd player that can read the extra information of the movie in field sequential 3d.

Both polarized and field sequential 3d look the same, they just work different. Almost all tv's are going to use field sequential. Very few will use polarized.

Is there a 2d to 3d generator available around?

Samsung has recently launched a 3d led tv in India. Two months back, i had bought a samsung led tv (not 3d). I wanted to know if there is a converter or generator kind of thing which i can use to convert 2d signals into 3d signals on my tv?


Answer
Not with the technology currently being deployed. It's called "active shutter." That's how the new 3D programs are originated and that's the circuitry that your TV must have to view them in 3D. You also need the matching active shutter glasses. There are no other options at present.

Q. I bought 55 inches LED TV recently. I would like to take it to India with me(planning to travel to india). Please suggest me the best way to carry it. Is it better to ship or will airlines allow me to carry this tv with me instead of one bag? How much does they charge in airlines and how much does they take if I ship? Answers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!


Answer
A bigger problem is the incompatibility of your set with the TV broadcast system in India. India uses the PAL system. North America uses the ATSC/NTSC system. Your TV won't receive local channels in India.

Also, the voltage mains there are 240v/50 hz. Your TV *might* be optionable for that voltage and line frequency--check your owner's guide. But as equipped for the U.S. market, it's set up for 110v/60 hz.

You might be better off returning your set for a refund if possible, and buying one locally in India. That also saves you the hassle and cost of transport, customs, etc.

Whatever looks good to you. We're not the ones that will be in your house looking at it. I personally have a 61" sitting on a stand and an lcd hanging about 8" down from an 8' ceiling. And I'm satisfied with both, and that's all that matters since it's my house.

Answer
This is why I believe that the Samsung Galaxy S4 is better than the iPhone 5
1. It is quicker (1.9 quad core processor/ 1.6ghz Octa core vs 1.3 dual core processor)

2. Microsd- you can expand the memory with a 64gb microsd. This a cheaper way to expand your memory and you can have a 16 gb S4 and still have more storage than iphone 5 if you get a 64gb microsd.

3. USB OTG- you can read usb keys no problem with an adapter so you can check out what's on them so you don't have to put your computer on.

4. Microusb charger- Better than the lighting connector as you can get them easily and cheaply but also you might have it from other devices as it is becoming standard for smartphones to use micro-usb chargers.

5. Removable battery- This means you can replace the battery if you run out of charge when you are around unlike the iphone 5 which you have to charge or bring an external charger and charge it from there, however this is an awkward way of charging your phone. Also the removable battery can help you prevent water damage as you can remove the battery if it falls in water, thus reducing the chances of water damage.

6. NFC- Want to transfer a music album quicker than bluetooth, well now you can with NFC. You can also use Tectiles 2 to make your life easier

7. Customizable- Change launcher(Are you bored, get a new launcher that suits you and your personality), custom ROM your phone and have access to apps specifically made for rooted devices directly on the play store. You control the device so that it suits you.

8. Dropbox- Love cloud storage well Samsung is offering 50gb free of charge to S4 owners for 2 years on Dropbox. Backup music, video, photos(this can be done automatically), documents etc. Who doesnât want this amount of free cloud storage?(You have to complete a certain amount of steps to get the free storage but none requires any credit card details or anything to complicated) (N.B Not everyone will be offered this bonus as carriers have been known to have stopped Samsung from offering this to customers)

9. Screen- Itâs bigger but not too big. It has 441ppi vs iPhone 5âs 326ppi plus the Amoled screen creates beautiful colors.
I also found no problems when using one hand, and I have medium hands if not small hands. Also I mostly use the Note 2 and it fits in all my pockets, suit trousers, jeans, tracksuits so the S4 will certainly fit in virtually all pockets

10. Android features-Widgets, live wallpapers, Google Now and all the beauty of android, widgets on the lockscreen etc

11. Samsung added features
a. Smartstay- won't turn the screen off if you are still looking at it.
b. Smartpause- pauses a video when you turn around and turns it back on when you turn back
c. Eye controlled webpage scrolling
d. Airview- check link to learn more http://www.phonearena.com/news/Samsung-Galaxy-S-4-display-Air-View-and-Air-Gesture-demoed-on-video_id40881
e. Infrared TV remote
f. External temperature and humidity sensors
g. Use the phone while using gloves
h. S Health- useful for health enthusiasts
i. S Translator- itâs all in the name a translator
j. Blocking Mode- activate it to block things like calls, notifications, messages, LED indicator etc
k. Power Saving Mode- Can be used to save power by limiting the processor speeds, turning of Haptic feedback, using less power for the screen and changing the color in the stock browser and email app
l. Home screen modes- for beginners it makes the home screen setup easier
m. Etc- I could go on but check the link to see even more features http://www.phonearena.com/news/Samsung-Galaxy-S4-10-exclusive-or-little-known-features-review_id41541

12. Camera- It has a 13mp camera vs iPhone 5âs 8mp. It has more features than than the iPhoneâs camera which makes it even better.( http://www.businessinsider.com/htc-one-galaxy-s4-iphone-5-camera-test-2013-4 this link shows how the S4 has the best smartphone camera)
a. Dual shot- take photos from both cameras so that you can include the photographer in a photo
b. Photo with audio message- record a message before or after a photo to add to a photo
c. Eraser shot- can remove unwanted moving content
d. Drama shot- takes pictures of a moving object and puts the moving object through the whole picture
e. More but those are the best

13. Multitasking- watch videos while online, write an email while watching a video, send a message while surfing the web, you can split the screen in two so you can multitask without a bother, this cannot be done on the iPhone 5.

14. Durability- The S4 does not suffer from scratches like the iphone 5 where the back of the phone is aluminium and scratches really easy, the S4 does not suffer this fate.

Sharp aquos led tv and pioneer dvd?! please help!?




miio


i have a sharp aquos 60 inch led tv and i have no idea how to connect my pioneer dvd player to it!!! both are working great, i just cant connect them! please please, any ideas?
model # LC60LE810UN



Answer
Without knowing exactly which model TV and DVD player you have, I am still 99% sure that both your TV and your DVD player have component video inputs and outputs (to know for sure, look at the back of your DVD player and your TV and see if both have round plugs colored red green and blue labeled "component" or something like "YrYbPb").

So if you buy a component video cable, and a stereo audio RCA cable, you can hook them up that way.

A component video cable has 3 plugs at each end, colored red, green, and blue, it looks like this: http://networkcable-tester.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/component-video-cable.jpg

You would plug the component cable into the red/green/blue component *output* plugs on the DVD player, and plug the other end into the red/green/blue component *input* plugs on the TV (sometimes these will be labeled "component" on the DVD/TV, sometimes something like "YrYpPb" but it's the same thing).

A stereo RCA audio cable has 2 plugs at each end, colored red and white. It looks like this: http://www.electronicsnmore.com/images/RCA2.gif

You would plug the audio cable into the red/white audio *output* plugs on the DVD player, and plug the other end into the red/white audio *input* plugs on the TV.

Your TV may have more than one set of component inputs - if so, make sure that you plug the video and the audio cables into the same input - for instance video 1 and audio 1 (instead of video 1 and audio 2 for example).

Once everything is hooked up, press the Source or Input or Video button on the TV's remote to switch to the DVD.

P.S. You can also buy a single "component AV cable" - which combines the two cables, so that means it has 5 plugs at each end: red/green/blue for video and red/white for audio.

One more P.S. You could also hook up with a "composite AV cable" which looks like this:

But the picture quality would not look as good.

Best 1080p TV Deal for under 800 dollars?

best led-lcd tv under $800
 on 60 0 display 1080p 3 hdmi ports led lcd 120hz
best led-lcd tv under $800 image



Jagamus Pr


So, I've been working on some spec to try to find a good deal on a TV. I have a few requirements, though...

- The TV must be 1080p (and actually display at 1920x1080 or 1920x1200)
- At least 42 inches, though bigger is better.
- As cheap as possible, but no sceptre brand unless they've gotten better since I bought my monitor.

Size, weight, type of TV, all not concerns. I have no preference on the technology. A 1080p projector, rear projection TV, LCD or Plasma TV would all work just as well for me.

My question is, where can I go to compare deals and browse TVs? I've tried best buy's website, walmart's website, newegg, circuit city, ABC Warehouse and others. Is there a de facto website to go to? Does anyone know of any phenomenally good deals? I'm not above used TVs (that work) from craigslist, etc or reliable refurbs/open box.



Answer
Phenomenally good deals = stolen goods. Don't go there.

Best Buy has good deals on their sale items. And they will price match major competitors. So they are a reasonable place to go. You could also check out J&R.

To meet your size, resolution, and price demands, you need to go Plasma. You're not going to find a decent LCD with those desired parameters. But you can find a really great Plasma 42" right at your budget limit.

The Panasonic VIERA S1 Series TC-P42S1 42-Inch 1080p Plasma is listed at $790 on Amazon right now. I think that's about as good a price as you'll get on that. And that is a top flight HDTV through and through. You get all the Plasma advantages (perfect fast motion playback, vivid colors, true blacks, and deep contrast), you get Panasonic reliability (the top dog in Plasma right now), and a good price (to get a comparable quality LCD, you'd need an LED LCD with 120Hz refresh rate at least, which would be well north of $800).

Honestly I think that's the single best TV you can get for your specs. Other sets would require a compromise in quality in some sense or the other, OR, would require you up your budget.

What's the best kind of Televisions for gaming?




John


Well I've been looking through Google reading all the opinions that are about the best TV's for gaming.
I have always believed that LCD/LEDs are the best televisions for gaming. Recently though I have been reading about something called "input lag". And I have been seeing that a lot of people say Plasma televisions are better for gaming as they have refresh rates of 600hz with this gaming mode or something. I heard the Plasma TV also have burn-in or something where an image can become burned into the television if left on too long (such as the HUD), but I have also read that new models aren't so bad.

What's your opinion for the best gaming TV? Panasonic or LED/LCD. And what size do you recommend? My TV at the moment is an Full HD LCD 42". But I'm getting a new TV for myself. Thanks.



Answer
Plasma TVs are MADE for gaming, sports, and action movies. They have true black colors, giving the overall picture a darker look than LCD and LEDs. They are not energy efficient, costing about $35 a year to run one. The have a glass screen, causing glare if there is a light source opposite of the TV. They are the least expensive TV to buy, and are great for many things. They have a 600hz refresh rate, giving smooth motion control in all programming (thus making it good for gaming and sports). The burn in issue is a problem of the past. They're equipped with an anti-image retention device, which will flush the gases to eliminate any still picture that would have been left in it.The weight of a 50" plasma is usually under 100 pounds. Plasma TVs start in 42" (price $400+) and go up from there. An average price of a good 50" 1080p plasma is $800.

LCD and LED TVs are identical in the way the colors are produced. The ONLY difference between the two is the light source. LCD uses fluorescent lighting, while LED uses LED lights on the edge or back of the screen. They will have brighter colors than a plasma, but they will not achieve true black colors. They have a matte (plastic) screen, eliminating some glare problems. They come in 60hz, 120hz, and 240hz. It's difficult to find TVs with 240hz, plus the naked eye typically cannot tell the difference. The lower refresh rate makes gaming and sports a little blurry at times. They are more energy efficient that plasma TVs. It will cost about $20 a year for an LCD and about $16 a year for an LED. The lifespan on LCD and LED TVs is about a year or two longer than a plasma. The weight of a 55" LED is around 70-80 pounds. The price for a 55" Samsung LED Smart TV typically runs about $1500. LEDs are the most expensive.

The programming you watch and the room you're putting it in are going to determine which type of TV that would suite your needs the best.
The energy consumption dollar amounts I gave are based on 50"-55" TVs, with smaller TVs being less expensive.

Only buy name brand TVs, or you'll suffer some serious quality issues. Only buy Samsung, Panasonic, Sony, or LG. The Sharp Quattron is also an excellent LED TV. For plasma, Panasonic is the top making, with Samsung following closely. Samsung and Sony make great LED and LCD TVs. LG makes pretty good TVs, but the other brands I named tend to have better pictures, in my opinion.

3D technology varies depending on brand. Most brands use an active 3D technology where the glasses lenses shutter back and forth. You can get a 3D Samsung 1080p plasma 51" for about $900. A 3D Samsung 55" LED is about $1600. LG uses a passive technology for 3D, allowing you to use the movie theatre glasses, unlike with the passive technology. Active 3D will allow for a full HD 1080p signal, while passive will not.

How to connect my laptop to my tv and home theater?

led tv cheap
 on 55
led tv cheap image



Perry


I want to connect my laptop to my LG LED TV and my LG Blueray Home Theater System, I can get the laptop hooked up to my TV but haven't been able to get the audio to got through the Home Theater System.
I have a HDMI cable from my laptop to my tv, and the audio/video works fine...I have yet been able to get sound to go from either into the home theater system.



Answer
The most effective way to do this is by having HDMI output on your graphics cards. If it has HDMI, it will export audio and video, and you can just plug it into your tv. Since your TV is plugged into your sound system, you'll get the picture on the tv and the audio from your sound system.

If, like me, you don't have HDMI ports, here's what I did:

My PC has two 'out' ports, one VGA, and one DVI - as both my monitor and tv have VGA connectors, I got a DVI>VGA adaptor, so that my tv and monitor are hooked up simultaneously. Your laptop probably just has a VGA (and is connected to its own screen entirely) so for that all you need is a VGA cable.

However that's only video, you still need the audio.

What I do for this, is essentially just have a cable going from the speaker (or headphone) port on my computer to the audio-in on my soundsystem. However, because I like to switch between PC, Cable and Xbox on my TV without swapping cables...

I bought an AV switcher. It has 3 AV inputs, and one output, with a little slider to select which one its using. I only use it for the audio, as everything is connected to the TV already anyway (HDMI for Cable, VGA for PC, Component for Xbox).

I have a 'audio jack to stereo' cable going from the TV to the switch. Another of the same cables going from my PC speaker socket to the switch. And just plugged the audio jacks of the Xbox component cable straight into the switch. The output for the switch goes into my soundsystem. And I can select either of the 3 channels for whichever audio I want.

Also, I have a simple jack splitter coming out my pc's sound card, as my pc is in another room, so I can get audio on both sets of speakers, or simply one at a time.

With this setup, I just need to change channel on the tv, and change the audio switch as desired, whereas with HDMI you'd be able to just change the channel and get audio AND video.

I think however I might keep my current setup though, as the benefit of keeping audio and video separate is that I can have say, music playing from the Xbox while I'm browsing the web on the PC. Or have music playing from the PC while I watch TV. If it were all HDMI you'd essentially be stuck with the audio of whatever is on your screen.

Hope this helped!

email me jpjosey@gmail.com if you need any help figuring out what leads to buy or setting up, for all the additional leads I bought, and the switch, it was still cheaper than buying a graphics hard with HDMI out, and although it uses more wires than HDMI, its a more customisable solution in my opinion.

How could I turn this monitor into a TV?

There are so many makes and models out that the TV manufacturers are laying people off. There are too many sets available so there is no point to waiting.

The "Black Friday" deals are usually on lower end models - not the ones you might want for your main TV.

Go online to Home Theater Magazine and read the reviews on tvs, along with the pro and con of each technology. You are not going to find any LG brand tv being recommended. The lack of software for the 3D technology is limited. At this time there are only around 180 titles available in 3D and they are mainly animated movies from disney. I would not recommend buying a used tv. Panasonic is the most reliable tv in the market today. If you read yahoo questions all the time you will notice that 95% of tv problems comes from LCD or LED tv and 95% of those are the bargain price tv. Forget 3D and get a smart tv, you can purchase a brand new one for the same price and with a factory warranty for a year. If you purchase one at Costco you will get one more year of warranty and have 90 days to return it. Hope this will help you out.
