Answer
I just got a new LED backlit LCD TV (LED) for my room, and we have a G10 42" panasonic plasma in the front room. To be very honest plasma TV's are still alot better in every way in terms of picture quality the only advantages of LED tvs in my own experience are lower power consumption, thickness, weight... a Plasma wins hands down when gaming, watching sd/hd content etc. I'm considering buying another panasonic plasma in 2012 they'll look stunning.

I want a full HD LED tv?

Answer
Ramy, Good answer (Except that sony is an LCD not LED )which the Op wants.The sony $ series is bottom of the sony line,not that thats bad but its LCD not a smart Tv which 99% of 2012 Tvs are all samsungs are Smart Tvs for 2012.Its ok to disagree Ramy but you have to know what your talking about before showing the guy a link for the cheapest Sony LCD made,with less features than other 2012 LEDs like movie support through USB,sony has only pics and songs no video.A big complaint on here when people try to hook up a hard drive to play movies and it doesn't recognize movie files.The future of tvs is connections like Cloud thats the big buzz word all pcs, Apples,& most new 2012 Tvs have some form of smart capabilities.And as usual Joe G is right again,yes there are TVs for 500 & under but youll have to sacrifice features or size to stay under 500 bucks.I paid 979.00 for a new 2012 Full 1080P 3D smart Tv Awesome features and picture quality its an amazing Tv a PN51E550 & a Panasonic 50 inch st50 both top rated tvs on top 10 tvs c-net reviews amazon.etc.The OP wants an LED and the only LEDs for under 500 are off brands Vizio,westinghouse, Emerson,etc or are samsung panasonic sony but the LEDs for those manufacturers are 32inch models.So one or the other.I would rather save a bit and get at least a mid range then get a bottom end set that will be lacking before you even turn it on.

Looking for 42 Inch LED 3D Smart TV To India, pl suggest model which works in india ?

Looking for 42 Inch LED 3D Smart TV To India

I want to buy 3D LED smart 42 inch TV with wireless internet connectivity and other advanced features. Pl suggest me model No. India uses a different TV signal encoding method (PAL), whereas US and Korea uses NTSC TV signal. Pl also tell me how to convert PAL to NTSC in India to get HD channels on an awesome TV

Answer
Hi Nice, LG WRman Sherlock here,

With all the features that you have in mind, my suggestion would be to have a look at LG 42" LM7600 Smart 3D TV. The TV has passive 3D technology which makes 3D viewing a pleasure with the lightweight glasses provided.

LG's Smart TV interface is simplistic and easily customizable and the ecosystem is ever growing. And you also get wireless connectivity with inbuilt Wi Fi and Wi Di along with Smartshare that allows DLNA setup between your different Smart devices.

If you do purchase your TV in USA or Korea, my suggestion would be to buy a PAL to NTSC converter along with it before relocating to India. Alternatively, you can also think about purchasing the TV from India itself to avoid the compatibility and support hassles.


Check this link for more details about this LG 3D Smart TV - http://www.lg.com/in/tvs/lg-42LM7600-3d-tv

LED TV Set: What is the difference between 120hz and 240 hz? Any significant picture quality?

Rip Ride

For example, I am looking at a Samsung 40" UN40B6000 and 46" UN46B6000 HDTV set. Both of them use 120hz frequency. But I noticed that there is another Samsung series that uses 240hz but the price is much greater than a 120hz set. What are the pluses and minus with using both? Should I wait until 240hz is standard with all LED tv sets?

Also can someone explain what does LED backlit LCD mean? Is this a true LED tv or just an LCD tv that has been modified or spruced up to act like an LED tv?

thanks.

Answer
The 240Hz simply means that the image on the screen is scanned (drawn) more often. In the 120Hz setup its drawn 120 times/sec, whereas the 240Hz setup its drawn 240 times/sec. In theory the 240Hz option should further eliminate any potential issues of motion blur associated with LCD technology (ghost trails).

But its not always super straight forward to say that 240Hz will be double in its ability to deal with those LCD issues. Because some 120Hz LCDs are a 4 ms response time and their 240Hz counterparts a 8 ms response time. Response time also impacts how the motion blur issue. So there is no straight mathematical figure to saying how much better a 240Hz set actually is.

At 40" or 46" though, 120Hz should likely serve you pretty well. The smaller the screen the less demanding it is to need the "cutting edge" features like 240Hz. But everyone's visual sensitivities are different. If you want to be sure whether or not it matters for you, go to a store, and look at both with your eyes, forget the spec sheet. Have them play something with fast motion (video games, action movie, sports, etc.). Then compare the two options visually for yourself.

Most LCDs are CCFL based. This can, sometimes, in larger sets lead to muted colors, grey blacks, and poor contrast. It also means a bigger TV and more power consumption. With an LED LCD you are able to produce more vivid colors, truer blacks, and deeper contrast. You are also able to create a thinner, lighter TV. And the TV will consume less power. An LED LCD is still an LCD in most regards, but those are the advantages the LED backlight brings to the table. There's no such thing as a "true LED" versus an "LED LCD." They are all "LED LCD" regardless of what the marketing wants to call it.

do they manufacture 1080 p led lcd tvs?

Jean C

i was interested in purchasing a 1080p led-lcd tv with a 32"screen.

Answer
LED tv are in the 40" and larger. If you want a 32" you are looking at an LED tv. There are plenty of manufacturers who produce 32" LCD tvs in the market today. The brand you should look at is Samsung and Panasonic they are the most reliable tv in the market. They also have the best viewing angle than the bargain price tvs. Also keep in mind that you can not see the difference between 720P and 1080P in screen smaller than a 46". The source for 1080P is the Blu Ray disc movies and some video games, tv program in HD are only in 720P (some disc network provider will up convert the signal to 1080P. You will also pay more for a 1080P than the 720P. Hope this will help you out.

LCD TV, LED TV, or PLASMA TV??

Captain Ob

Which is best in your opinion, i am doing a compare and contrast paper on the subject.

Answer
Well, technically speaking, an LED TV is ACTUALLY also an LCD TV. The difference is the backlight (LCD does not produce it's own light).

When people speak about an "LCD TV," they are actually talking about the traditional LCD TV (backlighting with fluorescent bulbs).

Now an "LED TV," is an LCD TV that uses LED backlighting technology.


In my opinion, LED TV's are the best by far. They are the newest technology (which is why they are so expensive). LED TV's allow for lower energy consumption, better black levels (the black can be darker than regular TV's), thinner TV's, more balanced color saturation, and they do not contain Mercury.

Plasma, LCD, LED HD TV?

ExtmePillo

Plasma, LCD, LED HD TV?
Ok so I'm planning on buying a HDTV but at a complete lost...
Usually we only watch like foodnetwork, news, discovery channel and occasion movies (action, sci fi etc) and occasional xbox 360 but rarely. The room is pretty bright during the day but at night its pretty dim lit.

I'm planning on a 40-46 inch screen but I don't know which one is right for me...Plasma, LCD or LED? Can you suggest one to me and explain why? thanks! I was thinking either samsung or sony or w/e brand you can suggest too

Answer
go for a plasma! when our family was looking for a tv I was set on getting a lcd but my dad wanted a plasma (of course we got one), it was amazing! the color was awesome, there was no motion blurr like you would find in lcd or led tvs! overall plasmas are better, they have an awesome picture quality! and since you want a bigger tv plasmas are better (lcds are better for small tvs). also it's true that lcds are brighter but plasmas are pretty bright too, sometimes I have to turn the brightness on my tv down because it hurts my eyes(this usually happens at night when its dark) besides you don't want a tv that's too bright! seriously go for a plasma, you wont regret it! the only reason led's are expensive is because they're the newest thing out, led's arent the best! here's some links to prove what i've said!
http://www.lcdtvbuyingguide.com/lcdtv-plasmavslcd.shtml

http://www.cnet.com.au/videos/ask-us/what-is-an-led-tv-and-how-does-it-compare-it-to-plasma-22479980.htm

if you get a plasma get a samsung one, that's what we have and it's amazing! we have the pn50b650 one! http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-PN50B650-50-Inch-1080p-Plasma/dp/B001W6NU9E

also plasmas don't burn in unless they're left on an image for like days, so you shouldn't have a problem with your plasma burining in (I've left mine on an image for a few hrs. before and there was NO burn in at all)

are lcd or led tvs better?

iPwn

i like the led, my boyfriend likes the lcd. which is ultimately better? and if you can, please list pros and cons for both. thanks in advance.

Answer
first, led tv's are lcd panels with led lights.
lcd tv's are lcd panels with ccfl lighting.

led tv's use less energy because of the lighting system and give superior contrast ratio, pushing 3 million to 1 as opposed to an avg. 40k to 70k on a standard lcd, even the sony xbr9 lcd is only 100k to 1. that means darker darks and brighter brights on an led tv.

two types of led. edge lighting and full array. the samsung 6000 series is an edge lit tv. that makes it super slim, less than 2 inches almost. with this all your lights are pointing inwards. with that said to adjust the darkness, lets say middle of the tv, all the lights need to be dimmed.

second type is full array, size wise they are about as thick as a regular lcd because they have led lights across the entire back of the tv. is this better? i think so. you have better light control. the tv will only adjust a specific set of lights that need to be adjusted to control the darkness of a specific spot. not any extra ones. power wise, i'd say the same.

sure, edge lighting may have less lights, but they have to output more light to reach the center, whereas full array or full matrix lighting only has to travel a short distance from the back of the tv. both are amazing pictures regardless. dont be sold on the thickness of the tv, you will not know the difference when you're sitting infont of the thing 6 feet away. brand wise, most major ones make it. sharp, sony, lg, samsung are the big ones i know of off hand.

now your standard lcd tv's aren't bad, but not the latest and greatest. inferior lighting resulting in lower contrast ratio (that's big in my book since any big tv you buy will be full 1080p hd, and almost always 120hz nowadays). hooked up to a blu-ray, it'll be stunning. led's will look better. and everybody going green these days led's are picking up steam.

if you don't have a hd service from a company, or don't wach blu-rays wth an hdmi cable., and intend to hook up basic cable, get a standard lcd, as you will not be using the full potential of the led tv by any means. email me if you have any other questions or wanna know about cabling or the 120hz/240hz etc etc. =)

bottom line, led's are a better, newer technology, but do you want to spend the money on it.

ps. don't do a dlp like that guy says, yes, they can produce 1080p signals BUT! horrible viewing angle, have to be right infront of the tv,dead center to see the best picture, move to the side and it darkens out because of the screen. PLUS YOU HAVE TO CHANGE A BULB! every few years (2-4 with regular use), and those aren't cheap, averaging 200 bucks. yes you get a new tv when you change it, but it's an additional costs, lcd's last about 60k hours, led's are being said to last 100k to 120k hours, twice as long. dlps are a old technology. most stores don't even carry them anymore.

to the guy below.
not all led's are slim, just edge lighting ones. full array are still thick, about 4 inches, check the lg and sharp ones.

Which is better plasma or led tv?

Sam

im thinking of buying a new tv and im going to play alot on my xbox 360. So which is better for it?

Answer
LED is just a form of LCD. While the LED backlight improves the color, contrast, and blacks of a LCD set, it does not fix the inherent refresh flaws of the technology. So you can still suffer from motion blur (ghost trails). However, I think all LED sets are at least 120Hz refresh if not 240Hz. It is as good as LCD can offer you to cope with the issue.


LCD is a matte finish, so can be better for rooms with too much ambient light. LCDs on the whole tend to use less power than Plasma (and CRT). However, not all models are made equal. Also there are now Plasmas that can compete on that front as well.

LCDs are the better choice however in smaller sets. That's why you'll not see the major plasma manufacturers making sets in under 40". You just don't get the advantages of Plasma in smaller sets as much (and definitely not in a bang-for-buck scenario). So size does matter in your decision making process.

Plasma's suffer from a number of myths. Modern plasmas do not suffer burn-in, not half decent brands at least. They have come a long way since their early days. To play it safe you can condition the TV. For the first 100-200 hours, keep the contrast and brightness cranked down. Then optimize and enjoy.

Plasmas do not have shorter life spans. There are Plasmas rated to 100,000 hours that cost way less than LCDs. At 8 hours a day, 365 days a year, that's 30+ years of life. Every model, LCD or Plasma is different. Neither technology is inferior on this front.

Plasmas do not have problems with high altitudes anymore. Again, early models had this flaw, but modern ones do not. You can own a plasma safely in mile high Denver, so unless you're in the Himalayas, you should be fine.

For plasma, go with Panasonic. They are the best, affordable, option out there for you. Pioneer Kuro Elite is technically better, but the price tag is steep. Samsung and LG make reasonably well reviewed sets as well if you just don't dig Panasonic.

If you need an LCD, because of size or preference, Samsung is the world leader. Sony and Sharp also make really strong sets too. In the 26" - 37" range, Panasonic is actually a top tier choice as well. While known for their plasmas, they actually make extremely top notch LCDs in that size. LG does make some good LCDs as well, but do your homework on the models.

Plasma has a near instantaneous refresh rate (like CRT) and suffers no motion blur problems. Plasma has superior colors, blacks, and contrast, even to LED LCDs.

best 32 inches led tv in india?

avi

I got confused after checking many TV Review Websites and finally want an expert advice regarding this. I want value for money product. My budget is 45,000 -/

Answer
Hi, I just bought a 32 inch LCD TV of Videocon two days ago just for Rs.24000. Let me give you some advice regarding LED and LCD TV's.

I saw LCD and LED TV's of all brands with all technical details.
My advice to you that don't buy LED TV. There is nothing available like original LED TV's in India. They are almost fake. Buying LED TV would be a total waste of money. You won't get the natural color appearance in LED TV and they usually are in the range of Rs.50000.

You should only go with the FULL HD 1080 LCD TV.

In LCD's also, let me tell you that you should go only with the LCD's of Videocon. No doubt, the LCD TV's of Samsung, Sansui and Sony are also very good, but they will charge you 10-20 thousand more for the same TV. Why give more money only for brand name when you are getting the same TV at a much lower cost.

So I would advice you to buy Videocon LCD TV if you want it low cost and best. Buy LCD of VRL series and not VLL series. I guarantee you 100% satisfaction, as I myself have bought it.

LED is a complete waste of money. Sony has taken back 1000 LED TV's back due to defects. Buying LED would be advisable only after 1-2 years.

Though if you want to buy LED anyway, you must only buy of Sony and no other company like Videocon. But I don't think LED's come in the range of 45000 Rs.

The best one in LCD would be Videocon VRL 32EBN or VRL32 FBM or VRL32GBM. I have bought EBN series.

Thanks, hope it helps you in buying.

which one do you recommend? an LCD tv vs. a LED tv ?

Mostafa

initially i wanted to buy a lcd tv, but i have heard that led tvs are better, is it right ? which one is better? what are their cons and pros?

Answer
LED is a type of LCD. They are the exact same type of TV. The only difference is that "most" LCDs use CCFL backlights as their light source (florescent lights). LED LCDs use LED backlights as their light source. That is the only difference between the two options.

LED backlights provide LCD televisions with more vivid colors, truer blacks, and deeper contrast. But it is considered a premium feature, and therefore you are expected to pay extra for it (quite a bit extra). In the 40" - 46" range, I think there are going to be visible advantages to it, but not necessarily a return on the dollar. If you break 50", then okay, you are likely more warranted to consider the LED option.

Most, if not all, LED sets also automatically come with 120Hz or 240Hz refresh rates. This helps with LCD's inherent flaws in motion playback (all LCDs, any light source type, suffer from motion blur or ghost trails). But again this is considered a premium feature that you are expected to pay extra for. So this further drives up the price of an LCD set. And again, depending on what size of TV you're getting into, this may or may not provide a reasonable return on the dollar.

Just so you know, Plasma has superior colors, truer blacks, and deeper contrast than LED LCD. And it does so right out of the box. There is no special feature to pay for. Plasma is also near instantaneous in response time so flawless in motion playback (like a CRT/tube). Again, that is inherent to the technology, you're not paying extra for it. So you actually get a superior image for less money by going Plasma. Something worth considering.

And don't fall prey to all the myths and lies about modern Plamsas. They no longer suffer burn-in. The good brands do not have shorter life spans (their sets are rated to like 100,000 hours which is equal to if not far beyond LCD sets). They are not power hogs, you can buy energy star certified Plasma sets now.

What's the best flat panel tv today LCD, LED, plasma?

Youk

I want a 50". Also to get cable service into another room without running cable I need the wireless, does it work with current cable box? Is the picture good?

Answer
LED is just a form of LCD.

In 40" and above Plasma wins out in image quality (motion playback, color, blacks, and contrast). LCDs can provide a bit greater brightness, but optimized TVs don't run super bright (it washes things out).

Not sure what you mean by wireless cable service. Are you talking Slingbox? Are you talking a wireless HDMI box? Wireless anything is what it is. It can be good, but its likely not going to be quite as strong as a wired solution.

LCD
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_crystal_display_television )

LCDs inherently suffer problems with motion playback. They suffer from motion blur (ghost trails). This is compensated for with the 120Hz/240Hz refresh rates. This feature helps out a lot, but is not 100%. And you are expected to pay a price premium for this add-on.

CCFL LCDs have muted colors, grey blacks, and so-so contrast. This is compensated for with the modern LED LCD. The LED backlight provides a massive jump in quality in regard to those 3 things. It brings it to a near Plasma/CRT/DLP level.

But in smaller sets, LCDs are the go to choice. So for the time being they will certainly still fill an important need there. And there also offer a certain sense of familiarity for many, as LCD computer monitors have been the norm for so long now.

Plasma
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_display )

Plasmas are inherently near instantaneous in their refresh rate. They are flawless in motion playback. While you might see some tagged with 480Hz or 600Hz sub-field motion drives, this is not a refresh rate. Its more so marketing to trick consumers (because of LCD's refresh rates). But in reality the technology just works quite differently (its more like your old CRT/tube set).

Plasmas inherently deliver vivid color, true blacks, and deep contrast. They do this right out of the box. They are a better overall image. And so you get a better image and perfect motion playback without having to pay anything extra.

Plasmas were not always this good a choice though, they have improved greatly over the years. But because of those past problems they do currently suffer from many myths and misconceptions. The main ones being that they suffer from burn-in, they are more expensive, they have shorter life spans, and they are energy hogs.

Modern Plasmas do not suffer from burn-in. After they are conditioned, you would have to actually work hard to accomplish a burn-in. To condition a new set all you need to do is keep the brightness and contrast turned way down for the first 100-200 hours of use. After that optimize and enjoy.

Plasmas are not more expensive than LCD rivals anymore. Any especially with LCDs needing high end features like 120Hz and LED backlights to compete. Those features often make LCD far more expensive to buy.

Plasmas do not have shorter life spans. The reputable brands will deliver models that are rated to 60,000 - 100,000 hours. That basically means that in 10 years time, at 8 hours a day, 365 days a year, you would only really see at most about a 10% loss in brightness. So the set is likely well useable for beyond 10 years.

Current Plasma models are now energy star certified. This means no more being power hogs against LCDs. They can match LCDs in this regard. But every model is different. There are some LCDs that still perform better, and there are some LCDs that perform much worse. It changes ever year as new models come out.

what is the best gameing TV thats 42 inches and at most $500?

ben

and if possible has decent sound quality but not necessarily.

Answer
Plasma all the way-Only thing Plasma Starts at 42" and goes up
better and deeper blacks
wider off angle viewing
awesome for fast motion-600Hz refresh rate while the top LCDs/LEDs are only 240Hz-Best for gaming and sports watching
with a LCD you will have to drop it to 60Hz for gaming to help eliminate the lag
No burn in-on new plasmas-was a problem 5 years ago
they do use more power than the LCDs-But really if you cant afford the possible 3-5 bucks a month in and increase in your power bill-You do not need to be buying a big tv to begin with.
The short life people are talking about equals about 10-15 years of watching. really who wont buy a new tv in 10 freaking years???

Right now the top Plasmas are made by Panasonic(according to Cnet, consumer reports and a few home video mags). Right now 50" 1080p ( i own this one and the 65" version) at best buy USA around 899 for the 50" 720p is 599

LED tvs are just a LCD with a LED back light instead of Florissant tubes!!!!!!!!!!
LED tvs ARE JUST LCD with different backlighting they still suffer all the drawbacks of LCD but are just brighter

Which TV should I buy LCD/LED or PLASMA?

Sachin.Men

Recently I went to buy 42 inch TV, but didn't bought as I am confused which one to buy, though the clarity and sharpness of the picture was more in LED TV, but the salesperson told me that if you look at it for more than 2-3 hours your eyes will be exhausted and they feel tired, where as in plasma screen it uses gas and it won't feel tired to your eyes if you watch for many hours but the picture quality was not as good as LED, and the LCD was somewhere in between in picture quality,
So which tv you suggest me to buy, I want to buy it for my parents who are aged and mostly stay at home and for them tv is only time pass, so I don't want there eyes feel tired even if they watch tv for whole day and the picture quality has to be the best and the tv set has to be equipped with the latest technology. and please suggest me company or model if you can? [the one I saw was from Panasonic]
Thanks for your Help.

-The short life people are talking about equals about 10-15 years of watching. really who wont buy a new tv in 10 freaking years???
-I have my 65" Hung about 4' from a 72" window and even with the blinds open i have no trouble seeing it or get any annoying reflections. But The ceiling light that is behind the couch will reflect off it at night.

Right now the top Plasmas are made by Panasonic(according to Cnet, consumer reports and a few home video mags). Right now 50" 1080p ( i own this one and the 65" version) at best buy USA around 899 for the 50" 720p is 599

LED tvs are just a LCD with a LED back light instead of Florissant tubes!!!!!!!!!!
LED tvs ARE JUST LCD with different backlighting they still suffer all the drawbacks of LCD but are just brighter

best under $ 1000 tv over 55 inch?

askari

need new good big screen tv for under 1000 has to be 55 inch or bigger

Answer
This one is a must have, it is ranked as the best HDTV (that's not 3d) of 2010 and
blows away any LED. It is a 100 dollars more and 50 inch, but it's a must have model.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Panasonic+-+VIERA+/+50%22+Class+/+1080p+/+600Hz+/+Plasma+HDTV/9788953.p?id=1218175321979&skuId=9788953

There is a 58 inch panasonic plasma S2 but it's 1400 bucks and the picture
is nothing compared to the 50 inch model I posted on top. Even though it's
smaller by 5 inches, 50 inch is huge and you have the best HD set of 2010 for
1100.

Looking for a 60-Inch LED TV?

dy_himself

My family and I are looking into buying a 60" LED TV, however we are having trouble finding one with all of the specs that we want. We found one, but it was discontinued.

We are looking for the following:

- 60 to 65-Inch LED TV
- 3 or more HDMI Inputs
- Smart TV (ie..has youtube etc...)
- Back-Lit (as opposed to the new slimmer "Edge-Lit" TVs, that I've heard don't have the same picture quality/sharpness as back-lit TVs do.)

If anyone has any ideas or knows any TVs that meet those specifications, I would greatly appreciate a reply or any input you have.

Answer
You're going to have a hard time finding a 60" LED TV. That particular size is reserved for plasma TVs.
If you don't want an edge-lit LED TV. I recommend the 55" LG LM9600. It is a full nano LED (non edge-lit) TV with all the features you listed. It has smart tv with youtube, hulu, (only ones i use) and 4 hdmi inputs. If you do opt for this one, I suggest you get the tv calibrated ( you should anyways for a tv of this caliber).

If it must be in your size specifications, I recommend either the 65" Sony HX929 (2011 model) or the 65" LG LM6200. Both are 65" and have 4hdmi inputs. The Sony one is a bit expensive however.

Suggest some best LCD/LED TV to buy which are best to play games with PS3?

Jake

I have been thinking to get a new LED or LCD TV(depending on my budget) which is great for playing games with PS3. I cannot actually decide which one should I go for. I need a 32inch LED or LCD TV which is not much pricey or expensive. Brands that I would like are Sony,Samsung and LG. Please suggest me some of the best.
Thanks.

Answer
Sony, Samsung and LG all make good TVs. If you are looking for a more affordable 32" I would go with the I would recommend the Samsung UN32EH4003. It has a 4.5 out of 5 star rating on Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0078LSTWU/ref=as_li_ss_til?tag=marartpla-20&camp=0&creative=0&linkCode=as4&creativeASIN=B0078LSTWU&adid=0ZFCRMYXC6A38PF81ZPR

For another $80 you can get a Samsung UN32EH5300 which is a smart tv so you can get on the internet stream videos and stuff. However a PS3 can do all of that stuff too so you might as well save your $80 and get a couple of games.

The economy?

Other than printing money and borrowing from China to prop the stock market?

According to OBAMA- on TV - the Obama economy began June 2009 and ended January 2011; because
According to OBAMA, REPUBLICANS have BLOCKED his every wish since then; so
According to OBAMA, the Obama economy delivered an average net LOSS of 38,000 jobs per month; and
According to OBAMA, BLOCKING the Obama agenda has delivered an average net gain of 151,400 jobs per month; meaning
According to OBAMA, preventing the Obama agenda is 189,400 jobs per month better than letting the Obama agenda go forward.

Television signal problems?

Swamp Gato

When we first moved here we got really good TV reception. We used to get some channels from as far away as about 300 - 400 miles. Than people started getting satellite TV and when the satellite dishes went up in our area our signal went down, the more dishes, the more our reception went down. Now we get just 2 channels, sometimes 4. Who wants to watch nothing but PBS and Create???

We dumped the converter box when we needed to replace it for the 4th time, the cost was killing us and the boxes wouldn't last 6 months even.

We bought a new TV (Digital) and the best antenna that Radio Shack sold (Our old antenna was over 30 years old and broken). We had been getting 8 channels until we went digital, than we went down to 4 and often just 2. We bought a signal booster, the one recommended by Radio Shack. It didn't help, so we returned it.

We live in a very rural area and have to pull a signal from about 100 miles away. We have been told the new set-up for TV has a range of 50 miles. We are on a very tight budget and can't afford satellite. I am disabled and dying, some days I need to spend all day in bed and without good TV it gets pretty boring.

Before we waste any more money, we would like to find a workable solution to our problem. Can anyone help us find something that will bring in a signal from far away? All we have locally is Radio Shack, so if it is something we would have to buy, it would have to be bought on the Internet.

All help would be greatly appreciated.
We live in the country, near Elmira, Michigan (49730). It is about 60 miles south of the bridge that connects the lower and upper peninsula. We used to get 3 canadian stations but not after the satellite dishes went up in our area.

We thought about going higher with the antenna and try to get above the satellite signals, but that would require about 20 feet higher, we are up 13 foot already. That would require tie downs and the area around our home is not big enough for them.

Answer
I agree with the other answer almost 100%, except that you cannot count on all of your available channels being UHF. The majority are, but in almost every market, there are some important VHF channels. In my area, that includes ABC and PBS. The antenna array suggested in the other answer won't work so hot on VHF.

Rather than do any more guessing, edit your question with your Zip code. From that, either of us can give you a better answer on what channels you should be able to receive and with what type of antenna installation.
----------------
Per your Additional Details:

Okay, first, forget the satellite dishes. They have absolutely nothing to do with the quality of your reception.

The reason it seems more difficult to pull in distant stations is because of the digital transition that occurred with U.S. stations in June 2009 and with Canadian stations in August 2011. The nature of digital modulation is such that you need a stronger signal to lock in a station. With analog, a weak signal is still watchable; just a little snowy. With digital, a weak signal doesn't show up at all.

Now, you are within easy range of a good variety of stations. There are some 23 miles to the southwest near Kalkaska, and others about 12 miles away near Vanderbilt/Gaylord. You can see how I found that by putting your Zip code in the first link below.

The 2nd link is an antenna you might want to consider. It should be more than adequate for the stations in your area. You will need a rotor, since the two locations are about 180 degrees apart.

The stations are:

Kalkaska:

WCMV ch. 27.1 (RF 17) PBS
WPBN ch. 7.1 (RF 47) NBC
WGTU ch. 29.1 (RF 29) ABC

Gaylord/Vanderbult:

WFUP1 ch. 45.1 (RF 45) FOX
WFUP2 ch. 45.2 (RF 45) CBS

The channel numbers with the suffix, like 27.1 are what you see on your tuner. The channel numbers in parentheses are the actual over-the-air channels, and it's normal for them to be different on some channels. Note that the signals are indeed all UHF.

I presume you understand the techniques necessary for finding and storing digital channels with a modern TV or converter--mainly, the autoscan and double-scan procedures. That's an important part of finding and receiving channels.

In your case, since you have channels 180 degrees opposite, you may need to rescan each time your reorient your antenna from the south to the north or vice-versa.

As for Radio Shack--they serve a useful purpose and some of their products are fine, but it's ordinarily difficult to get expert technical advice there--and quite easy to be led astray.

Good luck.

Help choosing an LED tv?

Robbie

Can somebody tell me which tv would be the better choice for me between these two? There is about an $800 dollar difference between them, which seems like alot. That seems like a lot for 5 more inches of screen or is the one a much better tv picture wise. I don't need smart tv so that doesn't matter to me at all. Is the picture quality going to be the same basically between them? I am just a casual viewer and movie fan. One is 60 inches and the other is 65 inches. Any recommendations?

Sony LCD TV or LED TV?

I do know the difference between the two (backlighting)

Sony kdl-46w5810 vs sony kdl-46ex703

The LCD is £800 and the (edge lit) LED is £1300

They are the exact same in every way except from the backlighting (im not bothered about thickness)

is it worth paying £500 for LED backlighting ??? (ps it will save about £100 in electricity bills over 10 years)?

Thanks

Sony use to be a good brand on tvs. In the last several years they have fallen in the quality and reliability. There customer service support center are not very helpful when you do need assistance. Panasonic is the top brand in quality and reliability along with the best customer service support center. Panasonic is also producing LCD tvs now. Go online to Home Theater Magazine and read the reviews on tvs. You will notice that they have a tv recommended in each price category of entry level to the high end. While no other manufacturer can claim. If you read yahoo questions, you will also notice that 95% of tv problems come from LCD/LED tvs and 95% of those are from off brands.

LED TV ( LCD-LED back-light ) is refine of LCD TV. it much better pictures quality / smooth pictures than LCD TV.
However , too many " off brand " LED TV on the market , is low quality LED TV. use 5ms Response time LED display panel.. really not worth that prices.
LED TV . go for Samsung / LG / Sony / Sharp , there use quality LED display panel . 2 ms Response time for Mose of the models. with 120 HZ refresh rate really smooth pictures .
Prices for any electronics items always " drop " every six months.
LED TV prices , of course will become much cheapest , but don't forget, new technology keeps coming. soon .. may be other TV maker use Sharp " quattron " RGB+Y technology ( as this moment , only Sharp use that , is great in colour display )
if you paid less for LED TV in next six months, that time you may think about new technology.LED TV ? and wait for another six months again .....no end !
Regular LCD TV prices also " drop " after another six months. TV maker swift to LED TV .

My New HDTV is not working well with my Xbox, someone please help?!?

Gthdude600

I bought a new Insignia 46" LED HDTV (1080p) (120hz) from Best Buy last night. I tried hooking up my xbox and everything went great until i got into the game. The game I was playing was Call of Duty: Black Ops. Everytime I hit the controller to move my person there was about a 1 or 2 second delay before i actually moved.(this never happened on my old analog tv, or on my 33" Sharp LCD HDTV). The movement also seemed like it lagged a lot and made me have motion sickness and I almost threw up. I invited a couple friends over and they said they felt sick after moving around in the game for a while. I tried changing all the settings so that my Xbox was set up for 1080p HDTV, widescreen, then i tried 720p, 420p, even standard definition and it still did not work. I switched the flip on the xbox cord from HDTV to TV and back again but that did not do anything either. Please tell me if there is anything I can do! Thanks so much!

thats most likely not not ur tv it is probably your connection try moving your router closer to your xbox or reseting the router. make sure your tv is on hdmi and unplug everything on xbox and plug back in. hope this helps.

What kind of HDTV is better: Plasma, LCD , LED, etc.?

FSPT_Tech

I want to buy an 40" - 46" HDTV (1080p) for my home to replace my 10 year old 40 " CRT TV. I've seen different types out there: Plasma, LED. LCD. What's the difference and which is considered best (quality-wise). Any references to links that explain the different types of TVs on the market now. I'm just now able to afford getting into 21st century technology and would like some help.

Answer
Confused about what type of TV to buy? LED LCD Plasma.. How to choose?

After all, there are so many acronyms and buzzwords to wrap your head around, such as 1080p, 120/240Hz, 24p, HDMI and LED backlighting. Huh?

Along with deciding how big a screen you want (which is usually tied to the size of your budget and the dimensions of your room), the next choice should be between LCD.LCD (LED Backlit) or Plasma â and all have their merits. Here, we'll describe each of these formats, and also point out their shortcomings.

LCD

What is it?
lcd tv 120mhzSimilar to your laptop computer's monitor, flat-panel LCD televisions use a liquid crystal display to produce a sharp and bright picture; these crystals are sandwiched between two panes of polarized glass, which are stimulated by an electric current and illuminated by fluorescent tubes housed behind the glass. Some newer LCD TVs, however, use LED-backlighting instead. LEDs, or light-emitting diodes, translate to a better-looking picture (see photo).

Pros
There are a number of advantages to buying a LCD televisions. For one, with more than three-quarters of all televisions embracing this technology, there is a lot of choice when it comes to manufacturers, models and sizes (13- to 103-inches, in fact). Competition, of course, breeds more aggressive pricing, too, which is good news for the consumer.

Flat-panel LCD televisions are also very thin, light and energy efficient, and are ideal for rooms with plenty of ambient light, which, for example, comes through large windows as they tend to absorb rather than reflect light (reflected light can obscure your view of the screen).

Cons
Until recently, LCD TVs didn't handle fast motion images as well as plasma TVs, resulting in a somewhat blurred image. Newer LCD TVs, though, have added technologies such as 120Hz frame doubling (or 240Hz frame quadrupling) to smooth out motion. It's still not as good as plasma, but much better than before. Also, LCD TVs used to have problems showing dark blacks (because a light was still on behind the pixel showing black, resulting in a more greyish hue). Many LCD televisions today use local-dimming with LED-backlighting (see next section) for improved contrast ratios (whiter whites and blacker blacks) - but, keep in mind, this is not an issue associated with plasma TVs.

LCD (LED Backlit)

What is it? Not a Different Type of TV

led lcd tv backlighting backlitItâs tempting to think LEDs belong in a completely separate category beside LCD and plasma TVs, but in reality, an LED television is just a type of LCD TV. The proper term would really be "LED-backlit LCD TV," but that always seems to get truncated to "LED TV" in everyday conversation, perpetuating the confusion.

To understand how LEDs function in an LCD TV, think of an actual liquid-crystal panel as the plastic pegs in a Lite Brite. They hold a translucent image, but without a powerful backlight to punch through and light it up like a signboard, youâre not going to see much. On your old Lite Bright, an inefficient incandescent light did the job, but pretty unevenly. On a typical LCD TV, fluorescent lights provide the backlighting through a special plastic sheet called a light guide that distributes light from a fluorescent tube evenly over the surface of the TV. On an LED-backlit TV, fluorescent tubes are replaced with light-emitting diodes â LEDs â the same technology that probably lights up your digital watch, the buttons on your monitor, and the indicators on your stereo. They can be either situated along the edges of the TV like a fluorescent tube, or arranged directly behind the screen in a grid. But what difference does it make, and why would anyone spend so much money on it?

The Benefit of LEDs

The most obvious reason LEDs have fallen into favor in LCD TVs: theyâre simply more efficient. Although fluorescent lights do a decent job converting electricity to light in the big scale of things, LEDs perform even better. Typically, manufacturers claim an efficiency improvement of up to 30 percent over fluorescent-based sets, which can add up significantly over the lifetime of a TV, especially on larger screens that use more juice to begin with.

LEDs are also much smaller than tubes, even after accounting for the number of them needed to light an entire TV. That means LED-backlit televisions can be manufactured significantly thinner than their tube cousins. For instance, most of the ultra-thin televisions that measured under an inch thick at CES used LED backlights, because they add very little depth to the profile. Though commercial variants arenât quite as dramatically thin as these prototypes, theyâre significantly skinnier than their fluorescent-backlit counterparts, making them some of the most chic and living-room-friendly HDTVs out there.

For home theater enthusiasts, LEDs only matter for one reason: image quality. Because fluorescent tubes mu

Emma Kosti

Answer
The pricey SONY BRAVIA® XBR-HX929 Series Internet TVs are currently one of the very best full-array, local dimming, 3D capable, LED backlit LCD TVs available when it comes to picture quality. Also worth considerationâand in a slightly higher price rangeâis the Elite by Sharp PRO-X5FD Series LED Backlit LCD TVs. (Please keep in mind that if you expect more than a couple of people will be viewing your TV at a time, these LCD TVs, like many [LED backlit] LCD TVs, have a limited viewing angle.)

I would not invest nor do I recommend investing is such pricey LCD TVs at this time when CNT-FED (Carbon Nanotube Field Emission Display) TVs and monitors are reportedly close to being released; itâs claimed that they will be released some time next year. However if you must purchase a new TV now and youâre willing to wait for the new display technology to mature (which is never a bad idea,) then it may be worth spending a little extra for maximum picture quality.

Can a 32 in LED TV have 1080p resolution?(120hz)?

Mike

I keep hearing that 32 in led TVs can't have a resolution of 1080p and can only have 720p. I am trying to buy a high resolution 32 in tv but I want a higher resolution than just 720p, and it has to be LED 1080p. What do you suggest? Does 1080p really make a difference? I am mostly using the TV for gaming so i want the best resolution possible. Also what is a good TV brand? I was thinking of going for vizio, Samsung, or LG.

Answer
Yes but you really need to pay attention to the details when you 'hear' things. Details matter.

It's not that they do not make televisions that size in native 1080 - it is that you cannot tell the difference between two televisions if one is 720 and the other is 1080 at that size.

If you want a TV for gaming - look into a small plasma.

Your "LED" television is really a "LCD" television that uses thousands of LED lights behind things and does 'regional dimming' to improve black levels.

A Plasma from Samsung or Pioneer does not have the problem with black levels that LCD's have and does not have problems with motion-blur. While 120 hz refresh reduces the problem - it is still present. And video games are full of fast moving objects.

Stick with Panasonic or Samsung for plasma.

For LCD stick with Sony, Samsung, Sharp.

Intelsat admits U.S. behind ban on Iranian channels. Why U.S. do that?

M.H.GH

The European communications satellite service provider Intelsat has decided to remove Iranian channels, including Press TV, as of July 1 as part of an unprecedented wave of US-led attacks against Iranian media.


Intelsat has admitted it is pulling the plug on Iranian channels under pressure from the United States.

The satellite provider said it sought a waiver from Washington to extend the term of its agreement with Iranian channels, but the US government is determined to prevent Intelsat from doing so.

Press TV has learned that the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) - an agency of the US Treasury Department headed by an Ashkenazi Jew called Adam Szubin - is behind the pressure on Intelsat.

Press TV contacted the OFAC office earlier for comment, but received no response.

European governments and satellite companies have been taking Iranian channels off the air since January 2012, citing the West's anti-Iran sanctions as pretext.

However, the spokesman for the EU foreign policy chief, Michael Mann, says that the sanctions do not apply to Iranian media.

Meanwhile, the French-Israeli CEO of Europe's satellite giant, Eutelsat, has written letters to several satellite companies, asking them to stop cooperating with Iranian channels, and the Israeli lobby in the United States has openly supported European attempts to ban Iranian channels.

Press TV says the campaign against Iranian media violates Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that promotes media freedoms.

Do you consider the ban on Iranian media as a violation of free speech?

@Cy: What about BBC?!! Most of Westerns media is in the control of Zionists, and that media say everything Zionists want them to say.
What U.S. agency is NOT headed by a Jew?!

Answer
what is relevance between media and nuclear? media do not related with sanction.
how could some stupid NSa agents be so stupid.
when they are removing channels, their means is they want to close you mouth, because they have no answer, because they prefer stupid mindless people who are agree with their crimes and wars, because they are bunch of Anti-religion and anti-truth and Anti-FACT regimes.

Intelsat admits U.S. behind ban on Iranian channels. Why U.S. did that?

M.H.GH

The European communications satellite service provider Intelsat has decided to remove Iranian channels, including Press TV, as of July 1 as part of an unprecedented wave of US-led attacks against Iranian media.


Intelsat has admitted it is pulling the plug on Iranian channels under pressure from the United States.

The satellite provider said it sought a waiver from Washington to extend the term of its agreement with Iranian channels, but the US government is determined to prevent Intelsat from doing so.

Press TV has learned that the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) - an agency of the US Treasury Department headed by an Ashkenazi Jew called Adam Szubin - is behind the pressure on Intelsat.

Press TV contacted the OFAC office earlier for comment, but received no response.

Kind of because now they have a less of a voice in other countries and now people have one less point of view when watching the news.

What is the best TV I can buy for under $1500?

strangefro

I'm looking for opinions and links:

What is, in your opinion, the best TV I can buy for under $1500? I'm looking for 40-46", and would prefer (but do not require) a fully back-lit, as opposed to edge-lit, LED model.

Suggestions?

Answer
LED TVs have great picture qualities and are energy efficient...but you can get better pic qualities out of a Panasonic Plasma TV for significantly less money!

I mean...what's the point of saving money on energy consumption of the TV when you have to pay so much more for the TV?!!! You're offsetting the energy consumption savings with a higher price premium!

Plasma TV's may use more electricity, but they are cheaper and have better motion clarity then LED TVs! Plasma TV's have near instant response times(.001ms)...LEDs response time(2ms)...2,000 times slower then Plasma! Plasma's also have faster refresh rates(600hz) then LED(240hz). Making Plasma TVs better at motion sharpness with fast motion content(sports, movies & gaming)!

More info here: http://www.plasma-lcd-facts.co.uk/

My recommendations:

*Panasonic 42" 1080p(TC-P42S1): http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Panasonic+-+VIERA+/+42%22+Class+/+1080p+/+600Hz+/+Plasma+HDTV/9317287.p?id=1218084032650&skuId=9317287

**Panasonic 42" 1080p(TC-P42U1): http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Panasonic+-+VIERA+/+42%22+Class+/+1080p+/+600Hz+/+Plasma+HDTV/9244301.p?id=1218066284214&skuId=9244301

***Panasonic 46" 1080p(TC-P46S1): http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Panasonic+-+VIERA+/+46%22+Class+/+1080p+/+600Hz+/+Plasma+HDTV/9317269.p?id=1218084030037&skuId=9317269

****Panasonic 46" 1080p(TC-P46U1): http://www2.panasonic.com/consumer-electronics/shop/Televisions/VIERA-2009-HDTVs-Series/VIERA-U1-Series-Plasma-1080p-HDTVs/model.TC-P46U1_11002_7000000000000005702

And come to think of it, no LED company actually discloses the exact amount of electricity their TVs consume! For all we know is that it's not what they're saying! Panasonic not only discloses their TVs energy consumption, but also their TVs "native" contrast ratios! Compare that to the LED companies!

And Panasonic HDTVs have the lowest failure rate of any brand of HDTV!

How to connect Wii to VIZIO LED TV?

jose3872@s

Answer
Make sure the red white and yellow plugs are in their proper spots on the TV and Wii, set up the sensor bar just above or below your TV (Which ever you prefer) and make sure it's plugged into the Wii. Plug the Wii into an electrical outlet and you should be set.

Just to clairify: The red white and yellow ends should go into the TV, and the other end into the Wii.

I have multiple vertical lines on my Samsung led tv. What might be causing this? Easy fix?

lance46835

Answer
Can't tell you exactly what's causing the lines to appear on the screen, but I can't tell you whether the defect is in the tv or not. If your tv was manufactured in 2009 or later, you can do a picture test/self diagnostic on the tv. If the lines appear on the picture test, the problem is with the tv and it will require service Also if you have more than one external device connected to the tv, switch the source/input to that of the external device. If the lines appear on that second source, the tvv requires service. Instructions for how to do a picture test are as follows:

1. On the Samsung tv's remote, press the menu button
2. Continue pressing the down arrow button until "Support" or a question mark in a bubble is highlighted and press "enter"
3. Go to "Self Diagnostic"
4. Go to picture test.

Once again, if the lines appear on the picture test and/or on a different source, the tv will require service.You can 1-800-726-7864. If the line doesn't appear on more than one source and it doesn't appear on the picture test, the problem is coming from whatever device you have connected to it. You may want to try using a different set of cables to connect that device to the tv or call the manufacturer of that device.

Green vertical lines on tv?

Jon Vo

I have a COBY 23" TFT LED TV and just this morning it randomly started having green lines that cover the entire tv. After a little it fades away and comes back. PLEASE HELP IDK WHAT TO DO!

Answer
Live with it or go buy a new TV, a proper name brand one.

Coby TVs are junk not worth darkening the door of a TV repair place.
