what company manufactures the proscan 19" wide screen digital led tv model pledv1948a?

Josephine

Answer
I copied and pasted this from Wikipedia about Proscan

Proscan is one of the American brand divisions of Thomson Consumer Electronics, with products competing with higher-end electronics. The ProScan name is owned by RCA. The company created television and video products to compete with Sony's Trinitron XBR, Pioneer's Elite, and other electronics brand lines. Competition is focused mainly on price to size ratio. The tagline for ProScan is "So advanced, yet so simple."
The Proscan brand superseded the RCA Dimensia line in the early 1990s after the purchase of RCA by General Electric and lasted into the early 2000s until it was dropped for the current RCA Scenium brand. Thomson SA has never manufactured or distributed televisions in the United States labeled Thomson. In 2006, Thomson Consumer Electronics licensed the Proscan name to ON Corporation, although they retain ownership of the name and logotype. On Corporation sold ProScan to Curtis International Ltd. in 2011. ProScan is now owned by Curtis International Ltd..
The company now specializes in television, focusing mostly on HDTV LCD, LED and plasma televisions. It also offers home theater systems and a few televisions.

What LED TV is backlit?

Mr Univers

It is my understanding that only SONY and SAMSUNG have true backlit LED TV's. All others have EDGE or DYNAMIC EDGE or other EDGE lighting. I have noted that Sony systems with HX are backlit and NX and EX have EDGE. For Samsung, I have seen that D7000 and D8000 are using backlit LED's. The problem is I have seen reviews of the systems that say these HX and D7000 systems are using EDGE. So what is the deal? Why can't a simple declaration be so mixed up? why can't the companies just state how their systems are configured? Please let me know which systems you know use BACKLIT LED's. thx
Yes, which systems have FULL MATRIX Backlighting?

Answer
All TVs with an LCD screen are "backlit." That is, the liquid crystal pixels form the picture, but they have to be illuminated from behind by some type of light.

In older or cheaper LCD sets, the backlight is a fluorescent lamp. In "LED" sets, it's a bank of light emitting diodes.

There are 2 types of LED backlighting, full matrix and edge. Edge-lit sets have LEDs behind the perimeter of the display. Such sets can be very thin. Full-matrix sets have a solid array of LEDs behind the display, which allows for "local dimming" of parts of the picture, for improved clarity and contrast.

Bottom line: an "LED" TV is simply an LCD TV with light emitting diodes for the backlighting, either edge or full matrix. What you are describing in your question as "true backlit" is in fact full matrix backlighting.
-------------------------------
Re your additional details: there's no way to answer that without researching every model of "LED" TV on the market. You just have to look at the specs on any TV that interests you. If it's full matrix, there will be some sort of language that's consistent with my explanation above. One of them that you might see is "local dimming."

Which one is better LED TV or LCD TV and why?

ilia lilo

Answer
LED TV ( LCD display use LED for back-light ) is much better than LCD TV. more rich color reproduction and better dark color display.is also well " cover / hide " away the " motion blur ".use 40 to 50 % less Energy than LCD TV.LED TV the only display technologies as this moment closer to Plasma display. ( OLED TV is not on the market yet. except Sony 11 inc OLED TV for show ) .
LED TV is LCD technologies RE-FINE and Improvement . it should be replace LCD TV in 5 to 8 years time.LED TV prices will be 30-40 % less in time to come. based on history. 13 inc LCD TV in 14 years ago is USD 1800 and 40 inc LCD TV cost more than USD 5000 around 2001 , first 42 inc Plasma TV cost around USD 6000 .
Best Pictures quality for big screen HD TV is Plasma .
LED TV perform 94 % Plasma pictures quality,( to human eye will not get the difference ) but cost much more.
LCD TV is " GOOD " because of full screen size from 2 inc to 108 inc and affordable prices for every once. there is standard enter level / mid and Hi End models to well-suited consumers need.

Motion Blur on 120hz? Only when...?

Q. How come there's only motion Blur on the 120hz when I play Netflix Streaming from the Blu-Ray Player and video from computer via VGA cable to 1080p/120hz TV?

No blur from basic monitor use, or Standard Def. TV, or basic DVD?

Answer
LCD and LED tv have problems with blur motion, the 120HZ and 240HZ refresh rate only reduce the blur motion. This is when there is a fast move on the screen of the tv. Plasma does not have the same problem as those of the LCD or LED tvs. The bargain price tv will be more noticeable blur motion than those tv from Samsung, Panasonic and Sony. Hope this will help you out.

Gaming on a 19" inch led tv?

Sebastian

Would i be able to do this and still get good resolution. ATM I'm using a 15,6 inch laptop screen.

Answer
The resolution from any source on a screen that small will be excellent. A bigger concern is the set's specs that are important for gaming: a refresh rate of 120 hz or more (100 in Europe) and a response time something less than 5 or 6 ms., and 2 ms. is better.

These are upgrades to any basic LED/LCD set, but they are important in gaming or in watching fast-action sports.

How does LED TV work ?

Student

Answer
LED-backlit LCD television (called LED TV by Samsung Electronics, Panasonic,Toshiba, Philips, LG Electronics, ProScan and Vizio and not to be confused with true LED displays) is an LCD TV that uses LED backlighting[1] rather than fluorescent lights used in traditional LCD televisions.

The LEDs can come in two forms, Dynamic RGB LEDs which are positioned behind the panel, or white Edge-LEDs positioned around the rim of the screen which use a special diffusion panel to spread the light evenly behind the screen.[2]

LED Backlighting Techniques
[edit] RGB Dynamic LEDs
This method of backlighting allows dimming to occur locally creating specific areas of darkness on the screen. This can show truer blacks, whites and PRs at much higher dynamic contrast ratios, at the cost of less detail in small bright objects on a dark background, such as star fields.[3]

[edit] Edge-LEDs
This method of backlighting allows for LED-backlit TVs to become extremely thin. The light is diffused across the screen by a special panel which produces a uniform color range across the screen.

Sharp also has LED backlighting technology that aligns the LEDs on back of the TV like the RGB Dynamic LED backlight, but it lacks the local dimming of other sets.[4]

[edit] Differences between LED-backlit and CCFL-backlit LCD displays
LED-backlit LCD TVs differ from conventional CCFL-backlit LCD TVs in the following:

They can produce an image with greater dynamic contrast compared with CCFL-backlit LCD TVs.[5]
With Edge-LED lighting they can be extremely slim. Current models on the market can be less than one inch thick.[5]
They can offer a wider color gamut, especially when RGB-LED backlighting is used.[5]
Lesser environmental pollution on disposal.[5]
Higher cost due to current market product placement.[5]
[edit] Technology
TV manufacturers can use an LED backlight instead of the standard Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps (LCD-CCFL) used in most LCD televisions. It is important to distinguish this method of simply backlighting a conventional LCD panel, from a hypothetical true LED display, or an OLED display. LCD-based televisions described as 'LED TVs' are vastly different from self-illuminating OLED, OEL or AMOLED display technologies. In terms of the use of the term 'LED TV' in the UK, the ASA (Advertising Standards Authority) has made it clear in prior correspondence that it does not object to the use of the term, but does require it to be clarified in any advertising. There are several methods of backlighting an LCD panel using LEDs including the use of either White or RGB (Red, Green and Blue) LED arrays positioned behind the panel; and Edge-LED lighting, which uses white LEDs arranged around the inside frame of the TV along with a special light diffusion panel designed to spread the light evenly behind the LCD panel.

An LED backlight offers several general benefits over regular CCFL backlight TVs, typically higher brightness. Compared to regular CCFL backlighting, there may also be benefits to color gamut. However advancements in CCFL technology mean wide color gamuts and lower power consumption are also possible. The principal barrier to wide use of LED backlighting on LCD televisions is cost.

The variations of LED backlighting do offer different benefits. The first commercial LED backlit LCD TV was the Sony Qualia 005 (introduced in 2004). This featured RGB LED arrays to offer a color gamut around twice that of a conventional CCFL LCD television (the combined light output from red, green and blue LEDs produces a more pure white light than is possible with a single white light LED). RGB LED technology continues to be used on selected Sony BRAVIA LCD models, with the addition of 'local dimming' which enables excellent on-screen contrast through selectively turning off the LEDs behind dark parts of a picture frame.

Edge LED lighting was also first introduced by Sony (September 2008) on the 40 inch BRAVIA KLV-40ZX1M (referred to as the ZX1 in Europe). The principal benefit of Edge-LED lighting for LCD televisions is the ability to build thinner housings (the BRAVIA KLV-40ZX1M is as thin as 9.9mm). Samsung has also introduced a range of Edge-LED lit LCD televisions with extremely thin housings.

LED-backlit LCD TVs are considered a more sustainable choice, with a longer life and better energy efficiency than plasmas and conventional LCD TVs.[6] Unlike CCFL backlights, LEDs also use no mercury in their manufacture. However, other elements such as gallium and arsenic are used in the manufacture of the LED emitters themselves, meaning there is some debate over whether they are a significantly better long term solution to the problem of TV disposal.

Because LEDs are able to be switched on and off more quickly than CCFL displays and can offer a higher light output, it is theoretically possible to offer very high contrast ratios. They can produce deep blacks (LEDs off) and a high brightness (LEDs on), however care

are led tvs really better than lcds?

sharp

looking to purchase my second hdtv but im torn between lcd and led whats really the difference

Answer
There's no such thing as a 'LED' TV, that's Samsung marketing. "LED" TVs are just LCD TVs with LEDs for back lights instead of CCFL back lights in standard LCD TVs. They do perform better than standard LCD TVs if they are 'local dimming' models. The edge lit configuration used to get that super thin panel loses the advantage of local dimming.

Even with the advantage, it doesn't fix the problems of LCD TVs. Off angle viewing is still a problem, lag time isn't fixed, and even though the blacks can be deep, local dim LED/LCD TVs can still suffer from halos because the number of back lights can never match the pixel count.

If you are ready to drop big coin on a LED/LCD TV, you'd be better going with the new 2010 panasonic plasma TVs that are coming in the next few months, no LED/LCD TV will be able to touch them.

I would check all of your connections. Make sure they are all in the right jacks and connected solidly. I've never heard of a setting on a tv that selects only black and white but it might be worth checking. Have you tried a diskplayer? Is it in color? Are you using an HDMI cable or the coax inputs?

Whats better 65 vizio led tv or sharp led 65 aqua?

degortarie

Answer
Which two models? Generally, Vizios are cheaper. You tend to pay a bit more for a Sharp, but they do tend to make a better big screen television than most other manufacturers. No matter which one, if you're buying it at a store like Best Buy, get a protection plan. Trust me, from personal experience, when you buy a TV of that size and at that price, you'll be glad you're protected. BTW the LE650U from sharp is a pretty good TV in terms of Picture Quality. The black levels are only slightly above average, but if you really want good black levels, get a plasma. Both TVs are better in brighter rooms than in darker rooms. Get a plasma for darker rooms, again.

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.

What TV should I buy?

Margaret H

I have a huge old dinosaur Zenith TV that is on the way down. I would like to buy a modern TV, 32", and be able to view Youtube and website programs like on Vimeo on my TV screen, instead of sitting in front of my computer monitor. I have Comcast cable. I am looking at different TVs and there are 720's and 1080's, and as I research, I see some confusing info. If you know what you're talking about, can you advise me please? I thought my husband would get a kick out of watching the SuperBowl on a nice new bigger TV this weekend, but I honestly don't know what to shop for.

Answer
Brands that I like the most and probably from best to least:
- Panasonic, Samsung, LG, Sony, Toshiba, Phillips.
- When you buy a tv, make sure it good and has all the input and outputs that will be needed.

Plasma >=< LED > LCD (LED is the same, but a upgrade from a LCD).
- Best picture quality = Plasma. (Plasma's are not good for bright rooms and the way plasma's are designed don't really need higher refresh rates to fix motion blur = plasma's have little to no motion blur). (LED's are good for bright rooms, but need higher refresh rates to get less motion blur, but higher refresh rates can cause a soap opera effect).
- Best audio quality = Plasma.
- Best energy consumption and environment friendly = LED.
- Best reliability = LED. (Plasma's can have burn in and don't last as long as LED's).

1920x1080 resolution or higher resolution is good (1920*1080=2,073,600 pixels).
- 1080 resolution is better than 720 resolution.
- Bigger tv's are better with 1080 than 720 (If the tv is around 32 inches or less I would go with 720, any bigger I would just want a 1080 especially for tv's that are over 42 inches).
- Farther you sit away from the tv means it's better to go with 1080 than 720 (If you watch more than 6 feet away from your tv, then I definitely would go with 1080).

Progressive scan > interlaced scan.
- Progressive scanning is a way of displaying, storing, or transmitting moving images in which all the lines of each frame are drawn at the same time.
- Interlaced scanning is a way of displaying, storing, or transmitting moving images in which all the odd lines of a frame is displayed first then all the even lines of a frame is displayed second.
- Example: 1080p > 1080i
- Example: 720p > 720i
- Example: 1080i > 720p (because more resolution is better for slower passed videos).
- Example: 720p > 1080i (because fast pass videos you be better off with progressive scan).

FPS = frames per second (of a video).
- Frame rate is how many individual images are displayed in a second. Think of a video as a fast moving flip book.
- NTSC countries use 30p or 60i fps.
- PAL countries use 24p/25p or 50i fps.

Hz = refresh rate (of a tv).
- Example: A tv with a 120hz refresh rate, meaning it refreshes the entire tv screen 120 times a second, some tv's use black light scanning.
- Another way is to have a computer program in the television digitally analyze concurrent frames and use the data to create intermediary frames. The insertion of these frames is called interpolation and they are what cause the soap opera effect.
- Many vendors allow viewers to turn off interpolation and force the television to repeat the same frame a number of times or use a more traditional 3:2 or 2:3 pulldown. This creates a more cinematic effect.

For NTSC countries:
- Example: To display 30 frames per second on a TV with a 120 hz refresh rate, each frame is repeated 4 times every 30th of a second.

For PAL countries:
- Example: To display 24 frames per second on a tv with a 120hz refresh rate, each frame is repeated 5 times every 24th of a second.

When the frame rates of a video cannot not divide into the refresh rate of a tv equally like the above examples, there is more math to it and there is 3:2 or 2:3 pull downs.

I am still new to 3d tv's, ill have to get into them as well and I am not really a fan of 3d tv's anyways.
- All I can say for now is I only like it for very slow moving scenes.

I am not really a fan of projectors either.

Plasma, LCD, LED TVs?

Josh

I'm looking to buy a 50"+ TV for my parents. I cannot believe how difficult it is to make a decision on what to get.

From what I can tell, an LED TV is basically the same as LCD, just it uses LED for back lighting. Cool idea, but it jacks the price up a bit from the standard LCD and I can't imagine it would add enough of a performance increase to justify the additional cost.

Therefore I am focusing on LCD and Plasma.

My parents will have this TV in their living room which gets plenty of light -- I've read that Plasma TVs are hard to see in the light so that makes me think that LCD is probably the way to go?

The main thing that scares me from Plasma is the thought of burn in. I've had enough computer monitors over the year with burn in -- I don't want to be seeing sports/news/ticker ghosts when I go home during holidays.

Any comments? Thanks

Answer
You are correct in that LED is just a lighting source change for LCD HDTVs. The quality difference can be quite substantial. But is it worth the cost? That's a personal choice that's different for everyone. But the image difference is rather noticeable.

Plasmas are more reflective than LCDs, yes. But modern ones also have far better anti-reflective screens than the original ones did (which gave it its reputation). And LCDs aren't completely devoid of issues against light, they might just be a bit better than Plasma. If there's too much light, it needs to be blocked, LCD won't save you.

Modern Plasmas don't suffer burn-in. Especially something from Panasonic. They have additional anti-image retention features above and beyond the advances in the technology. Its more myth now that anything else.

If you are concerned though (as some people still are), just condition the Plasma TV. For the first 100-200 hours of use, keep the brightness and contrast cranked down. Then do the optimizations for the TV. And don't let them tilt it (it must always be upright, no exceptions).

Plasma has a near instantaneous response time (0.001ms). It plays back fast motion flawlessly. This is inherent to the technology, so nothing extra to pay for.

LCDs have slower response times and suffer from motion blur issues. They try to help this with 120Hz/240Hz refresh rate options. But those are premium features YOU are expected to pay for. And they aren't 100%.

Plasmas deliver vivid colors, true blacks, and deep contrast. Again, inherent to the technology. So it comes like that out of the box, nothing extra to pay for.

CCFL LCDs (most) can sometimes suffer from muted colors, grey blacks, and weaker contrast. So this is fixed with the LED LCD. As mentioned it makes a big difference. But as you've seen they charge you a tone of money for it.

I would recommend a Panasonic Viera Plasma hands down, period. Look at the TC-P50S1 or TC-P50G10 options. The G10 adds more contrast basically. Both are 1080p. The G10 model is on for $1,100 on Amazon right now. That's a pretty sweet price for a top of the line 50" HDTV.

Will using my xbox damage an LED TV?

mark.degui

Alright so my dad just bought a new TV because our old one of 7 or 8 years kept turning off by itself (sounds like its broken) so we got a new one. This one http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/tv-video/televisions/led-tv/UN55B8500XFXZA/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&returnurl=


When I heard that we we're getting this T.V. I was thinking "Yes finally a new T.V. and its a

REALLY nice one too." However I was disappointed to learn that I would not be able to use my

xbox( not a 360 just the regular old one), or ps3 on it because they said that it would destroy the

the new tv like the old one. The old one was an SD TV just to let you guys know. Yeah that's right

I've been using one of those old boxlike tv's all the way till now. But anyway they said using the

xbox or ps3 on the new TV would destroy it so we will only use it for TV shows. We don't have

cable so you can imagine how many HD channels I'm going to get. We cant use it for blu ray

movies because our blu ray player, the ps3 is not allowed to be hooked up with the LED TV. We

cant use it for games also because the xbox and ps3 aren't supposed to be near it. As you can see

my situation is REALLY bad my parents just spent $5000 on a new TV and there are no games, no

movies, and no cable only digital TV and the only thing that I can think of in my area that shows

things in HD is the news. I mean I guess I can understand not wanting the new TV broken because

its so expensive and we're not rich otherwise we would have cable, and all these other great things.

but if we're just going to use it for regular digital TV and NOTHING else, I really believe we should

have gotten just another crappy SD TV instead of spending $5000 on this. Do you think so too?

So will my old version xbox or ps3 damage the LED TV in any way?
I really don't think that it was the console either. Where I live the power goes out often unexpectadly. And we don't have a surge protector. I think thats what destroyed it.

Answer
Nah, it shouldn't cause any harm. My friend has a LED TV and she uses xbox all the time.

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.

Where is the best place to get a good deal on a new TV?

warning!

I have not bought a TV before, so this is new to me. I am looking for a good deal. Also, is there a certain time of year to get a better deal?

Answer
First decide on what you have in mind to spend. They come $200 and less and $2000 and more, and everything in between. Next decide within the realm of price, wall mount or stand mount and size for the room. Then decide on audio - through the TV, or an enhanced sound system. After you have an idea, you have Fry's in-store sales on the West Coast, and price against internet Tigerdirect, Newegg, Amazon, and try Nextag as a pricing comparison. Occassionally, Walmart and Best Buy do something special. Understand brand quality. Top brands are Samsung, Sony, LG. Then Panasonic, Sharp, Toshiba. Then other covers the rest.
Plasma TVs are generally lower priced and heavier weight. LCD TFT-CCFL are fluorescent backlight LCD and generally have brighter but less uniform pictures and are mid-thickness, and LED-LCD is thinner and more uniform picture brightness. Plasmas are great day 1, and degrade faster. 720p is lower density pixels but cheaper. 1080p is higher density pixels. In LCD, refresh rate in milliseconds or Hertz determines the smoothness of flow of motion on the screen.
Know that all TVs have been shipped from China to US warehouses so the store location is not as important as you may think. But, standard delivery is doorstep - a large box outside your door, and bring in and/or setup is extra. Also, if you have Costco or BJs maybe, sometimes they have a deal. Check internet for reviews.
Time to buy, there are black friday after Thanksgiving, and Cyber Monday around then, and Xmas, and after Xmas, and generally new models are around April, so March is typically closeouts.
You also have extra features like internet capabilities for more money, and that would include Netflix direct reception among other features.
If not doing separate audio, beware of the watts per channel audio.
That's the general. Look at some at Best Buy if there is one near you, but don't buy the day you walk in no matter what.
Basic cheap set: http://www.frys.com/product/6802766
40 inch Coby brand $300
1920 x 1080 resolution is good, but Dynamic Contrast Ratio 6000:1 is awful. It means the picture will have a bit of a greyness to it. Refresh Rate 60Hz Response Time 8 ms means that in fast moving images you may sense a choppiness.

Decent brand, 46" diagonal size, LED backlit, 1080p, built-in Wifi, 120Hz, 10 Watts per Channel Audio. It isn't a super-deluxe 3D, and is not a cheap set. You decide what you want to spend, and what features you want, and what size you want, and understand that everything is trade-offs at a price.

What 51 " TV would you recommend?

Heirloomwa

I'm looking around... costco,best buy, etc where else should I look?

Answer
all you really need to know:
almost any TV that is 1080P and 120hz...and you'll have your ideal television...in terms of plasma or led/lcd...the latter because it usually gives the best picture...but if you have lots of $$$ to blow, DLP will blow your mind away as it's best for movies, tv, and other taxing games...and general rule of thumb is to go with big names like sony/phillips/etc...

Explained if you are interested:
if you want value...you'll want to avoid places like best buy as their prices are at least 15% marked up if you are instore, so check out only their website for exclusive prices and deals...for the best value...you can 99.99% of the time find it online...stores like costco/walmart/amazon online will show their deals as well as reviews on televisions...so find out other people's experiences...

it really depends on what you will be using the TV for but I recommend 1080P if you watch or plan on watching bluray movies, if not, 720p is more than enough since television providers do not even broadcast in 1080p...720p is usually marginally better than 1080i (max that is broadcasted by tv providers). You'll also want to get a TV that is 120hz screen refresh, avoid 60hz, and if you are thinking about 240hz, it's really overkill since our eyes can't really follow it...but the "600hz subfield motion"( just some high tech sounding banter that really says that it is still 60hz in the end...but with a "clearer" or "sharper" image)...but above all...AVOID 3DTV AT ALL COSTS...it's a neat little perk that if you like, go for it, but in actuality, there isn't much that is 3d just yet...and besides that...if you buy it now...in a couple years it will be around half of what you paid now...(there may eventually be a neat little adapter that plugs right into your tv and plays the 3d picture for you)...although great...you'll soon grow weary of it or come to find that there isn't much you can do right now with 3dtvs...unless you are big movie people, then just go for it with the few titles there are...

you'll want to go to the stores if you'd like to get an idea of how the different TV's handle picture, don't give in to sales peoples pressure of selling you a tv you don't want...even though names can be trusted...they can also be misleading...never buy right then and there...usually you'll get the worse price

What's so special about LED TV's?

Q. I have a 42 inch LG 120hz LCD TV. And I walk in the store
and I see my same LG 120hz TV I have, next to a LG 42
inch LED LCD 240hz and all I notice is the picture is brighter
and a bit more colorfull but 500 dollars more.

Answer
LED TVs...aka...LED LCD TV's have a couple advantages over standard LCD!

Most importantly, LED TVs use up to 50% less electricity then standard LCD TVs!

Also...LED TVs have better black levels and contrast ratios then standard LCD! This is do to the fact that LED back lights are smaller and can illuminate a smaller area. Providing better localized dimming compared to standard LCD's, which use long fluorescent tube back lights!

However...LED TVs still do not have the "native" contrast ratios that Plasma's have! Nor do they have the motion sharpness either! Plasma TVs still have the highest native contrast ratios(40,000:1) and fastest response times(.001ms) as well as the fastest refresh rates(600hz)! And Plasma's are cheaper then standard LCD TV's!

Would receiver afftect quality of fast 240Hz LED/LCD TV?

Andrew B

I was wondering if I should worry about receiver's capability of handling output to LED TV such as LG 55LE8500 240Hz.

I'm putting togather a list for a good/quality home theater system and would appreciate your input!

Here is what I have so far (on paper):

TV: 55" LG 55LE8500 240Hz
Receiver: Denon AVR1910 7.1-Channel Multi-Zone Home Theater Receiver (or better in the same price category or a bit higher)
Blu-ray player: LG BD590 250GB HD Network Blu-Ray Disc Player
Speakers: Bose Acoustimass 10 speaker system
HDMI cables: (Not sure yet)
and Logitech Harmony 900 universal remote control

Thanks in advance for any advise!

Answer
Yes,
Your receiver will have affect on your image quality on your LED tv.
But Denons are usually pretty good. You will have to look up more info on forums such as: AVscience, Tom's Hardware etc. [NOT ALL HDMI PASS-THRU's ARE CREATED EQUAL!] I'd also look at offerings from Samsung or Sharp [personal preference to those brands instead of LG... but LG definitely is great bang for buck!]

As for your package...
everything looks great! --- except for the Bose part.
I know that many may think that Bose is awesome and best... but that's not tru.
in case you did not know, the AM10 speakers are poor quality, and sound quality is OK at best. They are also unsuitable for music. It would be a waste to hook it up to the Denon AVR.
I'd check out offerings from Klipsch.
They too have compact systems: Klipsch HD500 - better sound, better build quality for le$$.
Also checkout the Klipsch Quintet... the speakers are a little bigger... but so is the sound.

Please take heed! - Bose is a rip-off. There are so many other brands and options. I've tested their systems and as they sound OK... there's so much better... then they charge arm and leg for mediocrity and bad quality.

Another sytem: If you are looking for toptop quality: Look at B&W MT series:
http://www.bowers-wilkins.com/display.aspx?infid=821&sc=ht
These will cost about the same as the AM10... give or take a little... and you will get 10x the sound quality... and be able to play music - with excellent, warm, accurate sound quality.

Please take a look at:
http://intellexual.net/bose.html
this site will give you the facts of the accoustimass/lifestyle series - which is garbage compared to the above options from Klipsch and B&W.

Good LUck!

I am wanting to by a 40" Sony or Samsung tv, its refresh rate must be at least 100Hz?

Demetrius

Any suggestions on which model to buy or where to buy one? Eg JB Hi fi or Grays online ect.
I don't mind if it's LED, LCD or plasma. I have done a fair bit of research but all the 100hz tv's are about the $1000, and I'm just a poor uni student.

Answer
if you have done some research you would know that sony tv's are NOT that good and panasonic plasma tv's are

and i would get a panasonic plasma tv with 600hz with a response time of 0.001ms compared to led/lcd tv's which have a response time of 2-8ms which will make them motion blur when playing games or watching sports and fast action based films

TV HELP! I have no clue about TV's and I'm going to be buying one.?

allylav

My sister has a TV that burns if its left on a certain image for to long. I forget what its called but I defiantly don't want that kind. I'm looking into something around 50". Not sure what brand yet but something like samsung or HP or Toshiba sounds good. (got any better?) I'm not looking for any crazy extras I just want at least two places available for me to attach my PS3 and DVD player. I'm looking for it in a black. I'm going to be hanging it on a wall.

I'm pretty much just asking what would be a best choice for someone who wants an old fashion(figuratively) flat screen TV. That doesn't have any of the neat 3D effects :P or any grand bullsh!t. If you don't have any specifics just give a hypothetical TV that I should look for.

Give whatever info you can.

Thanks alot! :D

Answer
I've looked at all kinds of TVs and own the four major types (DLP, Plasma, LED, LCD)...I haven't seen any of the obscure stuff like LCoS or Laser.

I use four brands, which are Panasonic (Plasma), Samsung (LCD), Sony (LED), and Mitsubishi (DLP).

I can say the Panasonic Plasma is probably the best value for your money. You won't get any blown pixels (LCD), motion 'blocking' (LED) and it should last a good long time.

You WILL need a solid HDMI input (like a monster) with a lot of shielding -- I like the 1000 but you can get away with an 800, especially if you plan on watching Blu-Ray. This also helps a BIT with motion 'blocking.'

You CAN get a 3D one for about 3 grand, but you can get a 50-inch that's black and wall-mountable (they all are with a kit), for about half that, or less online.

Good luck!

LCD, LED or Plasma for gaming?

me123

We're getting a new tv soon (it's going into the room with the PS3), and it's going to be 40-42". For gaming, should we get a Plasma, LED or LCD? LCD seem the cheapest for the best reviews, and I can't find any decent plasmas on amazon that aren't over 500 quid. LED seems too expensive.

I suppose my real question is: Is a 50 Hz 40 inch LCD which has a cheap price but GREAT reviews worth getting for gaming?

Thanks

Answer
if you use LED you will have the best gaming experience, but it is not worth it, bc now is coming out O-LED, that is flexible LED, so the LED price will drop ;D
so i would get a 1080i projector, bc it is a 1080, you can take it anywhere and it can project up to 300"
its a better deal i think...
if you cant afford it, get a 100 hz LCD bc now PS3 has 3D
ps: if you have a 100hz tv, you can use nVidia's 3D kit on your pc too

Can the Samsung LED TV be mounted on the wall?

Q. I kind of want the Samsung LED TV for my room, but I was hoping to get it mounted on the wall...

Answer
All LCD, Plasma and LED tv's can be mounted on walls. Just don't mount them above the fire place that you also use during the winter. Heat and water is the main enemy of every tv's. At the monent LED tv's are still priced high compare to LCD and Plasma, beside that Sumsang is the only one in the market with it. At the begining they are priced high, like when plasma first came out (42" was at $20,000 and now around $700). By this christmas price will drop. Hope this helps and enjoy.

Emerson LCD or Samsung LED tv?

Ryan

I am going to buy a 32" HDTV. There is an Emerson 32" LCD for $150, or a Samsung 32" LED for $250. They both seem to look the same but the Samsung being LED seems way more expensive... So I just want to know what the better deal is? Thanks.

Answer
Any TV that is LED is going to be better quality. Reason being is because an LED TV will give you a more detailed picture, and the colors will hold true from off angle positions in the room. A LCD screen will look good from straight on, however when you start looking at it from off angles, the glare from the light in the room will begin to hit the screen.

Tv 120hz vs 240hz which would be better?

Jesus

Ok so I'm looking for a new tv and I really don't know about the whole hz and fps.
My friend recompense me to get one with 240Hz. Will that picture look good?
He has one that is 240hz and when I saw it it looked like I was actually there in the tv show. Idk if the Hz caused that but does it make it look like realistic?
-And do you think the Vizio tvs are good?

Answer
- Top brands: Panasonic (Plasma) and Samsung (LED). (Plasma > LED > LCD). (LCD is going to be discontinued. A LCD tv uses cold cathode fluorescent lamps/CCFL backlights. A LED tv is a LCD tv, but with white or red, green, blue LEDs on the edge of the screen or a full array on the back of the screen).
= Plasma has best picture and audio quality (best response times, best viewing angle, best color quality, less/no motion blur for crisp/clear images because how it's refresh rate works). Newer Plasmas have improved their burn issues by using pixel shifting/scrolling. LCD/LED is best for bright rooms and have most light coming off the screen (Plasmas are not great for bright rooms because of screen glare and faded whites, but do great for dim or dark rooms). Newer Plasmas use less energy consumption and they are cheap to buy. LED are more popular because the manufacturers want to sell you their LED expensive tvs rather than their cheap Plasmas.

- I recommend 1920x1080p for movies, computer monitor/display, some tv shows, and some game console games and I recommend 1280x720p 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/29p/30p 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, usually they are up to 60 FPS today).
- 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.

- http://reviews.cnet.com/3dtv-buying-guide/
- http://reviews.cnet.com/best-high-definition-tvs/ (has models and reviews + more).

- Off brands use crappy/cheap and breakble electronics. For gamers I recommend the tv has at least duo/quad processores and gamer mode (gamer mode turns off stuff that requires processing/cpu power like upscaling/downscalling resolutions and/or interpolation/reapting frames for refresh rates.ect). TV's do have a input lag specification.

are they going to make lifted into a movie?

Michael

the full name is lifted failure is not an option

Answer
Not for the moment.
So far the short film, stays without a feature film.

In production (Pixar):

* Up in theaters May 29, 2009
* Toy Story 3 in theaters June 18, 2010
* newt in theaters Summer 2011
* The Bear and the Bow in theaters Christmas 2011
* Cars 2 in theaters Summer 2012

To date, Toy Story and Cars are the only Pixar films to have a sequel. Toy Story 2 was commissioned by Disney as a direct-to-video, 60-minute film. When Disney executives saw how impressive the work-in-progress imagery for the sequel was, they decided it should be reworked as a theatrical release. The resulting change in status of Toy Story 2 was one of the major causes of the disagreement between the two companies that nearly led to their split. Toy Story 3, will be the second theatrical sequel when it is released in June 18, 2010. Cars 2, the third theatrical sequel, is scheduled for release in the Q4 of 2012.

Toy Story is also the only Pixar film to be extended onto television, with the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command film and TV series.

Pixar is not against sequels, but believe that they should only be made if they can come up with a story as good as the original. Following the release of Toy Story 2, Pixar and Disney had a gentlemen's agreement that Disney would not make any sequels without Pixar's involvement, despite their right to do so. In 2004, after Pixar announced their failure to make a new deal, Disney announced that they would go ahead with sequels to Pixar's films with or without Pixar, although they stated they would prefer Pixar to agree to work on them. Toy Story 3 was put into pre-production at the new CGI division of Walt Disney Feature Animation, Circle 7 Animation.

When Lasseter was placed in charge of all Disney and Pixar animation following the merger, he stated that all sequels were immediately to be put on hold, with Disney going so far as to actually state that Toy Story 3 had been cancelled. However, in May of 2006, it was announced that Toy Story 3 was back in pre-production, now under Pixar's control.

Lasseter further fueled speculation on future sequels when he stated, "If we have a great story, we'll do a sequel". Cars 2, Pixar's first sequel not based on Toy Story, was officially announced on April 8, 2008.

Now that the deposed dictator is free, and the freely-elected president is not, what's next for Egypt?

Q.

Answer
Here`s yer` sign ~
Libyan Intelligence Confirms Muslim Brotherhood, Egyptian President Morsi Involved in Benghazi


Just two days after the attacks on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, reports were already coming out that the Muslim Brotherhood led Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi was somehow involved in the attacks. At the beginning of June, journalist Cynthia Farahat, linked Morsi to Benghazi from the same video in the link above and recently one of Egyptâs politicians was caught on a hot mic discussing war with their enemies, namely Israel and the United States. Now, according to a Libyan Intelligence document, the Muslim Brotherhood, including Egyptian President Morsi, were involved in the September 11, 2012 terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, where several Americans, including U.S. ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens, were killed.
Raymond Ibrahim reports:
On Wednesday, June 26, several Arabic websites, including Veto Gate, quoted the intelligence report, which apparently was first leaked to the Kuwaiti paper, Al Raâi. Prepared by Mahmoud Ibrahim Sharif, Director of National Security for Libya, the report is addressed to the nationâs Minister of Interior.

It discusses the preliminary findings of the investigation, specifically concerning an âEgyptian cellâ which was involved in the consulate attack. âBased on confessions derived from some of those arrested at the sceneâ six people, âall of them Egyptiansâ from the jihad group Ansar al-Sharia (âSupporters of Islamic Law), were arrested.

According to the report, during interrogations, these Egyptian jihadi cell members âconfessed to very serious and important information concerning the financial sources of the group and the planners of the event and the storming and burning of the U.S. consulate in Benghaziâ¦. And among the more prominent figures whose names were mentioned by cell members during confessions were: Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi; preacher Safwat Hegazi; Saudi businessman Mansour Kadasa, owner of the satellite station, Al-Nas; Egyptian Sheikh Muhammad Hassan; former presidential candidate, Hazim Salih Abu Ismaâilâ¦â

It should be noted that these findings are unsurprising: the supremacism of prominent Brotherhood figure Safwat Hegazi is such that he publicly declares the Brotherhood âwill rule the worldâ; Saudi Mansourâs hate-mongering, pro-Brotherhood TV station repeatedly aired footage of the YouTube Muhammad movie inciting violence around the Muslim world; popular Sheikh Muhammad Hassan holds that smiling to non-Muslims is forbidden, except when trying to win them over to Islam; and Sheikh Hazim Abu Ismail is simply an openly anti-freedom, anti-infidel religious leader.

The theory concerning the trade for Ambassador Chris Stevens for the âBlind Sheikâ Omar Abdel Rahman has been circulated for quite a while now. However, as Dean Garrison points out, âMorsi has been the missing link to hold that story together.â Weâve been told that Stevens was also involved in the movement of stinger missiles and that he died from a lethal injection, not smoke inhalation.

The United States is arming and aiding a known enemy and terrorist in Mohamed Morsi. Weâve supplied them recently with $1.3 billion in aid right on the heels of slipping them $250 million. Weâve sent them 20 F-16s along with helped them get $1 billion worth of German U-boats.

Additionally, our own State Department hired Al-Qaeda operatives to provide security for the diplomatic mission in Benghazi!

One would wonder why Obama and his cronies wouldnât be bringing this to light and implicating Morsi in the attack. It would seem to reason that this would alleviate some of the pressure from his administration, though not all of it. The only thing one can seriously consider here is that the Obama administration is indeed complicit in the attack in Benghazi.

Garrison seems to have hit the nail on the head on this piece of evidence. He writes:
My opinion is that the pieces have fallen together and Benghazi has been blown wide open. You probably wonât get that story on CNN but take all of the facts we have and look how they fit together.

Obama agreed to send the Blind Sheik home but he needed Stevens to make it look like a valid prisoner exchange. He made a deal to set it up. It blew up in his face and now we see our congressional leaders chasing their tails like puppy dogs while conveniently avoiding the important questions. The truth lies in Morsiâs involvement and our governmentâs obvious efforts to protect him. I would be shocked if this is not the real story. Though we may never actually know.

I believe that it was more than a case of negligence by our government. I believe they share guilt in the murder of four Americans. I believe they set it up.

Is there something wrong with my Vizio TV?

Matt

I have a 32 inch Vizio LCD TV in my room. Sometimes it does this really weird thing where it turns off and then the Vizio sign at the bottom of the TV keeps flashing on and off. The timing when it does this is inconsistent. Sometimes it will do this after the TV has been on for 3 hours and sometimes it will do this after the TV has been on for 15 minutes. Is there something wrong with my TV or is this just a common problem?

Answer
The power board circuit on your tv is going out. This is a common issue with bargain price tv. Most of the time it is not cost effective in repairing than just buying a new tv.
