What kind of force does it take to damage a pixel on an HDTV LED screen?

Yup

I was hanging my curtain rod up and my Samsung 29" LED HDTV was on the dresser in front of the window in my bedroom. The stupid metal loops the fit onto the rod slid off as I was tilting the rod to hang it on the wall above the window and slapped the LED screen about 2 feet below. Should I be that anally worried about my new HDTV and its screen or am I overworrying? Next time I hang a curtain up, I'll just move the damn TV off the dresser and place it somewhere else. It seems like everything I've done so far has vowed to do harm to this new TV that I love. I'm really protective of it.

Answer
The "pixels", that is, the LED elements that produce the points of light, are beneath at least one layer of protective plastic. It's very unlikely that you damaged one of them. If you turn it on and don't notice any problems in the picture in the area that was hit, it's fine. Almost certainly, the worst you've done is put a slight scuff on the plastic surface, and most of that can be polished out if you insist.

Having trouble with getting led hdtv to get a signal?

jose

just got a new led hdtv but cant get a signal. everything is connected, but still cant get to show an image/sound. i tried every possible combination. i have dish satellite tv. that being said, do i need to contact my satellite provider for instructions? anyone else having/had this problem, and how did you fix it?

Answer
The satellite box will provide some video if it s on, so connect that to an A/V in on the TV, preferably component or HDMI.

Try another A/V source on those inputs.

If it is a Dishnetwork TV 2 output, set the TV to cable and scan. The TV 2 channel will be in the 60s or 70s, and be analog SD

What are the advantages of having a LED hdtv than the other normal LCD tvs?

mark lloyd

Im planning to buy a LED hdtv this new year, but i really cant see the difference aside from the "light-emitting diode" feature. I mean, the resolution would be the same (1920 x 1080) like the other HD tv's. They say it's less power consumption, thinner pannel, dramatic impact etc. But aside from all these, what makes it stand out from the others?

Answer
LED TVs tend to have better contrast ratios (e.g. 1'000'000:1) therefore it is better at separating the darkest darks from the whitest whites consequently providing a more realistic image for the viewer.

That is the main advantage I am acquainted with, everything which you have stated is most of what I have read and heard.

Can you tell the difference between 720p and 1080p displayed on a 32 inch led hdtv?

Roland

i was looking to buy a 32 inch samsung led hdtv and i'm not sure if i should get the 720p or 1080p version. i like to sit fairly close to the tv due to my bad eyesight. i plan on using mostly to play call of duty and stream movies on Netflix. there is a one hundred dollar difference between the two tvs and i was wondering if is worth spending the extra money

Answer
It really gets down to personal preference. They say the tipping point between noticing a difference between 720 and 1080 is around 40". That is completely subjective though. The closer you sit...the more likely you are to notice. But then again...with poor eye sight (which you said you have) - you probably wont notice at all.

In the end...the only real way to tell is to look at both TV's on display somewhere and set yourself in front of them at about the same distance you would be at your home. If you can;t tell a difference...then save the money.
