best led tv 40 image
Sarah C
I watch a ton of Blu-Rays, HD cable and video games kn mh Samsung 46" LED TV. It is now over a year old. I run it about 4-5 hours a day, backlight set to 7, brightness at 40, contrast at 100, dark levels at darkest. These settings look outstanding with what I watch and play.
Based on these settings, what would the approx. lifespan of my TV be?
Answer
Most tv in the market today are rated at 60,000 to 100,000 hours before they go half it's brightness. This also depends on the brand that you get. Any bargain price tv are not very reliable. Go online to Home Theater Magazine and read the reviews on tvs along with the pro and con of each technology. You will notice that Panasonic dominates the list with a Plasma tv. In November issue of the magazine it named the Panasonic Plasma tv model VT25 as the best tv for 2010. If you read yahoo questions, you will notice that 95% of tv problems comes from LCD tv and 95% of those are the bargain price tv. Keep in mind, you get what you pay for. I still have my first Pioneer Plasma tv model 4330 purchased in 2002 and have had no problems (purchase price was $6,400). Hope this will help you out.

Is fiber optic/digital sound the best way to get sound from your tv to your home theater system?
Johann Sat
I have just purchased a sony bravia 40" led tv and have an older sony home theater system. I'm looking for the best way to get the sound from my tv to my sound system and would like to know if fiber optics is the best way or, if I should just get a high quality RCA cable... I would also like to know what the best cable to buy is. It's my first time actually having a tv with different output options.
Answer
If the distance between the TV and the receiver is less than 10 feet, don't worry too much about getting the best optical cable money can buy. The second cheapest will do the job. Unless you are using the built-in tuner with antenna for broadcast TV, I suggest you connect your cable or satellite tuner to the receiver instead of the TV. The TV only outputs Dolby Digital 2.0(stereo) from other sources via the optical output. The cable and satellite box will output full Dolby Digital surround when selected as output in their respective settings menus.
