About TV/DVD combo if they break?

William

I have been saving money for a new tv for a while now and I found this...

http://www.walmart.com/ip/Sceptre-E245BD-FHD-24-60Hz-LED-1080p-2.6-ultra-slim-HDTV-DVD-Player/21668672

It's an good size tv for me but I have a question. If the dvd function stops working on a dvd/tv combo like this does the tv not work too?

I have heard about this happening with vcr/tvs in the past but surely they must've fixed that by now right?

Answer
It's never a good idea to buy a tv combo. Best to just buy a tv and then a blu ray. Blu rays are very cheap. And Sceptre is a junk brand. Save some more money or look around a little, many good quality tvs are on clearance now as new models will be in soon. Samsung, Sony, even Toshiba or LG. Stay away from the no name brands.

Is playstation 3d display worth it?

Lebron06

Is the playstation 3d display same as the 24 inch led t.v? I am going to use for a computer, xbox360, and a ps3. Is the display going to be good? Is it better than buying a led t. v. I am confused please help thx.

Answer
I dunno, but there's probably a reason why they're on clearance for half the price they were a year ago. But I hear it's a decent 3D TV, as long as you don't mind playing on a relatively small 24" screen. Durability and longevity could be a major issue.

What are the differences between the normal ps3 and the ps3 slim.Can we say that one is better than the other?

michalis_r

Also, if you know, Is there going to be a PS3 special edition of Final Fantasy XIII in europe, and how is it gonna look like? like the japanese one?
Also is their even the slightest change of the graphics?

Answer
Same as he said, power, efficiency, style, size etc. have changed
the thing is that i got the old style but wouldn't change it. yes it's a little heavier and bigger but the gloss finish goes with most LCD/LED TV except for some Bravia's (sony) will a rough finish, then i would get the rough slim line but power really isn't that much higher do to similar components.
The touch controls are more sleek compared to the old button style on the new slim.
The standard hard drive for the old style was at highest 80gb compared to the 250gb of the slim but i've seen a 1tb (terabyte) hard drive on ebay for £80-£100 which would make it 4 times bigger.
and on Failure, mine hasn't broke once and nor has any of my friends, all got old style except 1(xmas).
and no, they don't sell the old style new anymore but you could be lucky to find cheap clearance stock (which i would jump at the chance) but good second hand ones are everywhere.
but up2you so take your pick!
what is rubbish is that japan have an exclusive white version which looks so stylish and modern (light and bright too)

Color Schemes For a Teenage Girls Bedroom?

led tv clearance image

massikur

I would like my room to look more appealing. Right now it looks to.... bland. I can't paint my walls, my walls are white btw. I have a dark wood bed, vanity, nightstand, and bookcase. I am getting a white desk, and a white mini bookcase or storage bench for my school work (haven't decided yet, im home schooled.) And i am painting my TV stand white. I wanted to get cream colored stuff but that didn't work out.

I was thinking the main colors in my room could be turquoise with accents of another color maybe a dark pink or raspberry. (y'all can choose other colors.) Also should I have another accent color of white or black?

Why does the media avoid the obvious conclusion that vegetarian diets are healthier?

Crocoduck

If you read through the news headlines, you'll often hear about scientific studies finding things such as
*Vegetable protein reduces the chance of heart disease
*Red meat increases the risk of diabetes, cancer and heart disease; processed meat is even worse
*Consumption of high-fat high-calorie burgers causes heart disease
*Consumption of beans, lentils, nuts, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables reduces the risk of heart disease and cancer (Basically they're saying that any natural vegetarian food reduces the chance of heart disease and cancer - but they won't ever say the word Vegetarian)
*Seafood contains high levels of Mercury; this is especially hazardous for pregnant women

What you won't ever hear about is any scientific evidence that meat prevents any known disease - because there is no scientific evidence that meat consumption prevents any disease from occurring.

There is only one obvious conclusion that all of these findings are pointing towards - that meat consumption is not necessary, and that vegetarian diets are actually healthier. Yet, you'll never hear that conclusion in a news headline. Instead you'll just read "eat more beans and whole grains", "eat less red meat", etc..

Answer
As Proud Vegan stated, the meat and dairy industries are multibillion-dollar corporations; they have extremely powerful lobbyists and enough money to control much of our government, research and media.

A few examples: It is a well-established fact that the meat, dairy and egg industries "blatantly overstep ethical boundaries through the lobbying tactics they exert over federal officials and the U.S. Department of Agriculture." The Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine (PCRM) successfully sued the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for concealing the fact that more than six of the eleven members of the USDA's Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (which creates the Dietary Guidelines for the entire nation) have deep personal financial ties to the meat, dairy, or egg industries which constitute a severe conflict of interests (such that foods proven to be unhealthy still remain in the governmentâs diet plan). Although the courts ruled in favor of PCRM, these USDA members continue to serve on the board.

The USDA was also attacked when they attempted to implement "Meatless Mondays" in their agency offices. Their newsletter's "Greening Headquarters Update" read in part: "While a vegetarian diet could have a beneficial impact on a personâs health and the environment, many people are not ready to make that commitment. Because Meatless Monday involves only one day a week, it is a small change that could produce big results. According to the U.N., animal agriculture is a major source of greenhouse gases and climate change. It also wastes resources. In addition there are many health concerns related to the excessive consumption of meat.") When the National Cattlemenâs Beef Association and livestock produces publically expressed outrage, the USDA immediately withdraw their newsletter and issued the following public statement: âU.S.D.A. does not endorse Meatless Monday. [The newsletter] was posted without proper clearance."

In addition to their control over the USDA and other government agencies, the meat, dairy and egg industries (which are very heavily subsidized by the government) leap into action against anyone they perceive to be slandering them. For example, when Oprah Winfrey interviewed former cattle rancher Howard Lyman on her TV show, the Texas cattlemen association (led by billionaire Paul Engler) filed suit against Oprah, her guest, Harpo Productions (which produces Oprah) and King World Syndicator for supposedly violating Texas' "Food Disparagement" law by portraying the animal agricultural industry in an unflattering light.

Although "Food Disparagement Laws" purport to apply to all food, it is fairly uncommon for anyone to speak out against the practices of broccoli farming. It is the horrifying, unethical and unsanitary practices of animal agriculture which cause legitimate concern for individual health, social welfare and the environment. From Wikipedia: "Food libel laws, also known as food disparagement laws have been passed in 13 U.S. states to make it easier for food producers to sue their critics. These 13 states include Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Texas. Many of the food-disparagement laws establish a lower standard for civil liability and allow for punitive damages and attorney's fees for plaintiffs alone, regardless of the case's outcome. Food libel laws typically allow a food manufacturer or processor to sue any person or group who makes disparaging comments about their food products. In some states these laws also establish different standards of proof than are used in traditional American libel lawsuits, including the practice of placing the burden of proof on the party being sued."

In Oprah's case, the court ruled against the cattlemen. However, most targets of the meat, dairy and egg industry (whether individuals or corporations) don't have Oprah's resources and are unable to fight back... and in fact even Oprah no longer speaks publicly on the issue (she even refuses to make videotapes of the original TV interview available).

These are just a few examples of the incredible power and reach of the meat, dairy and egg industries. Although the science coming from our leading medical institutions (Cornell, Harvard, et cetera) is overwhelming in favor of vegan and vegetarian diets, there is not currently enough financial power (or political will) to fight these incredibly powerful and monopolizing industries. Worse yet, the so-called "Ag-gag laws" (which make it illegal for concerned employees or citizens to view or report on abuses observed with the animal agricultural industries) are making it harder than ever for activists to reveal the truth about animal agriculture and factory farming.

Are there any 37" TV's less than 35" wide?

led tv clearance image

chrisgenny

I can only fit a 35" wide TV in there and I do not want a 32". Any 37" LCD or LED Under $700. I've seen a 37" Vizio LED that I like but its a little over 35. Is there any way i can wall mount it at the back with a pullout arm on the mount? The entertainment center is built it and can not be removed. But i could make it wider, which would cost a lot of time and money.

Answer
This looks like the same or a similar question I answered within the past few days. At the time, I spent a lot of time looking for a 37 inch set with overall width under 35 inches, and found none.

The hazard here is that you are putting the set's physical dimension ahead of more important parameters that determine the quality of the set's performance. If you luck out and find a 37 inch TV that's 34.9 inches wide, is it really a good TV or is it a bottom-of-the-barrel bummer?

Also, jamming a set into a 35 inch wide space with no clearance on the sides is a bad idea. Those sets need air to circulate around them because they give off a lot of heat in normal operation. You especially need clearance at the top, but you don't want to close off the sides either.

You have two practical choices: a 32 inch TV or a retrofit on your shelf system.

Info about Samsung UN55D6000SF LED TV?

I kRaToS I

Hello all! So i just purchased the model TV above (Samsung UN55D6000SF). I have tried to research this model and everywhere i have seen says the model is "discontinued" and am curious if anyone has any info as to why this particular model is discontinued? Price points put this unit anywhere between 1100 and 1700 $. I purchased it on clearance (brand new still sealed in box) at my local walmart for $850. I just placed it on layaway so i havent actually brought it home/used it yet. So if anyone has any information at all regarding this product being discontinued and why please let me know, any info is greatly appreciated!

Answer
I want to help you to find the answers. But even if I had asked the Samsung customer service by live chat . They also can not provide an answer because of the limitations of the information database Samsung factory.
