What is different between the Plasma TV, LCD TV screen, and which is better for home use?
Many Thanks

Answer
Well this answer could get very long if i try to describe both those technologies for you, so here;

Plasma: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_display
LCD: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LCD

Both types have their positive and negative sides but Plasma is the best in terms of picture quality! They have the highest contrast ratio's(2,000,000:1 dynamic; 40,000:1 native) and the fastest refresh rates(600hz)! They are perfect for the living room and watching fast motion content like sports, movies & gaming. I own a Panasonic 42" Plasma TV and i absolutely love it! Great TV!

LCD's also have great picture quality, but still not as good as Plasma...even with the new LED backlit LCD's! LCD's are best for rooms with lots of ambient light do to the fact that Plasma's can have screen glare!

How did the world wide web and html change the world?

How did the world wide web and html change the world?
What are the positive and negative aspects of the world wide webs contribution to science?
thanks!

PROS http://www.cnn.com/2005/TECH/internet/06/23/evolution.main/index.html
(CNN) -- In 1994, most people had to call the bank to check their balances. Or inquire in person, or wait for a paper statement to arrive in the mail. Baseball box scores were found in the newspaper. Weather forecasts came over the phone from the weather bureau, or on TV. Back then, most Americans still had to lick a stamp to send mail.

The World Wide Web has transformed the way people live, work and play. People can play travel agent and book all the elements of a vacation online. They can arrange for their bills to be paid automatically while they are gone. They can put a hold on mail delivery, find directions to tourist attractions and get a long-term weather forecast before they pack.

All kinds of information is available. People no longer have to consult medical practitioners to get an overview of what may be wrong with them. They can learn about medications and side effects. You can also get information about your pet and there are websites where an online vet technician will answer your questions right away.

There is access to the latest science information and journals. You can get the transcripts from Nova and other science TV programs.

You can get information for homework and tutorials on things that are important to you. For example, you can learn how to apply make-up or how to cook a recipe.

The Internet has created a global community. I can play chess with someone from Thailand and answer a Yahoo question for someone living in the Philippines. People can practice a foreign language on various forums.

CONS
Many of those online users are irked by spam -- unsolicited offers for everything from lower mortgage rates to pornography, pharmaceuticals and pitches to help a Nigerian launder millions of dollars.

Another e-mail problem is phishing, the fake e-mail that looks like it is from a legitimate source. The bogus e-mail is designed to get the reader to divulge personal information, often a credit card number.

Identity theft is perpetuated by obtaining online information about someone. That is a danger. Also, chat rooms have led to pedophiles having access to kids.

Another "con" is the amount of time kids spend playing games on the Internet instead of doing homework or getting exercise.

What's the best type of HDTV for gaming out there?

led tv negatives image

edwnc

I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to this, I know that LCD and Plasma have been out for a while now, as well as DLP. Just recently I saw one of those brand new LED Tvs.

So...which of these would be my ideal choice? I would use it much like anyone else would (gaming, watching blu-ray movies, HD programming, etc.)

Which of these offers the best overall picture quality? What are the strengths and weaknesses with each of these TVs?

Thanks!

Answer
In terms of picture quality...Plasma is the best!

Plasma TV's = super high contrast ratios(2,000,000:1 dynamic; 40,000:1 native), giving you blackest blacks and more vivid and rich looking colors! Also have the fastest response times(.001ms) as well as fastest refresh rates(600hz), making them perfect for fast motion content like sports, movies & gaming. Currently...the only negative with today's Plasma's is energy consumption. On average uses the same as regular LCD's but uses 40% more then LED LCD's!

LED TV's = high contrast ratios(3,000,000:1 dynamic; 15,000:1 native). Close to Plasma's in pic quality(lower native contrast ratios)! However...response times(2ms) and refresh rates(240hz) still slower then Plasma's! The main negative with LED LCD's right now is cost! Very, very expensive compared to similar sized Plasma's and LCD's!

As for regular LCD's, they tend to work ok for games as long as they have very fast response times! However, they generally do not come close to Plasma's and LED's in black levels or color saturation! They tend to have more 'greyed' blacks and washed out colors!

DLP's on the other hand have very stunning pic qualities like LED's and Plasma's! However, they are very problematic and require new expensive lamps every couple thousand hours of use. Making them a bad long term investment!

Dollar for dollar...Plasma TV's are the best performing HDTV out their right now! Great picture qualities for an affordable price! http://www.plasma-lcd-facts.co.uk/

How do I connect Sony S-master Amp with Surround Sound speakers to my Toshiba TV.?

Q. I know nothing about electronics. There is no cable box, just the one cable form the wire to the TV. The speakers are a few years old, so I might be missing some cables that would attach it to the TV. Thanks!

Answer
New tvs either Plasma, LCD or LED have an optical audio output which have to be connected to a receiver or a home theater in a box. It is a digital audio output with surround sound information. Speaker have a post to connect speaker wire to them it is a positive and a negative post, any 16 gauge wire will work. Check the amp to see if you have an optical audio input, if it is a 2 channel amplifier then you won't have an optical audio input, only 2 rca jacks for the left and right channel. Hope this will help you out.

Whats the difference between LED/LCD and a LED TV?

led tv negatives image

Justin

Are they same? Will an LED/LCD still save on the amount of power it uses? And will it still have the same picture quality? If they are different, what is a better TV in your opinion?

Thanks for your help!

Answer
Led tv is better than a lcd tv. It uses less power and should last longer than a lcd tv.

Led tvs also have better picture that can be viewed from wider angle. if you hang a tv on a wall it can look like a photo negative if the angle is wrong. Look at a lcd tv from the side and you will know what i mean the picture looks good then looks bad a soon as you reach a certain angle to the tv. this is the same for height.

The led tvs have led lighting and they should last longer than the lcd tvs. they uses a lot less power than regular tv and plasma tvs. they use less than lcd tvs also.

What is it really like inside a mental institution or asylum?

Captain Wh

Do they really perform horrible experiments on these people? Is it painfully bleak and dreary inside the halls of the building? Do patients hate and want to kill the staff working there? What medicine is most prescribed to the "crazies?" All my conceptions of an asylum i have inferred from watching movies and tv shows. If you have ever been there or worked there , I would please like to know about the conditions inside an asylum from a first-hand source. Thanks in advance.

Answer
The term asylum really isn't used anymore, mostly because of its negative connotations.

There are two basic types of psychiatric hospitals: short term ones in which people stay from 2 days to about a month. And State hospitals where people may stay for many years. There are others, of course, including forensic psych hospitals which treat the criminally insane.

Almost all psych hospitals involve locked units: only staff can come and go. Patients share rooms but are obliged to be active within the unit during the daytime. Family visits are usually in the evening. Patients attend some counseling sessions, meetings with psychiatry, group meetings, and activities. Few of them are interested in hurting the staff. The incidence of violence in the psychiatric population is less than the incidence of violence in the non-psych population.

Basically everyone on such a unit is on meds. Some are on antidepressants, the usual stuff like prozac, following suicidal thoughts or attempts. The psychotic persons are on the usual atypical antipsychotics including risperdal, zypreza, seroquel and many others. It is not uncommon for some to be on the typical (older) antipsychotics such as haldol, stelazine, and occasionally thorazine.

No experimentation takes place. That hasn't been allowed since the end of world war II. It was experimentation on american psych patients during the war that led to the discovery of psych meds.

The movies and TV shows are all crap with regard to reality. I worked at Jacobi hospital in the Bronx, NY but I have dealt with numerous other inpatient psych units in NY and NJ, including State psychiatric facilities. They are not happy places, and some are in poor condition, but they are nothing like TV/movies.

Additionally, I have worked on units that perform ECT (electro-convulsive therapy) which is usually portrayed as barbaric. In fact it is less taxing or harmful on the body of elderly psychiatric patients than psych meds are. Sometimes it brings very good results for people and it is used at dozens of units throughout the country.

I hope this helps.
