HDtv Information and Reviews
all hdmi cables are basically the same. they tell people that the more expensive ones are better and what not but that isnt necessarily true. if you buy one with gold then woo hoo good for you. its not gonna be different. the main think you need to look for is the thickness of it. the thicker it is the less resistance there will be therefore giving you a better picture and better quality sound.
Where can i find cheap hdtv sony tvs preferably 42 inches
I get a blue box popping up in top right corner of the TV Screen showing Cable - Analog when the audio changes from mono to stereo any way to fix this
The only reason that blue box is popping in and out is if the signal is weak....
Those are DIGITAL TV channels and you may have a bad DIGITAL TUNER...
it looks kinda fuzzy can someone give me suggestions please!
Just because your tv supports 1080p doesn't mean every video source your watching does. Unless you are using a Bluray or HDDVD drive to play movies you are probably not watching true 1080p. Some dvd players claim they upconvert movies to 1080p which helps but still isn't true HD. Most HD channels are in 720p or 1080i and I haven't heard of any that are true hd (1080p). And as far as stantdard definition goes it will seem blurry because the large size and high resolution of the new tv shows all of the errors in the low quality signal.
When I turn on the power, the TV sqeaks off and on a couple times like a mouse, while the power botton blinks. After it sqeaks and blinks about 3 or 4 times it stops then nothing else happens. Any suggestions?
The TV is "attempting" to power up, and it senses too much current or too high of a voltage.....that's why it tries 3 times then shuts off completely....It's the way RCA designed their power supplies, it protects itself by shutting down after testing/failing 3 times in a row....
Since I have always remembered, Sony has always been one of the Best TV's to Own. And now they are the #1 Best (And most expensive).
Here are some other issues I have noticed that started at the same time the sound went out. I can no longer receive Analog Television broadcast only HD. My external video inputs, occasionally drop, i.e. dvd player and XBOX. What happens is the screen goes black on these input channels without any evident cause HD TV channels still work. They return just as sporadically. One other really odd thing is that the audio for HD television broadcasts still comes through the headphone output, albeit quite faintly, but not for external video devices. I have spoken with Philips Customer Support and they were convinced that it was a software issue, but I have upgraded to the most current version to no avail. I do not have cable and receive my HD signals via antenna. I don't want to call a service person if I don't have to, and from what I can determine with Philips products it may do no good any way.
I am on the market to purchase an LCD and did my research. It is unbelievable how many complaints are up on Phillips LCD TV's. I was actually looking to get a Philip's LCD but wow I am glad I made my research. Good luck !
Hello, I was wondering as to what a consumer should do now that new HDTV technology such as the laser and OLED TVs are soon to arrive. I saw Sony 27" tv with a 1Meg:1 Contrast ratio and Mitsubishi's Laser TV technology which according to an article will be released at the end of this year. According to the article this new tech could replace plasmas and LCDs. I know the price might be high for this new tech but I would like to get some input on this issue. Thank you.
i think you should not wait for a better technology only if what you have now is worth scrap and not useful at all
I only get QAM channels. Autoprogram only picks up 312 digital channels (maybe 12 of them show up) and no analog channels at all. The TV is connected directly with the coaxial cable from the wall.
A QAM tuner will only pick-up digital cable channels. An NTSC tuner will pick-up the analog cable channels. Does your TV have a separate coaxial NTSC input? If it does, then you have to use a splitter on the cable so you can feed both inputs.
Surge protection is only one aspect of protecting your equipment AND getting the best possible picture. "Dirty" power (small surges and dips in power that a surge suppressor won't even trip on) will result in less that optimal video quality. What you REALLY want it a Power Conditioner - it will have surge protection built-in. I use one from APC. Monster makes some... so do Belkin and Furman. Prices start at around $300 and go up depending on the size of the capacitor in the unit, and the various "stages" of power conditioning and power filtering it performs.
Hi,
I primarily use my new HDTV for playing Xbox 360 and watching DVD's. My games show up looking great, and most DVD's I play look good too. However, yesterday I put in Smallville season 5 and it was pretty fuzzy, and didn't look high-def at all. Also, I used it to watch standard broadcast television, and again, it doesn't look that great. Is there any way to remedy these two problems? If it helps, here is the model I have:
It's really hard to choose one over the other without having lived with both. With the newer technologies, the proof is often not in the out-of-the-box picture quality but in the long term quality of product, including picture quality. That being said, I can't speak as to Hitachi, but I've had my 42" Panny for 3 years now and have been very happy with it. Picture is still sharp and the set is holding up well. I did have a problem with the power supply in the 3rd month I owned the TV, but Panasonic took care of it at their service center while I (actually, my wife) waited (only about 20 minutes). So, I guess I'm saying that their customer service is solid.
If I hook my my tv with composite cables I can control the volume through the DVR box but not with the HDMI cable. Why?
Composite cables are controlling analog audio, Since the HDMI cable is digital it cannot control the analog audio, hence the HDTV is the only way to adjust the volume when connected via HDMI.
I have a RADEON 2400 HD Pro video Card with HD-MI output along with a 42" Dynex LCD flat panel also with HD-MI. I get no picture and tried every option of trying to turn it on (TV), including trying to extend it. And trying to use (Force TV search) Catalyst software doesn't see it. Windows makes a *buzz* Sound when I connect the cable, so I think it recognizes it. My best guess is to install a second driver, however I cant install the same driver twice? or can you; if so how??? I tried different versions of the ATI Catalyst, none seem to aid with this. My system is XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 with Service Pack 3. I tried installing a second display driver, Though when I did I had only a few choices, none with are pure generic and they give a (!) error (It wont let me install the same one twice. (if there is a way, how???) I was hoping there was a driver for the HDTV, though where??? if that's the case. In addition, I thought it was the "Video Card" So I went return it, and got another. Both with the same problem. The ATI Catalyst Version is 2008.1201.1504.27008 / I just downloaded it AGAIN, it is the latest version. I been fighting this thing for a Week, someone out there Please help! Tech support just left me on hold for 4 hours, with no answer...please help me.
Has a option for Attached, did so, it Lights up, until I hit apply then goes back to shady again. / Same with the Catalist, I can Enable it, but then after a moment, it goes back to shady again. Im stumbed.
did you activate the 2nd video output?
