32 inch Class 720p LCD HDTV

I have only had my TV for about 8-9 months and yesterday morning, while watching my local news, I lost the audio.  I tried various channels and still nothing.  I tried shutting the TV off, thinking it would "reset", but no such luck.  I am still without audio and I have to wait 5 days before my cable provider can come in to check it.  I was nowhere near the remote or the TV, so I did not hit the mute button.  Anyone have this problem, or know what I can do?  If it is the TV and not the cable, I will be billed $65 for the visit    Thanks!

Here's a particularly relevant post if you don't want to wade through all the above links:

    Hello,
    I am trying to connect my laptop to my TV. The computer flashes blue after I plug the cable in but the TV says there is no signal.
    I have a Mac Book Pro 2009 and a Samsung 32" Class (31.5" Diag.) 450 Series 720p LCD HDTV (2010 model).
    I am using a mini display port to VGA adapter. I have sucessfully hooked up boh devices but it stopped working after a handful of times. I was wondering if there is anything I can do to fix the problem or is my cable broken?

    Some things you can try.

  • Bad Picture Quality On SD Channels With HDMI And Panasonic VIERA 720p LCD HDTV

    I just bought a new Panasonic VIERA 32" 16:9 8ms 720p LCD HDTV TC-L32X1 for my in-laws when they finally had Verizon FIOS brought into their neighborhood last month.
    Install was by the Verizon tech using the HDMI cable I also had shipped to them.
    The HD channels quality is excellent, but the SD quality is smeared -- almost looks like an impressionist painting.
    It is not the TV -- the TV menus are crystal clear, as are the HD channels.
    And, it is not just the broadcast HD -- the DVR box menus are also smeared when viewing as SD channel, as is the guide and the pop up channel info.
    We've tried all the settings on the TV -- Zoom, 4:3, etc.
    The other TV (an older CRT) actually has better SD quality than the Panasonic.
    My research indicates we're not the only ones on FIOS with this problem. Someone suggested using the component hookup rather than HDMI?
    Other say that IMG 1.7 is supposed to solve the problem, that the SD quality was fine before IMG 1.6.
    Any suggestions, solutions, or updates?
    The picture is virtually unwatchable.
    Thank you!

  • Macbook to 32-inch LCD HDTV with VGA...odd problem

    My TV is a Toshiba 32in LCD HDTV. I currently hook my Macbook up via VGA. The quality in general is superb. Picture is sharp and saturated. BUT...
    When I'm watching a movie (stored on my macbook) on the TV, a rectangular portion of the top right corner will occasionally appear to lag behind the rest of the movie by a fraction of a second. It almost looks like a "picture-in-picture," with the top right corner simply being delayed. Even more strangely, this only lasts for a moment, as the lagging section slowly shrinks until it disappears entirely. A minute or so will pass, and it will happen again.
    I've noticed that it normally happens most when there is a lot action in that corner of the frame.
    Is this some kind of refresh rate problem? I honestly am clueless. What can I do?

    My parents have a 37-inch Toshiba, I have experienced the same problem when watching movies via the Dell laptop. It happens both in VLC player and Windows Media Player, and I am using a VGA cable to connect to the TV. The problem was still there when we used an S-video cable. It sounds like it might be something about these Toshiba TVs.

  • Insignia LED-LCD HDTV Model: NS-32E570A11

    I am Handicapped & Disabled & Must be hooked up to medical experiment for 6-7 hours a day & remain in bed & awake during this time.  I purchased this TV :   Insignia  LED-LCD HDTV Model: NS-32E570A11
    after my 7 month old Dynex™ - 32" Class / 720p / 60Hz D/ LCD HDTV DVD Combo 
    Model:DX-32LD150A11  refused to hold & recognize in it's memory HD channels. Guess I should have read the posts from other Dynex users, cuz there are a lot of problems with Dynex. 
    Even one of the Managers at my Best Buy store told me that her Dynex same exact TV did the exact same thing.   I am hoping that once repair is done that I will get a  "RA" number so I can get some of my money back on this insignia TV. 
    I do not See any difference with the Insigna TV & it is not as clear at home as it was in the store.  
    I have Time Warner cable with extended basic cable & within the last 6 months TWC had installed much larger cables underground & the cable is not the problem.  
    I did notice that in the store they only had very few channels.   Do they "Tweak" the channels in the store &/or power them differently to get sharper clearer images?? 
    I am ready to take the LED Insignia TV back next time I am in town as it is 26 miles each way to get to the closest store.   
    I should be able to buy a TV & not have to worry that it is going to die on me. My old  36"Toshiba with a big tube lasted 16+ years.  
    Any suggestions on "RELIABLE" LCD 32" TV's that I can afford on just my SS income??

    Stores do nothing to "tweak" channels in the store. TVs have many dozens of settings that can be changed by a user at home, and sometiems have presets to switch between certain values that the manufacturer has deemed "optimal" for certain viewing situations. If none of the preset settings offer the picture you desire, you will either need to learn how to change the settings to fit your viewing situation, or pay for a professional calibration.
    It took me almost 6 months before I got my TV settings the way that I wanted them to be, using the calibration settings on various Disney DVDs, Star Wars DVDs, and special calibration DVDs, and constantly having a critical eye for everything I watched. After all of that time and effort, my TVs are about as close to profesionally calibrated as I can get them.
    Have you had Time Warner out to the house to verify that it's not actually a cable problem? Just because they put "bigger cables" in the ground doesn't mean that the signal to your home is any better. Most cable and satellite companies compress their signal quite a bit on HD, and the quality suffers as a result.

  • Using MBP with LCD HDTV

    So I've been looking at getting a new LCD HDTV. Someone said that I needed to get a minimum of a 42'' and also at least 1080p resolution. I was going to hook this all up using the HDMI out into a DVI in the TV.
    Is this true? What are your set ups? I'm pretty anxious. I want to use this for movies but also possibly as an external monitor (I know a little ridiculous, but not all the time). Let me know guys! Thanks.

    It is easier than you think. First, get a TV with at least 2 HDMI ports. You may wish to connect the other to a HDTV DVR (cable or satellite) or even an HD-DVD/BluRay player.
    Next, measure the distance. This is critical. 1080p has TWICE as much bandwidth used as a 1080i signal.
    Now, open a new tab in your browser (Apple+T) and go to my favorite cable guys www.bluejeanscable.com I say they are my favorite as they were courteous and honest. Alan Denke, the proprietor of the business, answered truthfully when I asked if his cheapest line of DVI-HDMI cables, the Tartan series, would make it at 50 feet. He asked what kind of hardware I was connecting. I told him, "Well, a brand new 47-inch Vizio with 1080p native support, and a 2.4GHz MacBook Pro." It was then that he said the display didn't really matter, but the source did. And he said the MBP would work just fine.
    Cable arrived here from Oregon in one business day, though I didn't pay anything extra for it. Just plain old Priority Mail.
    It was then I learned I needed about 30 feet, rather than 50. Remember the step up there where it says ,"Measure?" Yeah, I guesstimated. I kept the cable though, thinking that some day I might use the computer in the kitchen or something.
    Now, you'll need to get appropriate playback software. Quicktime just doesn't do .ts (transport stream) files, nor does it do .mkv (Matroska Video Codek) files. It ought to, but it won't. So, no Front Row for HD playback at 1080i. There is hope on the Open Source horizon, though. Go off and open another tab to direct yourself to www.videolan.org
    The latest release even has support for the Apple Remote!
    Getting audio to your setup is a slightly different thing, but can be done with parts from (ugh) radio shag. For analog audio (which is fine for me as my system don't do any better with digital input), just get a 1/8" STEREO (will have 3 conductors [or two 'rings']) to dual RCA out. They usually have 3 and 6 foot versions of this cable. To extend, you've got 3 options: 8', 16' or 20' male to female 1/8" stereo.
    Hope this info helped. If you haven't bought your lcd tv yet, take a look at Vizio. I believe them to be the best bang for the buck out there.

  • Minidisplay Port with HDMI to LCD HDTV

    Hi,
    I am trying to set up my Macbook so I can use my LCD HDTV as a monitor while I am sitting on my couch and to run iTunes, etc.
    I can get everything to appear on the TV via the Minidisplay port HDMI connector, but the problem is that all the fonts, especially those in the browser are very small and hard to read from the couch.
    I have a 52 inch LCD TV and sit about 12 feet from it, I would think there must be a way or a setting to change to make things on the TV bigger, but I cannot figure it out.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Ben

    So is the TV being run at 1920 x 1080? Are there other options in Displays Preferences, like either 1366 x 768, or 1280 x 720? If so, have you tried those settings? That should enlarge things.

  • Philips LCD HDTV without RF Input???

    Hi - I am curious about this Philips model television:
    Philips - 55" Class / 1080p / 240Hz / LCD HDTV
    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Philips+-+55%22+Class+​/+1080p+/+240Hz+/+LCD+HDTV/1390518.p?skuId=1390518​...
    But noticed it doesn't have an RF Antenna input!  Does this mean it doesn't have a built in digital tuner?  I thought all new HDTV's had built in tuners to pick up free stations.  If I don't have cable and get this TV, will I have to buy a digital tuner too?  That seems really silly, so I hope I am missing something.
    Any information would be great.
    Thanks!
    Tom

    According to the owners manual, there is indeed an RF connector:
    http://download.p4c.philips.com/files/5/55pfl5505d​_f7/55pfl5505d_f7_dfu_aen.pdf
    Another tip-off was the V-Chip in the specifications.  A V-chip indicates it has a built in tuner.

  • Mini DVI to VGA issues w/ LCD HDTV

    I have looked all over and I can't find a solution.
    I recently purchased an LCD HDTV, Insignia Brand which is a Best Buy Brand, and I bought a DVI cable to hook up to my Powerbook G4 using the Mini DVI to VGA cable. When I hook it up to my tv it works, but the screen on my Powerbook looks magnified as does the LCD TV. When I launch Safari or any other program it doesn't fit on my screen or the LCD TV and I have to resize it.
    After I look at displays in system prefernces it says my max resolution is 1024 x 768.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Jeremy

    Just guessing - the TV's "VGA" input is limited to 1024x768, which is possible although some "VGA" inputs will work higher. Do the instructions mention a limitation like this?
    I think if you turn off mirroring on the Powerbook, at least the Powerbook screen will have normal resolution, and the TV 1024x768. The TV apparently scales up image to fill the screen unless using HDMI, where is leaves the extra 342 pixels blank on the sides (1366-1024). Perhaps the TV has a mode for adjusting how the TV handles lesser resolutions (stretch, dot-by-dot, etc)
