I'm looking for a 40 inch HDTV
I plan to use the TV by sending a signal to the TV on a HDMI cable. There is no attenna in the building I live in. The built-in
attenna should give me local stations. I have noticed sales on the Westinghouse 40" 1080p LCD HDTV, at other retailers
for about $300. Any idea on how I can get that low a price at Best Buy. I will need the HDMI cable as well.
I also saw an ad for his TV: Sharp - 42" Class - LCD - 1080p, for $316. I have had good luck with Sharp products in the
past. Will Best Buy match any of these deals? I recently bought a new desktop at Best Buy and it works well and was a
better deal than I could get at Dell.
Solved!

This sounds like a price match question. Without knowing all the details, it sounds like a yes for the Westinghouse, but I would encourage you to read the price match policy link here:

If all you care about is 1080p definition and an HDMI input at a $300 price point then this tv should suit your needs. (As a bonus it has 120Hz refresh for smoother action scenes.)http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Westinghouse+-+40%26%2334%3B+Class+-+LCD+-+1080p+-+120Hz+-+HDTV/5772998....

Which Graphics Card for a 40 inch HDTV LCD or Plasma Monitor for the best
Which Graphics Card for a 40 inch HDTV LCD or Plasma Monitor for the best value and price?
Hi, I was wondering if I replace my current standard graphics card for a MacPro Early 2008 for a graphics card for a 40" HDTV, which was is the best for the price and value? My current card when used with such a large monitor/ TV isn't very good, I think? So thinking of updating...This sounds like a price match question.

Looking for a suitable "long" USB 3.0 Y splitter that fits 15 inch retina.
Hello,
The Macbook Pro retina has it's two USB ports on opposite sides of the keyboard. I wanted to use a USB 3.0 Y splitter cable, but the only ones I can find have a rather short Y split - probably as USB ports are usually situated beside each other. But for the 15 inch retina, the Y split cable length needs to be 20 inches or 50cm long - otherwise both ends cannot be plugged in at the same time.
Does anyone know of any source for a Y split USB 3.0 cable with a long Y split? I live in Europe (UK).
My reasons for wanting this:
I have a Seagate Desktop USB 3.0 hard drive dock which runs from mains power and USB 3.0. The hard drive sits on a small "dock" and is removable. The dock has a normal SATA connection for the hard drive and USB 3.0 plus power at the rear.
I wish to plug in an SSD drive instead of the drive it comes with (3TB desktop size). I have tried this and it works really well, and it is much much faster.
However I want to use this in a field situation where I need the SSD for speed but will not have access to mains power. So I wanted to try and run the dock using USB 3.0 power only. It does not power up using only it's supplied USB 3.0 cable, but I wanted to try a splitter Y cable and see if the power from 2 USB 3.0 ports would work.
I have tried this technique with the Seagate Thunderbolt desktop, but it will not run with just the thunderbolt cable - even with only an SSD connected.
I had success using SSDs with the Seagate GoFlex Thunderbolt (which is bus powered only), however I wanted to use larger SSDs i.e 1TB and had read that this device had trouble proving enough power consistantly.
Before I purchase an expensive 1TB SSD I wanted to see if I could power up the dock using USB 3.0 alone.
Thanks for any help :-)Thanks for you suggestion Gnomish8.
However this hub would only plug into one of the MacBook's USB ports. Therefore it would not provide any extra power. I need the extra power (hopefully provided) by plugging into both USB ports at the same time. -
Looking for a little more info on Playstation 3 on Apple 20" display
Sorry to ask for more info on this. I did find some other threads, but looking for a bit more direction.
First, let me say I have a bunch of old tube TV's and am looking to purchase a Playstation 3. Using Playstation 3 on a tube TV seems kind of stupid, especially when I have a great LCD monitor sitting right on my desktop.
I looked at solution from Elgato. However they said they are not making any more units and when it sells out it is gone. So I am a little weary of purchasing something that may no longer be supported. Their solution does provide video capture and DVR capabilities as well, which I could also use.
Other then that, I am wondering if there are any other solutions that people could recommend. I do plan on buying a LCD or Plasma TV in the near future, but until then, I would like to purchase a Playstation 3. Just looking for any advice of any kind from others. Thanks.I have the same 20 inch Apple Display. If you have the newer DVI right?
if so HDMI to DVI will not work well EyeTV from Elgato is still in the Mac store near me I have the 200 FireWire you want the 250 USB2 to do live. I have had the 200 FW for three years it is great.
Having said that I did buy The Mitsubishi LCD LT-46231 : 46"
1080p LCD Flat Panel HDTV ($4,600)
I love it for computer use it was made for it. The HDTV is so good with cable and better with Blue-Ray which your PS3 has!
http://www.mitsubishi-tv.com/j/i/18326/TelevisionDetails/LT46231.html?cid=377
I would if you don't want to spend allot on a 1080p LCD (being more then 2k) The Mitsubishi LT-37131 LCD Flat Panel HDTV ($1,699) . Sony & Samsung both are the same LCD. Mitsubishi is better then Samsung/Sony allot better when used with a computer (it is the only new LCD maker that has a VGA & DVI port just for Computers)
Both of the Mitsubishi Link's you will like as one is a money saver.

Powerbook Titanium user looking for advice on MacBook Pro
Hello, all,
After almost 10 years of faithful service, I'm afraid that my 15" TiBook is showing signs of age and may soon need replacing. For financial reasons, I can't spring for a brand-new, top-of-the-line MBP, and I was wondering if you had any advice about what I should look for in a reconditioned model from the AppleStore. Aside from basic functions like emails and web, I'd be using it primarily for the Adobe Creative Suite (no animation or any really heavy stuff) and for watching DVDs when away from home. How do you feel about the glossy screens, for example? On the French AppleStore, there are a couple of MBPs from early 2011, but I'd seen that there were concerns with the temperature/fan noises… I realize that almost anything I may buy now will be light years faster and more powerful than the 667 Mhz that I have now, but I'd like for the replacement machine to be as impervious to ageing as the PB has been.
Any and all advice would be most welcome.
Thanks for reading.My suggestion since you prefer to maximize your computers lifespan is to get either the new:
1: High res, anti-glare 15" 2.2 Ghz or above
2: High res, anti-glare 17" 2.2 Ghz or above.
(The 13" MacBook Pro is integrated graphics, the 15" 2.0 has a dedicated graphics card that is as weak as the integrated graphics. Both are very poor choices for the long term.)
The two models I've mentioned have the top of the line i7 Quad cores that simply blow the dual cores away in every way possible. The 1GB Radeon 6750M GPU is a monster video card that will satisfy ANY need you have for a long time.
If your trying to save money and going for a used dual core i5, your doing yourself a great disservice because those machines are soon destined for the scrap heap.
I opted for the anti-glare because with a laptop it's a necessity unless you live in a basement or a cave.
The glossy forces you to seek dark locations to see the screen because it reflects dam near everything, even your face.
Some people say to get a aftermarket anti-glare film, but those are expensive, they dry out, peal and bubble, not very nice looking and need occassional replacement.
You will not give a flying ratts *ss four days later if you don't have a snazzy black bezel, your going to want to use the machine as intended in nearly any location. The matching case bezel is just wonderful and the new anti-glare (not ugly matte like before) screen is of a higher quality, looks fantastic being able to see every inch of the screen all the time.
You can do a Google image search for "Mac glossy anti-glare" and get hundreds of pictures for your decision making process.
The new machines are easily opened up to add more RAM or switch out the hard drive with a 00 micro-phillips screwdriver and a plastic compartmentalized holder to place the screws in order so the right ones go into the right holes. Won't void your warranty as long as you don't do any damage. Don't strip the screws.
Do get AppleCare and a good case, even a MacTruck.
Use the keyboard and trackpad as little as possible, use a wired or wireless instead to keep the wear off the machine.
Keep the keyboard area covered and away from food/liquids, it gets behind the keys easily and will fry it.
If you use the keyboard and trackpad, take off any jewelry and use a pad protector as you'll wear the case and 3 years from now it will look ugly as sin.
Snow Leopard is a great OS, Apple plans on major changes in the next one to make OS X look like a iPad, you might not like it. The grumbling has already started.
So get a Snow Leopard machine now with the iLife on the installer disks while you have a chance, a few weeks from now you might not have that option as all new machines will be forced into Lion. -
I'd like to replace my hard drive. How do I know what to buy for my 15-inch early 2008 MacBook Pro?
I am out of room on my hard drive. I'd like to get a new hard drive and restore my data to the new drive from Time Machine. How do I know what kind of hard drive to buy for my 15-inch, early 2008 MacBook Pro? Also, how hard is this to do?
I have changed HDDs several times on the old MBP. Currently it has a Hitachi 500 GB HDD that came out of my new one. My adage is that one cannot have too much storage and I think that the 1TB HDD is an excellent choice. Not only do you get generous capacity, the performance should be (theoretically) comparable to a 750 GB 7200 rpm HDD. I will be very surprised if there are compatibility problems.
If you bought the HDD from OWC, you should have received Installation instructions. If not, go to the OWC website and look at the video. I actually downloaded it so that I could hand write the instructions down step by step. Also check out iFixit website. They have step by step instructions that may prove to be useful.
Tools you need: 00 Phillips and #6 Torx Drivers (get good ones). The instructions make mention of a plastic pry bar (spudger). I use a stiff piece of plastic like a credit card.
Tips to keep in mind: Get a large open table space and place a large clean towel on it. That will protect your MBP and when you drop a screw (and you will) it will not bounce far so you will not have to spend an hour looking for it.
As you take out a set of screws, keep them together (I use wide masking tape. The little screws will stick to it.)
Keep the sets in sequence. That will make reassembly much, much easier.
The most difficult steps are removing the keyboard from the MBP body and removing the ribbon cable from the mother board. In case of the former, work from the back (the display) to the front. You will initially have to pry it up and then do a lot of jiggling to remove it. Don't be too timid about it. At the end of the ribbon cable there is a rectangular connector. Use your credit card to remove it. Just pry it off.
The #6 Torx driver is used to take off the 4 mounting pins on the HDD and if I remember correctly there is another place where it is needed, specifically in the battery compartment ( I think). If the instructions don't say so, keep that in mind and inspect the screw before you select the driver.
Good luck and make sure that you don't have parts left over.
Ciao. -
Looking for note taking software to use with a graphics tablet
Hello folks,
I am trying to find a software that would allow me to interchangably use typing and writing/drawing on a graphics tablet smoothly.
I'm looking for something that would essentially provide a 'blank sheet of lined-paper' where i can quickly type what my professors are saying, as well as easily draw whatever they are drawing. Also, since I am studying engineering, I would need something that I can easily write math symbols and equations so I can use it as scratch paper.
At the same time, I am looking to save trees and money, as well as keep organized and simplicity when it comes to archiving.
I have tried Microsoft Word 2008's notebook view, and this is currently the closest thing to what I want, but it favors mostly the text side of what I want (of course), and isn't very good in the drawing part. It also isn't very smooth when I try to do practice math/physics/engineering problems on it, nor is it very good at drawing molecular structures (O-Chem)... but for the most part, it gets the job done. It is also a headache because when you zoom in a lot to make it easier to write (mind you, I am using a tiny macbook screen..), the title bar also zooms in, and ends up taking half of the screen, making zooming in practically useless. (the title bar is also locked, so even as you scroll down, it stays in the top half.)
I have also tried Adobe Acrobat Professional 7, where I simply made a blank notebook from some image online, and I use it as scratch paper. When it comes to drawing, it is very smooth, but it's a headache sometimes, because after writing something and pausing for a second or two, the pen tool automatically becomes a 'selector' tool, and so if i want to draw over what I previously wrote, it changes to selector and instead of writing over, it drags and drops the object around a bit. The tolerance for that is really high too, and i'd have to bring the pointer about half an inch or so before I can start writing something again. I also haven't given the text a try yet, but it lets me make collapseable text boxes, so that is good for further annotating my equations and drawings, but isn't very useful for a full-lecture class (i.e. biology)
I also don't even want to consider photoshop, because it's basically too powerful, and I don't want my laptop fans going off in-class (its SUPER loud when it happens...) and I need it to last the day.
So just a sum up:
I'm looking for a good note-taking software (for mac) that will allow me to smoothly use my graphics tablet AND be able to type.
MS Word '08 and Adobe Acrobat are close... but aren't quite to what I want exactly...
I have a Wacom Bamboo tablet and an '09 Intel-based MacBook.
Thank you in advance!I have had this same issue and found this program called NoteBook that allows you to type, and draw (write) notes on a variety of paper types, (lined, graphing, engineering,etc.) and it uses the .nb file type that allows you to save multiple "pages" inside one file in a sort-of "notebook" if you will. It works great, but has several minor disadvantages. I can't change the ink color, I can't change the tip thickness (other than the pressure sensitive option with my wacom graphics tablet), and it doesn't allow you to open pdfs or other documents to inscribe upon. All around though it has been wonderful. There are really no good note taking apps out there...

Looking for some advice dealing with Kernel Panics
Hi there! I'm looking for some help regarding constant kernel panics I've been getting on my machine. It has been happening pretty regularly for the last month or so, occuring sometimes three times in one day and other times none. I've been looking to see what might cause the issue and have thus far come up emptyhanded. I can't think of anything I've modified recently that would be causing the issue. I performed a hardware test using AHT and no errors were found. I've included both the most recent report from the panic as well as the EtreCheck report. Any and all advice is appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

The problem is likely due to the discreet GPU failing. Download gfxCardStatus 2.3 and use it to disable the GPU. This is a temporary workaround until you get your motherboard replaced.
Possible other causes are the software that installed these:
com.splashtop.driver.SRXFrameBufferConnector 1.5
com.avatron.AVExFramebuffer 1.7
com.splashtop.driver.SRXDisplayCard 1.5
com.avatron.AVExVideo 1.7
Now they may be causing panics because the try to use acceleration in the GPU which leads to the panics. You are unlucky to have a particular model that has a real problem with this. -
Looking for a desktop replacement, how will this one fare?

How will this stand up to some moderate to heavy editing? I am new to the video editing world, coming from music production. I would mostly like to make simple youtube videos for man on the street stuff and work my way up to documentaries and the like, maybe around 45 mins in length or so with lots of graphics and stock footage. Will this be a good bargain for what I am looking for? I would rather it be overkill than get invested in the process of editing only to find out my computer cant cut it...
Thanks a lot you guys I am always learning more when I come here!BTW...this is something I did recently which got me on this kick. I did it on my brothers Dell. I think it was a 17R if im not mistaken. It took it pretty well and rendering was about 2 hours for this 22min clip which is longer than I would have liked. But I didnt do any color correction or get to heavy into it, I was just learning the lay of the land for Pp.
I will mainly be using AVCHD full 1080p from my Canon Vixia M500 and 1080p from my GoPro Hero 3 Black if that makes any difference...Thanks!
heres the clip.

Hi again. I'm looking for a screen to go with my 21.5 Inch iMac. This would be mainly used for gaming with my Xbox 360 however I would use it with my Mac as well. It also needs to be height adjustable so that I can align it perfectly with my Mac.
So I'm looking for a 21.5 inch height adjustable gaming monitor, that's under £200. It needs to have a 1ms response time and generally have good specs for gaming.
Help would be greatly appreciated! :)check out dell, asus and acer they all got various models that will work

Looking for suggestions for a new display: What size, resolution and refresh is recommended?
I've been using my laptop display, 15.6" and its just too small. I figured I'd purchase a display to plug into the laptop. I'd like suggestion on specs. I figured a 20 to 23 inch would work ok but I've seen some folks with dual screens. Lastly, I have no understanding of resoution, refresh rates to look for or brands to either look at or stay away from.
Any help would be great.
Thanks.The good news is that you don't need to worry too much about the specs -- just about any monitor you purchase will be OK. First choose a size that fits in you work area, then pick the monitor from that range of products that has the highest resolution and refresh rates -- the monitors will all have very similar specs.
I've been using PCConnection
http://www.pcconnection.com/
as my primary source for computer purchases for over 12 years and highly recommend it. They have user's comments for most of their products, so you can get a feel for the satisfaction level of the products.
I've never understood the value of having dual monitors, unless one needs to have a couple of real-time monitoring apps open at the same time for instant feedback about the data....

What to look for in an external monitor
I am in the process of changing my editing system to handle hd. I am using a 24" imac 2.4 Intel Core 2 Duo. With my sd set up I used a Sony dv/dvcam deck and a JVC professional 13" Monitor. I am purchasing the new JVC gy-hm100u camcorder when it is released in April. I am somewhat confused about having an external monitor hooked up to my system for viewing my FCP projects. (1) What should I look for in the external monitor. Do I want a computer monitor or an HD TV? Once I purchase the external monitor/tv can I get rid of my SD JVC monitor all together. I don't want to spend a lot but I want to make sure I get a monitor with the right specs. (2) What happens if I want to use past dv footage in a new project shot in hd. I do a lot of corporate projects which require the use of old interviews as part of the new productions. Am I going to have an issue doing this? Thanks in advance for any help.
Message was edited by: Erik SeelTo view HD variants, you'll need a 3rd party card.
You are severely limited with an iMac. Your only real choice is a Matrox MXO driving a 24" Dell or older 23" Apple Cinema Display.
While you can use an AJA ioHD to drive a HDTV, you'll need to connect it via FW800. This is a problem as no other devices can be on the same bus and, since all firewire ports on an iMac are on the same bus, it won't work.
I would not dispose of the Standard Def monitor. If you work with SD material, you'll still need it. HDtvs are lousy devices for monitoring SD.

Looking for a Hard Case/Shell for my new Retina MacBook Pro 15"?
I am looking to buy a shell/case for my rMBP (October 2013) it hasn't arrived yet, but obviously I want it to be protected asap.
I don't know what the model number is, but it is the lower spec 15" Retina MacBook Pro that I have purchased. How can I make sure that a case I buy will fit?
Will any 15" rMBP case fit, or has the size changed for this upgrade?
I am looking for either a black/clear, shell/case that will attach to the back of the lid to protect it. I am looking on eBay at the moment, as I have a voucher to spend on there anyway. Can someone recommend a shop/seller or a particular product?
I am in the UK, so I would obviously prefer to buy from a local seller.
Thanks!I purchased the Hardshell Case for 13-inch MacBook. It offers a durable hardcase construction that securely covers your notebook. It provides a frosted hardshell exterior, soft-touch coating, raised rubber feet, thermal vents, and trouble-free access to all features.
Features
Excellent notebook protection
Exterior rubberized soft-touch coating
Precise cut-outs for access to magnetic power cable, headphone and microphone input jacks, CD-ROM drive, battery level check button, and all side ports
Vents and rubber feet elevate notebook from surface, allowing notebook's internal fans to circulate air more freely
Simple to use and easy to clean
I really love it. My friend has dropped their macbook (the case was on) on the concrete and nothing happened to the computer.
Hope this helps you. -
Looking to buy a refurbished MacBook Pro for video editing. Need suggestions on what to look for.
Hey Everyone,
I already own a 2012 Mac Pro Desktop. I do some pretty advanced video editing on it, using FCPX and After Effects, with FXFactory and many other plugins.
I need to invest in a MacBook Pro so I can transfer my projects and edit at different locations.
I'm looking for a refurbished or used model to save some money where I can.
My budget is not too large, but I can probably manage $1,000 - $1,500
Can anyone suggest a good model (im guessing 2011-2012) and a good graphics card to look for, so it can handle this type of stuff. I will obviously max out my RAM also.
Thank you so much for all the suggestions in advance!!Hey BobRzand OGELTHORPE
Thanks for your reply! BobRzJust looking to clarify.. When you said "Also, that's typically not on the 13" models but is on the 15" (or the 17..." were you referring to the onboard graphics memory? Should I stay away from a 13 inch? I'm going to follow OGELTHORP''sadvice and go for the 2011 model. The 13 inch are the most affordable and I've found ones with a 2.8GHz Processor that is right in my price range. Thanks again for your help guys!
