Insignia 39" LED 1080p 120Hz TV

Just bought and set up a 39" Insignia 1080p 120Hz LED tv. It's connected to my cable box via HDMI but the tv says the picture is 720p and 60Hz. I've tried almost every HD channel and they all say 720p. The box and manual both say the tv should be 1020p capable. What am I doing wrong?

Pretty much all TV stations only use 720p.
For OTA, FOX and ABC are 720p, NBC and CBS are 1080i.
There's a slightly out of date listing of Sat/Cable channels here, I doubt the resolutions have changed though.

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.

Black Friday Insignia 39" LED 1080p 60Hz HDTV

So this a two part question:
This is my first back Friday that I want to take part of. They're two deals that interest me. The $179 40 inch Toshiba and the insignia 39" LED....
First, for people that have experience. I am looking to hop in line around 5 am on thanksgiving. With the new hours is that too late?
Also does anyone know the black Friday price for the Insignia?

I suggest you do regular surveillance of your store. If you've got a lot of time on your hands, log off immediately and get in line/start one.

Insignia 32 LED TV and Sony STR-DH720 HDMI ARC question

I have my new Insignia 32 LED TV connected via HDMI to my new Sony STR-DH720 Home Theater AMP. When I turn on the TV it properly turns on the AM and initially sets AMP to TV input but then a few seconds later it swtiches to VIDEO 2 and then I get no sound. If I manually set the AMP back to the TV input I get good video and sound. I want it to stop switching to VIDEO 2 (where nothing is connected) and just stay on TV. Any ideas on why it is switching and how I can make it just stay on TV. The HDMI cable is connected to the correct port on the TV and the AMP.

yeah of the input from the imac to the tv will just be one of the input hdmi sources you have on your list in the sony menu
I have an Apple TV, a google chrome card, a sat box and at times wifes macbook pro I just switch between them in the bravia menu

Insignia 55inch led LCD no digital inputs.

I have an Insignia 55inch led LCD that was damaged by lightning. Now I only have coax and RCA inputs. All the HDMI inputs are inoperable. Is this worth fixing? It is out of warranty and my insurance deductible is higher than the replacement cost. Is there a Insignia repair center in Dallas Texas I can get an estimate from?

While the discussion of what is and isn't covered is moot since the OP said it's outside of warranty (assuming this means he owned it past the warranty period), I did want to point this out to bubberuchi under exclusions:
Damage to your product caused by accident (unless you have purchased the optional ADH or Advanced Coverage and it’s a covered event), abuse, neglect, intentional physical damage, misuse (including faulty installation, repair, or maintenance by anyone other than an authorized service provider), unauthorized modification, viruses and/or spyware (unless you have the Vi-Spy Coverage), performance failures due to not maintaining firmware updates, extreme environment (including extreme temperature or humidity), external condensation, mold, immersion/submersion in liquid (e.g. pool, bathtub, etc.), lightning, fire, flood, insect infestation, rodents, war, terrorism, computer software related failures, Acts of God or other external causes.
If you take the contract as a whole, it sounds like power surges are covered, as long as they are not due to lightning. This didn't make sense to me until I learned that lightning is one of the less common causes of power surges. I always thought lightning was a major cause. TIL...

LG 42" 1080p 120Hz Led HDTV

this is not a smart tv butI have a question , can I conect that TV to internet via WI-FI USB adapter only?

That'd be a negative. You've got a few options, though. If you want actual internet access, you can purchase the Sony GT1 Google TV Blu-ray player or an Apple TV.
If you just want streaming options like Netflix, Pandora, HuluPlus, etc.., you can go with pretty much any Blu-ray player, Roku boxes, Sony Streamer, WD Live, NeoTV, and other media streaming devices.

Problems using Mac Mini with a Sharp 60" led 1080p

My Mac Mini is connected to a Sharp LED 60 "and I use the VGA input but when I use 1080p resolution, then the text becomes blurred and chopped up. Why does this happen?

I don't know if this will help but doing a search I found that you have to turn sharpness off or down to 0 on the TV for the best display. I have a 40" display and it did the trick for me.

TV 40-46" 1080p 120hz with FULL internet browsing capacity

It looks like there are only 2 tv makers that allow for the full internet access (LG and Sony). I can't find a reasonably-priced sony KDL-40/46EX620 (sold out by BBuy). KDL-40/46EX720, the next model seem to be at 60 refresh rate.
How does the blu-ray work? can it allow the FULL access to the internet or is it only for connection to the pre-set locations, such as u-tube, netflix etc?
Another Q: Do I need the smart TV to watch my downloaded movies?
tnx

Let me just add some comments here that conflict with some info already provided. First of all, Sony has not reverted to cheap parts to build their TVs, and they are not as bad as suggested. However, I do agree that Samsung and LG LEDs have better quality, as do Panasonic plasmas (not their LCDs), and of course Pioneer hasn't made a TV in many years.
The reference to the problems with 120 hz was to a four year old post that was indicating problems with 24 fps film based material. Many of these problems have been alleviated in the past few years, however many people (me included) would turn this function off (which is always an option) when watching 24 fps material (such as Blu-Ray). On the other hand 120 hz does do a very good job of reducing blur and providing a sharper image for tape based material, especially beneficial for all sporting events. It is worth the extra cost.
The reference to full web browsing by some manufacturers is probably somewhat of an overstatement, however those with a built in browser can link to well over 95% of the sites that google would bring up. The most exceptions are major video providers such as ABC-TV, CBS-TV, etc. The built in browser is still a plus for these TVs, but they won't totally replace your computer.
The TVs with the browser are the higher ends of LG and Samsung (models 8000, 7000, and I think the 6900). The nice thing about the Samsung models is that they include a full QWERTY keyboard on the flip side of the remote. The Sony Google TV also has this capability, but I believe that it is overpriced and not as good quality of picture as the LG and Samsung models.

Perhaps you can provide us with some verification of your poitns? Particularly about the 120Hz. For your information, 24p interpolation is the only time if might actually do some good! So, you have it backwards. If you can provide any verification, other than from the manufacturers, that shows that it has any affect on motion blur, then post away. Hint: Flashing the same image over and over does not make it sharper, and if motion interpolation is involved, the frames created in between the 60Hz broadcast frames are artificial, and cannot be sharper than the original. SO, post away...I'll be interested...
I guess you also have not used the browers that you reference that you claim can access 95% of websites that google brings up. Startling numbers that go against both my real world experience and any testing/review/rating that I have ever known.
As far as to the quality of Sony TV's you are entitled to your opinion, but with the high return rates, the high failure rates, and the legendarily bad Sony "customer Support", anyone who knows anything will recommend against them. They *are* cheaply made. They *DO* use inferior parts. There sets *ARE NOT* competitive in picture quality to the other big name players. Even a cursory, casual comparison will veryify this.
A full QWERTY keyboard is nice, but that does nto equate to a full browser. The operative word is full....not borowser.

How to change my resolution to 1080p@120hz?

I have mac mini late 2012 and BenQ XL2420t, connected through minidisplayport -> displayport, but macos settings lets me change resolution to 1080p@100hz maximum.
Is there any way to fix this problem?

Yeah, I cant guarantee it but...
Dual-link DVI
To support display devices requiring higher video bandwidth, there is provision for a dual DVI link. A dual link doubles the number of TMDS pairs, effectively doubling video bandwidth at a given pixel clock frequency. The DVI specification mandates how the dual link may be used. All display modes that use a pixel clock below 165 MHz, and have at most 24 bits per pixel, are required to use single-link mode. All modes that require more than 24 bits per pixel, and/or 165 MHz pixel clock frequency must use dual-link mode. In modes where each pixel uses 24 bits of color data per pixel or less and dual-link mode is in use, the transmitter stripes pixel data across both links; each sequential video pixel is transmitted on alternate links. In modes with color depth greater than 24 bits per pixel, the second link carries the least significant bits of each pixel.

Insignia 32 inch 1080p LCD NS-32L450A11, computer hook up to tv not working

I hope someone here can help. I purchased this tv over a week ago and just picked up a vga cable to hook up my computer to it. My computer is a HP Pavilion a6300f and was purchased back in 2008. So it only has a DVI and VGA hookup, and I'm using the DVI for my monitor. I followed the directions in the manual to the letter, and made sure that the cables were screwed in tight, and the TV was not detecting the VGA hook up. And I've tried to do some searching for this problem, but no luck so far. If someone can help I'd really appreciate it. Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You must use the Function keys on the HP computer to extend the desktop to the TV. The TV must be on and connected when the computer boots. Use the appropriate Function key combo to cycle through the various desktop modes...You'll be able to clone your desktop to the TV, extend your desktop to the TV, or make the TV your primary video monitor.
