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!

Joe01880 - Being a new customer as of last October, I have never seen anything other than IMG 1.6. My understanding from other posts is that before IMG 1.6, the SD PQ on an HD box was just fine. I'm not sure what the complaints/gripes/begs were for IMG 1.6 but it seems to me that, if Verizon knows what changes were made, it should be straightforward to determine which changes caused a deterioration of the PQ. I think it's been at least 6 months since the first complaints of poor PQ, so I don't really see how anyone can claim that Verizon is in danger of "rushing" an update to address this problem. I also don't think that a forum topic, no matter how much it complains or gripes, will cause Verizon to rush. I am much more worried that during a large portion of my 2 year contract that the issue won't be addressed at all, so I'm happy to add my voice to those complaining."

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.

LCD/HDTV help for a newbie

I am a longtime BB customer and am finally taking the HDTV plunge. I have narrowed it down a bit to the Insignia NS-L37Q (32" is too small, 40" is too big) versus a Dynex DX-37L150A11. I am not a cinephile so the basic features are fine with me and the price is right (I am a cheapskate). It is a 37", 1080p LCD HDTV. This is for basic TV, sports, DVD viewing. Please indulge a few newbie questions.
1) The one small reservation I have is the Insignia's native contrast ratio at 1400:1 and brightness 500/cd/m2. Should I be concerned that it isn't high enough? I note the Dynex 37" in the same price range is 4000:1 but 450/cd/m2.
2) I have DISH satellite but may switch to DirectTV but assume both are similar. I assume I'll need a special HDTV box from them, correct? And HDMI cable to connect from box to set?
3) I have never bought a service plan in my life but am considering one for this. The Insignia already comes with a 2 year warrenty and this extends it to 4 as I understand it. Is $89 on a $549 LCD worth it? I'll be ticked if a pixel goes out in the middle of the screen, but does "burn in" still even happen on these units?
4) I run the DVD player through my stereo currently (because I am too cheap to buy home theatre sound) so would I just hook that up the same way through the audio inputs? I understand it won't be digital or anything.
5) It has 3:2 inverse pulldown. Is that good and why should I care?
Any help from the experts here is greatly appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I would recommend the Insignia, as both are Best Buy house brands but I've noticed better image quality and reliability with the Insignia's as opposed to the Dynex tv's.
1) While the Dynex has the better contrast ratio, the difference between 1400:1 and 4000:1 is not very staggering. Disregard this comparison.
2) Yes you will need a set-top-box from DirecTV, fortunately you can pick these boxes up at the store and can subscribe to your DirecTV account while you shop.
3) $89 for 2 years of peace of mind on an LCD tv is worth it, though I don't think it extends the contract to 4 years, rather, the service plan covers "normal wear and tear/heating issues/power surges", whereas the standard 2 year warranty only covers manufacturer's defective parts and labor. $89 is fair, cheapskate or not.
4) Your DVD player setup will work fine, but consider getting a blu ray for next Christmas, you'll thank me later.
5) Don't worry about this.
I don't claim to be an expert, but I am an enthusiast, so any "experts" out there feel free to chime in and correct me if I may be wrong.

Macbook to 1080p LCD

I just purchased a 1080p LCD HDTV. I was wondering the best way to connect my macbook to it? thanks!!!

Hi, such a cable may not exist directly, but if you use a mini-DVI to DVI adapter, there are DVI to HDMI cables available. I got one on Radio Shack clearance not too long ago. Your mileage with it may vary. Good luck.
Additionally, Monster Cables makes a very nice mini-DVI to S-Video cable that worked for me like a charm.

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)

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.

Insignia 39" 1080p LED LCD HDTV

I bought an Insignia 39" LED LCD HDTV on line last month & I love it. It comes in crystal clear & it was cheap for a almost 40" HDTV. It was, at the time, $259.99 on line last month. With shipping, handling & taxes it came to $330.00 about. Very cheap compared to more expensive name brands. I like it & it was a good deal. Thanx again Best Buy. You guys are great when it comes to electronics, appliances, PC's, & HDTV's...

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.

Connecting a Mac Pro to an LCD HDTV

It seems that LCD monitors don't come as big as LCD TV's, and I want to use my Mac Pro to watch movies and gaming. A Samsung 35T (30") costs around 1200$ where a 46" lcd HDTV costs about the same price. There is a card you can buy for the Mac Pro which allows you to connect a TV to it through HDMI for the best quality possible: http://www.decklink.com/products/intensity/ (yeah $250 bucks)
What's my best option for an LCD around the $1000-$1500 range that is good for normal day use, gaming and watching movies. Thanks in advance for any suggestions, advice.

Since I can't afford to go out and buy several TVs to try them out is there a list somewhere that can confirm what large screen LCDs (40-50-60") do work with the Mac Pro?
Take your MacBook, a Mini-DVI to DVI adapter
<http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9321G/B?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=MTI1Njk>
a DVI to HDMI cable
<http://store.apple.com/us/product/TR842LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDA3Ng&mco=MTUwODQxMw>
and a DVI-D (M) to DVD-D (M) cable to the TV store and try various sets. If they won't let you try them, go to another store.
Find a DVI or HDMI port on the TV that supports 1080p and connect it to the MacBook.
In the "Arrangement" tab of "Displays" system preference, turn off Mirroring. Set the resolution of the external display to 1920 x 1080 non-interlaced. Make sure there is no overscan (the pointer should not go off the edges of the screen). In the "Arrangement" tab of "Displays" system preference, drag the picture of the menu bar (aim carefully, so you get just the menu bar, not the whole display) to the picture of the external display. Make sure the entire menu bar and dock show on the TV.
If a TV works well on the MacBook's DVI port, it will work with a Mac Pro.

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.

Connecting to an LCD HDTV: DVI to HDMI male or female?

Unwilling to plunk down $40 at Best Buy I bought a cable advertised on eBay for $2 described as HDMI male to DVI male. However, when I got it, it turned out to be DVI male to HDMI FEMALE.
I want to be able to use my LCD HDTV (46" Sharp Aquos, 1080p, if it matters) as a monitor, hopefully to even and edit text using my wireless keyboard and mouse.
Do I have the right cable?

you'll need a male DVI to male HDMI To connect to your HDTV. You'll find good cable prices at monoprice.com , only place I buy cables. My mini is hooked up to my Aquos too and it looks great.

Sharp 32" LCD HDTV or should we go with Samsung LCD HDTV?

Hi-
I'd like some opinions please.
We are in the market for a 32" flat screen tv - our first- and we cannot decide between the Samsung 32" 1080p Flat Panel LCD HDTV or the Sharp-AQUOS 32" 1080p Flat Panel LCD HDTV?
Consumer Reports has not yet rated the Sharp per my brother but he said Samsung ranked #1.
Any thoughts out there?
Thanks-
Peanut

THAT I find surprising, especially considered that 5-6 years ago Sharp commanded something like 60-70% of the OEM LCD panel market. That is, they were the original manufacturer of the screens used in products branded by a LOT of other people - they didn't sell very much under their own name. I am positive that not too long ago they were the #1 or #2 manufacturer of LCD panels (not fully assembled units, but the source of panels to other manufacturers) in the world.
Similarly, I'd be extremely shocked for Sharp to be using another manufacturer's "B" screens when Sharp manufactures their own panels.
Also, Korean companies like Samsung have historically had a worse quality track record than Japanese companies like Sharp, although recently (the past 5-10 years), the Korean companies have made SIGNIFICANT improvements in quality control.

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??
