Looking for recommendations on 46" -52" TV

I recently bought an LCD Sony TV at costco and was very disappointed . I had adjusted all of the settings correctly but the latency in starting up and overall picture quality was fair at best when looking at fios regular TV. I am looking for recommended TV's in the 1200-2500 range but would like a nice picture . My current TV is a 1st generation Plasma 40" TV that is still working great And the service we have is Fios with HD setup box . Can anyone offer some guidance or recommendations ??

i would head over to the display section of AVSForum to read user reviews of various displays.
With the $1300 range that you have mentioned, you should have plenty of choices for your next television.
If it was me, I would start and end at plasma displays. I have friends and family with LCD's and Plasma's, and to my eye plasmas just look better.
(of course, I am still using a 720p HD-DILA (Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS), which is a rear projection) from JVC circa 2005)

New Mac user, new to Wireless - looking for recommendations on a router

Hello all! I am new to Macs, and to wireless in general. I just bought a used Powerbook which of course has wireless capability. So my next step will be to set up a router. However, I have no experience with this, and am definitely not a computer geek at heart. So I am looking for recommendations on a router/wireless network system that seems to work well with Macs (and PC's as I now have both) and doesn't require vast amounts of computer networking knowledge to set up and get working. What works well? What should be avoided? Many thanks for your input! (Oh, if it makes any difference, my internet connection is DSL.)

I would strongly recommend the AirPort Extreme. Its simple, doesn't do much but it does the job perfectly. It never drops out and the distance of the signal is far (you can be online in your back and front yard). And its really easy to setup. And it works with both systems. But I do recommend getting a new one instead of a used one because you'll need the newer version of AirPort Assistant to set it up because older version of Tiger doesn't have that programme pre-installed.

Looking for recommendations - new internal drive for MBP

Hi all,
I have a 17" MBP core 2 duo from a couple of years ago, with a 100GB 7200rpm drive. I want to swap out the drive with a new 500GB drive, still 7200rpm, so I'm looking for recommendations as to what people think are the current best of the crop. Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Antonio

I was looking for a 500GB 7200RPM drive for my MBP 15" at the end of 2008, but no one made one yet. I saw the Seagate ST9500420ASG 500GB 7200RPM 16MB BUFFER SERIAL ATA listed as coming soon on MacMall and a few other places in January 2009 and ordered it as soon as it was available.
I had done some research on power consumption and performance... Tom's Hardware had some good info on the subject. The fastest drives at the time were the 320GB 7200 RPM and 500GB 5400 RPM. If the trends I came across during my research held up, power consumption for the new Seagate shouldn't have affected my battery life too much. All my research seemed to confirm this.
Now that I have been using the drive for a few months, I can tell you that my batter life has taken a HUGE hit. I used to easily get 5 hours with my old 120 GB stock drive... now, I'm lucky if I get 2 hours. Plus, it seems that this drive gets hot enough to cause performance issues.. I'm not sure if that's the case yet, but I will be bringing my MBP into the Apple store to check on it.
At this point, I'm willing to sacrifice some speed for more battery life and a cooler running computer.
All this to say, be sure you're willing to sacrifice some battery life for the biggest and fastest drive around.

A Question and Looking for Recommendations........

First the question: We have a dLink DI-634M wireless router that is hardwired with Cat5 cable to our 17" MBP. We also have a regular MB that we connect wirelessly. And also a Dell Inspiron that we connect wirelessly through the DI-634M. Our problem is that after periods of non-use, we lose our internet connection. It's easily restored by removing the power from the DI-634M and then plugging the power back in. But it's a pain in the butt. Any suggestions as to how to prevent this from happening?
Looking for recommendations: I'm thinking I'd like to get another wireless router anyway. Something in the new N band or whatever it's called. But the main reason is to be able to wirelessly connect external hard drives and printers to the router. Most especially the external hard drives. We've got a little LaCie 160 gig Porsche drive that we use to backup the small MB. Right now I have to make the hard wire connection and do the backup manually. But if we had access to the hard drive wirelessly, I could schedule regular backups for the small MB. So......what wireless routers can you guys recommend? Brand? Model? Which have the least problems? Etc., etc.......
Thanks bunches!

Hi,
I don't think I can offer a solution, but I do have a similar problem with my router (supplied with my Sky broadband set-up). It's a Netgear router with 4 outputs. Until a few minutes ago, it was lying on my desk horizontally, but after attaching 2 plastic legs, it now stands vertically. I'm hoping this solves the overheating, as it is left switched on constantly (which probably contributes to the fact that I too have to 're-boot' it from time to time when I lose my Broadband connection).
Hope this helps.

I'd like to use the categories from my outlook contacts, i'm looking for recommended applications

i'd like to use the categories from my outlook contacts, i'm looking for recommended applications?

There is a third party I tried it. Didn't work for me because they wanted me to sync my contacts on their cloud. It doesn't work with USB Sync. But if you want to try it here:

Best would be if Apple adds the feature and supports the categories!!!

Looking for recommendations - iCal substitution (different calendar or task manager app)

Hello everyone,
for some time I'm looking for iCal substitution/replacement. I'm looking for a multiplatform solution (idealy OS X / iOS / Win). I'm a head of small team (5 subordinates) and iCal no longer suits me.
I'm looking for a task manager or different calendar application where I would be able to manage all the tasks my team has. So far I have found application Wunderlist, which is very close to what I want (basic version is free, it works on OS X / iOS / Win and synces through their servers) but it misses some crucial options (monthly view for example).
Also I do not want to and will not use any Google service.
Thanks for any recommendations!

Looking for recommendations...

We are looking to upgrade our Exchange setup from 2007, at present the senior people want to go to 2010 whereas the tech staff want to go to 2013. However, we do not have any experience in Exchange upgrades so we are looking for a consultant to assist us
in the planning stage. Does anyone have a recommendation for a person or company in the Omaha area they know of or have used?

Hi,
I recommend you upgrade to exchange 2013 directly.
Compare with exchange 2010,exchange 2013 has more benefits.
Please refer to the following article to understand more details:

Hope this helps!

The best CC's for all the different categories. Giving and looking for recommendations.

Hopefully this will help others just as much as it'll help me. I'm looking to add one or two more CC's (maybe more, you know how it is =P) to my wallet soon to end up with a total of 4-5 maybe 6 CC's. I currently have a Sears store card $6k, QS1 $9k, and DCU Platinum $15k. I'm trying to cover all my bases to round out my wallet for best savings, utilization, and earnings... 1) Low APR: I already have my low APR CC in case i need to carry a balance - DCU Platinum Visa with a 8.5% APR. It was super easy to qualify for. The instantly approved me when i applied for my auto loan. They offered a $5k limit, i told them i needed a $20k limit, the countered with a $15k limit.2) Everyday Cash Rewards: I already have an everyday cash rewards CC for more of my spending - QuicksilverOne which is of course 1.5% cash back on everything (I plan to PC to Quicksilver with no AF or maybe get a JCB Marukai [3% cash back but really low credit limit] or Citi Double Cash [2% cash back})3) Gas Rewards: I need a gas rewards card since i work in the auto industry and i spend a lot on gas. Considering a Sallie May MasterCard for the 5% cash back on the first $250 of gas. Only thing about that is i spend much more than $250 on gas a month. What else would you folks recommend?4) Super High Limit: I'm also looking for an easily attainable super high limit CC. There's been talk about Lowes offering credit lines in the $30k+ range.5) Rotating Rewards: Looking for a rotating rewards card. I'll probably apply for a Discover IT card since i have good history with them, paid on time and in full and closed account years ago. Some people advise to get two rotating rewards cards, so maybe Chase Freedom?6) "Baller Status": Maybe looking for the "baller status" card eventually but this is less of a priority for me. Maybe Chase Sapphire Preferred or Amex Gold or Platinum? CSP is made of metal and looks nice. Amex seems to cater to the upper percentile. Any suggestions to consider? Other categories i may have missed?

Discover IT is much nicer than Freedom IMO, on a cash back basis (without a CSP). Broader categories. You don't really need both unless you want both, because they are very similar throughout the year albeit at different times. General spend, well QS and DC are really not terribly different. If you have the QS, no reason to really rush and upgrade to a DC unless your uncategorized spend is very large as the difference is not going to be great. As far as gas yes the Sallie is an option for 5% up to 250, then you could have a second card like BCP or Cash Rewards, etc for 3% on the remaining gas spend. BCP does have an AF though. "Amex catering to the upper pecentile" is just a mere stereotype. They aren't any more high end than any other issuer. Point is, if you aren't really interested in their products, getting an Amex just to have an Amex is not necessary. As for CSP, run the numbers. Takes a good deal of spend to justify the fee. This +1 Couldn't agree more! Unless you are a churner, which if you are, you better get that CSP/Freedom ASAP.... I will say as much as I hate chase bank, you could wait for the freedom to have the $200 sign up bonus, and double app for the CSP. This would net you 60k UR points which are slightly more versatile than Amex MR points. Then you can earn 5% rotating, dont take cash, send points to CSP, then xfer those to your company of choice...and only use CSP for dining/travel expenses. The 95 dollar fee is kinda high. If you only spend 500 a month on dining/travel, thats 6 grand in a year, or 12k UR points. If they were redeemed at their 2cents a point average, thats only $240... less the fee is 145. Not to mention their min spend would be 3500 for csp/freedom in 90 days. Bank Of America may be your ticket. And I am not just saying that because I have one in my signature. However, they do offer generous limits, I have seen as high as $40k. Their rewards are good but not great though. Your best bet is a trio of cards like you said. Discover for double cash back (great for black friday shopping). How much do you spend a month on everything? Its going to boil down to which categories you need besides gas. How much gas a month do you spend? What are your scores? The marukai is nice but you have to spend a certain amount first to even begin earning the 3%....scroll down to spending table: http://www.doctorofcredit.com/credit-cards/cash-back/marukai-premium-jcb-card-review/ I recently discovered this and saw you have to spend a min of 20 grand a year just to get the 3%. I am sure I could run everything on a card, but 3% cash back...not great compared to other rewards and signup bonuses.... Would I say NO if chase offered me the CSP and freedom? Maybe...probably not. But still, the 2 grand in 90 days you would spend for Amex ED and PRG, that could net you up to 1500 or more in rewards..... You spend 4 grand with the CSP you will barely get 800. Is that table accurate?... I wanted to get that card, but if that table is accurate, I see no point of getting the JCB for a college student like myself.On small spends, the difference between a tiered 3% and a 2% card is going to be very small. I didn't know about this though: For every $100 you spend you’ll receive 1-3 JCB cash back points, depending on which tier you’re currently in (see above). This is calculated on a per month basis (e.g if you make $99 in purchases for a month you’ll receive no cash back points). That reduces the earnings, as on average you could lost the points on $50 each month, and up to $99.99. But if you can put nearly all except your 5% spend on it, I guess that doesn't matter that much.

Looking for recommendations for video/film background music resources

Hello
I am looking for background music for a client. I need to be able to browse samples and download them for client approval before purchase of the music license.
This will be for music that is playing behind dialogue, so I am looking for instrumentals and/or beats.
Thanks!
Rowby

Here is a little LIST that I have been keeping. Some of the music and SFX are free, and some are for sale.
For background music, I rely heavily on SmartSound, and here is an ARTICLE on using it.
Good luck,

Looking for recommendations for a good small color laser printer

My trusty Canon inkjet is on its last legs and I am considering getting a color laser printer.
I need it to have ethernet so all computers on my home LAN can print to it.
I am currently looking at the Samsung CPL-315W and the HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni Printer.
Pros: Samsung is smaller than the HP
Samsung toner is cheaper
HP print quality is rumored to be better
Cons:
Samsung toner is more difficult to find locally
HP printer is more expensive ($309 compared to $199)
If you have any advice or experience with these printers, I would appreciate it.
Chris
Austin, TX

hi cejones,
Did you end up finding a printer?
I'm looking as well. I have the Samsung clp-510 and while it's very reliable, the UI for mac is terrible. So terrible in fact that I still have it connected to a PC b/c their UI is much better for controlling colour etc..
i'm looking for a wireless solution.
Cheers

Looking for recommend Java Training

I have just spent a better part of a week trying to work on a java issue. We are running Netweaver 7.01 as our Java server to our BW systems. These NW boxes are Java (stack) only servers. I would like to get more up to speed on managing, debugging, monitoring, etc on the Java side of things. I am not even sure I have the terminolgoy right! What courses have you taken that you feel were effective? Right now my role is DBA (Oracle) and backup R3 Admin. As we move to a more Java rich environment I'd like to help fix things (vs bouncing the server all the time). I feel lost in Visual Administrator. I see to many courses that say "The course does not introduce Netweaver fundamentals and administrations." which is exactly what I feel I need.
Thanks!
Vince

I was meant to go on a combination TEP10 course recently which covers the same contents as ADM200 and EP200, but that's hard to find (and was cancelled where I did find it). If you're just looking for the Java admin basics look at this course tree: https://training.sap.com/za/en/curriculum/adm_java-sap-system-administration-as-java-general-g/.
ADM200 is almost certainly the one you want if you want the shortest (i.e. cheapest!) course focusing on just Java admin, though unfortunately I cannot yet speak from direct experience. Check out the curricula listed for yourself and don't forget to shop around the various SAP Education centres (that link is for South Africa but the curricula for the courses will be the same elsewhere as long as the version is the same). For example see this course tree from the US SAP Centre: https://training.sap.com/us/en/curriculum/ep_adm_us-portal-administration-us/. And don't forget that there are other combination courses like the TEP10 course (e.g. TADM10/TADM12) that might cover even more of what you're looking for - do some digging around to be sure of what you want.

Looking for recommendations on training books for PS CS3

I'm not complete newbie to Photoshop, but I know there is so much more I could get out of it.... so I'm looking for a good tutorial book. One that isn't going to cost me an arm & a leg.
Thanks!

Michael,
No book will have solutions to all problems. Even the Web will come up short sometimes. That's what this forum is about.
I'd start with the manual, then spend some time with the Help files (F1). Yeah, the manual doesn't read like Faulkner, but it's not bad and has the solution to many, many problems. It does rely too heavily, nowadays, on "(see Help files)," but ink and paper have gotten more expensive.
Next, as someone else suggested, "Classroom in a Book," and work through it all, even the stuff you think you'll never need. You will pick up other knowledge, as you do those exercises.
At that point, decide what you want to do with Photoshop. That will narrow your book/training down to specific areas, like "Photoshop for Photographers," "Photoshop for Video," etc.
If you hit a problem, that you cannot solve with the manual, F1, "CiaB," Google and a search of this forum, please post your specific question.

Looking for recommendation on graphics card for MSI H67MA-E45 board

This board doesnt have an adjacent psi-e slot, so any card that requires that is out right ?
So the HD 5770 is out ?
Any suggestions ,looking for something at least as good as a GTS 250.But not looking to break my budget either.Would like ,but dont need dx 11support
Thanks for any help .

Some of these cards list as- Required Peripheral / Interface Device- CD-ROM, adjacent PCI slot...
So all that means is it needs the space an extra slot would take up ,not the actual slot ?Thats seems a very confusing way to say that.
