Recommenda​tions on a new TV...

Hey Guys,
I've decided to buy a new TV.
Admittedly, I haven't had time to keep up to date on which models and/or screens are the best to buy.  A few of the attributes I'd prefer are as follows:
1.  55" - 60" - LED - 120hz or 240hz
2.  At least 2 HDMI slots, but would prefer 3, all things being equal.
This TV will mainly be in my study/game room with (1) Appple TV, and (2) PS4.  If I had a 3rd HDMI slot, I suppose I could hook up another future device, but not really vital.  And, since I've got Apple TV & PS4, I'm assuming the SMART feature would be both unnecessary and redundant?
So, which model and price point would you guys recommend?  Price isn't really an object within reason; but, of course, I'd prefer a model that has an excellent screen and good value.  By the way, Best Buy's free delivery includes unpacking, placing in chosen room, and removing my old TV?
Thanks for any help you guys can provide.

The Vizio M Series. Better picture quality than any other LED in it's price range. The F series is almost as good and a bit cheaper.
Those Samsungs suffer from picture uniformity issues and their horrendous customer service.
The LG I don't know offhand, but if it's the same as the other budget LG TV's my guess would be that it's a pretty mediocre TV.
Personally, I'd buy the 60" Samsung F5300 plasma. It's EASILY the best value that Best Buy has right now. The picture quality will blow away any of the LED's that have been mentioned. The only LED TV's that are going to have a better picture are located in the Magnolia section of the store.

  • Your recommenda​tion for a new HP Photosmart All-in-one​.

    Could I get your recommendations for a new HP Photosmart All-in-one.  My old Photosmart #C5180 died. I loved that machine - it made excellent copies, was a wonderful printer and scanner and made excellent photographs, and it lived for many years.  What would be your recommendations for a new Photosmart that would be similar to my old one and hopefully use the same cartridges,  HP02, which I have a supply of.  Thanks for your any recommendations that anyone would volunteer.

    Railway,
    Unfortunately no current model of printer is going to support those cartridges.
    Here is a link to our current photosmart models:
    http://shopping.hp.com/en_US/home-office/-/product​s/Printers/HP%20Photosmart
    All of those are great printers. If you are looking to occasionaly send faxes, then the 7510 would be the one you would want to go with. It has eFax on it, which is faxing over a internet connection, without the use of a phone line.

  • Needing Sound Recommenda​tions for a New Living Room TV

    I am in need of some solid TV recommendations for my living.  I currently have a 65" Plasma that the sun coming through the windows destroys the picture.  I guess I needed to do more homework before I made the purchase.  I love the TV so despite my wife being totally against it, I am going to put it in my bedroom. 
    With that being said, is there a television (60" or larger) that anyone can recommend that works perfectly in those conditions?  I know it would be cheaper to buy drapes, but I want to do it right this time.  Any recommendations would be much appreciated.  I have about three months before I return from my deployment to make a decision.  Time is definitely on my side.  Thanks  

    Might not be a bad idea to have a consultation done. My go to TV for rooms with a lot of lighting is LGs. They're really improved the past few years and prefer them over sharp. I would mainly stay away from Samsung. Even though they're awesome TV's, they tend to put a glossy finish on them. I also love Panasonic plamas, but plasmas have a glass screen which produces glare.

  • Recommendations for Installing a new system on new drives.

    I'm replace the hard drive that the g5 came with, with 2 wd raptors. I plan to keep the existing drives short term, as a back up.
    The system is less than a week old, so there is very little to back up, but if there 'back up settings to disk button', that anyone knows about, that would be very useful.
    I'm assuming, and from reading the manual (yes I did) installing tiger on the new top slot drive will be easy. Correct me if I'm wrong.
    The real question is, what the best configuration for partitions on the new drives? In windows, I liked to keep my system partition fairly small (5 gig) to speed defragmention, I'd put my programs on the same psysical drive but a different logical partition, and files in 2 or 3 partitions on the 2nd drive.
    How does all this sound to you mac hands, and is there anything I ought to know or do before I take the plunge? §: )

    Hi Maxis;
    With OS X, defragmentation is done by the operating system so that is not a valid reason to partition.
    Generally, I recommend that a system disk not be partitioned into parts that will be used productively. It tends to impact performance negatively because of the increased head movement between partitions. I currently have my system disk partitioned but the second partition is being used for long term storage of archived data. The data is always moved to that partition during off hours.

  • Recommenda​tions for Upgrading

    I purchased a W520 last year around this time.
    Have been very happy with it so far. I am at that point now where I am looking for more. 
    What is the first upgrade I should do?
    I have...
    - 8GB of ram
    -160 GB SSD it came with (thinking about upgrading here)
    - i7 2760
    -windows 7 pro
    I have never cloned hard drives before is it hard?
    Thanks

    The W520 is a relatively new model. (Certain users would rather hang on to it than upgrading to the latest W530.) That means all the components cannot be considered "out of date." The main bay, in particular, supports SATA 6Gbit/s or, as certain people put it, SATA III.
    Your 160GB SSD, which I suppose to be Intel, supports SATA 3Gbit/s. You may want to upgrade to a SSD of higher storage capacity and, most likely, the new SSD supports SATA 6Gbit/s although I doubt the increase in transfer speed will bring any perceptible improvements.
    I'd recommend bumping the RAM up to 16GB total. Although your applications might not need all of it, Windows SuperFetch can take full advantage of the available RAM.
    Cloning? Use Acronis True Image, for example. Very easy.

    They are showing up now but when i posted all i could see was a blank triangle(which means the admin/mods hadn't approved them).
    Is your line dropping the connection (lights on the router changing colour)or is it stalling (lights staying the same colour)?
    Regarding a 5ghz router there are many dual band routers out there that will do the job your after just fine just make sure they support PPPoA.
    And for future reference i will post the details below you can use to connect a new router to the Sky network(ignore that is says o2 as these were release by Sky when they bought o2/BE broadband so those customers could use their own routers on Sky).
    1. Enter the following details within the routers Graphical User Interface (GUI):
    Encapsulation: PPPoA (PPP over ATM)

  • LDAP: Recommended way to add new objectclass to existing entries?

    Can anyone help me with the preferred way to add a new objectclass (with attrributes) to existing entries within a directory (via the javax.naming API)?
    I have an application that uses a directory of users. Each user has objectclasses "top", "person", and "inetOrgPerson" with usual attributes.
    The application needs to change to add a custom objectclass, say "ourAppClass" (and its attributes), to each existing entry within the directory. I have already successfully defined the schema for the objectclass within the directory.
    I cannot find examples showing how to add an objectclass to existing entries. Creating brand new entries with custom objectclassess is straightforward.
    When using DirContext.modifyAttributes must I define all the objectclasses again, or is there a way to send only the new objectclass and its attributes only?
    Attributes attrs = new BasicAttributes();
    Attribute classes = new BasicAttribute("objectclass");
    classes.add("top");  // do I need these?
    classes.add("person"); // do I need these?
    classes.add("inetOrgPerson"); // do I need these?
    classes.add("ourAppClass"); // in-house class
    attrs.put(classes);
    attrs.put("ourCustAtribute", "value1"); //
    DirContext.modifyAttributes(dn, LdapContext.REPLACE_ATTRIBUTE, attrs);Does someone have a good example to follow?

    I think I have answered my own question. I think I need to use a ModificationItem to add an attribute to the objectclass.
    final ModificationItem[] classModification= new ModificationItem[1];
    classModification[0] = new ModificationItem(DirContext.ADD_ATTRIBUTE,
                new BasicAttribute("objectclass", "ourAppClass"));
    dirContext.modifyAttributes(dn, classModification);

  • Print server recommenda​tions for Laserjet 1018

    I tried using Apple's Airport Xpress with my laserjet 1018 as a print server, and it worked ok on my laptop (wireless) but quite poorly on my desktop (wired). My laptop is Vista; desktop is XP. Apple said that the problem was with the OS or the printer.  Man if I had a dime for all the tech support calls that have claimed that their product wasn't the problem....
    Rather than making numerous trips to best buy or purchases on amazon, is there a compatibility list for the 1018 and print servers? I know this seems to be tricky, as I've seen numerous complaints about the lack of compatibility between printers and print servers.  At this point I'm willing to use either wired or wireless print servers--I just want something that works.
    EDIT: Even if someone doesn't have a list, if there are print servers that are known to work with lots of printers, at least that would give me better odds of finding one that worked with my 1018.
    I suppose the price ceiling I'm looking at is 75 bucks or so, as that would be the difference betwen (a) buying a new HP 1505n  and (b) ebaying off my 1018. So if its much more than 75, I think I'd be better off just getting the 1505n.

  • Satellite Pro M30, Is it recommended to install the new display driver from nVIDIA?

    I own a Satellite Pro M30 notebook, which includes a GeForce FX Go5200 GPU made by nVIDIA. On July 27, nVIDIA released a new driver and related software (version 61.77) which, as stated by nVIDIA, fits all its GPUs.
    I tried to install this new driver on my notebook (after removing the old driver as instructed by nVIDIA) but it does not install. Does somebody have any idea why?
    Why isn't the new driver posted on Toshiba's driver support site for this notebook?

    Hi
    All drivers are designed and tested for the notebooks and Tom is right about depending on notebook producer. That means that you can find all necessary drivers on Toshiba download page.
    As far as I know Toshiba supports the drivers delivered with the unit and updates drivers if needed.

    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)

  • Need a recommenda​tion for a DJ speaker setup

    what loudspeakers, subwoofer, and accessories should I get for small to medium venues.I already have a full stanton setup (mixer/two tables/) and have a laptop I use too. I just have only used stereo equipment and done house partys but want to step it up and I am not sure what to buy and the Best Buy I work at does not have a musical instrument department.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Lot's of different options, and it sounds like you've determined what size of setup you want.  If your going to be doing small party's, I would recommend two powered speakers, since you already have the tables and mixer.  And the powered speakers will help in the ease of setup also.  If you can find them, there still may be some out there in Best Buy, but they are discontinued, I would look into getting two Thump15's by Tapco.  They put out alot of volume and would be great for a DJ setup.  And obviously you could upgrade from that to Mackies, or EV's.  Just depends on the price range.  Please give us a call if you have any more questions.  Thanks!  Randy Smith  M.I. sup Tempe, AZ 480.303.7251 

  • Need a recommenda​tion on a DAQ to finish this configurat​ion

    I am currently putting together a setup that includes the following items:
                 1: Motor Driver - Aries AR-01xx  from Parker
                 2: NI UMI -7774
                 3: Motor - Direct Drive Rotary Table from Parker that is listed under rotary positioners on their website
                 4: PCI DAQ is unknown at this time.
    I am pretty new with motion control and I am trying to see if there is a DAQ/setup out there for a PC that would allow me to interface with items 1-3.  I was thinking a NI PCI-7342 might work since I only intend to use 2-axis and it also comes with NI Motion Control.  Or is there a better setup that I should use to interface to the motor driver?  I already know that items 1 and 3 work together I just need to be able to interface LabVIEW 8.6 to the motor driver? 
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ginzu

    Ginzu,
    I don't expect every user being an expert in the NI acronym jungle , but I just wanted to make it clear, that there is a significant difference between these two product lines. Sometimes there are some misunderstandings (Q: "How can I program my 73xx board with NI-DAQmx?" A: "You can't. You need to use NI-Motion" ) and I wanted to avoid this siutation.

  • What package do you recommend with buying a new macbook air?

    I am looking to buy a MacBook Air.  I'd like a much storage as possible, speed as posible and to edit photos, etc (but don't want to pay for more than I need).  Thanks.  I am hoping to use my new MacBook Air seamlessly with my iPad2 for pages documents (sinced to the cloud).

    1. Opt for the 8 GB memory upgrade. For $100, it will absolutley give the biggest "bang for buck", in terms of performance upgrades. Since you can never upgrade the memory later, it is a necessity to include the option with your purchase.
    2. 256 GB is a reasonable amount of SSD, provided that your iTunes library is under around 32 GB, and you don't plan on storing too much in the way of movies or other space intensive files. It is also enough if you possibly plan to run a simple Windows installation with a VM product like Fusion or Parallels. Consider the larger 500 GB selection if you think you will be storing large amounts of data. Only yop will know what you will need. I say estimate your need, then double it. I have about 175 GB on my system right now, and use Windows and have a modest iTunes libary, with a few movies. I opted for the 500 GB SSD, so I have some room.
    3. Upgrade the processor only if you will be needing the device for light gaming, video editing, or any other processor or graphics intensive work. The base processor is pretty good, and the upgrade is only a modest increase in performace, so this will be the least likely upgrade to consider if money is tight.

  • Camera Bag Recommenda​tion

    What would you recommend for a camera bag for this type of digital slr camera & lens ? :
    Canon 2762b003 black eos rebel xs 10.1 mp digital camera with extra lens Black
    TechGirl
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hey TechGirl,
    There are many choices when it comes to camera bags, and deciding on what one meets your needs really depends on a few different things. I first suggest thinking about what type of environment you will be using the camera in. If you are going to be trekking all over the world, and exposing the camera to harsh conditions, I would suggest getting at least a durable water resistant bag. If you're going to use the camera primarily in your home and occasionally take it out of the house you could probably get by with a less durable bag that isn't water resistant. The next thing you should consider is do you anticipate carrying a lot of lenses, and accessories with you, or will it primarily be just the camera with a lens on it.
    The four types of camera bags are a hard case, backpack, shoulder bag, and what's called a holster style bag. Hard cases are more for checking the camera when you travel, while a backpack would be used if you would be traveling on foot with a large amount of equipment. The shoulder bag is the most common, because it allows you to carry a good amount of equipment without being cumbersome. The holster style bag holds just the camera body with a lens attached, but they usually are limited to what size lens will fit in it.
    There are a few bags I found that I feel would work well for this camera package, but by no means are these your only options. There is a shoulder bag that is made by Canon for their EOS series of cameras, and they also make a good holster style bag. If you are in need of a lot of room, and would like a backpack style bag Lowepro makes a good backpack. I hope this is helpful!
