You should try youtube. I have no clue on audio stuff or HD stuff period for real. Youtube usually has reviews and people who actually have the stuff.


I got a 5.1 Sony HTIB and i LOVVVVVEEEEE it....it kicks and sounds incredible

Hmmm.... will this work with my blu ray too? Is that just a home theater in a box?
 
So I saw the LED in person for the first time Friday at Fry's. Man that thing is amazing. But i see that you guys saying it still needs to be calibratedout of the box. Should I save to invest in one or just buy a LCD

Hmmm OK thanks. Do you think it would work when the stand is in a split corner?
 
I have a Sumsung TOC A650 that I purchased in August

for the longest time my auto motion plus was "stuck" and i then downloaded a firmware update... fixed it and now I swear it doesn't work again..

I've checked AVS forums and this isn't uncommon

The first time I attributed it to me getting used to it... but I work at best buy... see different TV's all the time... and know how it looks. Should Ihave a tech come out to check it out before my 1 year is done?

Yes. It may get worse with time. Thats just a guess but you never know.

So the 120Hz is called motion plus? I haven't read my manual

Its funny... even though I've had this problem with my Samsung...I still sell only Samsungs

Walmart has some clamp lamps for like $6 or so too..

How is the lighting though? Does it work? You like it?

Havent been here much, work has had me tied up recently...

To: Cragmatic
Yes get your TV checked out before the 1 year manufature warranty ends. I know you work at BBY, so i assume you bought the PSP[BTP]. What you want todo is get it checked out and if the Tech deems it non-repairable or it takes too long to fix AND it is something that the manufacture can fix then you can geta new TV (no charge, and pro-rated PSP $$, if not all of it)....
Also, the Samsung 07' TOC sets were very overrated. Not trying to knock your TV by any means, it is a damn good TV but crazy over-priced forthe non-employees...The TOC have been having problems lately...this one though is not common. Although Samsungs 120hz tech does suck. It has improved on theLED set this year, but before then they were getting murdered when compared to Sony's 120hz. Sony allowed for better manipulation of the setting andseperated it from "Motion Flow"...anyway...the LED's are off to a good start..but very $$....
 
i have a problem. i bout the sony bravia 40u100m a couple years ago and just discovered it was a tunerless tv. so my question is could i get a coaxial cable torca converter and plug it in my tv, will i get cable or would i need a cable box?
 
your Sony is actually a monitor and not a TV.

you could try using a coax to RCA converter, but i'm not sure how well that works, or if it works at all.

your monitor has enough HD imputs that using a box would allow you to watch HD cable channels.
 
whats a good cleaner for my Samsung LCD HDTV 2007 40"? The monster screen cleaner left some streaks on my tv I think. sigh any help?
