looking for a 26-32 inch HDTV for gaming?

i’ve looked at reviews everywhere and i can never find consistent information on a HDTV in the 26 inch-32 inch range. I’m looking for a HDMI compatible HDTV to hook up to my Xbox 360. i play almost everyday so I’m looking for quality as well as durability. I’m in the $300-$400 price range – as this is a christmas present I’m asking for. I’ve heard great things about Sony‘s, Panosonic, & Samsung. I know many hardcore gamers are very skeptical about burn-ins on plasma TV‘s, but i dont think its much of a problem. I already own a 50 inch plasma Samsung and i have had no problems with burn ins. if anything i will be playing on this new TV less.
please help me pick my perfect HDTV!

I need help with a tv I bought my mother for Christmas?

I recently bought my mom a flat screen for christmas. Now I’m not the most tech savvy person, but I did research before buying it. I got her the Sony KDL-32L4000 32 inch. The problem was I bought the 780p version (which, despite my research, did not understand until afterward). Anyway, we set it up and I didnt really do anything special, just put all the wires in that were in the old tv and then connected tivo. The thing is iIreally really don’t like the picture quality. There was a problem with the top left corner and they are sending a new one but told her she could use this one for the time being.

What i’m trying to figure out is:
Was there something different we should have done when setting it up (different wires or anything)
Could it be that it was damaged (I feel thats not it because I recently saw another 32 inch with 780p and it was similar)

I just want to know because if the pixels are the problem I’m just going to have it returned instead of exchanged, it’s a Christmas present so I’d rather her just enjoy it than settle for something that could be better.

It got such good reviews and I’m so confused, any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks!
Here is one link that describes the TV, as well as reviews from people who have purchased it.

What’s the best Flat screen energy star flat screen tv?

I’m shopping for a new tv, looking for a flat screen with energy star rating, 32 inch. Asking for recommendations on brands and model numbers, based on consumer experience. Would appreciate vendor suggestions, too, regarding restocking fees, how good a store’s extended warranty really is, etc. Friends have been recommended the Samsung models and Vizio, which I’ve seen and have liked the picture. I actually saw a Viewsonic that had a better picture than the Sony next to it.

Important factors are picture quality and whether the model is user friendly in set up and when changing from one format to another.

I’m open minded to considering any good reviews, not stuck on any brand.
Plan to use it with Wii, wnat easy connection.

Sony KDL46NX810: picture setting?

I recently bought the Sony KDL46NX810 LED TV. The picture in general is good but skin tones are not accurate, they seem over saturated with color. I tried to change a few settings which did not fix the issue. There are way too many settings to try them all. I found a recommendation for calibrating the TV online (I think it was an Amazon review) but that made the picture too dark. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Still—-a Big Screen Dilemma—how to solve the problem and be happy with a $2.5K set?

Have returned 2-65″ sets.Mits (hummed) & Toshiba (bad color). Now am having a choice between Samsung Led Rear proj 61″and Sony SXRD 60″. Have read reviews and heard of a pixel prob with one of the sets and dim color on another. Does anyone have anything to recommend on either of these. The color on the Mits was great but could NOT stand the humming noise from the color wheel. Any suggestions? Right now I do not have cable or dish but have an inside antenna and a Panasonic DVR (which I cannot get to record while watching another TV show. I am at the bottom of the tech understanding group.

Anyone know if this Bravia and this LG TV are good (Can’t find online reviews!)?

I really want to get one of these 2 TVs, but I can’t find any reviews on the web (other than user reviews). For example, CNET has not reviewed these.

Anyone know anything about these and does anyone think it’s a bad idea getting a TV that hasn’t been officially reviewed anywhere on the web?

1) Sony Bravia 46″ 1080p LCD HDTV** (KDL46V3000). This is a great looking TV from Best Buy in Toronto and its only $2,000. Only problem is that it has 2 HDMI slots and not 3. CNET just a has a product description and says that it has not had a hands on with it.

2) LG 47″ 1080p Widescreen LCD HDTV** (47LY3D). This TV is avaiable at Future Shop stores in Toronto (they are like Best Buy) and it is called a “Future Shop Exclusive TV“. This is probably the reason I can barely find any information online about it. Being a model that is only at Future Shop, I am concerned about whether its maybe a dud model or something. Looks incredible though and its only $2,000.

Thanks for any information.

Is the Sony – BRAVIA / 19″ Class / 720p / 60Hz / LCD HDTV a good TV ?

I’m planning to get that for my room . I don’t want it big so I want it 19′. but is it good? Some reviews at the store website said it’s not good so I don’t know .. it’s $350 i think. I got a Toshiba 26′ a couple days ago for $399.99 but it’s not working that well … so I’m planning to return it. Thanks.

why are so many sony bravia x series LCD televisions faulty?

I have had 2 46” sony bravia X series televisions so far, both have had a horrible white clouding over the screen that interferes particularly in dark scenes. I seems that thousands of people around the world are having the same trouble. Why is nothing being done whilst Sony continue to sell these televisions???

Sony KDL46S2000 46″ Bravia Flat Panel LCD HDTV has only one hdmi connection, does that mean I can only hook up

can I only hook up my digital cable to the hdmi and not a digital dvd? and if thats the case what should I hook up the dvd to?

I am looking to spend up to $900, not including tax and shipping cost, to buy a flat screen TV. Which one?

Should I get LCD or plasma? I’ve seen a SONY Bravia 46” for $879, but I’ve also seen a Panasonic and Samsung 50″ for about the same price. Is SONY much better than others? Which has the best sound? Sound is very important bc I will not be adding surround sound. With sound I want to hear everything, like even when people speak softly. I want to be able to hear every word. Please advise. Thanks.

DVI/HDMI Cable not giving desired results?

Hi, I currently have a Sony Bravia HD TV that does 720p/1080i resolution, and I wanted it to hook up to my computer so that I could watch videos in HD from the computer to the TV. Now Iv been managing to do it fine with 720p videos, even through an analouge connection. However, I recently have recieved a 1080p video, and a HDMI to DVI cable. Yet when hooked up, the picture on the TV is distorted, overstreteched, and when I try to watch the 1080p video it jumps about (I was told the TV should downscale it perfectly using this cable, but gives same if not worse results than using analouge). Can anyone help me with this? Thank-you

Dan

(The TV is a Sony Bravia KDL46S2010U 46” HD Ready LCD TV, thanks again)
Im using a NVIDIA Geforce 7950 GX2, done a test using cyberlink advisor to test if my computer can handle HD-DVDs and it says my computer should be able to play it. Hope that helps
Thanks for your answer count. Does this mean that my computer would have to be sending a HD signal / converting the HD signal going to the TV? As I have been able to watch 720p things fine on my Bravia normally

Do you think i got a good deal or no?

plus my free tv that i upgraded too a 46” for 500.00

tax for little over 200 and deliver for 40.00 which included a 50 mile drive too my house and they completely set everything up for me in my room.

i told my parents the other day and my mom insist that i got ripped off or i could of found a better deal and that i could of looked in the classifieds for a bedroom set but i want a new one for my self not a used one.

on that tv the sale price for the 32” was $400 but they gave me the full price credit of $500 and 46” sale price was $750 but i paid the the full $1000 price on it but since i got a $500 credit i bought a $1000 tv for $500.

What is the best choice?

OK This is getting crazy. I am looking into a new lcd tv. It’s down to Sony or Samsung. They are almost identical. Or are they? They are both 46” hd lcd‘s at the same price. Some so Samsung is better then Sony. I have other sony Components. My plan from the beginning was to build a compatible system.i.e. Bravia sync. A sales men said it’s a small inconvenience to select the Samsung to get a better product. What should I do?

no sound on my sony bravia with hdmi cables….?

i’ve connected my sony bravia to my hd cable box with the hdmi cable and it looks just like they do in best buy. but the problem is there is no audio and i have no idea what the problem is. any help???

im using a Sony HT-CT100 (sound buffer) on my sony bravia TV and i some serious help?

im watching football and the audio sounds weird. It sounds as if im listening to someone, and their voice sounds like it is being covered by their mouth while they’re talking, instead of talking clearly. Like their voice has less sound quality (from 240 kbps to 60 kpbs). Or maybe it sounds like its mono instead of stereo.

anyway — i wanna fix this. my sound field & level modes are fine, im 100% sure of that, but im not so sure of the “amp menu” settings. I have everything hdmi controlled to the sound buffer (but that’s irrelevant). i need the settings to hear stereo sound (or more crispy) instead of something sounding like its being blocked.

it was normal before, so dont tell me to move by buffer. i was just playing around with the settings for no apparent reason, and messed something up.

I just had my computer hooked up to my Sony Bravia TV, now I have no sound?

I used a HDMI cable to hook my computer up to the TV. When I did this, it had no sound. Now, when I’ve unplugged the cord and put the regular TV back on, I have no sound. How do I fix this? I’ve checked all the cords in the back of the TV, everything is the same.

Are LCD TVs supposed to look bad at first?

I just bought a Vizio LCD TV. I have never owned an LCD television before. I turned it on and the picture is very low quality. Do I need to change the settings or will it get better on its own? I have heard they have a “burn in period” but I didnt know if this was a rumor or what. Thank you!

What is major difference between plasma and LCD TVs?

Is one actually considered “better” than the other? A few friends have LCDs and I think that it looks too much like a big computer screen. Does one have better longevity than the other? I don’t play video games, so the tv will be mainly used for watching shows and movies- any suggestions on which to go with? Thanks for all of your help!

What is a Good HDMI Cable to Use With My Directv?

I recently purchased a SONY Bravia 46” 1080p TV. I have Directv HD service. I am wondering what a good HDMI cable would be to use? I have a HDMI cable now, but it was a cheap one I bought online (it doesnt have the HDMI logo on it).

How much does it matter for the cable. (The run is no more than 3 feet).

Home Theater 1080p question?

Why won’t a PS3 display on an HDTV?

I bought an entire HD setup a few days ago and hooked up a PS3 to a Sony Receiver, and the receiver to a Sony Bravia 46” 1080p 120 Hz HDTV using two seperate HDMI cables. The PS3 then changed settings to HD. Everything has worked fine for three days since buying the setup and today when I went to watch a blu ray, nothing happened. The PS3 turned on, the receiver turned on, but the TV displayed the messages “No signal, “audio only”. It did however show that it had an HDMI connection. At times there were quick flickers on screen displaying the PS3 display screen but nothing long enough to read the message displayed. The TV works, the receiver works, the PS3 works when its connected simply using the red, white, and yellow wires. I’ve switched up the 2 HDMI cables, I’ve used just one connected from the PS3 to the TV, and then tried the other cable of the 2, but nothing works. I’m not a huge techie, but the wires were obviously connected properly if the PS3 has been working up until tonight.

I need help before I go out and pay for any more wires or cables. Is there something really obvious I’m missing?

I really appreciate any help.
*UPDATE* When I hook up the PS3 to another, non HDTV, there is no longer any sound. Everything was working perfectly and now it seems like everything is failing.

New Sony Bravia Full HD TV: Picture Not Coming in HD, Looks Like SD?

I just hooked up my new Comcast DCH Digital Box, with HD, to my new Sony Bravia LCD Full HD1080i TV. I’ve followed all the wiring guides and am using an HDMI cable to connect the digital cable box to the Sony. However, the picture quality looks nothing like HD. Edges are blurry, words and details poorly defined. I had Comcast re-initialize the box and nothing different happened. I even took the HDMI cable off and replaced the connections with the 3-plug RGB component cable — no difference at all — same poorly defined, non-sharp picture.

I also removed the HDMI cable and just have the digital box connect to the TV via the coax — that gave me the same picture and seemed to indicate to me that neither the HDMI or component cables were operational.

I checked for ‘noise’ and even went so far as to disconnect/re-connect the Comcast coax coming into my house to see if I could impact the picture quality. Nothing seems to work. Can anyone suggest what to do next? Thanks.

Help on HD TVs 720p vs 1080p Sony bravia?

So I’m buying a flat screen tv and don’t no a lot about HD TV.
First of all I want to buy a 32″ but I seen a sony bravia that looked really good and its going on sale but its 720p. The sales person told me that a 32″ doesn’t need 1080p because it would be to many pixels on the screen which may cause the picture to be funny. Is a 720p okay to have than a 1080p on a sony bravia or should i keep looking for another brand that has 1080p? The sony bravia has a nice picture and i was comparing the 720p sony brand with another sony bravia and it was a 40″ and was 1080p but looked the same as the 720p. I am mostly using it for my ps3 and movies. Thanks
