HDMI Enhanced Black Levels, ect, etc As a newbie on this forum and painfully new to HDTV in general, it was good to read an article which pointed toward some guidance which can be noted as info for future reference when shopping. Don't pretend to have understood "all" of it - but some small...

Regret to read the bad news about Sony. One of the brands on my short list being considered for purchase. The main concern for me is that Sony may decide to stop all TV R&D and production. I don't want to see it come to that![ My dad used to say, "Timing in life is...

Sony Loses Regret to read the bad news about Sony. One of the brands on my short list being considered for purchase. The main concern for me is that Sony may decide to stop all TV R&D and production. I don't want to see it come to that!

32" LED/LCD TVs Following are 7 brands of TVs that are currently popping up in on-line ads. If you will, you can please tell me if you would buy any of them. You may list them as Good, Better, Best. Or you can list randomly. A few words as to "why" would be useful. Element Haier...

32 inch LED/LCD TVs The cabinet is not built in. It's free-standing and moveable. Storage for it is an issue if we choose wall-mounting. Thanks for the tips on the various TVs and Blue-rays and racks. What are your thoughts on Haier and Symphonic? Respectfully, the following 4 paragraphs...

32inch LED/LEC HDTVs There is an electrical outlet and an existing coax cable below, but not centered, on the wall that would take the mount - if I go that way. The mounting area is between 2 windows that catch afternoon sun. I'm still not too 'sold' on larger than 32 inch and wall mounting...

32 inch LCD/LED TVs Very nice coverage with the list. Thanks! If we go to 42 or 47 inches I will have to wall-mount the unit. I found info stating weight is hardly an issue when wall-mounting. My "problem" is the age of this house! Built in the 1950s, and contrary to popular opinion, this...

32 inch LCD/LED TVs The room is 25ftLX 8ftWX 8ftH. Viewing angle should be at least 165 degrees. Viewing distance is approximately 7ft. Being in our 70s we plan to be here from now on. House will be paid for in under 3 years. Life of the unit should exceed 5 years without major repairs...

32 inch LCD/LED TVs Here are a few units in which we have interest and meet our budget, plus/minus. Please let me know your considered opinion of these in order of "Good", "Better", "Best". Model numbers are included should you wish to look for more information. I prefer 1080p in an...

Down and/or Backwards-firing speakers A very informative reply! Thank you! With it, you hit many nails on the head for my situation, and I'm greatful for the info. It will be put to good use. As for the TV - will head to that section and see what's there. On another, but similar site...

Down and/or Backwards-firing Spearkers By "well-versed" I refer to folks that make a living testing/reviewing electronics; then write articles about their findings on line or in magazines. Stuff that we consumers can use to make good buying decisions. What do you consider to be a mid level...

Down and/or Backwards-firing speakers The input is GREAT! Thanks all! What I have is an RCA 6-piece 5.1 Dolby Digital set of speakers bought 8 to 10 years ago. They worked last time they were connected to a SDTV(about 5 weeks ago). The fly in the ointment is that the speakers are clip-on...

Back and/or Down-firing speakers Markw, Thanks very much for your reply and link. "Lurking" in previous posts here on speakers, it appears they run the gamut from inexpensive(and cheesy), to high dollar and outstanding quality. I would think "you get what you pay for" certainly applys". My...

Can some one please give a basic explanation as to why there are such speakers in HDTVs? They are not very satisfactory, according to several customer reviews I've read. That pretty well leaves us to ponder expensive home theatre sound systems; and soundbars - which don't score too well in...

720 1080 ...dilemma As a newbie myself I find these resolution numbers quite over-whelming and wish to understand it all better for making an informed buying decision. But I have no problem or issue with distance; it's already pre-determined. The various comments and the chart did shed a bit...

Distance from screen Useful articles for beginners! Thanks! This "question" has a cut-and-dry solution for me: I will sit approximately 6 feet from the screen. It(screen) has to be a max of 32", as the space for it is 35". In some tech advice forums I visit on this general topic of...

Lost New Guy Where are all the folks in this forum that are just starting to research the first-time purchase of a HDTV?
