Re: LCD tv

a likkle summen from the Big O to start you off

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">LCD TV

Liquid Crystal Displays, or LCD TVs, were first used as computer monitors. They have tiny crystals embedded in the screen which glow red, green or blue when hit by an electrical charge. Varying the charge varies the color intensity; varying which crystals get charged varies the color.

Pros: Images can be very sharp and very bright. If the set is near a window, LDC televisions are less affected by glare. LCD TVs are great for TV wall mounts.

Cons: LCDs don't do really dark black, and if you want a really big screen, you won't find it on a LCD flat screen TV, yet.

Plasma TV

Plasma TVs are like a neon sign controlled by a computer. Two plates of glass have microscopic bubbles of neon & xenon gas and pixels between them. When this gas is excited by electrical charges, it becomes plasma, giving off photons which make the phosphor pixels glow.

Pros: High resolution; a smooth, even image across the whole screen; plasma televisions can display billions of colors for a truly realistic picture; a distortion-free wide viewing angle; a plasma TV is also light enough for a TV wall mount.

Cons: Black levels are only okay; if left on the same image too long, screen-burn can occur, meaning a permanent 'ghost' image is visible (a bigger problem with video games than movies or TV shows); plasma TVs are heavier and more delicate than LCD televisions of comparable size.

Television features
Aspect ratio: Two numbers describing how screen width relates to screen height. Standard screen is 4:3, meaning a 480i resolution screen is 640x480 pixels. Wide screen is 16:9, meaning a 1080i screen is 1920x1080 pixels. Go wide screen if you can -- you will thank us later.

Cable or Dish TV: If you subscribe to satellite television or cable, your service provider will give you a satellite dish or cable box to decode their signals.

Closed captioning: Text appears across the bottom of the screen to aid the hearing impaired -- also useful for those learning a language -- it's a built-in feature of most televisions and DVDs.

Contrast ratio: The difference between the brightest and dimmest colors the set can show; the higher the ratio, the better the image -- 5,000:1 is good; 10,000:1 is fabulous; 15,000:1 is, well, really expensive!

HDTV versus HD-ready TV: An HD-ready or HD monitor cannot display high definition pictures unless the signal is processed through an external HD tuner before it goes into the set. A true HD television has a factory-installed HD receiver.

Picture-in-picture: A small second picture appears in a corner of the TV screen so viewers can watch two programs at one time.

Response time: The amount of time it takes for a pixel to go from black to white and back again. It's like a camera's shutter speed; the lower the number, the faster the speed, the better the picture.

Screen size: Because one number is more convenient, screen sizes are measured diagonally -- a 32-inch LCD TV screen is about 27.75 inches wide x 15.75 inches high. Difficult as it is to believe, there is such a thing as a too-big television -- well, that's the rumor. Movie and sports fans, especially, want the biggest TV screen they can get, but they also want to see the whole image clearly. Choose a screen that fits your room. If you will sit 5 to 7 feet away, pick a 37-41-inch screen; for 8 to 9 feet, find a 42-43-inch; 10 to 11 feet, get a 44-50-inch screen; 11 to 13 feet, go for a 50-60-inch screen; 13 to 14 feet, 50-70-inch; over 15 feet, you'll want a 70-inch or bigger screen. Of course, you haven't seen the opening of the first Star Wars movie until you've seen it sitting 5 inches from a 50" plasma TV!

On the flip side, if you want to watch cooking shows in the kitchen, or reruns while you ride the bus to work, you'll need a portable television. Most portable color TVs are CRT or LCD, some portable TVs come in combination with a DVD player or radio or clock.

TV wall mounts: A TV mount can hang your set on the wall like a picture -- great for uncluttered décor schemes. A few sets include a TV wall mount, but most must be purchased separately. If you go this way, get a TV set with a wide viewing angle so you can see it from the side as well as straight on. Be sure you attach the TV mount securely and directly to the studs -- a flat panel TV is still not all that light. A TV shelf is another great wall option.

Television care
The new technologies have one collective downside -- repairs can be expensive! They are like cars, so buy an extended warranty if one is available, or find yourself a dependable repair shop. Modern, high-tech components are more delicate than CRT components, so read your owner's manual carefully and follow its recommendations.

Re: LCD tv

7's This same thing happen to my girlfriend re car. She was out car shopping and had made up her mind to buy a new car. We went to a Lexus dealer in San Diego. The car salesman that was out on the lot at the time, did not ask if he could help her, did not even acknowledge her, as a matter of he went back into the building.

So we look around at the cars, blah blah blah. Its late in the evening, dark out, near closing time, I guess he could not be bother with lookaloos [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70388-shameonyou.gif[/img]

She picked out the brand new Lexs that she wanted from the lot, color and all.

Next day, she goes back to the dearlership with her brother to purchase. She was not going to finance and she wants her bro to negogiate (sp) the price for her. Same salesman sees her coming back, and now she has his attention, cause she is back [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70392-silly.gif[/img]

He asks can he help her [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/rolleyes.gif[/img] she says No, thank you [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img] however, she goes into the dealership, finds the only black salesman there and gives him the deal! [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek2.gif[/img]

But, wait she doesn't stop there she lets the original salesman know the reason why she would not let him help her when she was prepare to buy, because he did not fawt upon her when she was "looking" or so he assumed she was just looking.

She got such a kick out of that and so did the salesman that got the commission! [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img]

For real everyone that comes thru the door is a potential customer and should be treated as such. Never Ever judge a book by its cover!

Re: LCD tv

cool, but mi wouldn't buy nuttin from dat dealership at all, not when there are so many more fi buy from.
De one who treats me right get mi dollaz. And from dat mi wouldn't go back aside from guh back deh wid mi new cyaar an mek dem know why mi neh buy from dem.

**nattydreadgirl** · 02-13-2008, 01:23 PM

Re: LCD tv

I know, I felt the same way, that I would have given my business to another dealership, however, she just wanted to make the salesman feel like ish, and it worked. Imagine the commission he missed out on! [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img]
