Vizio GV42L 42" HDTV LCD settings?

I just bought a Vizio GV42L 42" LCD HDTV. Just a few questions:
1) what settings have you used for cable programming and/or movies, as I hear to get good picture you really need to tweak it right.
2) I have my comcast HD DTS box and progressive scan DVD player connected to the Vizio using component cables. When I'm watching an HD channel, it does look HD, and when I'm watching a DVD It does look much higher quality than typical analog cables..However, when I press the info button. It still says resolution coming it at only 480i. Should I be concerned and/or try using HDMI cables instead?
~Gavin Ng

I ran into this problem with my Samsung LCD.. the Cox Cable HD box wasn't automatically converting the signal to 1080i. You'll have to go into the settings of your cable box and manually switch it to 1080i... I ran through a setup process that it displays a bunch of screens and which ever one you can see it programs the box to use ...after that it automatically switched between the 1080i for the HD channels and lower 720/480 for the non HD channels.

Call your cable provider.. thats what i did to figure out the setup program.

Samsung LN46B750 replace our 5-years 46 “Samsung DLP. The new Samsung is incredibly bright and vivid. I chose to go with the LN46B750 most of the new Samsung LED TV UN46B6000 because of the” screen of uniformity “issues with the edge-lit LED screen comments referred to the user. My purchase is based solely on comments, a lot of experience of our former Samsung not go to a store to see the TV before you buy. The picture quality is stunning 1080p video sources like a Blu-ray. HD channels on our local cable provider is also very good.

TV Our office is near a large window with a semi-transparent window in the shade, it is difficult to see our Samsung DLP TV during the day. The new Samsung B750 LCD can be seen in these conditions, despite their brilliant display of the oldest of our Samsung DLP TV (which has a matte screen).

Setup is a breeze. Simply place the TV stand included and installed four screws. The position allows you to turn on the TV. TV is like a glass, glossy black and a cup with a back-foot glossy black undercoating. This gives a very contemporary television, but personally I do not shine elegant piano black finish, because you can easily see spots, but shiny black seems to be the current trend on television.

The TV is a breeze to connect to my BD player and cable set-top box using HDMI cables. By “surround sound” I used the Denon DHT-FS3 Soundbar home theater system that fits the front of the TV. (See shared image of my client.) Please note that you must run separate audio cables to the Denon HDMI digital because it lacks connectivity.

Order / Delivery: I bought the $ 275 Samsung B750 Samsung using promotion outside of the Amazon. Free, arrived in about a week after placing the order. Delivery staff in advance to schedule a delivery time window, and then 30 minutes before delivery. Delivered in our box room. Note of the shipping box is thin, but a foot wider than the TV, because the Styrofoam containers … my initial reaction to the width of the box is that I sent the wrong TV.

In summary, a large screen LCD TV with an image.

How can i connect my surround sound and ps3 to my HDTV LCD TV?

Okay last night i bought a samsung lcd ledtv 7000 series 7 UN40B7000. Okay well heres the deal, the tv only has RGB inputs and two white and red inputs but no yellow. I know the ps3 goes to the tv with hdmi cables. But now how to get the surround sound system with the tv? in other wwords i want the tv's sound to go to the surround sound system too. The surround sound system is a panasonic dvd surround sound system with ipod dock.

I'd run the PS3 First to the Surround amp...then just send the video over to the LCD TV set from there.....

That's the only way to get SURROUND over to the amp...unless your PS3 has a separate OPTICAL AUDIO OUTPUT....

That's the normal way to get surround out of a game or DVD player....

A new flat screen TV can certainly enhance your home cinema experience, but there are many factors that you must bear in mind to ensure that you get the maximum out of your new purchase. There are so many things to think about; from making sure you have the right type of cables to how you are going to mount your TV to get the best viewing angle. This short guide is designed to give you a few simple tips that should help you avoid the major headaches, leaving you free to enjoy high definition viewing in all its glory.

The first step is to make sure that your new TV is actually the right size in relation to the room. I know that a lot of people think that bigger means better, but this is not always the case. Certainly in the days of CRT TVs it was much more difficult to make a large screen, so therefore very large TVs were used as a status symbol. Nowadays technology means that large screens are much more common, so many people simply opt for the largest TV in the shop, which is fine if you have a huge house, but if you try squeezing a 60 inch TV into a normal sized room you will find that you can't sit far enough away to actually get an enjoyable view of the screen. A good rule of thumb to work off is that your minimum viewing distance should be about 1.5 times the width of the screen. Of course you don't have to adhere to this rule, but it's a good indication of what size TV your room can sensibly accommodate.

You should also think about the types of things you will be watching as this will have an affect on the type of audio system that you need. For instance, if you mainly watch documentaries or news shows then the standard TV speakers will probably be perfectly adequate. However, if you are mainly going to be watching movies you may want to invest in a surround sound system to really get that cinema experience. The size and location of your room will also affect the quality of the sound, so if you live next to a busy road you may decide to upgrade the speakers to get louder, clearer sounds. Just be sure not to have your TV too loud or you may annoy your neighbours or housemates!

Something else to bear in mind is the positioning of your TV within the room. Not only do you have to physically find someway of placing the TV, whether using the supplied stand or investing in a bracket to mount it to a wall, but you also have to think about where you will be sitting and how this will affect your view of the screen. The ideal position is for the TV to be at eye level when viewing, so adopt your normal viewing position and find a place that is comfortable for your eyes to focus on.

A final factor that is important is the type of connection you use. HDMI is generally seen as offering the best quality picture and sound, but if you are trying to marry up your new TV to older AV equipment that is not HDMI compatible you may have to use variety of other cables and connections. Once your TV is connected up, you should spend a few minutes ensuring that the colours are properly calibrated. After all, you've spent a decent amount of money on a large TV, so you want it to deliver the best possible picture, right?

By following these simple guidelines you should be able to get the very best out of your TV, no matter what size you end up buying. Happy viewing!

Do I have a good home theater?

I have a 52" Samsung Touch Of Color LCD TV (LN52A650), a PS3 for blu-ray movies and games, an XBOX 360 for games and streaming NetFlix, 7.1 Channel Denon AVR-1909 receiver, 4 Definitive Technology ProCinema 800 speakers (2 in front, 2 in back sitting on Definitive Technology ProStand 800 speaker stands), Definitive Technology ProCenter 1000 Center Channel speaker, and a Definitive Technology Supercube III 650W 10-1/4" LxWxH subwoofer. I am using HDMI cables and 14 gauge speaker wire w/banana plugs. Is that a good home theater? Personally, I have received a lot of compliments with people amazed at the sights and sounds from my home theater. I was wondering what others think here about my setup.

It's good if it looks and sounds good to YOU. It does not matter what other people say. Ultimately it is YOUR home theater system and YOU must be happy with it.

using old home theatre system (with old dvd player) through upscaling dvd?

I want to watch HD quality movies on my T.V. with surround sound.

If the only port on the old player is digital out you are out of luck ... short of hacking the wiring.

I suspect you will have to find a replacement amp/receiver. You don't need new and you don't need HDMI connectivity (although it would be nice) -- only a digital or optical input.

Consider a used or discontinued or open box model and you should be able to get something better than you now have for under $200.

Sorry.

Over a short length, the cables don't make a difference. What is different is that in the case of the component cables, the TV has to convert the component analog signal to digital. In the case of the HDMI cable, the signal is already digital. So there may be a perceptible difference if the TV doesn't do the conversion well.

Putting aside picture quality, the reason you should use the HDMI cable is that it carries the HDCP signals, component does not. If the source device, say a cable box, looks for the HDCP handshake, and doesn't get it, it Will not output an HD signal. So if you want to watch HBO in HD from a cable box, you have to use HDMI or DVI.

I use the component cables. Then again, I spent about $60 on them (gold plated ends, large conductors, thick shielding, etc) for both the video components and audio channels. And, I bought them a few years ago, before HDMI cables were even around. The difference in performance between top-end component video cables and HDMI cables is negligent. But, if you just use standard RCA cables - like the cheap ones the cable TV company gives you - you won't get as good of quality as the HDMI cables.

As HDMI cable connections become more and more widely used, we are often asked: which is better, HDMI or component video? The answer, as it happens, is not cut-and-dried.

First, one note: everything said here is as applicable to DVI as to HDMI; DVI appears on fewer and fewer consumer electronic devices all the time, so isn't as often asked about, but DVI and HDMI are essentially the same as one another, image-quality-wise. The principal differences are that HDMI carries audio as well as video, and uses a different type of connector, but both use the same encoding scheme, and that's why a DVI source can be connected to an HDMI monitor, or vice versa, with a DVI/HDMI cable, with no intervening converter box.

The upshot of this article--in case you're not inclined to read all the details--is that it's very hard to predict whether an HDMI connection will produce a better or worse image than an analog component video connection. There will often be significant differences between the digital and the analog signals, but those differences are not inherent in the connection type and instead depend upon the characteristics of the source device (e.g., your DVD player) and the display device (e.g., your TV set). Why that is, however, requires a bit more discussion.

Several people a day are searching for an interconnection solution by trying to connect HDMI to Component outputs through a cable for their high-definition equipment. Unfortunately, this isn't a matter of rearranging wires and having the right type of connector. There is a fundamental analog versus digital incompatibility problem similar to the upcoming digital broadcast TV switchover versus your current rabbit ears that receive analog broadcast signals. They aren't compatible and leave people confused just like the poor fellow in the commercial.

Component video is based on an analog format. With analog signals, the voltage signal on the wire is in a wave format and how the wave changes in height is what is important. Theoretically it has an infinite number of values between zero and the maximum, somewhat like the variable windshield wipers I had on an old Thunderbird. With the HDMI or DVI format, these are based on digital signaling. Digital as you probably have heard, uses ones and zeros with a series of pulses all at the same height and they are either present or missing. At the other end, processing equipment reassembles the information. In a 4-bit binary coding, you can have 1 of 16 different values as 4 1's and 0's assembled as a group can have 16 different combinations. So equipment at the other end of the cable that is detecting signals and looking for analog sine waves would put out total gibberish if it just received pulses of 1's and 0's.

Some solutions are very easy. If an HDMI or DVI output is available on both boxes, use those. The difference between DVI and HDMI is that HDMI caries the audio in addition to the video signals. But DVI is just as good and other than the expense of an extra audio cable, that will solve your problem. If you were trying to use the Component outputs because you already had the HDMI port tied up, they make HDMI switch boxes that are fairly inexpensive where you can plug multiple HDMI cables in on one side with one output on the other.

Via component cables an analog signal is transfered. HDMI is digital. Among other things this has the following advantage: As long as the data is transferred correctly you have the perfect image data arriving at your TV. There won't be a single pixel difference in what the 'sending' device puts out and what reaches your TV. Component signals (as all analog signals) can vary in quality and you can get disturbances.

So actually: At first glance HDMI cables might appear more expensive than component cables, but that's not entirely true. For HDMI the requiered quality of the cable is related to the length you need. If you only need to cover a short distance (two or three meters) a cheap cable will give you the best possible result that could ever be achieved by any means ... it's digital ... the cheap cable has no influence on the image quality ... just like the network cable your computer uses to hook up to the inet has no influence on the image quality of videos you download / stream.

Of course this doesn't mean component is bad: Among affordable analog video connections it's probably by far the best, but HDMI just has the advantage of not having to care about the signal being unintentionally "affected" by outside influences during transfer. So if you can: HDMI is the better choice.

When will the Xbox 360 Premium have HDMI in New Zealand?

Just wondering when the Xbox 360 Premium will have HDMI in New Zealand? I know the Halo one does and the Elite one. Are they getting rid of the old stock at the moment (as from yesterday the XBox Premium comes with Viva Pinata and Forza 2) also does anyone know if the Xbox 360 Arcade will be released in New Zealand with HDMI/65nm chip?
Thanks =D

The new bundles are meant to have HDMI consoles... but no 1 is saying for sure... should ask at the store.

The 65nm chip isn't coming to Oz or NZ for another year or so... they haven't even started selling them in the U.S yet until they get rid of the current stock.

HDMI is fast becoming the de facto standard in the world of AV, with many manufacturers now using it as their preferred connection in both high end and consumer level products alike. One of the great things about HDMI is that it is so simple: consumers no longer need several different cables to handle audio and video signals, with HDMI all you need is a single cable. It also offers exceptional quality output thanks to being a completely digital format, so if you are not currently taking advantage of HDMI let's take a look at what you are missing out on, and some of the reasons you should consider switching to this all-in-one wonder format.

Seeing as HDMI is a digital format, in theory if the connection is well made then there should be no loss of data or disruption to the signal so long as the cable you are using is compatible with your AV equipment. There have been many revisions to the HDMI format over the past few years, which have resulted in there being a number of different versions. Hence you may get some distortion if your cable and hardware are designed for slightly different HDMI versions, so be sure to check the compatibility before buying a cable.

As mentioned above, a HDMI cable carries both audio and video signals. It used to be the case that you needed two or three runs of cable just to make one connection, so by combining both signals into one cable HDMI is much cheaper since you only need to buy one run of cable to make a connection. It also makes installing new equipment much easier as you only need to plug in one cable, and of course having just one cable is much tidier than having metres of cabling running behind your equipment.

HDMI is fast becoming an industry standard for all home entertainment equipment. This is great news for consumers as it means that every piece of equipment will be compatible with one another. In the past consumers would often have to make compromises when buying new equipment based on whether it was compatible or not with their current set up. Of course manufacturers are almost certainly going to continue offering the option of using other connection formats, but it is expected that sooner or later HDMI will be the standard connection type for all common home entertainment equipment.

Another advantage of HDMI is that it is constantly being developed. Most of the research and development for a format stops as soon as the technology reaches the marketplace, for instance component video is still pretty much the same as when it was first introduced. However, as I mentioned above, HDMI already has several different versions as more and more features are added. It's this ever increasing functionality that really offers huge benefits to consumers, for one thing there's no more need to worry about a format having a lifespan anymore, HDMI has the potential to be around indefinitely as it is constantly developed and evolved.

HDMI really does offer everything: not only is it simple and easy to use, it also reduces mess and means that consumers no longer have to buy several runs of cable to make a single connection. As more and more manufacturers move towards introducing HDMI as a standard connection, the format is becoming more and more versatile, allowing you to connect any compatible unit regardless of manufacturer. It is also fairly future-proof thanks to the continuing development of the platform. With so many benefits, if you aren't already taking advantage of HDMI, you really have to ask yourself - why not?

Both of them are standards for carrying digital signals between a source like your set top box or Blu-ray disc player and your television. Hi-def Multimedia Interface ( HDMI ), which connects like USB, is a licensable audio/video connector interface for broadcasting uncompressed, encrypted digital streams. HDMI sprung from DVI. It has more bandwidth capability ( 5Gbps to 10Gbps ). Unlike DVI, which needs a separate cable to hold audio, HDMI uses a single wire for video and audio making the wiring less bulky. Not just that, HDMI cables can go up to 15m length, giving you the flexibility to design your living room.
HDMI supports automatic screen format conversion. It can immediately convert a picture into its most acceptable format,eg a 4:3 or 16:9 aspect proportions. Though DVI can produce similar picture quality, HDMI betters it in audio. Are HDMI and DVI compatible?

HDMI is fully'backward'compatible with DVI. But some HDMI features will be lost if you use an adapter like automatic screen format conversion and universal remote control.
HDMI Vs DVI

if you're purchasing both HDTV and a video player like Blu-ray Disc player, I recommend you go for HDMI for both. You can free up your living room of untidy wires that you find in other home theatres. You may use a single remote to operate all the devices connected and it provides the best video and audio.
Overall, I recommend HDMI because it gives you higher quality of video and audio, has smaller cables and gives you the universal radio control. Add the DRM ( Digital Rights Management ) angle to it, HDMI could be the standard in days to come.

Before I close off I feel I must mention the new DisplayPort wire technology which could potentially render both these technologies worthless. Although Displayport cables are seen as a direct replacement for DVI, it is said DisplayPort will run alongside HDMI.

how do i get my blu-ray disc player to work?

I put the disk in... the blu ray player is showing that the seconds are going by so I know it is playing. but it isn't showing up on my screen...

Connect the blu-ray player to your TV using a HDMI cable. This will provide you with video and audio with a single cable.

Turn on the blu-ray player. You don't need to have a disc in it. Turn on the TV and set it to use the input where the HDMI cable is connected. Use the "Video" or "Source" button on your remote to cycle through the inputs on your TV. For instance, on my TV, my HDMI inputs are Video7 and Video8.

That's all there is to it, really. If you aren't seeing anything on the TV, then it could indicate there's a problem with either the HDMI port on your TV (try a different port) or the HDMI port on the blu-ray player.
