HDMI is one of the best cables out now. If the source of your picture is in HD then your tv will display it through your HDMI cable. Check your source DVD and see if its even recorded in HD.

Question by luella: Deciding between a 32 and 37 inch LCD – what is the real minimum/best viewing distance for these?
I think I am on the borderline with a 32 seeming a bit small and 37 a bit big. How far away should you really be, and do you notice faults a lot more on a bigger screen? I am about 124-128 inches away, but that was including a bit of diagonal slope in the eyeline.

Thank you for any advice, really want to get this decided but don’t want to regret choice!

Answer by Akfek_Branford
The recommended viewing distance from the set is about twice to three times the set’s diagonal size. So, if you have a 32″ set, the ideal distance would be between 64″ and 96″ or about five and a half and eight feet.

What do you think? Answer below!

Question by fiendteaser: Does a digital cable picture look bad on a lcd 1080p hdtv?
A co-worker is selling their 40″ lcd 1080p hdtv to get a bigger tv. I want to buy it but I only have cable because its included in my rent. But I don’t watch a lot of tv (except for some sports); I want an hdtv mainly for gaming and movies. I’m worried that cable will look so bad I won’t be able to watch any sports, etc. on tv.

Best answer:

Answer by j m
It’s not too bad. I have a 1080 and it is still very watchable for sports and everything else on regular cable. When you get the T.V. I would mess around with the settings and fine tune it to what looks best to you so you get the best picture possible. Regular 480i (cable tv) doesn’t look much different on an LCD than it does on a tube TV.. But if you have a cable company that supports High Definition cable and has high definition cable boxes, it might be worth investing in if you decide you want to watch a little more television. Sports are broadcast in HD with a lot of cable companies now and it’s awesome to watch. Something to think about… Good luck and enjoy it if you get it

Answer by Elyakim L
A CRT TV uses a lot of energy. The initial power up takes a big jolt and from there it sustains itself while wasting more energy. Think of it as a Incandescent light bulb, putting out heat. When that wasted energy on heat could be used to help output more lumens. I don’t know much about plasmas because I don’t think they will be around much longer, once laser diode TVs are developed that is. Laser diode TVs are still being researched, but once created they will be as brilliant as a plasma and as long lasting as a LCD TV (liquid crystal display).

To find out the wattage you need to use the equation P=I*E
“P” is equivalent to Power “I” is equivalent to Current and “E” is equivalent to voltage. “P” is expressed in Watts, “I” is expressed in Amps and “E” is expressed in Volts.

Standard wall outlets put out about 120 Volts of Alternating current. All you need to know is how much amps this unit consumes. Look on the back of the TV and it should give you an amp reading. Multiply this number by 120V and you should get your answer in Watts. Keep in mind that Sometimes Amps are expressed in mAh (milli amperes)

So an old CRT TV would consume a lot more power compared to a LCD flat screen tv of the same size. An LCD is energy efficient just like those weird Compact Flourescent Light bulbs.
