    How Many Plasmas Going?

    Not so sure about the SOE. But truly visions of As the Meter Spins comes to light when plasma is mentioned. Run 'er 'till she pukes I guess. But that's me. 150 watt incandescent bulb eats 150 watts. Same in LED form....18-25 watts.

    Sony X90CK 4K hookup

    It's been awhile since needing to do sound tweaks. Also using a Sony soundbar with arc. If I'm not mistaken. Aren't most of the sound settings now done in the soundbar menus? I looked in my action menu at sound settings. Speakers set to audio system (not tv speakers). All of my sources, sat...

    Enable the digital audio out on Pioneer Elite Pro110FD

    Hey hi. I see in the TV manual in section 12, pg 72 actual: For audio, the system supports the following • Linear PCM (STEREO 2ch) • Sampling frequency: 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz. I also saw the tricky fine print revealing the optical output being disabled. I think it's just that: Please note...

    Is my 65" LG tv going bad?

    How far off the track this has gotten. I've never used CR for anything. Nor any site with visible or hidden manufacturer support. It's places like this where I prefer. Or in the home audio heyday Stereo Review and such. You remember. Stacks of test equipment that some of us drool over having...

    Is my 65" LG tv going bad?

    Sorry. Had to. Who took what pill? Sony and Samsung over priced? Once overheard at Harbor Freight passing by the power tool dept from a wise shopper.

    Is my 65" LG tv going bad?

    I would quit stabbing in the dark and hoping for it to magically fix itself. You have ruled out the AV receiver as the cause. LG TV's are plagued with the issues you are having. YouTube "LG 65 inch lines". There is the Scotch tape fix. For all of the real estate the screen occupies, there are...

    dumbest reasonable TV

    Not so long ago my internet was out for 24 hours. I kept right on watching satellite on HDMI 1, and my Fire Cube kept on searching for an Internet connection with its Kitt from Night Rider scanning LED. NO smart tv apps griped at me for no internet. But of course if I tried to launch one of...

    dumbest reasonable TV

    Jesus! Unless I haven't had enough coffee all of them are dated and 1080p. No 4k? wow. I have no more. I simply LOVE my Sony XBR55X930E. It does as much or little as I want it to. But even ALL of the best of the best new tv's have sucky speakers, even if they try to make them good.

    dumbest reasonable TV

    Well one thing is I do use an Amazon Fire Cube. It has many of the applications in it that the Sony has. The voice interface Alexa sits there idle until you address it "Alexa" and then "do something". Without touching the remote I can say Alexa turn the tv on. Or Alexa change tv to HDMI 2. But...

    dumbest reasonable TV

    Lets see here. Initial setup. I haven't performed a factory reset in forever. Your satellite receiver plugged into the tv. Select Input> HDMI 1 and watch tv. If you have a Fire device plugged into HDMI 2 and want to watch it....select INPUT and scroll down to INPUT 2. Easy. I'm not sure of...

    dumbest reasonable TV

    Looking back at the original subject. Look. The cheap no name TV's out there consider as "kit tv's". Ones made from components compiled from different manufacturers put into a nice injection molded housing. I work on audio equipment, computers, you name it. I'll work on my friend's gas stove...

    dumbest reasonable TV

    A computer monitor with HDMI inputs is about as dumb as you'll probably find out there. So dumb you have to get off your butt to turn it on and off and switch inputs. If all you do is use your TV to watch HDMI inputs you do know you dont have to hook up Ethernet/Wifi dont you? They still work...

    Two attributes of current TV displays

    Not sure I understand thoroughly the completely disabled part. If you're speaking of smart tv's there is always the option of disabling the Internet. As far as remotes go. By far the best investment is my Logitech Harmony Ultimate remote. It can do away with every remote I use. As a matter of...

    lamp of the wireless LED projector is damaged

    Yeah I'm guessing halogens don't like the filaments jarred especially when hot. Or fingerprints either. Time for a new one. Make sure it's not a chinesium knock-off.

    well shut my mouth!

    and like navychop mentioned. aging. something you may not notice because it's subtle and happens over a long time. i'm google lazy today. compensating? telling you to turn up the blue? sending a service tech out to recal. the color? payola? i'd have to believe sony, samsung would manufacture...

    that's my fraidy-cat thing about oled! *ding* ... having to be careful of burn in. my feeble mind thinking the term 'organic' means dont leave the lettuce in the sun too long. again the tech has advanced to the point where it's a no-issue. it's just in some cases where on my sat the signal will...

    oh. probably just because of the issues oled tech displayed early in their life. it's been a few years in development and i'm glad you've had great luck. kind of like the one bad apple thing. led displays came out and all you heard about them was bad pixels. personally i've yet to have a dead...
