Is This Normal To See Whiteness On The Edges Of My Lcd Tv When Viewing A Dark Image?
Nov/091
I own a Samsung 940MW LCD TV monitor and have been using it as both a TV and a computer monitor for two weeks.
Recently I became aware when watching dark scenes on TV that a slight whitness appears on the edges of the screen.
For those who own a LCD TV do you also witness this?
Is this normal for LCD TV’s to display an uneven dark image?
Is my LCD TV an older model and suffers the problems that newer LCD TV’s have resolved?

Is A 50 Inch Plasma Too Big For Normal Resolution Tv?
Nov/092
Hi —
I’m looking at a 50-inch plasma. It looks awesome in HD. But of course there’s limited programming currently available in HD.
Does anyone know how standard television resolution appears on a monitor this big? I would think it would be kind of blurry and annoying. What’s your experience?
How Often (with Normal Use) Do You Have To Change The Bulb In A Projection Lcd Tv?

I was told about every 3-4 years, and I think the guy at the store was trying to sell me a service plan using this bulb thing. My father has had an LCD projection tv for about 4 years now and he has never had a bulb problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Can I Connect A Television To Normal 2.1 And 5.1 Speaker Systems If The T.v. Has A 3.5mm Audio Out Socket?
Jul/092
I’ve been looking at answers to questions asking about connecting 5.1 speaker systems to televisions and video players.
I was surprised to find that, given the low prices which can be found for rewarding speaker systems, the answers suggest that you have to make sure you get a “pro logic receiver” as well.
The answers I have read say that, for example, a Hi. Def. television will connect to a 5.1 speaker system, but only through a pro logic receiver.
I’ve looked a bit for low priced pro logic receivers, and I was surprised to find that the very cheapest I can find is not far from 100 pounds.
So you buy a good enough, good priced 5.1 speaker system at 35 pounds, when you are not aware about needing the pro logic receiver, and realise that you must acutally pay 135 pounds for ‘cheap’ television theatre style speakers.
Is that roughly it, or am I mistaken?
Anyway, I thought that, if the 2.1 or 5.1 speaker system can connect by 3.5mm standard audio leads (I think all 2.1s do – also the audio connection standard of most MP3 player and portable compact disc player connections for output – speaker or headphone), you wouldn’t need a receiver. Is that right?
I am not worried just now about connecting a HD television, only non HD flat panel and old style televisions. Maybe HD televisions don’t have the 3.5mm audio out socket. But the televisions I am concerned with now do have this socket. And also, I am interested in if this is possible with a HD T.V. in the future.
It’s such an easy question (my main question), though it may seem complex above. Simply:
Can you forget about a “pro logic receiver” if the television and your speaker system, 2.1 or 5.1, can be connected together by the common 3.5mm socket audio cables?
And nearly finally – if it is normal to connect 5.1 speaker systems with a T.V. with the standard audio socket, is the sound quality as good as you’d want, selecting to have a theatre style surround sound system?
Or would connecting the T.V. and 5.1 speakers this way be vastly inferior to connecting a good 5.1 system, say a 70 watt sound output system to the television through a receiver?
[Also - do any T.V.s - HD TVs or not - have pro logic receivers built in - and if yes, are these generally more expensive models or is it a quite random thing?]
I’d really appreciate your help. I’m sure that good answers to these questions could really help a lot of really ignorant in this popular field, interested people like me. I can be quite slow, and I don’t doubt there are many like me when it comes to cables, socket sizes, T.V.s, videos, sound output, phono plugs, audio plugs, scart or not etc.
