My Westinghouse is flipping out and I don't know what's wrong. As of this morning, I have to run an HDMI to DVI conversion cable from my DVD player to the T.V.- I get a picture and sound with seperate audio cables. However, when I run the cable from the HDMI output on the satellite receiver...

Sorry for the very basic question(s). I believe the HDMI port on my monitor is in need of repair. I have a DVI input on the monitor. Will my satellite receiver and DVD player work if I use a DVI cord(s)? The back of the satellite receiver and DVD player have ports for HDMI, I don't see a port...

Hello: I'm interested in an LCD between 20-29 inches for my bedroom. Pretty tight budget though. Can't splurge for any more than $600. HD would be nice to have. Any suggestions? Thank you, mjr

Thank you, Joseph. mjr

Can anybody tell me what product(s) I should use to clean my LCD monitor? I'm looking to use something that could be laying around the house as opposed to buying a "special" product. Thanks!

Thank you both, Al and Robert. Much appreciated!

Hello: I finally hooked up my Oppo 970HD to my 42 inch HD LCD. I also connected my new Sony STR DG510, which seems to have a few too many bells and whistles for my needs. I bought the receiver at Best Buy for $200. It's definitely not high-end by any means but what I'm more interested in is a...

Thanks, Sean. More helpful information.

Mike: The satellite receiver has an output for the HDMI cable which is running to the LCD Monitor's HDMI input. The cable being used (provided by Dish-Network) refers to it being a DVI Digital and not an HDMI cable. I am currently using the monitor speakers. I have yet to hook up my stereo...

This gives me hope. One can get so caught up in all of this. I read through this site nightly and sometimes I become more confused- it's pretty easy. Thanks for clarifying the tv/monitor confusion, that's good to know. I do have a high-def satellite receiver (Dishnetwork). I am not familiar with...

Mike: Thanks for the info. I actually checked my satellite receiver and the port does read: HDMI which is leading out from the receiver to the HDMI port on my LCD monitor. Good news, the RCA audio cables that were also hooked up, are not necessary- I unplugged them this evening and the sound is...

Thanks for the advice Joe. My Westinghouse is just a monitor not a tv. That's why I'm not sure about the color enhancement options I have (or don't have with this monitor) but I must say, Wow, I am completely out of my league here. I have the Westinghouse (that I mentioned) a brand-new Sony...

I have the Westinghouse LVM42W2. I've heard good and bad about the monitor. To this point, the only issue I've experienced is the monitor does not have or is not known for it's color enhancements. Are you or anybody aware of how to treat this monitor because of it's lacking. Will calibrating...

Thanks. Does calibration = better picture/sound? I'll check out the link you suggested and read the text for the link you provided. Much appreciated.

I had my local Dish-Network provider hook me up with an HD Receiver for my LCD Monitor. He used, what I thought was a new HDMI cable that came with the receiver. However, the info. on the cable reads: DVI Single Link Digital. What are the chances that the cable he used is not the correct type...

Calibration? I've noticed several comments and suggestions to do this on one's LCD/Plasma televisions. Am I missing something with regard to LCD Monitors? I cannot find out how to calibrate my HD LCD Monitor. I've read the owners manual, searched the web etc. Does anybody have any advice or can...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I have something to work from with this information.

Hello All: I have a budget of around $200. I've always been a Sony fan but I haven't had to purchase a new receiver in about 17 years- not too sure what's out there. I did find a $200 Sony STRDG 510 600w and 5.1 channel but no reviews out there on the web at all- could be new? Any other...

Does anybody know if this upconverting dvd player will play HD dvd's? I've researched the product but either I'm missing the info. or I haven't come accross the answer yet. This seems to be the highest rated (for the money) upconverting player. Does anybody have any pluses or minuses they've...

I've posted here a couple of times but need some more direction. I purchased a 42 inch Westinghouse HD LCD Monitor and I haven't been too pleased with it. I am interested in purchasing an HDTV but my budget is pretty tight- around $1700 max. Are Sony "S" series worth the price tag? Is there an...

Thanks. One more thing, is this because it's satellite OR, would a digital cable hook-up be doing the same thing? I don't mind "lowering" my expectations but I really want to maximize my new LCD. Much appreciated!

Hello: I have noticed through my new LCD HD Monitor and Dishnetwork carrier, when I minimize a screen; while I'm searching for other programs, the small picture becomes extremely clear/more of a hi-def image. When I set the screen back to normal size, the picture becomes; not so clean and crisp...

Thanks. That points me in the right direction. I wasn't too keen on the home theatre systems but I thought it offered the most affordable way to go. What about the difference in 1080i and 1080p? Is the a major difference there? I won't have an hi-def player; will I notice the difference?

Thanks. That points me in the right direction. I wasn't too keen on the theatre in a box but......One last question. Is there a major or noticeable difference to "newbies" with 1080i or 1080p and it's relation to HDMI? I won't be getting an HD DVD player or any HD discs.

Thanks, I forgot to mention that. $500 is close to my max.

Hello anybody: I just bought a 42" LCD HD Monitor. I need a home theatre system (w/dvd player) that will support an HDMI connection; so that I may fully enjoy the 1080p capacity. Does anybody have some suggestions on decent systems out there? Thanks for your time. mjr
