    New Blu-Ray Player

    My aging HT system decided not to recognize discs anymore. I tried cleaning the drive to no avail. Even the tech person decided to give up. After traveling to at least 3 places in town ... (yes, it's a small two horse town) no one had a blu ray player. Well, a new one was ordered online. Here...

The available choices may be somewhat narrow with the following parameters: 1) 50+ inch screen. 2) 3D capability 3)...

    How to set up a tv monitor to cable...

    Thank you for your ideas. Excellent suggestions. The switch is set to 1080. I did try the HDMI, but the monitor, for some odd reason won't recognize the input signal from the cable box. Maybe, it is quirky. :) For example, I can plug my iPad into the HDMI slot and get it to work well, but...

    How to set up a tv monitor to cable...

    Here is the scenario: Last week, my desktop monitor died. I'm not sure why, but it simply died. LG wanted $200 to fix it, so I bought a new FullHDTV monitor, which I really like. Here is the problem. I would like to use the full capabilities of the included remote, which has PIP and other...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Rise of the Planet of the Apes

    I absolutely agree that this film should garner a view. It's not really a sequel, prequel, or remake, but it is more of a re-imagination, if you will. The plot suggests a new storyline which departs from the original series. I watched the movie on Blu-ray and the production is exquisite. I...

    New Television Ideas for 2012

    The other day my LG 56" dlp tv suddenly stopped operating. I had noticed an unusual hum in the background, but I blithely ignored the sound. As it happens, the technician discovered that the color wheel was "broken." He'll be back tomorrow to replace the part for about $130. In addition, I've...

    Which one is the bang for the buck

    I would really defer to the experts on this question. However, I thought I might add an opinion. I'm really not convinced that a 7.1 speaker system will provide that much more than is available with a 5.1 system. Maybe, I am wrong, but I just don't think there is much support for 7.1 speaker...

    SD vs. HD cable service

    Thank you for the information. I believe that the new service is a tremendous improvement on the old service (also cable,) which I have retained for the time being. I detect a notable improvement on all channels, so I'm happy with the service. The new service is myLGtv which is an IPtv...

    SD vs. HD cable service

    I am getting a new cable service tomorrow. I live in a small town in Korea and full-fledged digital service is as of yet, unavailable. The service promises to deliver HD service for a few select channels and SD quality for the remainder. I would like to know exactly what to expect from SD...
