Are LCD TVs Better For the Health Then Other Television Sets?

2010-03-14T07:14:00.001-07:00

When talking about one's health with regards to television watching, we usually refer to one of our most delicate senses: the sense of sight. Since the born of the great picture box that is the televisions we know them as today, an interesting adjective has been created. Yes, that's right: I'm talking about the term 'couch potatoes'.

The term is used to refer to a person whom seemingly stays in a static position, usually engrossed in some form of un-reactive entertainment. More often than not, the television set is the main culprit. It is not so much the television's fault but the person's habit forming actions. Nevertheless, this phenomena has resulted in an interesting discussion created by us in the hope of reducing the ill-benefits of watching excessive television.

What can we say? True, blue and great entertainment is why one craves for and televisions provides us with that and more - without a need for effort on our part. We are guilty! However, that brings up a point: Can there possibly be a TV that is better for health? And our answer is: Bring on the LCD TV!

Boasting clear displays, the LCD TV hands down beat the CRT TVs in image display. What this means is that our eyes are less strained, and hence has less chance of tiring so quickly. Everyone knows that eye strain, if prolonged, can result in many a spoilt eyesight. Not to forget, a fuzzy television screen or bad viewing images will more often than not result in us positioning ourselves closer to the television screen, causing more strains to our eyes to view the TV. LCD TVs, on the other hand, allow you great, clear and vivid displays even from afar. Is there any competition at all? LCD TVs do not guarantee you perfect eyesight: but if prolonged television watching is your form of entertainment then you will do you and your eyes a world of good by investing in an LCD TV.

Feed your eyes with great clear entertainment while protecting them from eye strains! Get yourself a LCD TV today and you will no doubt reduce eye strains aplenty.

Pioneer BDP-95FD Blu-Ray Disc Reviews For the Multi-Region Version

2010-03-11T06:34:00.001-08:00

The Multi-Region version is available from Planet Omni.

This player is amazing. It's clearly better than the first gen players, bdps1, even the bd91. there are a few little things to consider about blu ray. It SHOULDN'T play cds. if you have 1000 to spend on an Elite blu ray, then you should have good money, like 600 for a Cambridge azure or a like 24 bit cd player. blu ray lasers are very narrow, and will not read cds correctly, and to make them do so would be way more work than is considered worthwhile by the major manufacturers.

That being said, DROOL! best upscaling I have seen on any player to date, full streaming features, and the Pioneer Elite look. It's a really good player and I for one think that it's the best to date.

It plays CDs, as well as internally decodes advanced audio (minus DTS-HD Master) into PCM for transmission over HDMI or analog, for all the legacy receivers out there.

Very nice Blu Ray player though with many nice features. Loads like a computer not as fast as a regular player but no big deal. This model is much better than the last from this line. Picture and sound is so wonderful on a Pioneer Plasma TV.I also have the Elite VSX-91TXH amp to go with my system Great Work Pioneer but work on the prices ok.
WOW That is awesome player!

I am starting to flavor Pioneer the most.

According to the manual for the BDP-94FD, the connector diagram on page 11 shows 8 RCA connectors to support 7.1.

I doubt there will be any major physical changes between the BDP-94FD and the to-be-released BDP-95FD.

I don't claim any special expertise but my experience with Pioneer Elite has been my barometer. I bought a second DVD a couple of years back to support both DVD and SACD which my Denon did not. The Pioneer bested the Denon in both Picture Quality and musicality in my setup AND the Pioneer is still working, the Denon's motor went about 6 months ago. Sounds real simple to me...........

Pioneer's new Elite Blu-ray player, the BDP-95FD, is geared to audiophiles as much as it is aimed at videophiles: In addition to HDMI 1.3a and x.v.ycc color, it has bitstream output of even the highest audio codecs, including DTS HD Master Audio. In other words, if you just bought one of the latest, most kick-ass A/V receivers, you might actually be able to use its audio decoders.
The receiver does a few other things too, most notably acting as a media streamer for PC content from Pioneer's Home Media Gallery system.

Pioneer® Elite® BDP-95FD Blu-ray Disc Player

The new Pioneer Elite BDP-95FD offers unprecedented high definition picture and sound as a result of HDMI 1.3 connectivity. In addition to superb picture performance, the increased bandwidth capacity means the player has internal decoding of high resolution audio formats: Dolby® TrueHD, Dolby® Digital+, and DTS-HD(TM) as well as bit-stream output for all advanced audio formats including DTS-HD Master for 7.1 surround sound performance. The BDP-95FD can faithfully reproduce the 1080p 24 frames per second (fps) rate needed to preserve feature film sequences as the director intended. The Pioneer Elite Blu-ray Disc player incorporates HDMI Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) to ensure streamline integration with other HDMI-CEC enabled high definition theater components. This feature allows users to control a whole home theater setup with a single remote for maximum convenience capability.

The new Blu-ray Disc player offers Pioneer's exclusive Home Media Gallery that allows users to directly access and playback music, movies and photos stored on a home PC. The user-friendly home networking feature also provides IP networking for immediate downloading and of new digital media files straight from the computer through the BDP-95FD to a connected flat screen television. The Pioneer Elite Blu-ray Disc player is compliant with Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA), Window and Apple computers video, Windows Vista or Windows Media Connect as well as Microsoft playsforsure(TM) DRM technology.

How very happy am I that I was a Pioneer Elite "Target"...The VSX-94 is beyond comprehension, when matched with the Bdp-95, life becomes absolutly, hilariously in harmony..that, and after it took two weeks complete a very effective hook up, I WAS AT ONE WITH ELITEZEN MANUALS....
I just picked up a Pioneer Elite BDP-95HD from the Pioneer Store in Costa Mesa.

I will keep this first post for answers to common questions so that new owners get answers quickly.

Does the Pioneer Elite BDP-95HD generate the DTS-HD Master Audio Bitstream that can be decoded by the receiver / processor?

-- Yes. My Integra DTC-9.8 displays 'DTS-HD MSTR' when I select DTS-HD Master Audio sound track from disk. Audio is un-frig'in-believable!

Are the load times improved over the 94HD?

-- Using POTC: COTBP as a benchmark, it took 22 seconds from pressing START on the remote to the POTC "loading..." message to appear and a total of 38 seconds for the Disney screen to appear

How does the PQ of the 95FD compare to the 94HD?

-- Very similar - 95FD just slightly sharper

How well does the 1080p24fps work:

-- Flawlessly

How is good is the DVD SD upconversion on the BDP-95FD?

-- Excellent (better than the BDP-94HD and the HD1)

REPORTED ISSUES or PROBLEMS: None.

I have been watching Kingdom of Heaven Blu Ray while listening to the DTS-HD MA sound track (Integra displays DTS-HD MSTR :-) Sounds un-frig'in-believable.

Player seems to be operating flawlessly. Boot up time very acceptable. Responds to remote immediately. It is difficult to tell if there are any PQ differences from the PS3 that I had but the DTS-HD MA is mind blowing...

It just took 35 seconds from pushing the close button on the remote to Kingdom of Heaven to begin playing...

With Disk in DVD player and player on stop, using POTC: COTBP it took 22 seconds for the POTC loading message to appear and a total of 38 seconds for the Disney screen to appear...

After setting it up I can't help feeling déjà vu all over again. As you can see in the pic it does look nearly identical to the 94HD and HD1. I do like the class look it has though. I really like that high gloss piano finish look. As Tony said it takes about 35 seconds for titles to start playing. Which actually is a pretty BIG improvement over the two older models. Just like the others initial set up is a breeze. I do like the Pioneer start up screen better on the 95FD. It just looks cooler. I am not only comparing this unit to its brothers (or cousins) but also to the samsung 1400. This ELITE unit costs more but you feel like it is money well spent.

Once again I love having the resolution button on the remote. Being able to change it on the fly is so much nicer then having to stop the movie and go into the set up menu (like the 1400 and HD DVD players). If there is one feature other manufacturers could learn from Pioneer that would be a good one to start with. Also, having 1080p/23.98 (24) done without issues is a breath of fresh air. Toshiba has been struggling as many of us know so it is nice to get a unit out of the box (just like the 1400, 94HD and HD1) that can do 1080p/23.98 without any EDID issues. I have not spent a great amount of time with this unit but from what I have I can say it is THE best Blu ray player on the market.

The picture Q is very colorful and very sharp. It bests the very impressive (especially for its price) samsung 1400. Not by a lot in terms of pic Q but when you add the entire package together you know why the Pioneer is more. Picture settings, menu options, great remote (which is light years ahead of the competition) and of course a great picture with great sound. Speaking of sound I have only done a couple of comparisons so far but it is too easy to select bitstream passing in the menu. No confusion here. You are either sending D.D. or DTS via HDMI or PCM... Your call. That easy. I will do more on audio soon but sending the audio to my receiver (Onkyo 905) sounded great just as I expected. It also sounded good the few minutes I had the 95FD doing it. I am not going to say which is better because I do not want to open that can of worms again. So do not ask here. PM me.

I am using the new Sony VPL- VW60 "Black Pearl" (which is the 3rd pic) for all of my comparison so far. It handles 1080p/23.98 like a champ. I can also send it straight into my crystalio II and then tweak the image before sending it to the VW60 in 1080p/23.98. The Pioneer 95FD gets along with all of my other components which I do not take for granted these days.

And yes I am making reference to the XA2 and A35 which are stubborn when it comes to sending 1080p/24 to some displays. In direct comparison to the 94HD the 95FD is obviously a more flexible unit with a little quicker load times. Being able to pass HBR audio directly to the receiver for decoding is a really cool feature. Especially if you purchased one of the newer ones that can decode it. The picture Q is very close. I keep going back and forth. Going straight to my pj it does look like the 95FD is just a little more sharper but their brilliant colors are nearly identical. I will say the home media gallery looks more refined on the 95FD. I have never really got into that feature before but now I am intrigued so I may just jump in!

Bottom line is if you have the 94HD and do not care about the bitstream audio feature then there is absolutely no reason to dump it for the 95FD. However, if you do not and are interested in getting the best Blu ray unit in terms of features and pic/sound Q then look no further than the 95FD! I hate to keep picking the new Pioneer units as my favorite Blu ray unit but honestly the other companies are still two steps behind. The 95FD is the starter in my set up. More to come (SD DVD versus the A35 and XA2 and even 1400) as well as a few more thoughts on audio...BTW, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (BR) is looking and sounding awesome on this unit! Pick up a copy!

Well, I am pleasantly surprised to post that the 95FD has excellent upconversion. Much better than the 94HD and HD1. I even put it through the HQV Blu ray benchmark tests and it handled them very good. Especially my favorite stadium torture test! And as tradition lately it even made my adult videos look great! It is right on par with the A35 and XA2. I will work harder tomorrow and do real side by side comparisons (1400 included) but my first initial impressions are very good to excellent... More to come..

Great report Joe. Thanks. Looks like a winner. I too LOVE the "classic" look and finish of "Elite" equipment. This is definitely the machine I will purchase when my Onkyo 885 Pre/pro arrives.

Have you compared a 5.1 PCM track coming out of the PS3 vs. 95? I know there should not be a noticeable difference, but if you would not mind doing a comparison I would be curious to know for sure.

It is not surprising that DTS-MA sounds better from the 95 as we are getting the full signal vs. only the 1.5 core of the PS3. Can't wait to hear this!
The DTS-HD hi res is from the King Of New York's DTS HD soundtrack (I am reviewing) and the DTS-HD MASTER is from the Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer soundtrack which states it is DTS-HD MASTER...

As I posted earlier in this thread the 1400 is very close but the 95FD produces a sharper image. I also prefer it for SD DVD upconversion. I also prefer all the other cool features like the resolution button on the remote. It is much nicer being able to change resolutions on the fly then having to hit stop and go into a set up menu. Especially when you are trying to compare them! I have spent awhile this afternoon playing different blu ray discs but tomorrow I will do my comparisons between the XA2 for SD DVD upconversion. I predict the 95FD will be on par with the XA2. We need to find out which chip it is using because it is by far much better than the 94HD and HD1... More to come tomorrow...

If the 95 can match the XA2 on SD upscaling this is a tremendous plus. The XA2 makes new DVDs almost look like HD and the only players so far that can do the same job are the very Hi-end Denon's or players costing 5 times more. The samsung 1200 has the same Reon chip and should also be great but lacks the new audio features. Depending on your tests I will be a new 95 owner soon.

I have the bdp-95fd and the pdp-6010fd display. Extremely happy with it. Firmware support has been excellent. I am using it with a TacT 2.2x digital preamp, TacT digital Boz amp, Escalante Pinyons and a pair of Escalante subs. My connection is through the coax digital output. I have had an signature upgraded Denon 3930 in my system using the same set-up and I must say the sound quality and bass impact blows me away on the bpd-95fd In stock form, the Pioneer bpd-95fd is an excellent performer in terms of audio and video.

Given my system can only process two channel audio through the digital output, am I getting the two channel version decoded Dolby Digital Plus?
Me too, I have the 95 and a 94 receiver and it is quite impressive in the sound department. It is a definite benefit to have the ma tracks. If you have good equipment.

High resolution picture and sound performance come together in the new Pioneer® Elite® BDP-95FD Blu-ray Disc® player introduced at the CEDIA Expo today. Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. is showcasing its highly anticipated player, the industry's first to offer bitstream output of all advanced audio formats including: Dolby® TrueHD, Dolby® Digital+, DTS-HD(TM) High Resolution and DTS-HD(TM) Master Audio.

The BDP-95FD ensures a near cinematic experience with its ability to handle 1080p 24 frames per second (fps) reproduction rate preserving a feature film's original sequence. Taking advantage of HDMI® 1.3 connectivity, the new player provides smooth, pristine imagery and dynamic 7.1 surround sound to deliver the full emotional impact of Blu-ray Disc feature films as the director intended.

Next Generation High Definition Performance

Leading high definition home theater, the BDP-95FD delivers unprecedented picture and sound as a result of HDMI 1.3 capability. The new generation HDMI version is designed for smoother connectivity to emerging 1080p flat panel televisions and other high resolution devices. With increased bandwidth capacity, the Pioneer Elite Blu-ray Disc player can transfer larger amounts of uncompressed high definition video and audio resolutions as well as standard DVD that will immerse viewers in an unforgettable viewing experience.

Stunning colors and enhanced picture reproduction are complimented by the player's additional support of lossless digital audio formats Dolby® TrueHD, Dolby® Digital+, DTS-HD(TM) High Resolution Audio and DTS-HD(TM) Master Audio.

This new convenience feature synchronizes the Blu-ray Disc player with other CEC-enabled products and controls an entire setup with a single remote. With an easy to navigate graphical user interface, HDMI-CEC requires minimal user effort while ensuring premium performance and maximum entertainment.

Cinematic Picture At Home

Mastered at 1080p 24fps, Blu-ray Disc movie titles preserve a feature film's original sequence to faithfully deliver stellar image quality. Pioneer engineers designed the Elite BDP-95FD Blu-ray Disc to handle and output high performance 1080p 24fps signal for natural, pristine film reproduction as the director intended.

Home Media Gallery

Digital media fans can playback their favorite downloaded video and music files as well as personal photos straight from a home PC hard drive to their high definition television through Pioneer's exclusive Home Media Gallery.

This home networking feature provides users a rich, high definition graphical interface with fast navigation to search, select and play desired content. Home Media Gallery offers IP networking for quick access and downloading of new digital media files straight from the computer for immediate viewing through the BDP-95FD on a connected flat screen television. The Pioneer Elite Blu-ray Disc player is compliant with Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) sources, as well as Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, and Media Center editions, as well as 3rd party DLNA server software available for both Mac and Linux based computers.

Some Blu-ray players have Dolby TrueHD, some even have Dolby Digital+, DTS-HD High Resolution or DTS-HD Master Audio, but Pioneer's BDP-95FD is the first to pack all four - guess that's why they call it the Elite.

Pair it up with one of the latest high-end A/V receivers and you'll be able to hear a pin dropped in the background as Bruce Willis takes out a helicopter with a flying cop car (again) in Die Hard 4.0.

As well as its audio treats it ticks the usual high-end 24p, HDMI 1.3 and HDMI-CEC boxes - the latter for taking control of all your HDMI equipped gear from one über remote.

Natch, it's also compliant with Digital Living Network Alliance (or DLNA for short) for accessing content on other compatible kit and it'll stream content stashed away on your PC using Pioneer's Home Media Gallery system.

Purchasing a Acer TravelMate 4000 AC Adapter

2010-01-22T15:00:00.001-08:00

The laptop ac adapter is used to recharge the battery in a notebook and to provide dependable power for operating the notebook for long periods of time. If an power adapter for Acer Travelmate fails it will not recharge the battery and it will not provide power to operate the laptop without a battery. You can test it first to see if it is defective. If it is time to get a new adapter for the travelmate computer, here is the basics you need to check when choosing a new one:

Output Specs Voltage and milli-Amps(current)
Regulated /Un-Regulate
Connector plug size/Output Polarity
Step 1. Determine the desired output specs of the AC adapter. For Travelmate 4000, the output current is 3.42A and output voltage is 19V. This can usually be found on the old adapter, the electronic device, or the instruction manual of the electronic device. When selecting an adapter, you will want to match the voltage & current as closely as possible. If an exact match is not available, as the excess voltage could damage the electronic device, it is better to to choose a new adapter having the same voltage and higher current than the specifications require. This will work too and provide more power to your laptop.

Step 2. Decide if the adapter should be regulated or unregulated. A regulated AC adapter guarantees that the output voltage will always be constant. Therefore, regulated AC adapters are also generally more expensive than unregulated ones. It is ok to substitute a regulated adapter for an unregulated one (the downside being added cost), however, Do Not use an unregulated supply in place of a regulated one!

Step 3. Check the polarity of the Acer TravelMate 4000 ac adapter. Polarity determines the direction that current flows; if the current from the adapter flows the wrong way for the intended electronic device, the device may be damaged. It is important to be sure that the polarity of the adapter and the laptop computer match. NEVER choose an adapter with the wrong polarity as this can damage the equipment.

Step 4. Determine the size of the adapter plug. Plug sizes are normally measured in millimeters(mm). The plug size of Acer TravelMate 4000 is 1.7mm x 5.5mm. If the plug size is the only thing wrong with an adapter, meaning that its voltage and current ratings, whether it is regulated or unregulated, and its polarity all match, it is possible to splice a new plug onto the adapter, as many electronics stores do sell just the plug in different sizes. However, you must make sure that the new plug maintains the same polarity as the old one, meaning that the wire that connected to the outside surface of the old plug still connects to the outside of the new plug, and that the wire that connected to the inside surface of the old plug still connects to the inside surface of the new plug.

Step 5. Read the labels on your original Acer TravelMate 4000 power pack before choosing a new one. Buy a new power cord that meets all of the requirements mentioned above.

How to Color Profile Your Monitor and Printer With ColorMunki

2010-01-19T15:45:00.001-08:00

As a photographer I am constantly challenged by the colors on my screen not matching up with what I saw in the camera or not matching on the printer when I print out the production images. Today, I am reviewing the ColorMunki Photo monitor and print calibration system. The ColorMunki Photo system consists of a Swiss engineered spectrophotometer calibration device and software. The system is capable of calibrating your monitor, matching your monitor and printer and calibrating your projector. And it does all of them quite well.

I purchased my ColorMunki unit on Amazon and paid under $400 for it. After unpacking the unit you will need to calibrate the unit for the first time. The instruction book included with the unit is quite terse and not very helpful. Luckily for me the on-screen instructions and video helped decipher the steps.

The task of calibration is not quite a user friendly as I would want (or else I am a little more dense than normal users). It consists of following the directions on the screen while turning the big dial on the side of the unit. I had a harder time than usual because the dial was very hard to turn and I had to perform the steps several times before it took. There are instructions on the screen and they are color coded to walk you through the process. You would think I could handle it a lot easier than I did.

After you finish with the initial calibration of the unit you will see on your screen. Displayed is the main menu where you will have the choice of:

Match my printer to my display
Profile my display
Profile my printer

Profile your display

The first task I did was to profile my display. After pressing the button the program will guide you through the process. You will first place the ColorMunki unit in its pouch and hang the unit as shown on the front of your screen. The provided carrying pouch has some sand weighted handles that flip over the back of the LCD screen to expedite the process.

You then start the program and it rotates through several color screens to develop a monitor profile to be used on your monitor. You can use the ColorMunki Photo to calibrate multiple monitors that you own and each will have its own unique color profile. The profiling program takes your screen through a series of colors: red, blue, yellow and shades between black and white.

Match your monitor to your printer

Once the monitor calibration process finishes the program creates a monitor profile that you can save. You the can proceed to the next step in the process of matching your monitor to your printer.

You are first asked to print out a color chart on the printer that you will be using for printing. You should use the type of paper you will be printing (glossy, matt, fine art, etc.). You will perform this process for each type of paper you use.

The color charts consist of several rows with squares of color in each row. The color charts are then used by placing the unit on top of printout and sliding ColorMunki unit down each row of the chart until the screen instructions say to move to the next row.

This part was fairly tricky in that I had to perfect a smooth drag across the row of colors. I had to do the first rows about six times before it registered and I got better with each row until toward the end where I could get them in one pass.

After this printer profiling process you will get an.icc printer profile (used internally by your photo printing program like Photoshop during the printing process) that is unique to your monitor and to your printer using one type of paper. You will need to run the printer profiling process one time for each type of paper that you use.

The ColorMunki Photo is a powerful monitor and printer calibration system that results in finely tuned color profiles that match your monitor with your printer. For those that make a living from photography this will set you apart. Now, the only thing you have to do is to take pictures that are high quality, because this system will report true colors on both your screen and your printed output.

Examples of color corrected images can be seen on my web site at: Randy Jackson Images.

Randy Jackson is an experienced Arizona photographer. His photography is about nature and events such as public functions and sports. He writes about photography and technology on his blog and displays his work at a photography site. More information can be gleaned about Randy at his blog: Random Thoughts of a Photographer.

Samsung LCDHD - Should I Choose an LCD Or Spend the Extra Money For a Samsung LED TV

2010-01-16T22:00:00.001-08:00

The samsung LCDHD has made incredible strides to overcome what it was lacking in contrast and reproducing a "true black" background. samsung LCD flat panels have even given a little ground to samsung LED tvs by incorporating LED technology in their higher priced LCD TVs. This caused a bit of a stir in the industry. So to complete the vie for supremacy, Samsung LCD flat panel TVs also come with a lot of extras such as USB ports and direct access to internet content.

But really, what is the trade off? LED is capable of getting that true pitch black needed for improved HDTV viewing-without any light bleed out. That is to say with an LED TV you could have a black background with-say the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man in the foreground. On an HDTV LED set, the Stay Puff guy should be clearly defined. On traditional LCD sets, Mr. Mallow would have a slight halo around him. Is it noticeable? Yeah, to some it is.

The new Samsung LCDHD has taken great pains to reduce the fundamental issues with this and at this point they've come the closest to eliminating light bleed-out-or a nice shade of dark purple where everything should be black. But a pure HDTV LED set can run you around $1,000 or more for more or less the same size tv. We're talking about a difference in the shade of black that Rembrandt probably wouldn't notice right off.

The Samsung LED tvs are slimmer. Samsung has managed to get their thickness down to something like 1.2". Along with being slimmer they also end up being lighter (weight wise) than the Samsung LCDHD models.

Forgetting about black-on-black for a moment, let's look at the other HD issue: motion blur. The big advantage HDTV LED has over true LCD is motion blur. However, even that is being overcome by Samsung. Pixel response time to avoid any degree of blurring needs to be roughly below 16 milliseconds-Samsung has gotten theirs down to four. Other factors not related to your flat panel can contribute, but eliminating one is a giant step forward. Samsung LCD HD has come through on this promise.

You have the facts, but really whether or not a $500-$1000 price increase for LED is justified by your immediate needs is up to you. The differences are not night and day at this point; Samsung has blurred that line when they un-blurred HD motion.

Canon PowerShot SX10IS Review

2010-01-14T09:00:00.001-08:00

I upgraded to SX10IS from the prior S5IS model, and I must say that it was definitely worth it. I should mention that I'm in no way a power user, a professional photographer. I don't make my living off this camera, but I am very fond of photography as a hobby. I need good quality photos without much hassle, and I am quite picky about this!

This model comes with lots of nifty features, but there is still lots of room for improvement. I will start off by showing the pros, the reasons I fell in love with this camera.

- Proper face recognition. The feature kicks in from the default settings, no need to adjust anything. Point to your friends, click the shutter button and the camera will figure out the faces and adjust the lighting.
- Intelligent red eye removal, without the use of an extra reduction lamp or pre-flasher
- Memory card door is now separated from the battery door. At times I just want to take out the card from my camera and replace it with a blank one. With previous models I had to switch the camera off, remove the batteries, then remove the card. I was wasting precious seconds.
- This model beats its competitors at the quality of pictures at high ISO settings. With the continuous improvement from model to model since early versions, this was quite expected.

Now let's get to the downsides.

- I would like to see a bigger rotating display. Granted, it's usable as it is now, but having it half an inch larger would be so much better.
- The compression of movies leads to loss of quality. I would like to have an option that would allow me to choose the level of compression and warn me about the possible losses. Right now it doesn't say anything. I haven't used it much for film making though, maybe the reduction in quality was just a wild opinion. However, this is definitely worth testing before you buy the camera.
- The shape is a bit boxy and the grip is a bit abrupt. However, this is a matter of personal taste, you might like it this way.

All in all, the SX10IS is a great model, suitable for all low to middle end camera users. The set of features it comes with are easy to understand by even the most un-techie photographer.

Getting the perfect camera, is never an easy thing, especially with the way digital technology is constantly changing. Fortunately, there are plenty of helpful websites online, that can narrow down your search and help you find the camera with all the features important to you.

Affordable Laptop Repair For the Do-it-Yourselfer

2010-01-03T11:00:00.001-08:00

To tell you the honest truth, it's NOT expensive to get your laptop fixed (except those "Geek Squad" guys down the street will charge you $50 in store to install a stick of memory or $150 if you want them to come to your house to do it!!) and it's not hard to do it yourself either!

A little back story.... We used to buy 53' TRUCKLOADS of returned merchandise from a major national retail chain, and we would test everything and sell it as is on that big auction site without repairing anything. Others wanted the defective merchandise to either repair themselves or use for parts to fix their own broken items.

We did this for quite some time and were quite successful at it too! One day we thought... Hmm... we have 200 laptops here, why don't we open them up and see if we can fix them ourselves? So we did! We tore them down at my kitchen table and fixed a ton of them no problem!

Soon we learned that certain laptops had certain design flaws and what was needed to fix them. We were able to fix what the store told you was un-fixable quite easily just by TRYING to fix it and not just giving up and saying "I dunno, throw it away."

For example: My buddy has a shop where the sells laptop parts, and the HP DV6000 series power cable always breaks so he sent some to a specialty manufacturer and had his own replacement cables made that are BETTERY QUALITY than the original part! Anybody with an HP DV6000 series (anything DV6xxx series) laptop that needs the cable and is lucky enough to find his site will be a very happy person!

The problem is they want you to think that you have to be a "Geek" to repair your own laptop computer and that it's very difficult to do! They charge you crazy prices for the easiest repair to make you think it's too hard for you to do!

Where do you think these guys get their money for their millions in advertising and their fancy cars? OUT OF YOUR WALLET THAT'S WHERE, and that's why they have to charge so much.

So what do you do if you have a broken laptop? You go to these so-called Geeks and they have no idea what to do even though it's what should be a well known design flaw with your laptop like your HP DV6000 ribbon cable that stops your laptop from turning on.

How come the Geeks don't know how to fix it, but two guys sitting at their kitchen table with a couple screwdrivers do?

Ya, I have a problem with anybody that charges you $250 to fix your laptop when we used to get laptops from these guys that were junked out and the only problem was it had a bad stick of RAM in it!

I could go on for days really, but the point is don't give up on your laptop if it has stopped working, even if some Geek or Nerd told you to. My good friend can probably help you out through his discount laptop parts store and even if he can't you should still poke around online and look for alternatives to the Geeks and Nerds that tell you to toss it in the garbage!

RF PCB Layout Guide

2009-12-25T02:00:00.001-08:00

This is a general guide to the best practice printed circuit board (PCB) design rules for a high frequency or radio frequency (RF) circuit. Following these rules will help you to avoid some of the most common pitfalls in RF design. Poor PCB layout is one of the most common causes of inadequate transmit or receive performance and EMC failures due to spurious emissions. Ideally an engineer undertaking a PCB design should be familiar with the IPC standards as these provide a rich source of information and best practice on the general principles of PCB design.

When planning to layout an RF PCB, the first place to start is to contact your preferred board manufacturer and obtain a set of their guidelines and manufacturing capabilities. This will include the minimum track and gap widths, drill sizes and other key parameters. The board manufacturer should also be able to provide you with their standard layer stack and material data, this will include the copper weights, dielectric constant, and the thickness of core and pre-preg layers in multi-layer boards. Unless your circuit is extremely simple I suggest that a 4 layer board is used this ensures a continuous ground plane. When using a double sided board it is very difficult to ensure that the ground plane is un-broken. Another advantage of a 4 layer board is that the dimensions of the micro-strip for a 50 or 75 ohm design are more manageable. Use a micro-strip calculator to determine the required track width for the design impedance and ensure that it is within the manufactures capabilities, if not you may need to discuss the layer-stack with the manufacturer and select a non-standard build. Another point to note is that in my experience attempting to maintain separate ground nets for different signal area's usually causes problems rather than any benefit and is largely a throwback to the days prior to multilayer boards, a single low impedance ground plane is the safest route.

It is quite acceptable to use FR4 for boards up-to 2.4GHz unless the highest level of performance is required. In certain circumstances it is worth specifying the board as controlled impedance to provide consistent RF performance.

Having determined the track and board geometries the next step is to address the component placement. Ensure that the RF components are laid out such that all the RF tracks can be kept on the top surface with minimum length and changes of direction. Start with low signal level areas at the antenna or RF input and work backwards towards the baseband or digital area. Keep digital and power supply areas away from the analogue RF circuitry and keep all the RF components on one side of the board.

Where your RF tracks can't be run in a straight line, use mitered bends if your CAD system supports them, never use right angled bends on RF signal lines. If mitered bends are not supported use a series of 45 degree bends or arcs, this minimizes impedance mismatches which would increase losses and spurious emissions.

On RF layouts it is common to provide a ground flood on the top layer and to "stitch" this to the ground plane by using multiple via's. If you intend to do this, ensure that the copper is kept a suitable distance from the RF tracks and components otherwise the impedance will be lowered and cause more harm than good. The via spacing can be 5-10mm apart there is very little benefit in stitching via's being closer than 5mm apart.

Tracks to ground from RF components should be kept as short as possible and use 2 or 3 via's in parallel via's to minimize the impedance.

A Newborn Baby Gift Basket is Still a Popular Choice For Giving

2009-12-23T06:00:00.001-08:00

Whether it is for you or a friend or relative, there will likely come a time when you will need to choose newborn baby gifts. There are many choices for someone looking for presents for infants. There are a variety of wonderful ideas for creating ideal newborn baby gifts that nurture a child's developmental growth.

An option that is always a good choice is the newborn baby gift basket. This choice is very popular as it gives the sender a variety of things to give as a gift. You might even say it is a way for giving quantity over quality. Giving gift baskets as presents for babies has grown in popularity over the past decade and they are continuing to grace baby showers and maternity hospital rooms across the country.

Every newborn baby gift basket can be as unique as you want it to be. Some people choose to design their own newborn baby gifts around the concept of a gift basket. One example is to create a beautiful present out of a basket purchased from a local craft store. Fill it with items that are on the couples gift registry.

Other gifts that are growing in popularity are personalized items. These gifts are created with the specific baby in mind. There is one drawback to making it too personalized if the gender of the baby is unknown before being born. But it is possible to create semi-personalized presents if you do not have the child's name ahead of time by going with general terms like "baby", "boy" or "girl".

The majority of people do like personalized newborn baby gifts though. They are a sentimental reminder of one's special day. When the name is not know, however, gift givers have been known to deliver an un-personalized gift only to make it personalized after the birth. This usually makes things easier for everyone. In any case, such a sentimental gift will be cherished for many years to come.

Gift ideas are sometimes hard to come up with on your own. Perhaps a Samsung LN52A650 52-Inch 1080p could brighten someone's holiday or birthday, for example. There are other gift ideas at Holiday Gift Buddy.

Facts about Laptops

2009-12-20T09:00:00.001-08:00

Laptop is a useful device which has the ability to offer high portability to the users. It is simple to carry these notebook computers wherever you go. If a laptop computer violates the user's efficiency in their working environment, it is called as "un-ergonomic" laptops. These laptops do not have integrated keyboard and screen. Personal computers were designed with integrated key board and screen in a single unit. But the manufacturers were criticised for the discomfort offered.

Which type of user you are?

It is essential to decide about the type of usage of the device. Then only you can choose to buy the appropriate one. There are two types of users available all over the world. One is an occasional user and the other a full time user. The occasional users rarely sit with laptops and on the other hand full time users always work on the system. Whatever may be the user type, it is essential to know the techniques to use the laptops effectively.

What about the dimensions of Laptops?

You can use laptops as a replacement of desktop computers. The viewing area of the laptops has come up to 17 inches. It is not advisable to prefer large screen for laptops. It is because you have to carry it around. It may uncomfortable for you to carry it when its screen size is very large. It is easy to get small size laptops in the UK market. Go for ultra portable laptops if you are a frequent travelling businessman.

Resolution and screen size are the two main factors to be considered while buying a laptop. When you buy a 12.1 inches flat screen, you can get resolutions up to 1024 x 768 in pixels. This type of resolution is said to be "XGA" resolution. When you select the screen size, it is essential to check whether the text can be read comfortably or not. Your input devices can be used easily.

What is the normal weight of laptops?

Weight of the laptop has to be considered to avoid lifting highly weighted laptops during travels. The weight of the system has to be reasonable. Here the word system denotes all the accessories like power supply, spare battery, zip drive, CD RW drive, external disc drive etc. It is better to go for light weighted laptops like 6 to 10 lbs.

PCs & The Environment - Are You Damaging The Environment - Sitting There, Right Now?

2009-12-16T23:00:00.001-08:00

A great many of us now find computers an indispensable part of everyday life, whether it be at work or home. But consider this, a study by the United Nations discovered that an average 24kg desktop computer with monitor requires 10 times its own weight in fossils fuels to manufacture. Once water and other chemicals are also added an average computer uses 1.8 tonnes of material before it has even begun its working life. Then you have electricity use and after a few years it will probably need updating with a new one, and where does it go then?

Although in the West computers have been relatively mainstream for sometime, sales continue to increase by about 10% each year. There have already been well over 1 billion computers sold in the world since their inception and given the rapid development of countries such as China and India, computer ownership will only accelerate.

Given these amazing statistics it's no wonder the environmental impact of computers is steadily filtering down to consciousnesses of consumers and is beginning to be picked up by politicians and companies.

So, how can you help?

Well, the best thing to do is to thoroughly research the computer you wish to buy. Read up and if possible ask as many questions as possible to determine what the environmental impact of the PC or notebook is likely to be. The good news it that many top computer manufacturers are taking this issue increasingly seriously and you will discover that some computers are greener than others. Several manufacturers, including Sony, Fujitsu Siemens, samsung and Toshiba all now offer computers without damaging BFR and PVC in their motherboards and many major brand manufacturers have committed to eliminating these chemicals from all their computers within a few years.

Perhaps the most key recent moment for the green computer movement was when Apple announced the MacBook Air in January. The environmental impact of this notebook computer took key prominence in the announcement and there are several points of note. The notebook case is made from recyclable aluminium, there is no arsenic or mercury in the display and the motherboard is BFR and PVC free. It's packaging uses 56% less volume than other Apple notebook packaging.

Consider though that there are plenty of other green computer options out there and that the environmental impact of manufacture was not mentioned during the release. However, the fact the environmental issue was mentioned at all by America's third largest computer manufacturer indicates that the revolution could get well under way in 2008.

So, when you are next shopping for that new computer remember to keep some environmental questions in the forefront of your mind.

At Buy MacBook Air you will find a guide to the new MacBook Air as well as reviews and discussions about it.

Heavy Duty Laptop Battery Chargers

2009-12-15T15:00:00.001-08:00

The first portable computer was known as Osbone 1 which was developed in 1981.

This heavy and cumbersome machine used CP/M operating system which means Control program monitor who was commonly used in 1970s before the MS-DOS wiped it out after the introduction of the IBM PC in the year 1981.

Finally professionals were able to move around with their data and information on a portable computer. The only problem was that it had to be plugged on an electric socket since it could not use batteries.

Kypro 11 was developed as perfection rather than a competitor of Osbone 1. It had twice the size of Osbone 1 when it came to the screen features and when purchased new, it came with a software bundle and it had twice the storage capacity and double density floppy drives as opposed to that of Osbone 1.

Next in line came the Bondwell 2 which was not released until 1985 which came as a result of the operating system decline of CP/M. The Compaq was introduced in 1983 at a time when standard computer platform was looked upon IBM Personal Computer.

Other laptop models that followed Epson PX-4, the NEC PC 8401A,PX-8 and NEC PC-8500. None of these four units came with standard hard disk or floppy although they made use of the CP/M modified system in the Rom.

On November 2005 the then UN Secretary General together with Nicholas Negroponte unveiled a rough prototype of the laptop computer.

When it comes to the choice of a good laptop battery charger, culpability is a factor that should highly be considered when purchasing a laptop battery charger.

It is always advisable to check on the user manual to ensure the necessary specifications have been followed in order to avoid purchasing a charger that might damage the computer battery.

It is important to go for the best quality because the charger immediately becomes part and parcel of the laptop just the same as the battery.

There are several types of laptop battery chargers and one of them is the solar charger which basically converts the energy got from the sun into electric energy through a process known as the photovoltaic effect.

The solar chargers are preferable because they are environmental friendly because when they recharge the batteries then the batteries can not contribute to the land fills.

Therefore be sure to go for a quality laptop battery charger.

LCD TVs Are Fast Becoming the TV Standard

2009-12-07T14:00:00.001-08:00

If you look around, you can easily see LCD technology. From the digital clock that beeps away at you in the morning to the microwave that served up your last late night snack, you have been utilizing LCD technology for years, most likely without even being aware of it. The digital watch on your wrist, the laptop at your office, even the MP3 player in your gym bag makes use of LCD innovations.

These are only a couple of examples of everyday electronics that use LCD technology. The most trendy and frequent use of LCD technology nowadays is the ever popular LCD television.

Liquid Crystal Displays or LCD TVs are those that use flat, thin displays made up of a series of monochrome pixels that are in turn displayed in front of a reflector or other source of light. That is where the image display comes from. In most cases, the technology used is that of the Thin Film Transistor or TFT that is a specific type of field effect transistor made by layering thin films intended for metal contacts along with dielectric and semiconductor layers. As such, the LCD television is more different than other image producing technologies such as a plasma display or older cathode ray tubes.

At one time, the general consensus was that LCD technology was only good when used on televisions of smaller size and that it could not contend with plasma technology when it came to larger screen sizes. With the advent of seventh generation panels by such giants as samsung, Sony, Westinghouse Digital, Sharp and LG Philips, those beliefs have proven to be false.

In October of 2004, LCD screen sizes where as large as 45 inches and were readily accessible by several companies and the Sharp Corporation took center lead with the introduction of the first 65 inch panel TV in history. By 2006, LG Philips had introduced the largest display yet with their 100 inch LCD television.

Today's LCD TVs are universal, in that they include a multi system tuner that displays NTSC, SECAM and PAL standards. They also offer electronic transformers that automatically use 110/250 voltage without any issues, as well as universal grounded adapter plugs. Also, LCD televisions are not going to be limited to the living room and now serve as computer monitors across the world.

According to recent news, manufacturers continue with plans to invest obscene amounts of money on the production and development of LCD television technology for a long time. It is highly un-likely that LCD technology is going anywhere, in fact, if recent trends continue for LCD TVs, then better advancements are yet to come!

The Samsung UN55B8000 - Energy Saving Big Screen Television

2009-12-06T12:00:00.001-08:00

This is the third in a series of reviews based on the new range of LED televisions recently released by samsung. Like I mentioned in the two previous reviews, LED technology allows flat screen televisions to save up to 40% on their electricity consumption. There has been a large backlash from environmental groups at the increased use of LCD and plasma televisions, because in many cases they use more electricity than the old cathode ray type televisions we used in the past. LED technology hopes to redress this balance and is likely to become the de facto screen technology for manufacturers in the years to come.

samsung UN55B8000 - 55 inches of Perfect Picture Quality?

The UN55B8000 shares a number of features with its smaller cousins - the UN46B6000 and UN46B8000, what sets it apart is its huge screen. LED technology already adds to the viewing experience, but to see this applied to a larger screen, really highlights how much better these LED screens appear.

The addition of samsung's picture technology - Auto Motion Plus 240Hz, also helps to enhance this experience by analyzing every frame and adjusting it if there is the appearance of blur. This makes sports programming come to life - not quite as good as actually being inside the stadium, but not far off!

The UN55B8000 is also great for gamers. Its huge, crisp, color enhanced LED screen brings gaming to life and enhances the experience. The addition of 4 HDMI ports means that there is no shortage of ways to connect your games console or other peripherals.

Samsung UN55B8000 worth the expense?

There is no doubting that the Samsung UN55B8000 is not the cheapest flat screen television out there. However, in terms of value for money it offers a number of advantages over cheaper rivals. Firstly, you get a fantastic cutting edge design - the screen is super sleek at only 1.5 inch wide. You get a picture quality that could be argued as amongst the best in the world.

The LED technology helps the environment as well as saving you money on your electricity bill, and it will also future proof your investment, as LED technology is likely to render LCD and plasma technology obsolete over the next few years. However, the main reason to buy this TV is you get 55 inches of near picture perfect quality that makes watching any film or television programme an awesome visual experience.

You can get more information from the Samsung UN55B8000 dedicated website & find many Samsung UN55B8000 reviews there.

How to Save Money When Buying Brother Ink Cartridges

2009-12-05T07:00:00.001-08:00

Brother printers are one of the most cost effective printers currently on the market due to a number of key factors. First and foremost all new Brother Inkjet Printers use a separate ink tank system which offers the following benefits:

•Cartridges are predominately un-chipped resulting in the printer using all of the ink in the cartridge rather than running out after a specified number of pages.

•Individual colours can be replaced as they run out rather than a tri-colour system which requires the entire cartridge to be changed whenever one colour runs out.

•The cartridges are relatively large compared with competitors' offerings; for example a LC1100 cartridge contains 20.5ml meaning a full set of four collectively contains a massive 82ml.

•As the print head is actually inside the printer itself, you only ever replace the ink tank rather than the entire printing mechanism every time. This results in lower buying costs for both original and compatible products.

Because of the simple nature of the printer cartridges it is possible for companies other than Brother to create compatible ink cartridges which are sufficiently different to the originals to remain legal while offering lower printing costs. Customers looking to save money may benefit from using these compatible cartridges to reduce their printing costs. A compatible cartridge is a brand new alternative to the original cartridge and should offer improved cost per page prints without sacrificing print quality.

Brother Laser Printers also remain one of the most cost effective options on the market, again due primarily to the reasonable cost of both original and remanufactured cartridges coupled with a relatively high page yield per unit. A Brother TN135 cartridge for example will produce 5,000 pages out of the black and 4,000 pages per colour which compares favourably with a HP CB540 series cartridge which will produce 2,200 pages out of the black and 1,400 pages per colour.

An alternative for those looking to save money on their printing costs is to start using remanufactured toner cartridges. These units are original Brother toner cartridges which have been fully used then taken back to a recycling facility where any worn parts are replaced then the cartridge is refilled and tested before being boxed up and sold as a remanufactured product. These cartridges offer significant cost and environmental savings without sacrificing print quality.

Canon Powershot SX10IS 10MP Digital Camera - Does it Measure Up?

2009-12-01T12:00:00.001-08:00

If you are looking to buy a Canon Powershot SX10IS 10MP Digital Camera with 20x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom then you have arrived at the right place, you will not get all the fluff, that the normal review sites, will give you. You will get research based upon extensive user feedback from the people who have actually used and abused this product, that coupled with a genuine rating of whether we consider the product to be worthy of the purchase price. I will try and point out, what was considered to be whats good about this product and what was not so good, based upon real people with no axes to grind...

Pros

First off the camera felt very solidly built, if not a little heavy for a point and shoot model, but it did however feel well balanced throughout.

The SX10 IS stood up adequately to heavy usage, giving no issues, the controls are intuitively placed also. The 2.5" LCD screen is standard, but if I am honest, I would like to have seen a 3" screen for that little extra, and of course you would expect for the screen to pivot for easy viewing of subject (self portrait for example). What was very useful was the speed at which the unit booted up and was ready to shoot and it was also mentioned how useful the low battery warning was utilized, surprising how often , you can get caught out. As for the picture, well the 20x Optical zoom was considered more than acceptable. especially when used in conjunction with image stabilization function, that I know is available on less expensive Canon products, namely the Canon 1100 IS 8MP.

Cons

The feedback was less enthusiastic with the lack of grip on this unit, very slippery in damp conditions, which doesn't help if the subject is moving. Although the controls are intuitive the menu is far from that, proving a little messy, when it was un-familiar. The built in flash is pretty poor, but OK for day to day use, or in emergencies, this will often depend upon your own needs and wants. Pictures taken in low light, could be better, this is because of the densely packed pixels on the sensor, any ISO over 200/400 is un-usable.

Our Research on the Canon Powershot SX10 IS 10mp Digital Camera Suggests:

This product is proving to be a worthy successor to the S-series and G-series before that, it appears to have taken the minor concerns with those previous models and improved upon them, however as a result, it has a few concerns of its own, that you might find disappointing. If I were looking for a digital camera with excellent viewing Verdict: If you are looking for a digital camera, that is capable of giving you results that can hack it with the big boys (digital SLR), then you just might of found it.

Take a look at the information gathered and compiled, from my user feedback website, where you can review many electronic products based solely on USER FEEDBACK FORUMS to help you, in your research phase of this product.

Using Reverse Phone Books - Search For the Owner of Any Phone

2009-11-30T14:00:00.001-08:00

Reverse phone books are a great tool to use if you need to find out who owns any unknown phone number. If you are getting prank calls, hang ups or need to check out your husband you can get detailed info with just a phone number.

For years private investigators and other agencies have been using phone search services. Now anyone can pay a small fee and get access to the same service the professionals use. All you need is a phone number with area code and you can find out the persons, name, address, carrier, plus depending on what service you are join you will have access to much more private info. Like criminal and court records, marriage and divorce, financial, people search, and more.

You will be amazed at the sort of info you can dig up on a person. Even if you never met them. Plus all searches are confidential, so they will never know. If you want to stop a prank caller cold, run their number and print out their info. Call them back and read off their name and address, tell them you know where they work and what kind of car they drive. This will almost always stop the calls immediately.

In most cases prank callers are someone you know hiding behind a cell or pay phone. I guess they think they are UN traceable. Not so anymore. You can run a search on any cell, home, business, pay, pager or mobile phone unlisted or not.

If you are not sure you can do a preliminary search and you should at least get the city and state. To get the good info you will have to pay a small fee. Here is a tip I learned the hard way. Go for the yearly option. If you do a one time search and need to do another one later you will have to pay again. With the yearly or lifetime option you will have unlimited use of the system.

Reverse phone books can be used to check out your new boyfriend or girlfriend. All you need id their number. So are they really telling you the truth? Check them out. Some site are scams so you need to watch what one you decide to spend your hard earned money on. Stick to one of the top rated ones that get good reviews. Plus they maintain and keep up on their data since they can afford to, unlike the free ones that don't work anyways.

Is that site you are going to join a scam? Get the insiders report and review on the best reverse phone search providers here - http://reverse-call-search.com - Find out what the professionals use.

Selecting the Right Digital Projector For You

2009-11-28T22:00:00.001-08:00

Projectors, especially the high end home theatre models represent a significant purchase including the replacement cost of the projector lamp, which will eventually need replacement. For the novice, selecting the right projector for themselves is a journey which in many cases results in a wrong decision.

It is best to become at least a little bit educated about what the options are and the strengths and weaknesses of the different types of projectors on the market. High Definition projectors are now available and the standard choice, given the future of high definition broadcasts. There are basically three types of high definition projectors: LCD (liquid crystal display) HDTV projector, DLP (digital light processing) HDTV projector, and the newest technology, the LCOS (liquid crystal on silicon) HDTV projector.

An LCD projector produces a brighter sharper image but at certain resolutions and size of the image, pixilation may occur. A DLP projector will give better black levels (provides a better image when the image is a night seen or of an indoor scene in an dim room), although the image details are usually less sharp.

While price is a very important factor in selecting a projector, it is important to make sure the model selected will meet you picture viewing and other needs.

Other considerations include: 1. what will be the room light conditions, as rooms with un-shaded windows will require a higher lumens rating; 2. if the unit will be ceiling mounted, will air conditioning be available as hot air rises and excessive heat may lessen the projector fan's ability to cool the lamp; 3. type of bulb may vary between UHP - Ultra High Performance, UHE - Ultra High Efficiency (most common), or metal halide lamps; 4. how many and what type of connection ports there are; and 5. what size projector do you need (if portability is involved).

While the cost of a DLP HDTV projector ranges around $2,000 or more, an LCD HDTV projector generally is less than $2,000. Recently LCOS HDTV display has become popular given its higher resolution of 1920x1080 internal resolutions, although the cost of $5,000 to $20,000 may be prohibitive.

Finally, note that the cost of replacement lamps range from $200 to $600 so inquire what that cost would be for your model.

Samsung LN32B460 LCD HDTV Review

2009-09-29T00:00:00.000-07:00

I was in the market for a 32-inch HDTV a couple of weeks ago. I am just an average consumer who is looking for a LCD HDTV that is not too expensive, has good looks and a decent video playback performance. When I found it, it all came in the form of the Samsung LN32B460 32-inch LCD HDTV.

The Samsung LN32B460 has a 31.5-inch screen that has a 1366 x 768 resolution. For that, it is capable of playing 720p HD videos. It also has a 50'000:1 dynamic contrast ration and a 6ms response time. For audio, this model comes with speakers (20W) that uses the SRS TruSurround HD technology.

The Samsung LN32B460 looks really good with its glossy black bezel and sleek design. It is mainly black in color with just a thin stripe of dark red at on the bottom bezel. The bezel is also fringed with a layer of transparent plastic that gives it an edgy look.

Due to its size, this model makes a perfect LCD HDTV for small spaces and rooms. My unit is placed in my bedroom where I often use it to watch moves and play games. So far, playing games and watching Blu-ray movies with the Samsung LN32B460 was a great experience. 720p may not be full HD but it is more than enough for a 32-inch model. The audio from the speakers was also loud enough to fill the room without the help of external speakers. Currently, the Samsung LN32B460 32-inch LCD HDTV retails for around $534 each.

Samsung UN46B6000 LED TV - Is This the Future of Televisions?

2009-09-28T23:40:00.000-07:00

The big problem with a flat screen tv is that although it is beautifully thin compared to the big box televisions which we used to sit in front of, is that they are a power consuming nightmare. Our old television set may have been bigger in dimensions but ironically enough, it actually used less electricity.

Enter The Age Of The LED Screen

Plasma and LCD screens have a big disadvantage in terms of the environment and your electricity bill - they use far too much power. To get the brightness, detail and clarity that is needed for these screens they suck up a fair amount of precious electricity.

The big television manufacturers have been working on this problem for a number of years and are now bringing to market a number of new models based on LED technology. LEDs use 40% less energy compared to standard LCD and plasma models, providing a nice saving in yearly running costs, whilst helping out the environment. LEDs also provide a richness and true life quality to the picture providing a realistic black and a pristine white, that plasmas and LCDs are unable to do.

Samsung UN46B6000 LED Television

Samsung are among the first manufacturers to bring this new LED technology to life in their new range of televisions. The use of LED technology has allowed them to slim down the casing so that the Samsung looks amazingly sleek compared to its fatter designed LCD competitors. To enhance its thin design and make it stand apart from the boring black cases of its rivals they have also incorporated a translucent colour around the edges of the TV.

Samsung haven't scrimped on the technological features of the UN46B6000 either. They have developed solutions which reduce motion blur and judder, and a 120hz refresh rate; giving amazing clarity for fast moving images such as in sports or gaming.

Samsung's InfoLink service can instantly update news,weather,stocks and sports information with just a simple touch of the remote. In addition to the ethernet link, Samsung have side mounted a USB2 port so that you can connect USB storage device to watch your movie or photo collection on this fantastic looking screen.

Conclusion

The Samsung UN46B6000 is a fantastic purchase if you're looking at cutting your electricity bill or would like to do your bit for the environment. The other great benefit of this TV is that you're future proofing your purchase. LCD and plasma TVs will be phased out over the next few years, so its probably a good idea to get behind what is set to become the new industry standard.

You can get more information from the UN46B6000 dedicated website & find many Samsung UN Series reviews there.

Samsung LED DLP HDTV

2009-09-18T00:48:00.000-07:00

If you're considering a television purchase in the near future, you should take a serious look at a Samsung LED DLP HDTV.

Although plasma technology has been very popular for a number of years, that's about to change. Vizio, which was the second largest supplier of plasma screens in the US, announced in the second quarter of 2009 that they would discontinue manufacturing plasma sets altogether. Obviously, the home television market will be DLP and LCD.

Samsung LED DLP HDTV models have overcome the few small problems associated with previous versions of all DLP (digital light processing) televisions.

One complaint of some DLP (rear projector) sets in the past, was the anomaly known as the 'rainbow effect.' This was brief flashes of perceived red, blue, and green "shadows" observed most often when the projected content featured high contrast areas of moving bright/white objects on a mostly dark/black background. The scrolling end credits of many movies are a common example, and also in animations where moving objects are surrounded by a thick black outline. Without trying to understand the technical aspects of the cause, the main thing to understand is, it was associated with the spinning 'color wheel' that was a component of previous versions of Texas Instrument's incredible DLP technology. In the recent Samsung LED DLP HDTV models there is no color wheel, hence no 'rainbow effect.'

Also, one other drawback to previous DLP sets was the fact that they used high powered lamps as the light source. Not only did these lamps draw a significant current, making them costly to operate, but the the lamps also needed to be replaced every few years. The costs for replacement was usually in the several hundred dollar range.

The new Samsung LED DLP HDTV models do not have the issue of lamp replacement. Since they use an LED (light emitting diode) light source, there will never be any lamps to replace. The LED engine will last the life of the television (and them some). Also, since LEDs are solid-state devices, they draw very little current when compared to the previous lamps, they are therefore much cheaper (up to 40%!!) to operate.

Combine those features with the fact that the Samsung LED DLP HDTV offerings also have a much broader color gamut, and are up to 40% brighter, and you have technology that is near perfection. That's why the DLP system is now being used in professional movie theaters.

This writer still owns an Hitachi DLP HDTV which has been extremely reliable and still has an awesome picture, but when compared to any Samsung LED DLP HDTV model, the differences become obvious. Although I will keep the Hitachi for a bedroom, I decided on a new Samsung LED DLP HDTV a couple of months ago. I can guarantee that you won't regret your decision to buy a Samsung LED DLP HDTV.

For just a small fraction of what an average plasma cost a few years ago, you can now have a theater-quality HDTV in your living room. If you're going with a larger screen, maybe over about 55", I would definitely recommend a Samsung LED DLP HDTV, although their current LCD line is impressive also.

Samsung LED DLP HDTV - Television Perfected

2009-09-17T04:14:00.000-07:00

Analog signals and the older NTSC standard of yesteryear was enjoyable, HDTV and digital transmissions took television to a new level, but the new Samsung LED DLP models have refined high resolution HDTV into something truly breathtaking.

Although Samsung is producing some astounding HDTV models presently, Texas Instruments should also get some credit for their amazing DLP technology. As the owner of an Hitachi HDTV that utilized the original version of DLP (digital light processing) technology, I can testify to the impressive results this projection technology can achieve.

However, the new Samsung LED DLP televisions have achieved near-perfection. Although I never personally experienced the 'rainbow effect' on my Hitachi, that has long been one of the few complaints of DLP sets. Previous versions of DLP used high-powered lamps as the light source for the image projection. It also used a rotating 'color wheel.' This setup occasionally produced an anomaly known as the rainbow effect. The rainbow effect was brief flashes of colors which were not part of the image data.

The new Samsung LED DLP models now use an LED (light emitting diode) light source, or 'light engine.' Because of this improved technology, there is no longer any high-powered lamps to replace, and without a color wheel, there is also no longer any chance of the rainbow effect. Samsung LED DLP technology has taken an awesome technology and made it even better.

Also, since there is no longer the expensive, relatively short lived lamps to replace, the new Samsung LED DLP sets become less expensive to own. The savings however, aren't limited to just the fact that you don't have to pay the several hundred dollars (depending on model) to replace the lamps every few years though. Because the Samsung LED DLP technology uses solid-state light emitting diodes as the light source, they cost much less to operate overall. The LEDs draw much less current that the previous lamps. They also don't generate the heat of the high powered lamps of previous versions of the DLP configuration.

The Samsung LED DLP televisions also have a broader color gamut, actually being able to produce more colors that most video sources can even output!! Combine this with the fact that the image can also be produced up to 40% brighter, the contrasts ratios are now measured in the hundreds of thousands to one, or even now, in the millionths to one, such that blacks are actually black and not just dark grays, and you have HDTV technology that is near perfection.

As if all of that isn't enough to get anyone wanting the best HDTV available, whipping out their credit card to order, the super-slim models that are now part of the Samsung LED DLP line, are so thin that they protrude from the wall (if wall mounted) so little that you're swear that the beautiful image must be some sort of magic!!

If you're ready to purchase a new television, and you want the best HDTV available for the best possible price, make sure to take a serious look at the impressive Samsung LED DLP models.

For just a fraction of what you would have to pay to get a plasma television with a comparable image as the new Samsung LED DLP sets, you can purchase a huge, ultra-slim model from Samsung. Do the research for yourself, and you'll find the Best LED TV, whether it be an LCD or DLP model, is being manufactured by Samsung.

Light Emitting Diodes (LED) In the 21st Century

2009-09-14T23:39:00.000-07:00

The outlook for Light Emitting Diode (LED) use is improving. Historically, the LED has been most commonly used as a state indicator, for example, as a "Power On" indicator. The light output from the LED was low, but the advantages for the designer were that the LED energy efficiency was terrific, was capable of "instant on" operation, and that the reliability and lifetime were very good. Another advantage is that an LED contains no hazardous materials like mercury.

There has been much advancement in LED technology in the last few years, allowing new applications. The manufacturing cost of LEDs has been relatively expensive because the process used a sapphire substrate. Researchers at Purdue University have developed a process for replacing the sapphire with inexpensive silicon. Currently, a 30-watt LED bulb can cost about $30, but this number should come down dramatically with the application of the new research.

Another reason for the changing outlook is the need for energy efficiency. A law passed in 2007 requires all light bulbs to become more energy efficient. Over a three-year period, starting in 2012, new bulbs will have to use 25 percent less energy, for the same light output, as incandescent bulbs. Currently, the only light technology in widespread use that meets that standard are compact fluorescents, which use 70 percent less energy. Today, compact fluorescents account for less than 20% of total bulb sales.

With a more efficient light source, energy is saved from the lamp using less electricity, and less air conditioning, to compensate for the heat from the wasted lamp energy.

An interesting example of a new LED application is cities replacing their incandescent traffic light bulbs with LED arrays. This is happening because the electricity costs can be reduced by 80% while simultaneously reducing maintenance costs (the LED array lasts 10X longer than the incandescent bulb).

Let's assume that a traffic light uses 100 watt bulbs. The light is on 24 hours a day, so it uses about 2.4 kilowatt-hours per day. If we assume electricity costs 8 cents per kilowatt-hour, it means that one traffic light bulb costs about 20 cents a day to operate, or about $75 per year. If we assume eight traffic bulbs per intersection, that's about $600 per year in electricity per intersection. An LED array should consume less than 20 watts, so the electricity use drops to less than $120 per intersection. For a city with many intersections, that can add up.

Another application is the use as a light source in High Definition Televisions (HDTV). The LED is being used as both a backlight in LED HDTV systems, and as a projector light in rear projection HDTV systems, including the DLP HDTV systems. A good example of an LCD system is the Samsung "Series 9" LCD HDTV that uses LED backlighting with local dimming technology. Local dimming allows for very high contrast ratios. Samsung projects that by 2010, more than 30% of all LCD HDTV sets will utilize LED backlighting instead of the fluorescent bulbs currently used. The first LED lamp DLP system was the Samsung HL-S5679W, introduced in 2006, which also eliminated the use of color wheel.

With fluorescent lighting in a HDTV, the lamps need to be replaced every few years. The replacement can cost about $200, and there's the hassle of scheduling maintenance. The equivalent LED bulb should last more than 10X longer. In practical terms, the LED should last the lifetime of the overall system.

LED is a new, old technology that is changing our world for the better.
