Is there a need to calibrate big screen TV?
It depends on the type of big screen. Large plasma or LCD displays need no calibration although there are some set up procedures in most that will help to optimise the image when it is installed.
Projected television displays may need an amount of calibration. The latest rear projected televisions use LCD or DLP technology and these will require nothing more than a focus adjustment. Even that adjustment is not available on many models.
Older projectors use three CRTs (vacuum tubes similar to older televisions). These televisions need to be set up to produce a square image positioned properly on the screen and then the red and blue images need to be aligned to the green image. It's a process that can take several minutes to an hour or more. Once done, the image tends to remain stable unless the television is moved. As the television ages, it will normally benefit from another set up that will improve the image quality. Each model has a similar set up process but the manual will provide full and detailed instructions.
Does a plasma tv need to be refilled?
A plasma screen uses tiny cells of low pressure gas to generate an image. Once the cell is filled with the gas during manufacture, there is no way to repair the cell. If the gas composition is disturbed by damage to the screen, the only repair is a screen replacement.
reset the console by holding your finger on the on/off button (not the power switch at the back) when you next turn the console on. It will bleep once after 2 secs and then twice after 6-10 secs. then it should turn off. restart normally and it should reset to standard def.
The lenticular screen is not the problem here. The issue is with the imaging panel, either an LCD array or a DLP panel. The alternative to replacing these components is to buy a new television.

How many people still use antenna for tv?
Not sure, but I do and I imagine that the number is increasing everyday; as more and more people realize how much money they waist on cable or satellite.
Not all programs are made to fit the 16X9 screen, use the ASPECT button on the remote to make the picture fill the screen.
What is the difference between HDMI and S video?
There are three differences:
S-video is an analog connection while HDMI is digital and carries audio as well as video signals.
HDMI cables can carry a wide range of SD and HD signals while S-video is a signal type restricted to standard definition only.
HDMI carries a component signal, a better quality signal than the color encoded signal carried on S-video.
So, given the choice, HDMI will normally provide a better image, even if it is carrying SD and is the only choice for HD content.
Which is better 1.3 hdmi cable or 1.4 hdmi cable?
There is no difference in the picture quality. You simply need to purchase the cable for the application that you have. If you have a normal Blu-Ray, HDTV and Cable or Satellite HD receiver, a HDMI 1.3 cable is the right type. For 3D televisions, purchase a 1.4 cable.
Are Samsung 3D TVs good for gaming?
Samsung 3D Tvs are okay for gaming but before investing, make sure you try several models first. Also make sure you experience both passive and active 3D systems. Both have their benefits and you will probably find you prefer one over the other. Whichever is the easiest to watch is probably the right choice for you.
Does the quality of HDMI cable make a difference...Monster vs. Generic?
No. It matters only when you are dealing with an analog signal. With digital signals the signal is there or its not. There is no improvement by choosing the really expensive monster cables.

How to connect my galaxy note 3 to tv via HDMI cable?

What is the maximum VGA cable length between PC and Plasma?
About 100 feet for minor loss to about 500-700ft for total loss. However VGA signals are extremely volatile to EMI. So shielding, copper quality, and gold plated caps will make a difference.
With good quality, low loss 75 Ohm coax cables, the maximum length can be several hundred feet with a minimal loss. The cable will be expensive, bulky and will need correctly terminating at each end to perform properly. Distances in excess of 400 feet have been handled with this technique with no noticeable losses and without additional hardware drivers. Note that this technique uses four or five separate cables and it is no longer a single VGA cable.
With an additional line driver, total lengths in excess of 1000 feet are also possible.
You may not want to run VGA cable more than 100'. If so use a VGA over Cat6 solution. This will often provide a lower cost solution for long distances but it is important that the CAT6 converter system provides for signal skew adjustment. The adjustment is needed because CAT5 and CAT6 cables are constructed in a way that results in a longer cable length on some signals compared to others. The difference in length is sufficient to be seen as misaligned red, green and blue images on the display. When the adjustment is made, signals are delayed by the correct amount of time to bring the images in line once more. Many of the less expensive VGA over CAT5 systems do not have the adjustment or have a very limited adjustment. Make sure that you are aware of the maximum adjustments available before purchasing.
Note that CAT6 transmission is still using the analog signal and therefore, can suffer similar losses to those seen with co-ax cable.
Put the bluray into PLAY then go into the AUDIO MENU and change through the choices. When you select the correct one the sound should come on.
Digital optical audio cable can carry data to decoder-enabled devices in a few formats; Dolby DTS is one of many such formats. Some of these can carry surround sound.
Besides, optical is digital, and standard sound card output is analog.
