Why won't sound work through HDMI?

The HDMI cable would stop transmitting sound once hooked up to a television if the television and laptop require another, separate, cord for the audio than the visual. The user may also need to set the television speakers on default rather than the computer or laptop speakers being set as default.

What is a VGA input?

VGA is the standard analog interface for computer displays. A television monitor that has a VGA input will be able to display a computer image just like a PC screen. VGA can also be used by video equipment so it can be used as a video signal interface for those items of equipment.

How can you tell whether your TV is analog or digital?

A quick way to check is to see how many channels it gets. For instance, in the UK, there are only 5 analogue channels in most areas (BBC-1, BBC-2, ITV, Channel 4/S4C, Five). On digital there are many more (BBC-3, BBC-4, ITV-2, E4, More 4, Film 4 and so on). If you can get any single channel that isn't on analogue, it's a digital set.

If that fails, try looking on the set for a "DVB" logo. If it has that, it's digital.

Next, turn to a channel where there is no station broadcasting. If you get "snow", then it's analogue.

How old is the set? If it's more than 5 years, it's most likely analogue. How much did you pay for it? If it was cheap, it's most likely analogue. Is it HDTV? If it is, and it's relatively new, then it's most likely digital.

In bad weather, what type of interference do you get? If it's snow, "ghosting", the colour going off or the picture rolling, it's analogue. If it's "pixellation" (blocks of the screen freezing or running slower) or the picture freezes solid on one image, then it's digital.

Finally, did you need a new aerial or a new cable box or were you told you no longer needed a digibox ("Freeview box" in the UK)? If so, it is most like a digital set.


As of today June 13th your analog tv will just show snow or a blue screen. You will need the free $40 coupon for a digital converter. Target and Best Buy have Apex and Walmart has Magnavox around $49 or $9 with government coupon.

Can you use ps2 component cables through composite?

You can, but I'd suggest that it's used only for short runs, maybe up to 6 feet, max. The picture quality will probably suffer due to internal signal reflections, causing ghosting of the image or ssome smearing of the video, but it'll work.

Which companies sell cheap LCD televisions?

A person would have to know the price of every single HDTV to answer this subjective question. What is cheap to someone else might be expensive to you. The price of HDTV sets has dropped the last few years. Some low cost brands (of course this is subjective) are TCL (The Creative Life), Samsung, and Vizio. This depends on the size of the television and other factors such as apps and internet access.

How can you download skype on my lg smart tv in Bulgaria?

Sorry to say that you will be unable to download Skype on your LG Smart TV or any other device in UAE ( United Arab Emirates). The reason is that Skype is blocked in that area by the ISPs (Internet Service Providers). This has been the case for quite a few years and is still in effect as of May 22, 2014.

How many amps does 40 flat screen LCD television use?

Approximately 1.625 Amps per hour if plugged into the wall. Wattage is equal to Volts x Amps. In my case, my 40" Samsung LCD uses 195 watts, and at 12 volts(for a deep cycle battery), that would be using about 16.25 amps per Hour. I was trying to figure out how long an 80 watt solar panel could power my tv. With a fully charged 55 AmpHour battery, it could probably stay on 3 hours. Don't forget though, you don't really want to drain a battery past 50% because going lower decreases the life of the battery. So figure about 1.5 hours for a 195 watt tv at 12 volts on a deep cycle. For outputs from the wall, I think it's 120 volts, so 195 divided by 120 is 1.625 amps per hour. You might think since there are less amps there is less power, but amps isn't power, watts is. Current is measured in amps. Since there is a higher voltage, there needs to be less current. Think of it like a river. When the water gets deep and the river wide, the current flows slowly but there is still the same amount of water passing through. When the river is shallow and fast, there is also the same amount of water passing through even though the current is faster. I know it's kind of confusing because all the components are tied together, but after a while, you will understand it.

Is there a flat screen TV that is not HD?

Almost all of them are now flat screens. The only tube based HD televisions were restricted to broadcast use and at $35000 each, studios were very happy to move to lower cost plasma or LCD screens. I believe that these models were never offered for domestic use, nor for industrial presentation use either - hardly surprising at those prices. I believe that HD CRTs are not being made by any major manufacturer now. The quality of a well set up tube based monitor showing high definition was a sight to behold and flat screen technology has a little way to go to catch up with the older CRT screens. No doubt, the new technologies will develop rapidly in the coming years.

Who was the First Inventor of the HDTV?

HDTV was not an invention as such. The standards for HD television were developed and agreed between various televisions standards committees and television companies around the beginning of the 1990s. With the standards agreed, a number of companies began developing equipment to support the standards. Along the way, there have been many developments of electronic hardware, software and storage techniques that have enable HD to be captured and distributed.

The first HD televisions for domestic use were released in the late 1990s although they had been available within the broadcast sector some time before the domestic models made an appearance.

They have TV tuners and the ability to decode encryption embedded in TV signals, allowing owners to tune into stations that are otherwise unviewable because of the encryption. It connects to a television and an external source of signal, turning the signal into content which is then displayed on the television screen or other display device. With advancements in technology, STBs have become more complex added with great features. Nowadays advanced STBs come with universal remote controls and allows for home automation. A lot of companies are entering into the STB market these days. Even BBC is coming up with a connected-TV platform STB called YouView which seem to have been stalled for the time being and slated for a 2012 release.

What services can you expect from cable television?

Cable television companies offer a horde of services to suit individual preferences. They offer local, national, and international programs and channels. Although each cable company has its own set of packages and services, they differ only slightly, and fall broadly under the same categories. These categories can be classified as:

  • Basic Cable Services: As the name implies, this is the most basic level of services. Basic services include all the off-air broadcast television channels as well as all the mandatory franchise related channels, and the government public and education channels. These also include the free to air channels. With almost all cable companies, it is necessary to subscribe to the basic service to be able to receive any of the other available services. Basic service programs can change at any time.

  • Second Tier Services: This level of service is the one that most people subscribe to as it offers most of the popular channels. It includes national super stations such as WGN as well as other programs such as the Sports channel

What is a 1080p TV and how is it different from other TV's?

the 1080 number refers to the number of lines of video vertically (top to bottom) on your TV. The "P" refers to progressive scan.

You have 2 types of scanning:

Interlace: Which is where your lines scan the even lines first (540 lines) then the odd lines next (540 lines), then the even line, etc. This happens 60 times per second which means your complete picture is refreshed 30X per second.

Progressive: With progressive scan all 1080 lines are scanned 60X per second which means your picture is refreshed twice as often per second.

This results in more smooth motion and greatly enhances your viewing experience. The 1080p is the best HDTV.
