What is the maximum length of a VGA cable?

Information deterioration only begins on a noticable level after the first 100 ft or so.

There are two factors that greatly affect the image quality. One is the VGA driver - the display card. Many are designed to drive only short distances and do not perform well above 10 to 20 feet. The other is the cable itself. VGA is a high resolution video signal and demands a properly designed cable to carry it over a long distance. Many short VGA cables do not comply with the transmission standards for long distances. They work over a length of 5 feet or so but for long distance transmission, 75 ohm co-ax cable is needed for each of the red, green and blue signals.

Given a proper video driver in the display card, several hundred feet is possible if the right grade of video cable is used to carry the signal. This type of cable is not a standard product in most cases, so it will need to be made to order. Standard cables over 100 feet are rare.

What is wrong with a TV if the power light is on but there is no picture or sound?

Maybe the wire that connects to your T.V. from a DVR or other picture receiver is loose, hooked-off, or not on right.

Also, try jiggling all connections and testing them out individually. Hopefully the screen isn't broken. If it is an older cathode ray tube monitor, the bulb might be broken. If it is a flatscreen, it is probably a circuitry or logic board problem. hopefully, it is just a problem with the wires.

Why is led better than LCD?

it's not necessarily better. it is brighter than lcd, which is why contrast ratios shoot up well over the 150k:1 ratio for lcd. they are also incredibly thin and lightweight. true led TVs, or oled TVs have each individual pixel lit up, while most consumer led TVs use fluorescent light bars to produce a picture. this lets them show more colors and be a bit better for darker colors. however the leds lose a lot of viewing angle when vied from the side.

Is satellite TV clearer than cable TV?

Satellite TV is a huge style dish made in the 90's usually but is the same as Dish Network and Directv. Also Satellite TV is another way of bringing you your network and local and favorite channels without having to pay a corporate company such as Cableone or Classic or COX or Cambridge.

Dish Network and Directv or DTV.. the differences in these two are simple... Basically here's the deal Dish Network runs of 6 Great Huge Satellites but only uses 2 to 3 depending on your local stations. Directv uses 4 satellites but they are overloaded with 20 million customers and cause Directv to pixelate or lose signal while Dish Network can hold 20 million and not pixelate or lose signal. Another huge deal between them are the dishes and storms. Dish Net can withstand 100mph winds and still not lose a signal DTV can withstand 100mph and lose signal constantly... The main deal here is the design of the dishes the switches and such and also a main factor is who installed them and the ends..

Price, channel choice, how many trees to cut down. Ask the suppliers, they will answer your questions faster then this forum.

Lets not forget the free to air sats, They offer alot of good stuff to watch that is free and i mean free(sports and education are the bulk here)

Here is a website you can reference comparing the two. http://www.dishtvreviews.com/

What produces the light in lcd tv?

Cathode Ray Tube

Light is produced when electrons emitted from the back of the tube strike the front of the screen,and light up the phosphor coating .

Plasma

Excitation of a gas by high voltage

LCD

Cold cathode florescent lamps, placed behind the LCD screen

LCD LED

White LED's placed behind the LCD screen

OLED

Light emitting diodes. Light is generated by passing current across a PN junction of specially doped material, which causes electrons to change valence level and emit light.

Can you connect a high definition box to a tv that is not high definition?

If it has the correct connectors, yes, but the picture won't be much better. The picture will not be any better than the weakest link in the chain. In this case the decoder and the TV.

Can you play an HD DVD in a Blu-ray player?

The introduction of high definition discs saw two formats launched. Bluray is one and HD DVD was the other. The format war was won by the Bluray system and HD DVD was withdrawn in 2009.

Both Bluray and HD DVD are high definition players but note that "HD DVD" is the name of the format and is confusingly close to the generic description of high definition disc players.

Bluray and HD DVD are not compatible so a disc of one type will not play on the other format. There are a handful of dual format disc players but they were expensive and few were sold. If you have HD DVD discs then you need to hand on to an HD DVD player if you want to watch them. All high definition discs on sale now are Bluray and of course will need a Bluray player to play them.

How do you hook up your comcast cable box to Vizio?

Thru the component or HIMI cables. Any less will not be HD.

Sony Blu-ray player do you need HDMI cables to have better quality?

AnswerIf you want them in 1080p yes. HDMI stands for "high definition multimedia interface" and will do both your audio and video.

You can also use the component cables (the 5 cables with the green, blue etc) This will make it in 1080i. The naked eye can tell zero difference between 1080p & 1080i. The p stand for progressive & the i for interlaced. Both are high quality HDTV. The HDMI & 1080p is newer & considered to be the best though.

What is HDTV and HDMI?

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the brand new A/V solution that brings a whole new entourage of features to your home theater. You do not have to worry about cables getting tangled, since a HDMI cable is compacted of audio and video interface that is transmitted within one cable.

It transmits high-definition video signals up to 1080p resolution, and 5.1 surround sound audio including the high-definition audio formats available on Blu-ray.

How do you transport a flat screen TV?

Moving CartDepending on the disance, size of doorways, if stairs have to be negotiated. I would think a cart similar to those used at Home Depot, to move plywood, and such would work. Calling the place where it was purchased and getting their input, would probably be helpful.You could simply put a couple of blankets around your t.v if its flat screen then in a box with bubble wrap. Second OpinionIf you have a lot of helping hands, have 5 or 6 relatively strong guys (or girls) carry the TV by hand. It's cheaper, free (in some instances), and may be faster than doing it yourself or with 2 people. Two Ways depending on type of TVIf trying to move an older bulky TV by yourself the only safe would be using a hand truck or dolly. Pad with some blankets & you should be fine. Your flat screen TV is another story. Be careful of the screens. Do not put any kind of bubble wrap or plastic on the screen. It is always best to keep the original box & packing materials for transportation of these newer flat screens. The weight is not usually the issue.

Is a plasma television dangerous?

This is one of the wilder myths about Plasma TV! A tiny amount of UV radiation comes out of a Plasma display (you can measure it up to one inch from the screen).

The tube television you put your nose on while you watched cartoons in the seventies form an image by shooting radiation at the screen! Radiation from a tube TV floods more than one foot into the room! You probably have several of these TVs in your house right now!

Is there a remote code for Olevia 232?

Such codes are generated by the universal remote manufacturer rather than the TV manufacturer. As such, the actual codes will differ from one remote to another. Regretfully, Olevia TV's (for the most part) use proprietary infrared frequencies. This means that the code for another TV brand will not work with Olevia TV's. If you are looking for a universal remote, Olevia made a learning remote (model RC-LRN). Amergence Technology Inc. sells them for 39.99. They can be reached at 866-965-3842.
