Is it a 'surge protector' or a 'surge suppressor'?
Both are fairly apt descriptions of the device's function, and are generally interchangeable. They "suppress" surges by attempting to regulate the power flow to devices connected to them. They "protect" the devices from destruction up to and including its own demise.
What is more important - resolution or dynamic contrast ratio?
most of the cases the resolution is important when it comes to large screens contrast ratio matters!! i mean lik the very large plasma displays!!
Is there any way to adjust or fine tune convergence on a LCD rear projection TV?
Yes there is. ALL LCD/Plasma televisions have adjustment for convergence, RGB drive, color saturation and a virtual host of other parameters than can be adjusted through the "technician's service menu".
Unfortunately, you are not supplied with the information to access that menu and you're limited to a "user's menu" which allows you to only adjust some of the basics, like volume, tone, color, tint and several more.
Methods of access vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. And the main reason that a consumer isn't given access to these menus is simply because they can totally screw up a set with just the push of a button, requiring hours to correct by a qualified technician.
Of course, most all of them have a factory default to recover most of the settings, but there's still a lot of finite settings that would have to be adjusted to get your TV looking right again.
Depending on the LCD manufacturer, it may be adjustable for your specific set, or you could have a problem with the LCD digital or driver modules. Even the LCD display itself could be failing.
Best bet is to call a QAUALIFIED technician and have it checked out. If you don't have an extended service plan from where you purchased the set, or if it's out of manufacturer's warranty, some of the repairs could be quite expensive. enough so that it may be worth looking into buying a replacement set.
I've been doing LCD/plasma repairs for the last year and a half for a big box retailer, so I think I know what I'm talking about.
Another opinion from a WikiAnswers contributor:
unlike big screens that hav a red green and blue light the lcd only has 1 light so I'm guessing no......best to contact the manufacturer and see what they say to do
Will a RCA home theater system work with a Sony Bravia TV?
Yes, use the audio OUT on the TV to connect to the audio IN connectors on the sound system. Then look at the menu for audio adjustments or settings and select VARIABLE. This means turning the tv sound up and down will also make the new speakers follow the volume control on the remote. In the same menu turn the internal speakers OFF. We don't want to mix the tv's internal speakers with the new RCA sound system.

Why is 1080p better than 730p?
1080p is the full HD resolution. Blu-Ray discs can work on 730p TVs, but the image will not be in the full quality and will most likely appear distorted

if not then please tell me what is the best resolution for my screen and laptop.in the specification of laptop it says 1366x768,so does this mean its the best resolution for my laptop or i can watch higher.
Answer
1080p - the frame is produced by using a single progressive scan.
1080i - the frame is produced by using two simultaneous diagonal scans.
Human eye cannot differ the two resolutions, so paying an extra £1000+ for 1080p is definitely wasted money.
Answer
I think that 1080p does give a better picture, but you can only start to appreciate it on the bigger sized tv. For a 1080p screen to be noticably better than a 1080i one, you would probably need a screen size of over 60".
Answer
The human eye can actually tell the difference very well, especially when watching fast action or sports. 1080p is technically better to watch, but theoretically worse because it does not have the two sets of 540 interlaced lines being displayed alternately. Because each frame is composed of two separate lines being displayed and two moments in time, if the recorded object moves fast enough to be in different places when each field is captured it creates a 'combing' affect. So technically 1080p is better especially when you watch closely.
Answer
It also depends on the output of the signal being sent into the HDTV. over 85% of tv networks are being broadcast into 1080i the rest is 720P. When will they switch to 1080P? They won't it took over fifty years for the government to change the standard and it hasn't even been effect yet. Stations have already committed to either one of the standards and will be unlikely to change anytime soon.
AnswerOn an Interlaced Picture the scan lines of a frame are arranged in two fields each. One of the two fields contains the odd lines and the other field contains the even lines. Interlacing is when these two fields are shown in sequence at twice the rate of the actual frame and at half the resolution. So each half frame is shown and is slightly different.In the UK PAL televisions operates at 25 frames a second with 50 fields a second (USA 30 frames a second with 60 fields a second). A broadcasted signal that is Interlaced requires half the signal bandwidth of a Progressive signal. A progressive signal has a scan rate of 50 full frames per second compared with an interlaced signal which has half the frame speed.
Interlaced pictures on recordings made for television or with a video camera aren't able to be displayed on standard definition LCD televisions and Plasma televisions. This is because the picture isn't created with an electron scan like CRT tv's so LCD televisions and Plama TVs don't gain from the interlaced picture signal. Flat panel widescreen televisions have internal processing to create a progressive scanned picture from a interlaced image - i.e. Deinterlacing.
Progressive scanning is a method to display, transmit, and store a moving picture. Each frame has all of the lines instead of even lines or odd lines as with an Interlaced signal and they are shown in sequence.
The benefits of Progressive Scanning is that there is a greater vertical resolution than on Interlaced pictures at the same frame rate with out blurring, interlace artifacts, and reduced eye strain. It is also possible to scale to a higher resolution than it is with comparable interlaced sources. Because interlaced signal sources have to be deinterlaced before scaling with obvious combing artifacts, Progressive scanned full images give the best results when scaling.
The conversion of a progressive source such as 1080p/50 into an interlaced configuration such as 1080i/25 is easier than the conversion of an interlaced signal to a progressive format.
On a still picture there wont be any difference in picture quality between 1080i and 1080P. However with a 1080P source on moving images the 1080P will produce more fluid motion and higher resolution
If you don't intend to use a Blueray player, PlayStation 3, or to download films from the internet then a HD ready 1080i/720p tv will probably suffice. However if you want to future proof your self against possibility of future Full HD 1080p broadcasts then the full HD 1080p models are the ones to buy. Obviously if you have or are going to buy a Blueray player, PlayStation 3 or to you are going to down load full HD films then the full HD 1080p is the logical choice.

How do you get the menu button up without a remote?
Many television sets have a non-remote way to bring up a menu by either having a specific menu button (on newer t.v.'s) or by pressing a combination of two buttons. For instance, some t.v.'s menu appears when you press the next channel and previous channel simultaneously.
How do you connect Sony Bravia KLV32EX400 to a 5.1 channel surround sound system?
The KLV32ex400 has no surround output capability. The only audio output is a stereo 1/8" headphone jack. If you are using a Blu-Ray or HD cable or satellite receiver, you can run an optical or coaxial digital cable from those directly to the receiver for surround sound.

Figured it out... this may help you, doing it from memory so I may have the number of screws off a bit, but the rest is correct...
It was windex (thanks to my kids). Here's how to fix it (on a JVC HD-56fn97). The key is to get to the windex before it's had a chance to react with the plastic and leave a white haze on it. I did all of this within 6 hours of the "incident" and the screen is fine, there is no trace of a problem - AT ALL.
1. Remove speaker trim from front of TV on the bottom, there's a couple tabs that you can find by feeling around... press them the trim comes right off.
2. Remove the screws holding the speaker enclosure to the bottom of the cabinet (approximately 6-8 screws) and carefully lower the enclosure - the wires for the speakers are kind of short, you might want help so you don't drop the enclosure and damage the wires etc. Unplug the wires connected to the speakers - the right side wires are black and red, the left side are whithe and black. (Don't worry about which goes where, the connectors are different sizes, they only go back on one way.)
3. Take the screws out of the back of the screen trim (approximately 8) - BE CAREFUL not to drop the screen - the plastic trim will break... this is not heavy but it is a little flimsy.
4. Lay the screen trim (with the screen in it) on a large flat surface big enough to support the whole thing. Don't put it on the floor, you want something that is going to be clean, lint free, dirt / grease free, etc.
5. Unscrew the 4 screen retainers on the inside of the trim... there are 2 sliver colored screws at the top and bottom of both the left and rtight sides (total of 8 silver colored screws) and 2-4 black screws in the meddile of each side.
6. Lift out the screens (there are 2 and they are taped together. Carefully cut the tape at the side and bottom, leave the top tape intact.
7. Use a lint free cloth to dry the windex most of the way... the big spots mostly. BE CAREFUL NOT TO WIPE / RUB TOO HARD - the screens have a texture to them that you can't mess up or it'll affect the picture. Get a hair dryer and blow COOL air across the screens to dry the windex all the way.
Get another lint free rag and wet it with clean water, not sopping wet, but a little more than damp. Use the wet rag to wipe the entire screen down, in the pattern following the texture (one is random, one is circular). Make sure to get the windexed parts good. Use the hair dryer to dry it them completely.
You need to be careful to get all finger prints off the insides of the screens - (oils on your fingers will leave finger prints... I used a third lint free rag to hold the screens with to avoid getting finger prints, etc on them). You also need to make sure you get all the dust , lint, etc off the insides of the screens, when you put them back together they'll be trapped in the screens and highly visible.
Put the screens back together and re-tape the sides so that they stay straight, tec. I used the skinny scotch tape. Wipe down the side of the screen that will face the back of the tv so you won't have any finger prints, dust, etc on the inside surface. (Note - the silver side goes in the TV, the dark side goes out.) Be careful not to touch the mirror inside or antyhing else, you may even want to blow the hair dryer in there and get out any dust, etc that is in there before you put everything back together.
8. Re-assemble the tv the opposite of taking it apart. Be careful that you put the screen retainers from step 5 back in the right order of the screw hole won't line up right. The side go in first then the top and bottom.
You should probably have someone help you with this, a second set of hands isn't required, but makes removing / installing the screen, etc much easier.
This whole process took me 5 hours, but I was going VERY slow so as not to break anything, and about half of that time was spent just figuring out how to take the screen off.
You could possibly put a small bead of silicon caulk along the edges of the screen (on the retainers in step 5) to prevent this from happening again ( a VERY SMALL bead of caulk) but I don't know if that will affect the screen or make it harder to remove the screen in the off chance that you have to do this again.
Good luck.
