Hdmi Cables: Are They Right For You?

By Jeremy Pabloccis

If you are anything like me then you are wondering what HDMI cables are used for and what they mean and pretty much just everything about them. I am here to tell you that they are more simple than you think they are. They pretty much take the place of a cable that is probably hooked to your television right now. The cable that is red, green and blue, in some cases they are red, white and yellow.

Now that we got that over with. An HDMI cable is for you to have better sound quality and better picture quality through your television. If you do not have a plasma television, I am not saying that this cable will make it look like one. I am simply stating that it will make your television quite a bit better than it is now.

Let me clear this up real quick, an HDMI cable will not work on all televisions and all devices. The HDMI cables did not even come out until two thousand and three and they have just recently become pretty popular. If you have a television that looks like one you bought back when televisions were first invented then you probably need to upgrade to something better before you try using an HDMI cable because there is no place to stick the cable in a television that is this old.

I had always heard that HDMI cables were very cool and that they make your television very clear. I wondered if my television could be hooked to one and I soon found out that it qualified! So I also found out that they can make my sound better and I did notice this after hooking one up.

This cable is good because it makes your sound quality and picture a lot clearer and not only that but it also will help to prevent all the clutter that you have from other cables that are hanging around. An HDMI will replace more than just one cable and then it wont look like you have a big cluster of cables and wires coming out of the back of your entertainment system.

When you use a regular hook up to your television through a DVD player it can distort your image because it has to travel through your cable twice. This in turn makes it more distorted, where an HDMI cable will only travel through one time. What is it that travels through, you ask? They say the digital video and sounds have to be converted into analog to travel through a cable.

When buying a device that you want to hook up with HDMI it is important to get one that has three hook ups. For instance you need a television with a minimum of three because then you can hook up three different devices to your television and this will prevent you from having to switch the cable every single time you need to use a different device.

If you have a television that you can hook up to your DVD player and they both have an HDMI cable input, then you should give it a try. I am not someone who conforms with anything and I can say that I was happy that I conformed with this because it made this so much better and the price was steep but it was so worth it. IF your looking to go with an HDMI then you can find them online or at some local department stores. - 31846

Useful Information About Your Projector Lamp Life

By Jong Hun

In order to make your projector lamp reach the maximum length in life span there are few tips that you should know as a user.

In order to correctly manipulate the projector lamp you need a piece of textile cloth or a pair of textile gloves. The lamp must never be touched with the fingers so it is always wise to manipulate the lamps components using a pair of textile gloves. The prints that remain on the glass of the lamp can cause the rising of the temperature in those areas and on the long term can significantly reduce the duration of the lamps functioning.

Another preventive measure is clearing the projectors filters. The dirty filters are blocking the air flow and cause the overheating of the lamp reducing the functioning period. In case of a replacement using the warranty certificate, the producer will test the lamp to see if the damage has occurred due to the overheating from filter clogging. If the test proves that that was the case the warranty is annulled. That is why it is very important to let the airflow around the projector as free as possible.

If you wish to introduce a new bulb in the existing lighting module of the lamp, make sure that the terminals are very tightly closed because the ceramic block can crack and that may cause ruptures that are reducing considerably the electronic isolation of the lamp.

On the other hand if the terminals are loose the risk of an electric arc to be produced is very high and this will cause the malfunction of the lamps source of power or even of the lamp itself.

Always use the remote control when stopping the projector. If you unplug the device without stopping it first the projector will invariably enter the cooling mode when the image is stopped and the fan will accelerate the cooling of the lamp in a controlled mode. The temperature of the lamp during operating mode is 1,000 C. Unplugging the lamp without letting it first passing through the off mode will cause the unequal cooling of the lamps glass which can cause the cracking of the glass and the premature malfunction of the lamp. - 31846

Logitech Computer Speakers x240 - The 101 On Logitech Speakers For Your Computer

By Jessica Lauren

Looking for some good speakers to play your itunes? Let's take a look at the Logitech Computer Speakers x240. Is this speaker system worth it's price and does it give you the sound that you require for your needs? Let's take a closer look and then you can make an informed decision on whether the logitech computer speakers x240 s are right for you.

Since these speakers are on the lower end of cost it may draw many people to take a second look when you are going down the list of speakers. You do not want to get cheap speakers if they are not all that they should be though do you? Thankfully however these speakers do put out some good sound and can enhance you listening experience. The 5 star reviews have me ready to go with these speakers and your kids will like that the speakers are the ability to keep the neighbors up down the street.

There are some other great features that come with these speakers. One of my favorites is the integrated stowaway cradle. All you have to do is slide out the cradle on the control pod if you want to charge,sync or play your digital music player. The only con people found with this feature was the fact that it does not come with an Ipod. :( lol This control panel also has the headphone jack.

There is a separate volume control on the subwoofer unlike some other speakers. This can come in pretty handy if you like to tweak your sound. With my non tech savvy self I personally do not touch any of the setting on my speakers.

There is also a nice look to these speakers. The speakers are not big and bulky and they won't be getting in your way since their dimensions are a nice size :

Satellites: 6.9″ x 2.6″ x 3.8″

Subwoofer: 8.7″ x 5.9″ x 8.7″

The subwoofer is a 4 inch down firing subwoofer. Not totally sure what that means but since I found that info I figured someone might be more technical and know what it means.

All in all these speakers are a good buy. They offer a good sound and at a reasonable price and if you're on a budget - like myself - that's a good thing! You don't want to sacrifice your sound and entertainment experience but you don't want to kill your wallet. - 31846

Plasma Or Projection TV's

By Tim Gorman

When you are setting up your home theater you need to decide on what is the best way for you to watch. Many people would not have anything other than a projector as it adds to the cinema theme as well as giving you a very good image as big as you want. But many others do not want to deal with projectors and screens and would rather have the convenience of a TV style screen that you just turn on and play the DVD in as you would in any other room but on a bigger screen.

If you are using a projector then it is a good idea to make sure that your room has good thick curtains so that you can block the light from the room. As the image is produced through a projected light then it is best to use a projector in a fairly dark room. With some of the latest projectors they have a light sensor so that if the light is too bright for the image then it brightens the light to make it stronger. You also have to set up a projector for the movie and put up the screen. But it does give you a really good sense of being at the cinema as well as a really good, large picture that is very high quality.

There are some really good plasma screens around now and the cost is dropping. But you still get the sense that you are watching TV. Although if you put it on the wall then it is a lot more like a real screen. Plasmas have an advantage over projectors if you have a small room, as they did not need any space to project an image.

Although plasma TV does not have the same movie theater aspect to it as a projector does it is very easy to use and does give you a very good image.

If you want ease of use and a great quality picture and are happy either to have a smaller screen, or you are able to pay for a very big one, then plasma might be best for you. But a projector can give you a really good quality image that is as big as you want and there are some very good projectors that are very cheap. But you also have to set up the screen as well as the projector whenever you want to see a movie. But whatever you choose it is always worth trying it out in the store so that you can see which is the best for you. - 31846

The Right Home Theatre Seating

By Samantha Davis

One of the most important aspects of a home theatre doesn't even involve the TV, the DVD player, the projectors (if chosen) or even anything electronic. What good is having the best home theatre in the entire neighborhood if everyone has to sit on metal folding chairs to enjoy it? Finding comfortable but appropriate seating not only allows a solid level of comfort throughout any viewing event, but it also enhances the entire home theatre experience.

Obviously cheap metal folding chairs you can buy for $10 at Wal-Mart are probably not your best choice for home theatre seating. That would actually be a major whiff. The choices for various home theatre seating options are extensive, and each has some solid merit and may depend on how many people you generally plan on having over to enjoy the system.

Some people like movie theatre type chairs to give it an authentic experience, while for others a comfortable sofa of several recliners is as good as it gets. Don't limit your options, either. This is your home theatre system, and you should get not only seating that works well for the look and feel of your system, but seating that you will legitimately enjoy using. If you want recliners, you can even consider massage recliners, high quality (i.e. not dragged off the corner after college lets out for the summer) top of the line recliners.

Home theatre seating is important because if you aren't comfortable while watching a great home theatre system, then what's the point of the rest of it? It doesn't matter how good the rest of the system is because no one will be comfortable watching anything. In fact, the right home theatre seating is arguable almost as important as the sound and picture quality of the home theatre itself!

If you don't like the idea of a couch in a home theatre set up, consider a series of recliners in a row. Not only do you get the amazing comfort of recliners, but by having them lined up in a row you can still have the effect of a theatre setting. - 31846

LG 32LH30 LCD

By James Danielson

For those of you thinking about up grading your aging CRT TV with an HDTV, I want to simplify the process for you. Stick with a major player like LG and take a look at the LG 32LH30 LCD. Priced just under $500, it will compete with units priced much higher. Let me clarify that, you will not find any significant difference between one costing up to $1000 when compared the 32LH30.

HDTV is high density TV. It's now the the industry standard. HD allows TVs to display programming and video games at extremely high resolutions. The end result is an extremely crisp and sharp image like no other that you have seen before. The movies that are available in HD will appear with finer detail and less blur. Video gamers love this because the graphics are killer and more vivid. HD appeals to our highly acute vision senses.

A lot of people are dumping their analog TV sets because the foot print of these new LCD TVs are so thin! While the height and width remain about the same, you gain an incredible amount of flexibility of where you can display this unit because TVs like the 32LH30 are so narrow.

The picture adjusting controls of the LG 32LH30 LCD are much better than competing models. The added Picture Wizard makes use of internal test patterns to help the user perform general calibrations the controls for sharpness, brightness, contrast, color, tint, vertical and horizontal sharpness, and back light.

Connectivity is very ample on the 32LH30 LCD. There are two HDMI ports, a component-video input, an AV input with composite video, a RF input for antenna or cable, an RGB-style analog PC input, and an optical digital audio output located on the back panel. Located on the the left side is a third HDMI input as well as a second AV input with composite video. - 31846

Home Theater and Speaker Systems

By Ashley Hansen

A home theater is not complete until it has a decent speaker system to go with it. In a perfect would, your surround sound would be Dolby 7 or a very least, Dolby 5. If you are going to spend your funds on a nice entertainment center, it wouldn't make sense to skimp on speakers or audio system. After you achieve your crisp picture, sound is the next most important component that help you enjoy your entertainment center.

You can even go the extra mile with your surround sound system if you want to do everything, and use the "bass shaker" attachments that are available with some systems. These gadgets attach to your recliner or sofa, and when a scene comes on with an explosion or car wreck, these gadgets actually SHAKE the recliner or sofa, adding to the realism of the movie.

I suggest you make yourself a list, or maybe even a paper spreadsheet that you take with you when you shop around. Put a column for must-have features, a column for nice-to-have features, and perhaps yet another column for a feature you find that is specific to a particular brand. And definitely SHOP AROUND for your home theater system! Create a budget for yourself that will NOT be exceeded, regardless of how loudly a particular system is screaming at you to buy it.

Watch for certain systems you like to go on sale. Sales occur on a regular basis, and you can save yourself a load of money. If you are purchasing the features separately, my suggestion is to purchase them from the same store. That way, if there is a hiccup, you won't need the issue of pointing your finger from the various stores to try and blame each other.

The smart shopper is the one who gets the quality system and doesn't pay "sticker price" for it. Be informed, know what you want, be willing to learn if you run across an intelligent salesperson who knows what he is talking about, and stick to your budget. You will be able to enjoy your investment in this superb home theater system for years to come. - 31846

These parts are the projection lens, feed spool, arc lamp, take up spool, normal lens, rotating shutter, optical sound head and an aperture. All projectors are working on the same principals but what sets them apart one from the other is the new and surprising addition to the basic technology. The producers of these devices are building new gadgets every day and do their best to bring into the market revolutionary items created to make the home cinema a work of art.

The new technologies are developing rapidly introducing a larger quality of picture in number of pixels and clarity.

The luminosity of the lamp can reach 1200 lumen and the images projected come very close to the HD standard through their dimension and the quality of projection. This technology creates live colors, natural even when projected on an orange wall as well as on a white wall.

The image can have a diagonal larger than 4 meters and associated with an amplifier can turn a video projector in a perfect home cinema for a real entertainment. - 31846

LCD, DLP and LCOS Projector Technologies

By Himanshu Sharma

LCD, DLP and LCOS are three projector technologies which are predominantly used in schools, colleges and corporate houses for giving presentations, watching videos, classroom teaching, product training etc. LCD projectors use LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) technology to display text and image on an interactive whiteboard or other projection screen. They are also known as multimedia projectors as they can display both text and images from PC, TV and video recorders. They can work with all types of notebooks and desktops. The projection can be of SVGA or XGA resolution.

SVGA means 800 * 600 resolutions whereas XGA means 1024 * 768 screen resolution. A digital image is made up of dots or pixels. A resolution is the size of the digital image which is expressed in width * Height. For e.g.: 800 * 600 resolution means, an image is 800 pixels wide and 600 pixels in height. The projector brightness is measured in ANSI (American National Standard Institute) Lumens.

The DLP and LCOS projectors are also considered to be a type of LCD projector although they use DLP (Digital Light Processing) and LCOS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) technologies for video projection.

LCD technology is best for computer use and DLP is best for projecting videos. LCD delivers better color saturation, sharper image and is more light efficient than DLP. The DLP projectors are smaller and lighter than LCD and produce higher contrast videos.

LCOS technology is best for very high resolutions. Its projectors are bigger and heavier than LCD and DLP and generally cost more. One practical application of LCD technology is its use by teachers when training students to use software by capturing the image say 'Screen of MSWord' from a computer screen and projecting it on the interactive whiteboard so that all the students can see what is going on the computer screen. Some projector accessories are: cabinets, cases, ceiling mount kits, cables, lens, lamps, remote control, projection screen, stands, trolleys, digital microscope, visualizers etc. - 31846

At this website, we recognize that privacy of your personal information is important. Here is information on what types of personal information we receive and collect when you use and visit this website, and how we safeguard your information. We never sell your personal information to third parties.

Log Files
As with most other websites, we collect and use the data contained in log files. The information in the log files include your IP (internet protocol) address, your ISP (internet service provider, such as AOL or Shaw Cable), the browser you used to visit our site (such as Internet Explorer or Firefox), the time you visited our site and which pages you visited throughout our site.

Cookies and Web Beacons
We do use cookies to store information, such as your personal preferences when you visit our site. This could include only showing you a popup once in your visit, or the ability to login to some of our features, such as forums.

We also use third party advertisements on this website to support our site. Some of these advertisers may use technology such as cookies and web beacons when they advertise on our site, which will also send these advertisers (such as Google through the Google AdSense program) information including your IP address, your ISP , the browser you used to visit our site, and in some cases, whether you have Flash installed. This is generally used for geotargeting purposes (showing New York real estate ads to someone in New York, for example) or showing certain ads based on specific sites visited (such as showing cooking ads to someone who frequents cooking sites).

DoubleClick DART cookies
We also may use DART cookies for ad serving through Google’s DoubleClick, which places a cookie on your computer when you are browsing the web and visit a site using DoubleClick advertising (including some Google AdSense advertisements). This cookie is used to serve ads specific to you and your interests (”interest based targeting”). The ads served will be targeted based on your previous browsing history (For example, if you have been viewing sites about visiting Las Vegas, you may see Las Vegas hotel advertisements when viewing a non-related site, such as on a site about hockey). DART uses “non personally identifiable information”. It does NOT track personal information about you, such as your name, email address, physical address, telephone number, social security numbers, bank account numbers or credit card numbers. You can opt-out of this ad serving on all sites using this advertising by visiting http://www.doubleclick.com/privacy/dart_adserving.aspx

You can choose to disable or selectively turn off our cookies or third-party cookies in your browser settings, or by managing preferences in programs such as Norton Internet Security. However, this can affect how you are able to interact with our site as well as other websites. This could include the inability to login to services or programs, such as logging into forums or accounts.

Deleting cookies does not mean you are permanently opted out of any advertising program. Unless you have settings that disallow cookies, the next time you visit a site running the advertisements, a new cookie will be added.
