Customer Rating

Researched this model, purchased and connected. Set up was very easy. Entered Wi-Fi password and it connected to my home network easily. Next, clicked on Netflix, entered information and connected with no problem. Played an action Blu Ray, and the picture on my Pioneer Plasma was stunning. Truly a very good Blu Ray player with good features and an especially good deal buying on sale.

The case is one piece, fits my iPhone 6 perfectly. I have no trouble with volume buttons, on-off, or plugging in to charge. It is a 1 piece product though I would prefer a 2 piece unit instead. It is not bulky and does what it is supposed to do.

What's great about it: Powerful mid range
What's not so great: drab cabinet appearance
Wow, what an amazing center channel. I matched this to my B & W 684 towers since I watch a lot of blu ray dvds, and it delivers an outstanding clarity even at low volumes. But it really is striking when listening to action scenes. It is not drowned out by the action explosions, yet still gives great clarity to voice. Very happy I chose this speaker.

What's great about it: Supports back
What we found so great was the lumbar support these chairs offer. The lever to open is so easy to use. They tilt back very easily. Setting up was a breeze. Must say these chairs are for sure worth the money. We had to call the mfr and ask for both chairs to have two arms each, and they agreed and the chairs were delivered as promised with two arms each.

Undoubtedly one of the classiest stands being offered. Has ventilated shelves and hidden wheels. Just a shame it costs so much, but was the only stand we fell in love with for style.

What's great about it: Sound clarity and bass
What's not so great: Cabinet style too bland
What I wanted in a speaker was great mid range clarity and good bass, and the 684 gives both. The dual kevlar cones make the sound awesome. I connected to a Pioneer Elite (110w) and bought AudioQuest Rocket 33 bi-wire cables, and they truly make these speakers come alive. I have a large room and they fill the room without having to turn super loud. Make sure you do the speaker balancing and you won't be disappointed.

What is the difference between LCD and LED
Nothing really. LCD stands for liquid crystal display. Light must pass thru these crystals to form an image. LCD tv's used a special type of fluorescent bulb to provide the light. Newer LCD tv's use light-emitting diodes to provide the light. Like cars used to have carburetors, and now have fuel injection. Same engine, different fuel delivery. Same type of tv, different light source....brighter...more efficient. Name of LED is kinda misleading, but that is what the industry chose cause it sounds cool.

Can a DVR or VCR player/recorder be used with any of the new flat screen tvs?
Looking at being able to hook up VCR player/recorder to a small 19" LED flat screen tv. Is it possible to record anything anymore... if so, what connections or equipment is needed? Does it have anything to do with a tuner in tv ? I don't know what to look for.
First of all, you need to connect from cable box (if you have one) yellow video "OUT" as well as red and white audio "OUT" to IN on VCR. This gives the VCR the audio and video from the cable box. Next, connect from the VCR out a second set of yellow, red and white cables to a similar IN on the TV. Many newer tv's do not have a yellow (CALLED COMPOSITE) input any longer, but you can use the green component video input for the yellow composite cable. This will give the TV the video signal. Next connect the red/white audio to audio IN on the tv. To record, the cable box must be on the channel you wish to record. It is not like a DVR which can be recording one channel while watching another. If you don't have a cable box, connect the coax cable from the wall into the VCR in, and then coax out to tv. Now you can also record what show you want. Remember to use the VCR timer. Hope you understand.

How do I remove the base of the TV to send it in for repair Model 37LH20
You did not mention the brand, but most flat panels are attached to the base with just a small amount of screws. Unplug tv and all cables, turn tv around and look for screws.

timer radio
looking for flat screen with radio and alarm and sleep timer
Sad to say this is a feature not in demand. For just a small amount you can purchase a small radio with alarm. Searching for this in a tv in todays market most likely is a waste of time. Sorry

man, there are many, many tv's. I know alittle, but I'm gett'in burnt. What's a good allround large screen flat panel? Directv hook-up/CD for me.
First of all go into the store. Know how far you sit from the screen, determine what size you need. Secondly, now that you know what size to buy....look at 3-4 different same size sets and choose the one that looks most natural colors to your eyes, not someone else.

tv
my tv is displaying digital noise filter off on the left top and rihgt top filter on and on the middle down auto visualisation.how can i remove this permanently
You might have what is called de-interlacing problem with your tv motherboard circuits. Not sure if you have any detailed settings to adjust tv screen image size, but check your advanced settings. Might work, since doing this costs nothing.

My tv turned gray with thick lines but i still hear the tv.
Try reconnecting with a different cable (s). You may have some broken parts on the cable you are using. Better to check something simple before paying for a service call.

How can I use my flat panel TV as my PC monitor?
What ports are required on the back of a flat panel so that a computer can be connected in order to use the TV as the PC monitor?
Older tv's had a VGA input, while newer ones seldom do. However, even my 2010 laptop has an HDMI out which works fine connected to the tvs to view tv shows no longer available via the cable network.. But if you really want your tv as a monitor, you need a VGA input or a true Smart Tv with a browser. Some have the browser, some don't.
