Hello guys i bought an Samsung 32 inch hdtv LN-T3242H check it out. I have had the tv for about 2 weeks now. I first got it i could play games fine no lag no slowdown etc but now they are slow. For example i first hooked up my tv halo 3 graw 2 would play fine on my tv but now they are laggin like crazy. Bought call of duty 4 a few days ago but it works fine any suggestions.

Its a samsung LN-t3242H LCD HDTV (32″)[720p] and i need some help getting the best picture out of it.

I can do up to 1080i on the lcd hdtv monitor, but when I check the little tv icon at the bottom of my screen, it says I’m getting 54Mps. What’s the conversion rate and how do I get it to be the best quality?

Hi,
My HDTV isn’t working as well on Normal Sky not Sky HD or Sky+ I have hooked up it via Scart lead which is gold plated and its all fussy it’s actually Pixelated even my PC comes out blurry I don’t think that it’s the TV has my computer doesn’t reach the related resolution However my DVD player comes out blurry I just don’t understand why this is happening I went to Comet to do some of the TVs where Pixelated more worser than mine I asked a Pakistani man he told me that it’s the ariel then I asked him that why are the other TVs blurry I said it’s the reception they can’t Identify what FPS they need to work they can’t Identify what type of TV it is he recommended buying a SKY HD He also claimed that it will cost you a hell lot of money .
I have ordered a Blu-ray player from QVC it should arrive on monday (Fingers cross) but I don’t understand why is it blurry the Pakistani man seemed to be confused him self so it’s better to ask.
Thank You

I am buying a new dvd player http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/pa…
what does HDMI Upscaler. mean, I have a full HDTV and i want to use this player, will i need a lead to connect it to the tv if so what type cheers

I have just attempted to set up my new Sony 5200 amp and have failed miserably!!! Can someone please tell me what I’m doing wrong. My current setup is a Sony Bravia KDL-40V2000 HDTV, Sony DVP-NS400D DVD player, Sky HD box and a Sony PS3, plus some Sony 5.1 speakers.
Heres how I’ve connected it all to the amp. TV to amp via HDMI cable to the HDMI output socket. The Sky HD box and the PS3 are connected to the amp via 2 HDMI leads to 2 out of the 3 HDMI input sockets (so still having one spare HDMI input socket).
As my dvd player is a few years old and has scart sockets I bought a cable that connects into a scart socket of the dvd player and has the Blue, Green and Red connections that go into the back of the amp. When I thought I connected it all correctly and tried it out, I found that I had audio for everything but only got picture and audio when watching Sky.

System Setup so far – hdd and optical drives.

besides that, if you guys can help, what im looking for mainly in a computer is a processor that is duo or quad core, 2.4 ghz and up.
at least 3 or 4 GB of ram
a good video card
and an operating system , XP or Vista.
the motherboard is where i freeze, because i honestly dont know which ones are good or not. if you guys can like build your computers and show your spec on this question please do so! but that it fits in my price range.
P.S: i don’t mind buying the parts separately, i heard they come cheaper that way.

It took my ages and ages, but i finally got a picture on my T.V from my 360, but its black and white!!
All the wires are plugged in and are in their correct places, the scart lead is fully in.
OH and it isn’t an HDTV btw.
How do I get the picture in colour!?
ANY IDEAS?
THANKS!!
