Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?) On my Samsung HDTV, I have 5 different settings for color warmth-cool. Does anyone know the purpose of these, and are any settings harmfull to the life of the CRT tube?

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?) I love my crt hdtv altho I have tuned down the contrast it seems to cause my eye to strain even with a light on. I have been told that a rear projection CRT would have less eye strain than a direct view. Silly question but is this true

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?) Hi, I'm currently using component cables to interface my CRT HDTV to the cable company's HD STB. Both the HDTV and STB have HDMI ports. I've been looking online for a decently priced HDMI cable ($40 or less) to run between the two. My main...

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?) I've read on some sites that CRTs are somewhat susceptible to burn-in and that always keeping the contrast setting below 50 bars is a good idea. I have a Philips 34PW8502 which I've set to 49 contrast (heh)... but the picture is just so...

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?) My Samsung rear-projection CRT manual states that I should watch no more than 15% of my programs each week in 4:3 mode in order to avoid burn-in. That's almost laughable. If I watch only network programs broadcast in HD I'll exceed that...

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?) Hi, I was leaning towards the 26" Aquos and went across to the local Circuit City and was really disappointed by the non-HD picture quality. Considering that most programming is still not HD, I am no longer inclined towards this model. I...

Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops (More info?) I see laptops with 14" and 15" screens both described as being designed to be run at 1024x768. I presume that 1024x768 is more suited to 14" screens and that this resolution on a 15" screen would look /stretched/. Is this correct? I'm...

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?) I have a Phillips 34" HDTV Widescreen CRT and I had been using a Dishnetwork 6000 receiver with the set. I recently upgraded the receiver to a 811. With the 811 I cannot center the 16:9 or 4:3 picture. Everything I have tried doesn't seem...

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?) I've decided I want to get a widescreen Sony 34 CRT". They look great in the store on HD signal. But what will it look like when I bring it home and hook up to regular old Adelphia digital cable- non HD? If I pay the extra bucks and get HD...

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?) Recently got a Sony XBR CRT set.Almost no cable programming is available in my town...and Dish TV says "no network channels available in your area.I assume that Direct TV is the same. So,I bought a Radio Shack powered antenna for OTA...
