    HDTV Eye Doctor????

    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

    CRT Contrast/Burn-In Question

    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...

    Model recommendations

    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...

    New to Laptops

    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...
