I am looking at HD Plasma TVs. I also have a windows media PC with a DVI and VGA output that I need to connect to the TV. Problem is that only a few plasmas have a VGA input. How well does HDMI work with the DVI outputs on PCs? Is a VGA input really necessary?

LXT asked:


This is what I have:

MX6450 Notebook
Video Integrated RadeonĀ® X300 based graphics
1 - VGA External Connector
Headphone / Audio Out

Panasonic TH-42PD50U 42″ Flat-Panel EDTV Plasma TV
2 composite, 2 S-Video, 2 component, 1 HDMI inputs

StarTech VGA/HD with Audio to HDMI Format Converter

Plus all the cables to connect them together. However when I connect them, there are no pictures or sound. I’ve tried using the Fn key, but my options are “Monitor” or “Laptop”. So I select the monitor which gives me nothing.

So I can even connect them together or did I waste my time/money?

Silver asked:


I wish I could listen to some shows over the radio, when I am not near a tv set. For example, if I don’t have a tv available let’s say I want to listen to the Dr. Phil show, or my local news broadcast. Can I pick up the audio signal from a tv station on a radio? Do I need a special radio?

pursuitv asked:


I was told by a sales person that I could not take a plasma TV home safely by either lying it on the back of the package or on the front of the package. He said that we “could,” but it would shift the gases turning the screen green and at the same time void the warranty. I think it was because the man was lazy and it was about to be the end of his shift. Is there validity to his statement?
