japernia asked:


READ CAREFULLY here. I have a Sharp Aquos 37″ LCD TV. There were many different models of the 37″ Aquos LCD TV. Some came with a VGA adapter, some came with a DVI (HDMI) adapter, and some didn’t come with any. The native resolution is an awkward one. I’ve connected my computer to this television in every possible way, using every possible cable at every possible resolution. I either get no picture, blurry picture, pixelated picture or ghosted picture. When used as a TV, it is awesome! When used as a monitor, it is very poor. I WANT EVERYONE’S EXPERIENCED OPINION on what they prefer as an LCD TV (not plasma) and I want all the specs too please. I want to know what cable you are using and how it connects. Is it composite, component, DVI/HDMI VGA S-video whatever. I want to know what video card, what resolution on the card AND what the native (preferred/default) resolution is on the LCD TV. What size it the TV, the model # etc. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.

We’ve had this TV for more than 6 years. Never had a problem until last week when we got digital cable. Now, if we want to watch a movie that has a PG, PG13, or R rating, a block pops up. We called the cable company, they took a look at it, and informed us there is nothing they can do. The problem is our TV. I’ve sat done for hours at at a time trying to figure out the 4 digit password, but you can imagine how frustrating that is! I’ve unplugged the TV numerous times. And the number for the manufacturer (Konka) is an international number! Before I go ahead and make the expensive phone call, or go buy a new TV, does anyone have any tips, or ideas?

I want to be getting good tv reception and ontop be getting other waves. We live next to the city and there are hundreds of satellites. Some people are able to capture some of this using their tv antennas thus they see extra channels free. How is it done? Also, which is the best wire to use for my tv antenna? How does it look?

What happens to tv band radios when television signals go digital?

Jason W asked:


Next year I believe television broadcasts are going to go digital. What will happen to your “tv band” radio signals. I would assume you will no longer receive the tv band signals. Am I mistaken?

Who decides when to have a TV timeout? When are they decided and what are the rules for it?

heckyesh1 asked:


I know what TV timeouts are, so please don’t tell me what I already know. Obviously the teams get to decide when their own timeouts are, but who decided when the TV timeouts are? The referees?

This goes for basketball, football, and any other sport that has them.

How do I connect my laptop to my TV using the monitor out and an rgb in?

tv
Richard C asked:


I have Sharp Aquos TV which has very few input options. I bought a VGA SVGA DB15 Male to RGB TV Out RCA Adapter Cable to connect my laptop to it (to display the computer screen on the TV). Once connected, at best I get flickering, mostly pink static on the TV but mostly not even that.

Is there going to be any way to connect them?
