What TV is the best for BOTH picture quality and sound?

best dvd blu ray player 2011 image

Q. Which TV utilizes the best of both picture color and surround sound?
And from what company?
A pretty decent screen size, maybe 30" or something. And An HD TV (obviously), one that can support game consoles and Blue-ray. As well as having the best possible picture and sound quality. Especially when it comes to playing games and HD channels, and so on.

Answer
Not enough information. What screen size do you want? What will you do with the TV--general viewing? A lot of sports? A game box? DVD player? Blu-ray player?

The "best" TV in one category is not necessarily the best in any other category. Update your question with the missing details for the best possible answer.
-------------------
Per your additional details. The best set matching your criteria is the LG 32LE5400, per the latest Consumer Reports ratings. 32 inch, 1080p screen, 120 hz refresh rate, LED backlight. It's number one out of 16 32-inch sets tested by CR in its March 2011 issue. Should have a dazzling HD picture, including for Blu-ray, and decent performance with a game box.

What are differences between Wii and Xbox 360 graphically?

Jake

The only things I can see that are different between the two are detail, lighting effects, smoothness, and maybe a higher bit rate or frames per second or something like that. Does anyone know exactly?

Answer
Well I dont have 360 but I do have PS3 and Wii
When I firstly bought the wii i thought the graphics were pretty good
But than I bought PS3 and thought the wii's graphic's are hideous
And I got amazed with the PS3's graphic
I know cuz PS3 and 360 hav similar graphics
If this helps:This should help you alot!!!Honestly:Well if your thinking about graphics than Wii is out of the picture
My favourite is PS3
Just look at the sharp points of each system:
360
Pros:
Really good graphics
Really Good online
Not that expensive
cool features coming out
lots of good game
Cons:
online isnt free
not enough disc space to make a really big game(GTA 4 was gonna be bigger though 360 doesnt have enuf memory on its disc)
HD dvd is pointless
They overheat and break easily though
In one or more version it isnt even hd(lol?)also it goes at max of 1080i and upscales to 720p & 1080p
The HD drive costs more than 100$(what the hell?)
PS3:
Pros
LOTS OF DISC SPACE
on blu-ray
The blu-player is built in(360 HD isnt free its over 50$ + HD is dead!)
Amazing 1080p graphics
FREE ONLINE
more of the features are free
lots of good games such as MGS4(and exclusives)
LOTS OF GOOD GAMES COMING/already OUT LIKE littleBIGPLANET
Cons
Online isnt good as 360
games take long to develop
price

Wii:
Pros:
Controls CAN BE fun
Brawl
Cons:
Honestly the Wii graphics are below normal(no offence)
HORRIBLE ONLINE and barely any games have online
not that much good games coming out
games get watered down
Not a descent roster of games
Overall I think:
Though 360 is doing best
PS3 has by far the brightest future
The Wii has the best controls
PS3 has the best graphics
360 has the best online
Though the wii doesnt have that much good games coming out and the amount of good games coming out is less
go on gamespot and check how much 9.0's wii games got
and check PS3 and 360 also
And the next console is probably coming out somewhere late 2011-2012(early to mid)The PS3 now has just has just as almost good games as 360 compared to 360(Remember the one year more)
So overall you decide what you want

Have Wii and PS3 and played 360 alot and comman sense on 360

What is wrong with my surround sound speakers?

best dvd blu ray player 2011 image

V.L.

I have a HTS3400 Phillips 5.1 Surround Sound System, that recently, somewhere around my viewing of Black Swan, stopped working in the right front/rear speakers. I know it's not the issue of the speakers themselves because I switched the inputs for the left and right speakers and they switched from the issue going from right to left (hopefully that makes sense). What should I do? is it a problem with the audio source? i.e my bluray player or is it internal? Help please D:

Answer
Well offhand I'd say that something inside the main unit has quit. It has a tuner in it so set it to that function and if there still is a problem with the right front and rear then you will know it's an internal problem. The same can be said about it's DVD function. I'm assuming that you have an external component style Blu-ray player as the specs of the Phillips HTS3400 do not list one. As a recommendation, in the future you may want to consider purchasing a surround receiver and set of quality speakers rather than HTIB. The problems with these things is that the main unit often gives out and you are left with speakers that can't be used with anything else. Question # 6 on this FAQ page addresses such issues: http://faqaudio.blogspot.com/2011/04/frequently-askes-questions-about.html

What video game system should I get?

Eric

This is going to sound really weird but out of Nintendo, Playstation, and Microsoft, which one is going to stay popular the longest? I am starting to hold off the idea of purchasing a Nintendo Wii due to the fact it almost seems like a nice secondary system to have. Not so much like when it was just N64 and Playstation. Any good ideas? Specs would also be nice.

Answer
PS3 Is free online play and a blu-ray player and the past has proven it's more "durable" meaning not to many problems such as red ring of death

Xbox 360 has a better online system and thats all i know that is better about it.

Wii is more about game play and has alot of family and mini game type games.
