I'm looking for some help with buying a HDTV. I would like to keep it between $500-$1000 with a good 5 yr warranty.

I'm open to all suggestions, lcd or plasma, or whatever anyone has to say.

Are there any deals somewhere? I know Circuit City will beat prices...

I see a lot of people here at XDA who know what they are doing and so why not ask for help?

Thanks

edit: Does anyone know when the industry switches so that I might get an older model for cheap?

what do you mean does anyone know when the industry switches?

Sometime in February 2009, but this will not effect HDTVs as they are already digital. This will only affect older model TV's that require an analog signal.

Hey mate

can I suggest you go to www.avforums.com. This is a forum all about audio/visual kit and by far and away one of the VERY best places for advice like this.

It is a UK site but the models and comments will be relevant to you. They will probably even know where to get "it" in the US as well as a lot of them buy kit and ship it over.... gota love that American "Monopoly money" :D
[Off-topic] yi3o8:
Thanks.

I have checked out avforums, I know what to get, but I am trying to find a deal cuz I'm a poor ol' college student.

By switching over, I mean getting rid of all the old models, I don't plan on using an antenna for a hdtv :rolleyes:

Thanks again, and I'll post when I figure it out. So far, a 42" element for $700 at circuit city looks good, but I am trying to get the $400 warranty down :eek:
[Off-topic] Monty Burns:
Over here in the UK, as I understand it, we are about to launch the first freeview HD "over antena" where previously it has been the domain of Freesat or cable.

$700 for a 42"???? Thats a bit cheap to say the least, what model is it? Is it only 480 or does it go to 720? I doubt for that price its 1080. $400 for a warranty? Doesn't it come with one included? Us Brits really start appreciating our "1984 Sales Of Goods Act"! :D
[Off-topic] mrpiggae:
I picked up my 42" LCD at Best Buy. I managed to haggle to sales manager down to $980. Came out to $1230 out the door with tax and the four year warranty included.

The new LCD's are amazing. Ultra thin, crystal clear quality. I run mine in 1080p via HDMI cables; The HD cable box, the X Box 360, the Blueray player, all via HDMI. Gorgeous.
[Off-topic] Monty Burns:
42" is too small for a 1080p screen. Over on AVForums they suggest the bare minimum for seeing the extra detail that a 1080 screen gives, you need at least a 46 and ideally a 50 .... or its just wasted and the human eye cannot see the diference between 720 and 1080.

Out of interest, what model can you get for that money? (excluding warranty)
[Off-topic] yi3o8:
The model is

Element 42" Plasma HDTV

(ELE PHD42W39US)

Asked to get the tax covered which makes it $700. The specs look good, but I would need the warranty even if it was a name brand.
[Off-topic] yi3o8:
Decided on...

I realize noone will probably care, but I decided on a philips 32" that I like. I was told they were bought by LG, but this tv looked good and so I went for it.

I got it from newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16889104111 and was given a $40 discount and it came with free shipping. With a 4 yr warranty it all came to $760.

This tv from sam's club would have been $638 + $78 3 yr warranty (which I don't trust walmart to be easy to deal with) + $44 taxes = $760 ... plus a lot of gas.

From circuit city, I could have got a 40" samsung or polaroid for about $1000 after the 3 yr warranty, or a 37" vizio for $785 - all of these being open box and reduced.

I went for higher end and a place that I trust.

[Off-topic] jtoyz2:
Hah something on XDa that i know more than a few people...with tv i would go with Sony or Samsung LCD their new line are very good...deep black level i would go with samsung 6 or 7 series...and Sony their new XBR8 coming out soon which is over price but should be very nice...some people say that HDTV they all look the same nuh uh...lil things like 120htz and 1080p matters but only if u get something bigger than a 40 inch...best is research on avsforum cause stores like bestbuy and all of them set their tv on display or store mode where the contrast and brightness at highest u got to see a tv in dark room to apppreciate its beauty...
[Off-topic] yi3o8:
Yep, little things do matter

Thanks for the advice. I couldn't find a 120 mhz for cheap, and I'm on a budget. But I looked very closely at bigger tvs that did not look as good as the philips 5000 series which has a 26000:1 contrast ratio. If I had more money I would have gone with the 7000 series and if I had a ton of money I would have went the route you mentioned :cool:

Stupid commercialism, it's like: spend just this much more and you get this this and that. If you try to get a deal and buy junk, you realize these things make a big difference. And 1080p will be standard by next year...
[Off-topic] Monty Burns:
I hope not!

I would imagine the bulk of TV's are the 40" or below area and thats useless for 1080. As I mentioned and the poster above you need somewhere in the 40's and idealy higher foro 1080 to be any use. Mines a 46" Samsung and to be honest, I can't really tell the diference when playing a BD through it from a 720 or 1080 - mind you, my eyes are 34 years old :D

If it becomes standard, a lot of people are going to be paying extra for tech in the tv thats useless.
[Off-topic] jtoyz2:
i dont think 1080p will be standard by next year...HD and Digital will be...cause 720p is HDTV...if you on a budget buying a TV you are looking at the right direction with Philips LCd they are very good...
[Off-topic] kweng_ca:
I just recently bought one of those new Vizio Plasma's and I must say I am quite impressed. This is the first hdtv I have purchased since my old fat sony one has lasted for more than 15 years haha. I got the 32 inch model for only 549 from walmart. That seems like a pretty damn good deal to me for a 32 inch screen. Picture quality is excellent even compared to my friend's auquos. My only gripe is the sound quality inst the best coming from the small drivers under the screen. However, 549 for a 32 inch plasma is almost unheard of for the type of quality that you receive with these displays. Good luck.
[Off-topic] jtoyz2:
Vizio are decent tv...the best out of the lesser known brand...but if u can buy it at costco because their return policy is 90 days...and in that time frame u can decide if that something u would like to keep...Aquos have the best black level on most LCD...their black level can be compare with Plasma sometime even better...of course lcd and plasma u can compare the difference only if its 40inch or bigger...anything smaller i think most brand would do...

Hey, i'm a lucky owner of my Seicane Head Unit for my old Honda Jazz.

I'm looking for a MCU file of my HU.

Right now i have MTCP_HF_V3.30_1 version

It's Android 9, PX5 device

If anyone can help with MCU file (or provide a list of file which is fully complatible with current one) i will really appreciate it.
[MTCD Software Development] themissionimpossible:
mmm... MTCP? not MTCE?

Compatibility with MTCD/MTCE (this forum section) is not very clear...

BTW, this section is for the software development... you should ask in the general sections...
[MTCD Software Development] LordBel:
Yes, MTCP. As far as i understand P - is for 8-channel audio. Maybe there are some other differences, but this is the one i'm aware of.

Can you please share what you have? i will try to check if it can be flashed on my HU.

Thanks!
[MTCD Software Development] themissionimpossible:
I have a MTCE_HF with MCU v. 3.30 (the latest known on the net), but I suspect it's not compatible with your HU, but anyway you have already a v 3.30, even if it's a v. 3.30_1 (for MTCP?).
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] klmyko:
Hello there,

Recently after updating my OnePlus 7t to open beta 3 I've noticed a strange issue with the cameras. About 2 hours after every reboot camera related features start malfunctioning. I can't use face unlock, because "camera is being used by other apps", I can neither use the stock camera app because I get a toast notification saying "the camera is in use". The main back and front camera seems to be working in every other app like snapchat, gcam (although telephoto and ultrawide don't work on gcam). After reboot everything goes back to normal for some time.

I tried:

- cleaning data of all camera services and the camera app itself and face unlock app

- re-adding my face model

- uninstalling AUX camera magisk fix (which enables telephoto and ultrawide to work in gcam)

Is anyone else having this issue? Iwould love to solve this problem without reverting back to open beta 2, as it lacks some features I like in OB3. Thanks in advance for help!
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] kryolyt:
I am facing the same issue with the latest beta update? Got any fix for this?
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] v.konvict:
Are you sure you dont have some app spying on you. Probably using the camera thats why its being reported in use
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] Deleted member 5408779:
It's caused by GCam. Not sure about stock OOS cam.
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] klmyko:
I doubt it, as the issue is only in stock Oxygen OS apps (camera, face unlock). My theory is that they use some camera service made by Oneplus which has broke in my phone. Other apps, such as Snapchat or Gcam do not utilise such service, and the main cameras work just fine in those apps (telephoto and ultrawide don't work, because they propably must be accesed via this service). But it's just my theory

[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] F4rewell01:
This issue already applies to the 2nd phone I ordered. If I use the camera app with the standard photo mode with the main lens I cant manually change exposure nor can I take pictures while manually focusing. I have to wait until the focus is done and then after 2-3 second I am able to take photos.

This issue isnt present when using Gcam or some generic HD camera apps from the google playstore which leads me to think that it might be a bug indeed. I am not alone with this issue since I found at least 2 other people in german forums who mentioned the same. Is this something anyone from here experienced as well?

Okay i give up i installed the SPL okay want a cooked rom i have gone for the onlinex one, then i got the radio the one that says highly recommended. Did what it said unzip with the RUU then run. Problem is i have when it gets to the gray bit with the progress bar as well as the one on the p.c it refuses to do it. Then comes up with the error then tells me to recover but it dont need to as the device started up and says skip if the colours dont come on.

I am trying to install the Radio v1.00.25.05 (Quad Band,Save Power and have better Network Connection!) "Highly Recommended"

The current one is 1.34.831.1
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Corian:
Do you use the non-developer edition of Hard-SPL?

If so you need a signed version of the radio update.

I have made signed versions of the radios available, you can find them here:

http://htcroms.aplace4u.biz/signed/radio/

You can safely upgrade/downgrade the radio without the device doing a hard-reset.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] badman112:
Im i still installing the same version v1.00.25.05 but this one is signed im guessing both are identical only that this one is signed.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Jailbreaking is an iOS thing, in android it is called rooting, they are not even close to the same thing, they are two completely different animals.

Rooting android allows you to modify whatever you want with, theoretically, no limits. Jailbreaking iOS gives the user the ability to modify an iOS device but it still has limitations on what you can and cannot do.

If all you want to do is install a PDF reader and install Calibre, no, you shouldn't need to root(jailbreak) your device to do those things.
