Plasma TV turns off

Ha ha ha. That's hilarious. I'm glad to hear that because they were acting so ugly in that thread, they weren't thinking of very simple answers to the problem. I wonder why it was on the first page? Is it that slow around here? Actually, I wandered into this forum searching for a little info...

Anybody here have experience with a Toshiba LED TV?

I bought a 50" Toshiba LED tv for my in-laws for Christmas and it has been great. It really has a good picture. Skin tones and all that. The only thing is it is not a smart tv so it doesn't have all the features that go with being a smart tv. They love it.

Plasma TV turns off

Since the thread on the plasma tv turning off was closed without anyone posting this......here it is. Check the cooling fans in the back of the cabinet to be running. If one or more fans fail it will allow the circuits to heat up enough to trip off on thermal overload..............much like a...

tired of crappy wifi signal in my bedroom

I agree with lopri. I have a Linksys WRT54G wireless router(several years old) in one end of the house where my desktop computer, and a smart TV is located. We decided to turn a bedroom in the far end of the house into a media room but the signal from the Linksys router was weak. Bought a Amped...

I just bought the 7560 model and would love to put a 256 SSD in it except I am still a little unclear how to transfer the data from the original drive. I have never used the program the guy in the article used.

Samsung mSATA SSD?

This is a quote from the 2nd paragraph of the article linked to above. "Unfortunately, the Pm830 SATA 3 256GB mSATA SSD is only available through system purchase and not by retail sales."

I just bought this at buy.com for $319 shipped & no tax. I would like to swap the memory out for a couple of the 4 GB sticks but wound prefer dual channel if it can even use it. Has anyone put the DC ram in one of these? I am also looking for a 256 GB SSD for it.

Question: Harmony 880 Remote. Using one "device" to control another?

Using the "activities" feature of the Harmony remote is the nicest aspect of owning one. I have a HDTV, a Denon receiver, a BD player, and a HDDVR cable box, and they all work beautifully together using the activities button. What's really nice about it is the ease of use for my wife &...

Bluetooth headphones

+1 on the LG HBS 700. I use mine when riding my motorcycle. I like them so much, I got a backup set in case something happens to them, but so far they have been tough as nails. I replaced the rubber part that fits in the ear with the foam molding type I got at Radio Shack and they rock. Literally.

I know the Onkyo TX-NR709 supports ARC through a HDMI connection. If the Panny has a ARC HDMI port, that will be a plus in that you will not need a digital audio cable.

Contek Sunglasses -- $9.95 qualifies for super saver

Contek Sunglasses -- $9.95 qualifies for super saver

I can't buy sunglasses on line because you can't really tell how wide they actually are. My head is kinda fat and if I buy the narrow ones they press against the temples on my head and make me pass out and hit the floor and break my nose. Then my head AND my nose is fat. Some things you just...
