Great sorround sound and image quality! I'm thinking of buying myself a Bravia, and I just spotted a really good offer for it on bit.ly/3uQcai at wavee, featuring the products at less than $100!!!

Nancycou commented on Product Review: FLIP ULTRA HD BATTERY CHARGNG PROBLEMS

Nancycou — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 10:07:08 -0600

All...thanks so much for posting these....I had the same problem. I was getting ready to RMA and with all of your notes I am not going to do it. I tried using AA batteries as Flip support told me they would last for weeks....Not so much....AA lasts for 1 hour at best. So I tried regular Duracell rechargeable batteries and they worked like a champ. I also reinserted the Flip battery and now it is charging in my PC ok. One thing I noticed is that the generic wall chargers work the worst. They "overheat" the unit very quickly; so unfortunately I am not going to use it. Good luck.....

I had the same problem initially with the sound quality. I was going to return the tv, but after doing some research tried to use some s-video cables and that fixed the issue. The coaxial cables just down provide what we need to use our tv.

ATTENTION!!! I've had this 40RV525U for nearly year and it IS NOT a REGZA! It's a step below a regza. My tv has HDMI problems and the tv has low sound.

It did pretty well although there were some issues with video processing and resolution clarity to maximum HD output. But it compensates all the minor weak spots by delivering excellent color, contrast and fine black details.

Hi, I made a litle tool to easaly download your video's and images from your camcorder. I made it for my legria HF200 but it can be used for any camcorder. You don't need to connect your camera, just insert you sd-card in your pc or connect the camera to the PC and download the video's to your PC. You'l need dotnet framework 3.5 to use this software. You can download it at http://users.telenet.be/truyens/

eptexas commented on Product: Samsung PN50B450 50-Inch 720p Plasma HDTV

eptexas — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 22:05:40 -0500

I think Plasma is better because you can see images from any angle. However, stay away from the Samsung line because, after less than 30 days, you will get an image burn regardeless if you play games or if you watch regular TV. I speak from experience. I bought Samsung PN50B450 50-Inch 720p Plasma HDTV because it had the best picture in the Best Buy store for the price. Well, after 20 days, the screen had started to get the burn-in. I called Best Buy, they came out and said they couldn't do anything because Samsung won't authorize a replacement. I called Samsung. Their tech came out and said the same thing. It's written in the warranty that screen Burn-In is not covered. I understand that, but after 20 days? How about repairing the TV? Samsung tech said I'm stuck with the TV and this problem.

I have had this problem with two Flip Ultra HDs and was ready to return my second one, when I tried this advice and it worked for me as well. Thanks.

I was in the market for a superzoom myself a few months ago and ended up with the Panasonic FZ28, here's my setup: http://www.hawkee.com/systems/45/ It's a great camera.

This TV worked for two weeks or so, then it displays a green noisy grid over most of the screen after being on for a few minutes. It doesn't appear to be the screen itself since the display calibration pictures and the screen saver icon are both clear and crisp, but with either the component (DVD) or HDMI (cable box) the display is unviewable. We will be exchanging shortly, and hopefully the replacement will be better. Two open-box/return units on the shelf at best buy is slightly disturbing. Why did they get returned?

Jerome.Nichols commented on Product Review: Great Purchase

All TVs are like that. This one may just not have a normalizer like some other TVs

ar1es99 commented on Product Review: Can't use them to workout

I had the same problem when i started jogging. i sweat alot the the moisture destroys the remote/mic. after a couple of failures i finally made something that protects the remote/mic from moisture (even in the steam room) while still keeping it's functionality (you can even talk while its on without a sound muffle). check it out on ebay, just search "i-sweat"

I was very pleased with this product until the sound and picture started cycling on and off. I was told by Sony it needed a software update and I responded by asking them if it was defective and they said no that it was just a glitch--lol, what's the difference. They suggested a download fix, the repairman suggested a new circuit board was in order. I have the extended warranty and I think a new circuit board is just what the "doctor" ordered also, after all it's only a "glitch".

jameshale commented on Product Review: Superb 1080p Picture Quality

jameshale — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 22:30:47 -0500

Read your very nice review and am interested in possibly purchasing....but why this line:

"I popped the DVD into my Pioneer DVD player and experienced a very high quality picture although it is not 1080i or 1080p quality."

If the camera states that it is "Full HD 1080x1920," why are you claiming it is not?

I am also on Mac. Non-Intel based though. G5 dual PowerPC Sys 10.5.7 which will run iLife 09 and iMovie...supposedly. Do you need an HD version of iMovie?

Thank you.

I feel your pain. I too tried to update my tom tom 340 xl s and it rendered it into a $240 paper weight. The techs could not help me,although they did try!

e-user001's advice mostly worked for me. a few times it would still say "charging paused" and then i charged it again later.
