What are your thoughts so far on Vista?

Wed, 11 Jun 2008 13:52:29 -0400

How many of you have upgraded to Vista? We have only moved a few of our customers over, we are holding out as long as we can. We have moved over internally, and I'm on the fence. As time goes on, I am enjoying some of the new features, but there are some kinks to iron out. I have had to upgrade my memory twice.

What do I need to know when purchasing a new HDtv

Wed, 11 Jun 2008 13:21:49 -0400

There are a couple things that make a tv a good tv..first of all the size of the tv in conjucntion with the size of the room...Also, LCD or Plasma? LCD and Plasma both claim to have the same life, although LCD has with my experiance a greater fail rate within the first year..Plasmas have a higher contrast ratio, wich to me make Plasma the best choice. The higher the contrast ratio, the best the tv. For LCD there is a new thing they like to throw in....it IS not the true contrast ratio, but they throw it in to throw off consumers. It is called Dynamic contrast. If that is listed, make sure to ask what the static contrast ratio is. Also, look for a TV that has burn in protection. My tv has a pixil shift, which keeps the picture moving at all times to prevent burn in..
