Hey,
Looking to get a small TV for the kitchen. I went up to Best Buy to look at
their TVs ( I have a gift card there) and narrowed it down to these two:
LG - 20 720p Widescreen Flat-Panel LCD HDTV
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8259449st=LG+20LS7D+lp=1typ
To tell you the truth, you should look into Gateway - 24 Widescreen
Flat-Panel TFT-LCD HD Monitor
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8550588type=productid=118856
0797577
Just connect your Cable box via Component connection or S-Video and your
set. Also, you want to get at least 1080i
Thanks for the quick comments.
Nice monitor, but too tall, no chance of mounting on wall in this location
either, which would allow a larger set. This will be a straight cable feed,
no box, at least for now. I might try some OTH HD though. I have not found
any 1080i in this size range TV.
Does anyone have any experience with the subject dsl modem?
Its' f/w is 6.3.0r7. It appears to know all about ATT.
I've just spent 2 days trying to get one to work here in Bellsouth-land
with an Intellinet #523295 router. No go no way.
I am very close to turning in my 'network' badge!
I may do

The Sharp unit seems to have the better contrast ratio and a higher pixel
count. It's a 16:10 display which should make it slightly more squarish than
the LG. However, television programming and movies don't come in a 16:10
format; so, you will likely see vertical bars on the top and bottom or
1080 resolution is kind of wasted on a screen that size if you're just using
it for TV. Well assuming you aren't just a few inches away. Plus there is
the problem that if you're mostly watching standard tv (i.e. not hdtv) the
not high end tvs don't scale the signal as well.

Whichever is the cheapest. Paraphrasing a more articulate rant I posted here a
few months back on this same question; 'tis all the same more or less, we are
old men from the dark ages that grew up in a time when certain burners were
either really good or really sucked. It's a non-issue today.
When anything hits the commodity stage it's all about price and not
really name brand.

Asus (liteon based) and the pioneer and plextors.
I use Lite-On these days as
my Samsung works just fine, rip wise. Very fast.

I don't know about that. Go buy a samsung dvdrw that will only rip at 2x vs
a liteon that rips at full speed. The fact that they are same price and its a
commodity means jack.
Tharin,
Between the two (opposite sides of the aisle, ugh), the Sharp seemed to have
a better picture, but not by much. I saw that about the LG speakers.
Thanks,
Bobby

Eli,
Are you saying that the standard TV picture will be worse on this size TV?
Thanks,

It was a cheap repair, IF you like taking things apart...
What got me looking for the cause was -- I just got two DVRs for myself,
refirbs, (currently $50ea) both Lite-Ons, and heard (after purchase) that they
have a high failure rate in a very short time frame... Mine are DVD only units.
...the oldest file in the folder?
I am making backups by copying via Windows to a
USB drive. Really dislike it when it sets
the timestamps of the folders and subfolders
to today's date.
Has anyone run across software that will
preserve the timestamp of the folders?
I was thinking of using
preserve timestamps? use robocopy! there's even a fancy GUI for it now
free from MS
