fawwaz Posted April 8, 2001 Share Posted April 8, 2001 Hello Guys, I plan on buying a new TV for my new decorated room. I Plan to use the 4.1s>as my sound system!! Anyway I think my local dealers suck ,ripoffs and idiots. So I am plannig to buy from the web. My max budget is 500$(more or less) ,so I plan to get a TV from 29"-32". I would love to hear your thoughts and opnions and how to connect them to 4.1 (do they need to have a 2 Aux outputs=4)and would the line in on the 4.1 provide the surrond sound? Also what do you think should I buy? I am checking this out: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004YMBT/qid=986774458/sr=1-3/ref=sc_e_4/104-8600428-6083115 and http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004SSS8/qid=986774368/sr=1-8/ref=sc_e_9/104-8600428-6083115 I think these TV should work fine here in lebanon we have PAL system and 220V 50Hz Thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janko10 Posted April 8, 2001 Share Posted April 8, 2001 dude, i don't know if it will work, but if you can get a sony wega down there, they ROCK. My dad just got a 36in or whatever and the picture quality is OUTSTANDING when we play a dvd. go for one of those if you can (you may have to stretch that $500 bucks though ) J ------------------ JOIN THE "AMY FOR PRESIDENT" CAMPAIGN.

Sam_D Posted April 10, 2001 Share Posted April 10, 2001 The line-in jack on the 4.1s will not give you surround sound, but the line in on your sound card should. Yeah, those Sony Wega Flat screen tv's are great. Here, I saw a 27' Sony for about $475. It looked good, but when I went shopping for a new tv for my room I went with a 27' Phillips for about $250. The sony was too expensive. Hope this helps, Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatKnight Posted April 10, 2001 Share Posted April 10, 2001 i thought it was called sony vega Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beday00 Posted April 10, 2001 Share Posted April 10, 2001 it is vega. it looks like a w but it is just supposed to be the v's shadow. also the 36xbr version of the vega is over 1500 dollars so it probably out of range but the picture quality is amazing. i've got the 20" and there is no way i can go back to a regualr tv now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beday00 Posted April 10, 2001 Share Posted April 10, 2001 oh yeah, and as far as connecting the tv output to the promedia all you need is one output and then you just need to get some y-adapters from radio shack or best buy as well as some adapters to go from the component plug to female 3.3mm stereo.

janko10 Posted April 10, 2001 Share Posted April 10, 2001 no, it's not vega, it's wega. when sony types it in text on manuals (and not the fancy style font, just plain text) and on their website, it's wega. If if was vega, they would type vega in plain text, not wega. J ------------------ JOIN THE "AMY FOR PRESIDENT" CAMPAIGN. OUR PLATFORM: ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US, MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!

Ray Garrison Posted April 10, 2001 Share Posted April 10, 2001 According to the Sony website: http://www.sel.sony.com/SEL/consumer/ss5/office/television/trinitronrtmfdtrinitronwegatm35to36inch/kv-36fv16_specs.shtml it's WEGA! As in: WEGA: Sony televisions that incorporate flat screen technology, nicknamed for the brightest star in the constellation Lyra. Of course, if we then look up the constellation Lyra, we find: General: A small but bright northern constellation lying between DECL=+30 and DECL=+40 and RA=18h and RA=19h. The fifth-brightest star of the sky, alpha Lyr, called Vega (arabic for "stone eagle"), radiates from the top Lyra with a pure white colour. Together with alpha Cyg, Deneb , and alpha Aql, Atair, Vega forms the Summer Triangle. So it's supposed to be Vega but Sony mispelled it Wega. Go figure.

CatKnight Posted April 10, 2001 Share Posted April 10, 2001 in other words, it's vega. it just happens to be misspelled in the manual... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Garrison Posted April 10, 2001 Share Posted April 10, 2001 I like Toshibas. Check out: C:\Documents and Settings\rgarrison\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK89\Toshiba Digital Televisions.htm I've had a 35" Toshiba for about 8 years and have had zero problems with it. Color balance is still excellent, never even had a hiccup. The new FST Black® SuperTUBE sets are (far as I can tell) as good as the Sony's, at least with DVD or cable inputs, don't know about higher resolution signals, and they cost a lot less. Typical web price for 32" version with component video and S-video inputs is about $500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Movie Freak Posted April 14, 2001 Share Posted April 14, 2001 LOl, poor guy, just trying to help and you vultures let him have it! Still it was pretty funny, LET THE HACKING BEGIN! hehe. As far as TV's go, if you can't afford a flat screen larger than 27" (anything smaller is a waste, IMO) then go with a Toshiba, every consumer magazine and display model I've seen is hands down the best standard TV you can buy. ------------------ Movies take us to a place we would like to be and away from a place we would like to forget.

Ray Garrison Posted April 16, 2001 Share Posted April 16, 2001 Hummm... Micro$oft, in its infinate wisdom, appears to assume that when you cut and paste a link from an e-mail you sent your brother pointing him to the cool Toshiba TeeVee set, the resultant link should point back at the location of the LINK you sent your brother, not to the location that the link links to. If you follow that... Here's what I was trying to post: http://www.toshiba.com/tacp/tv/32A40.html i HATE computers...
