hi,
i like comedy, sci-fi and fantasy tv series
i want to ask about, is there any good new tv series like entourage, weeds, eureka?
and is there any tv-series with fantasy setting, like zena, hercules. i dont found any good fantasy "new series" recently
i like torchwood, the story is okey, but it seem like a cheap film when i saw the series, the camera make it look like a cheap movie.
so, is the any good "not look like a cheap film" and new may be year 2000+ that you recommend?
thanks
Any good tv series?
Based on the shows you listed here some I think you may like: Doctor Who, Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, the Dead Zone, Battle Star Galactica. Not sure how you feel about anime, but you can find some good series there, Fullmetal Alchemist, Cowboy Bebop, etc.

Does secular TV creep you out?
Inspired by a poster to another question who wrote (in part):
I enjoy many programs on TV...I think it is wonderful that Christian TV exists. I get sick and tired of watching, murder, rape, torture and sex every night on TV...be careful judging...We are not to judge but instead to pray.
Does secular TV creep you out?
Yes, "TV" is not good.
Besides i could wright far better than that, without killing, raping, torture, sex, or the like; i mean who couldn't?
Reply:Ah yes, Christian TV, where you can moralize against sex, murder, rape, and torture, while ignoring that that's most of what's actually in the Bible.
Reply:I just don't watch it.
It seems so childish.

Reply:I haven't seen any rape torture or sex lately. You must be confusing tv with those web sites you're visiting.

No thanks.

Where do you get to see rape, torture and sex every night on TV??
I must be watching the wrong danged shows!!
Reply:WOW! What programs are you watching? Don't they have cable where you live? Yikes. But anyway, I sure am glad you're not judging.
P.S. We BOTH know that it's impossible for TV to exist. It was created by science, and science is a big lie and a huge hoax.

As for non-Christian TV, too much violence for me.

I am so glad you have those televangelists asking you for money, or the on/off button and leave the regular programming alone.
Reply:It doesn't creep me out...but, it bores me....I am so tired of most reality shows that "vote" people off, encourage them to shack up, etc...
However, I do like the Amazing Race, which is about physical ability, mental aptitude, skill, and some pure luck....
I also like Lost, which seems original....
Most other t.v. just sucks, and I find myself watching Discovery or Public Television....oh, antiques roadshow is kinda fun.
Reply:Sure there's lots of junk programming. But there's lots of trash on Christian TV too. Watching Benny Hinn pile flopping bodies on the floor is about as trashy as it gets.

Is my TV a HDTV?
My tv info says,
Broadcast Format Displayed 480p (EDTV) • 480i (SDTV)
Broadcast Format Supported 1080i (HDTV) • 720p (HDTV) • 480p (EDTV) • 480i (SDTV)
Does this mean my tv only goes up to 480?
or it can go to 1080i?
I have a Samsung Plasma TV
Model Number: PPM42S3QX/XAA
Is my TV a HDTV?
Your TV most defenitely is HD. It says what format is currently being displayed as 480, but it says it will support 720 or 1080 (those are just the number of pixels horizontally across your screen).
You will probably need to find the function in your set up menu to figure out how to change the display to 1080. The instruction manual should give instructions for that. Sorry I am not familiar with your particular model.
Reply:RED ALERT. %26gt;%26gt;
This answer is entirely 100% wrong. Unfortunately the askwer is non e-mailable.. I hope he reads this. The TV stats specifically indicate it's EDTV.. the native resolution is less then HD. Report It
Reply:agree with grgurmg Report It
Reply:Actually.. no it's not. Contrary to the concensus so far, your TV is NOT AN HDTV but actually an EDTV.. though I understand how the confusion emerged. I suspected this was the case at first, then did some research to further confirm my thoughts.
EDTV stands for Enchanced or Extended Definition TV. That particular model is rather interesting as it supports many TV standards including NTSC, PAL, and all sorts of video input from different resolutions. Essentially the most the screen can display is 852 x 480 progressive. This does make it slightly better then a normal set as it is progressive and supports more horizontal resolution then standard TV, which is 720 by 480. This is of course because of the widescreen element of the screen. This essentially makes it a good standard definition TV for widescreen images, but not an HDTV.
By Broadcast Format Supported, they mean that the TV is capable of taking input signals at 1080i.. 720p.. etc... but will scale it down to display at 852 x 480 (EDTV 480p) on your set. How well it does this I'm not sure... but it's still slightly better then watching something in HD on a regular standard def TV.
For example if you actually plug a Blu-Ray/HD-DVD player up to it and watch a movie.. then compare it to the DVD of the same movie... the picture quality gain will only be minimal. There probably we be less noticable compression artifacts and the actual horizontal resolution would be higher.. since it can scale an actual 16:9 HD-DVD/Blu-Ray image down to the screens full 852 x 480 and take advantage of the extra resolution.. whereas as widescreen DVD is still only 720 x 480.. it just squeezes the widescreen image into the squarer picture space then stretches it out on your screen, thus less horizontal definition.
But yeah.. long story short.. it's not high definition. If you compare HDTV or an HD Moviedisc on your screen and on a real 1080p/i TV.. you'll see the huge difference.
Reply:Yes in an HDTV
Reply:NO it's not. This one is only EDTV (enhanced definition TV).
I pulled the user manual for PPM42S3Q which also covers the PPM50H3Q and the PPM63H3Q. The PPM42S3Q (the one you have) has a native display resolution of 852x480. It displays 852x480 progressive at 60 hertz so it can go up to 480p60.
It's a progressive display with the same aspect ratio as HDTV (16:9 or 1.77:1 meaning the width is 1.77 times the height).
The PPM50H3Q and the PPM63H3Q, however, have native display of 1366x768 which is more pixels than 720 but fewer pixels than 1080.
You can watch HD on your TV, but your TV will display it at 480p (either 1080 or 720 input signals)

Cannot get widescrren on new tv when watching DVD's?
We bought a new 32" lcd screen tv (samsung lcd hd ready). But when we watch DVD's there is a black line on the top and bottom of the screen. My old Tv (just a standard widescreen TV) didn't have this. The setting on the TV are set to 16:9.....but this makes no difference atl all. I'm sure that I could change the setting on my DVD player before, but I cannot now, it blocks me out of that setting area. Its an alba dvd player. any ideas???
Also, are all new tv's widescreen?

Are you using the FULLSCREEN Version of the DVDs or the Wide Screen version??
Full screen will create shadow boxes %26lt;%26lt;AND%26gt;%26gt; grey out the Widescreen choice in your Alba DVD player !!
I'm Good.....I'm well worth the points, I have dealt with this problem for years.....
Reply:On the DVD, press the "setup" button on remote, and most have a function under picture / TV or similar to reset it to send the output as widescreen.
Check the DVD manual if you can find it, of google with model No and widescreen to find out exactly where on your model.
Reply:Your Samsung widescreen TV displays black lines on top and bottom because the DVD was produced in an even wider ratio (compared to 16:9) such as 2.35:1. That's the problem. To fix this, your remote probably has a blue botton called "P. Size". Press that and it will stretch the picture so it fills the whole screen. Alternatively, you can go to your TV's menu and select the appropriate zoom level.
But if you do this, you will notice that the picture is a little stretched.
And no, not all new TVs are 16:9 widescreen. They are TVs (including CRT and LCDs) that still offer 4:3 aspect ratio.
If this didn't solve your problem, please provide your TV's model No. so I can check all the specifications.
Hope this helps!

Reply:The black line at the top and bottom of the screen is normal for 16:9 widesreens. There is no need to stress over it and it is not a problem, it is just how DVDs are played on wide-screen HDTVs. But there still is a way to get rid of it. Using your TV's remote, change the display mode to 'Zoom', or S.Stretch', or 'Theatre Wide', and select the setting that allows you to fill your entire screen with video. This may slightly degrade quality but it is the only way.
Reply:did you buy the widescreen version of the movie? or is it regular version. look on the dvd box. it's on the top of the front of the box. if it's the widescreen version then you don't have the option of changing thos settings. my husband makes the mistake of buying regular dvd's because all our tv's are widescreen. lol...
see site below, other customers are having same problem.

Monitor and TV problem?
OK, what I want to do is have my monitor extended onto my TV. But my TV doesn't have an SVIDEO port. But the video card (Gforce 7600gt) came with a svideo to RCA adapter. So I plugged that in to a RCA leading to the TV. Well the computer doesn't see the TV. So I put on Force TV detection. Still nothing. So I activated the TV for M/NTSC at 640X480 acting as my second moniter. Still....Nothing. Whats weird is the computer is acting like there are two moniters because I can drag the cursor and windows to where the second moniter should be. Any ideas on whats going on? I think it is sending out a signal but somthings not working right. Thanks
Monitor and TV problem?
make sure both the TV and computer are set to NTSC or PAL
also you may have to use both interlaced or deinterlaced (progressive scan)

PC to TV - no desktop?
I am trying to get my PC to display on my Philips 32" Ambilight TV. Connected it up with the supplied TV to VGA cable connector and get the XP boot up picture with the blue bar running.
When it is time for the desktop to appear, the screen goes blue with the message "picture format not available".
I have tried the lowest resolution without result and now have it set to 800 x 600 @ 60HZ which the TV manual says is supported. Still nothing but blue screen.
After carrying the PC up and down stairs for about 20 times, changing settings using the PC monitor, I feel like throwing a brick through the piece of cr$p of a TV.
Salesman told me it was plug and play just about.
My video card is a Nvidia GeforceMX420, the tv out is enabled and the forced TV detection feature is checked as on at startup.
Anyone had the same problems or know what is going wrong?

I have 2 TV's. One in the kitchen and one in the living room. When I turn the TV on in the kitchen...?
and I'm watching some arbitrary channel, and when I turn on the TV in the living room and I'm watching the same channel in the kitchen, the tv in the kitchen is "faster" than the tv in the living room. By faster I mean, lets say I'm watching football on the tv in the kitchen, and a team is in position to score the field goal. I would know what happens first on the tv in the kitchen then the tv in the living room, why is that?
