Can you install a wall mounted LCD TV close to a wood stove that can get very hot?

Asked by Naveen Misra in Electronics & Gadgets at 9:47 AM on February 03, 2009

Santosh Kuma's Answer

You can, but I wouldn't suggest that you do. Heat is one of the biggest killers of today's TV sets. That's why so many of them have all those built in fans.

What types of televisions will work after 2009 without a converter box?

Asked by Naveen Misra in Electronics & Gadgets at 9:47 AM on February 03, 2009

Santosh Kuma's Answer

From the way I see it, if you currently have cable or satellite television, you have no worries. You are already viewing a digital image - please do not confuse "digital" with "high definition" television - High def is another form of existing digitized signal which requires additional fees for the monthly service.

The free "over the air" (analog) transmissions of signals (from a transmitter tower) to existing rabbit ears or rooftop aerial will cease on February 17, 2009, and you will only see white snow on the screen. At that time you will need to convert to digital (cable or satellite) in order to watch television broadcasts. Some present sets are already 'cable ready', so it doesn't mean that everyone will have to but a new set.

The only unfortunate things is, that by 2009, we might be watching a steady stream of commercials interrupted by television shows :-) !!

There will be converter boxes available for purchase for those sets that can only receive analog signals. There is a plethora of information on the website mentioned below:

How do you compute wattage?

Asked by Naveen Misra in Electronics & Gadgets at 9:43 AM on February 03, 2009

Santosh Kuma's Answer

Wattage or power rating of a product can be calculated by multiplying voltage rating and current rating. (Power = Voltage x Current).

e.g. if device is working at 12V and 2A is the current rating. It is 24Watt.

Since Voltage = Current x Resistance , for a resistive load power can also be calculated by

Power = Current x Current x Resistance = I^2 x R = I square R

What can you do if you bought a television on credit and the company wants to repossess it but still want you to be responsible for the debt?

Asked by Naveen Misra in Electronics & Gadgets at 9:38 AM on February 03, 2009

Santosh Kuma's Answer

Yes, that's how the contract usually reads. The used television won't be worth what you owe, so you'll need to make up the difference. By the time they pick it up, clean it up and sell it, anything they make won't cover what they get. Read the fine print of the contract, it's all there.

Get another Loan
If there is any way to get the money, you will be much better off if you can borrow the money from a payday loan operation or a relative and pay off the finance company. Otherwise you'll have the debt (if it's large enough your wages could be garnished), a black mark on your credit report, and NO TV.

What are the specs for Wharfedale L1911W-A eg progressive scan 720p 1080i?

Asked by Naveen Misra in Electronics & Gadgets at 9:43 AM on February 03, 2009

Santosh Kuma's Answer

It runs my PS3 at either 480i/p, 575i/p (I think), 720p and 1080i. If I try and run 1080p there is a picture but the colours are distorted. It's hard to find TV's smaller than 40" that will handle 1080p and if you can I don't think they will be as small as 19".
