I live in Denver, CO but have read that we are under the latest recommended limit of 6500 ft. I didn't see anything on your site regarding plasma tv's and elevation restrictions and wanted to verify that Plasma TV's are fine for our elevation. Your thoughts are appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ <strong>See my reply to Russ regarding high altitude plasma.

From information on your site, specifically pros/cons of Plasma/LCD’s tvs, I’m very interested in purchasing a Plasma TV but the only reservation is the elevation restrictions. I live in Denver, CO but have read that we are under the latest recommended limit of 6500 ft. I didn’t see anything on your site regarding plasma tv’s and elevation restrictions and wanted to verify that Plasma TV’s are fine for our elevation.

Your thoughts are appreciated.

As soon as you hit play the TV goes to blue screen with a "no signal" message. The odd thing is a small percentage of my DVDs will play but most will not - and it doesn't matter if it's "original" or if it's a DVD backup. This is happening with two different DVD players (JVC and Pioneer) and I even changed out the component cables with the same results. What is confusing is - if I run component from the HD cable box, it recognizes it with no signal drop. Both DVD players are around 3 years old (not progressive) The first Olevia Tech guy I got (Jerry) was very helpful and shared practical suggestions but the second Tech was condescending, blaming everything from user error, cables, DVD players etc. They are willing to set up an RMA and swap it for another, but I thought I would check with the Guru first to see if this a common problem. Am I correct? I shouldn't have to buy a new DVD player to make this work? Note: I took my Pioneer player to work and hooked it to a 20" Magnavox LCD via component with no issues. Thanks I recently purchased a 32″ Olevia LCD (Model#332H)

I am not too impressed. The picture looked much better in the store than home.Plasma and dlp was not an option due to room and viewing angles.Watching hd football on some channels produces a very bad blur during motion, also direct tv guy could not get picture when tv is connected to hdmi.Is there an adjustment we need to make. Please help -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contrary to what you have been told, Plasma offers far better viewing angles than LCD flat panels and rear projectors. It also has a much faster response time. There might be a toogle for HDMI output on your directv receiver as well as the need for the samsung to recognize the connection. Most likely the problem is the second so that is where I will begin. First connect the source (directv) to the HDMI input on the Samsung . Power off the samsung lcd for 15 seconds, (keeping the directv box on), then power back on Samsung LCD. next try switching the Samsung LCD  to the HDMI input , it should now be active. This is a quirk with the Samsungs that I wish they would address.  The HD Guru    I just purchased a Samsung 4695/1080 lcd.
