We have left regular cathode tube TVs there for years, but we need a new tv and I wanted to get LCD or Plasma.

I own a 42 inch Philips plasma television and I’ve noticed that it runs extremely hot. Is this tv built to withstand the heat and is it safe to continue to use the television when its really hot?

I recently bought a computer HP Media Center. I want to be able to hook this up to my plasma tv to use it as a Jukebox for all my music. The computer has a DVI monitor connector, and it also has a svideo out. I have tried to use the svideo option in the past on a plasma tv and it just comes out horrible? The audio is not a problem, just the video? I want it to look decent on the tv. My plasma has svideo & hdmi? Can I convert the hdmi to dvi ? What do you suggust?

I was told by a sales person that I could not take a plasma TV home safely by either lying it on the back of the package or on the front of the package. He said that we “could,” but it would shift the gases turning the screen green and at the same time void the warranty. I think it was because the man was lazy and it was about to be the end of his shift. Is there validity to his statement?

As putting yout TV on standby still consumes some energy, I bought an extra socket, so I can turn the TV’s power completely off.( The TV itself can only be put on standby, but not completely off. )
Now is it bad for my Plasma TV (42 inches) if I turn the power compeltely off at night, instead of putting it on standby?
