Is this a good tv and blu-ray question?

I want to get an LCD tv, I’ve found one at future shop. Does anyone have it or a similar one, and is it a good tv?

its the first one but it will have 3 gb ram and the included graphics card and the core 2 duo processor.

Is this Sony home theatre in a box good (It’s an HTIB but with lots of inputs)?

I am thinking of buying the “Sony Home Theatre System (HTSF2000)”

It is the full type system with speakers, sub and receiver.

It’s a really slim looking system with slim tall speakers and a slim tiny receiver BUT unlike most slim home theatre in a box (HTIB) sets, this actually has several audio/video and HDMI slots!

I plan to use it with a 42 inch LCD TV and will plug in a DVD player, Cable Box and PS3.

It is available at Future Shop in Canada (Future Shop is like Best Buy in Canada) for $699.

Here is the future shop link: http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0665000FS10096061&catid=

Here is the Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000WVEMJM?smid=A228GNTXW0TH0L&tag=cnet-ce-20&linkCode=asn#productDetails

Thanks for any advice.
p.s. I WAS ALSO WONDERING IF I do not use the rear speakers and just the front ones, will that make the sound messed up on a system like this or would it work fine? I know that with independent receivers where you buy your own speakers, you can just plug in front speakers and it will work fine, but with a combo package like this, will it work to just use the front speakers?

Can this camera actually output HD on Vimeo?

I found a really nice camera on Future Shop in Canada:

http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0665000FS10099531&catid=&test%5Fcookie=1

Anyways, if I make a video with this camera, edit it, and upload it to vimeo (http://www.vimeo.com), can people view it in True HD?

I will be so happy if it can! Thanks for all the answers in advance.
Sorry, the Vimeo link in my question doesn’t work. Here is the working one: http://www.vimeo.com

Anything on the U.S. tech market that plays media from portable HDD on TV with direct PnP abilities like this?

i just found this item on ebay:

I then did a minute of research and found another model of the same (i think) brand:

http://shop.rimtung.com/catalog.php?idp=223

It looks really interesting. The way it works is that you install an internal HDD in the box. Then you plug’n'play media files you uploaded onto the HDD directly on a TV.

The thing is, the brand looks really cheap and foreign. I was wondering if anyone knew a US product that was similar to this?

Your opinions about this TV?

Hi, I am shopping for a new TV. I’m looking for a relatively inexpensive 37-42 inch TV that still delivers good quality at 1080p. Here’s a couple I have found.

What are your opinions?

Simple electronics geek question: What HD cord do I need to get for this DVD player and this HDTV?

So, I’ll admit, I’m pretty ignorant when it comes to all of this stuff. I just bought a 37″ Magnavox LCD TV:

http://www.samsclub.com/shopping/navigate.do?dest=5&item=364183

and also bought a decent sony dvd player with progressive scan:

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5663206

but, the only audio/video cords that the DVD player came with was the typical red/yellow/white cord. What HD cord do I need to properly set this system up? Links would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!!

anyone own this mp3 player?

I am thinking about buying it, but I would love to get some input on it! Even if you don’t own it, you can probably answer this: is 2GB enough to hold a decent amount of music?

Is This A Good Mobile Phone Contract?

I am a novice at choosing Mobile Phone Contracts..
I wanted the Nokia N900 with free (or near enough) internet (the whole point of the phone is social networking :S) and not having to pay a huge monthly fee…

I found this, but is it ok? I don’t really have much of a clue LOL

Does anyone know of a contract with free internet with this phone?
