Blu Ray Technology

Posts Tagged ‘Need’

i have a 32 inch samsung LN32A330 and i want to set it up with my ps3 to get the best from blu ray and i was wondering if my tv can support dolby digital 5.1 and dts 5.1 ch. and any kind of linear pcm 7.1 channel

using only a hdmi wire. My tv speakers recently went out, and although I still like the picture (wish the tv was bigger) Best buy said I didnt have outputs on my tv to run thru hdmi. IS there a way arround this? If not what is best tv for 1000 dollars for my x box and maybe blu ray. I dont watch cable or satellite.
What kind would you get?

I just built a computer and when I turn it on I get a long irriating beeping noise. Does anybody know what can be causing it?

Here is my setup:

MSI P55 GD65 Motherboard
i7 860 2.8 chip
BFG GeForce 8800 GT OverClocked Video Card
8 gigs or ddr 3 ram
sony blur ray rom
lite on blu ray burner
2 fans
380 watt power supply

I know I need to upgrade my power supply to 800 – 1000w, but could that be causing the long beep. I can’t find any troubleshooting tips for the board. Please help.
I tried taking out the ram 1 by 1 and still got the noise. It’s not necessarily a beep, but a long very irritating high pitch noise that doesn’t stop until I quickly turn the computer off.

I noticed while watching Planet Earth that the picture wasn’t as good as some of the HD channels, do I need an HD DVD player? I know there is Blu-Ray, but I don’t want that – just the best picture possible for non-Blu-Ray movies (such as Planet Earth)

Im getting the bluray disc on Friday and am going to have a dvd night with a few friends to watch it. I wanted something cool to go with the night. Im going to deck the house out with candles but I am after other fun ideas….
Oh, Im 27 too so only more adult things really. No games or anything. Im after food/drink and decorating ideas.

I only use my PC for gaming, will I need a Blu-Ray optical drive?
This is my Optical Drive right now:
16X DVD+/- RW Optical Drive (DVD & CD read and write) (Win 7 Only)
