LG 32LD550 UK version and US version difference?

January 1, 2011 - 10:43 pm 2 Comments

Hi guys I just purchased this TV from a UK retailer and did some research afterwards to see what half of the features are for.

On amazon I was given this link: http://lge.product-tours.com/amazon/tour?ASIN=B0039RRCFM

and after searching on the LG site I found this link..http://www.lg.com/uk/tv-audio-video/televisions/LG-lcd-tv-32LD550.jsp

I am now wondering why the US version has 120hz TruMotion and the UK version only has 100hz…??

And will there be any noticeable difference while viewing?

I do know that years ago US TVs were 60hz and UK were always 50hz so the figures seem to have doubled now but why are UK versions lower?

Cheers,

Mike

Traditionally, the vertical scan or frame rate of a TV has been the same as the AC mains frequency, so any picture distortion as a result of weaknesses in the power supply is in a fixed position rather than ‘running’ up or down the screen.

These scan rates are now part of the broadcast standards.

The double or multiple rate displays use interpolation between two broadcast frames to try and give smoother motion, but the number of frames the TV is receiving is still the same so the final display rate can only be a multiple of that.

For non-HD TVs, while the frame rate is slightly lower we in the UK have the advantage that each frame has more scan lines & detail, so a slightly higher overall resolution than with 60Hz countries.

Where do I get an official drum kit for Guitar Hero Metallica on Wii?

July 4, 2010 - 5:16 am 1 Comment

The only thing on Amazon is a 2nd bass pedle and a World Tour Drumkit.

1. Where do I buy one from (that doesnt include the game)
2. Will the World tour one work with GH:M?

1. Guitar Hero: Metallica didn’t come bundled with any specialized instruments (unlike The Beatles Rockband). Instead, it was only bundled with a splitter (for the kick pedal) and an additional kick pedal to allow you to play a double kick.

2. yes, the world tour drums work with it. About a year ago consoles made it mandatory that game developers come out with instruments that were compatible with any music game on that console - therefore any Guitar Hero or Rockband instrument will always be able to work on any current or future Guitar Hero or Rockband game.

how to find an amazon tour?

May 2, 2010 - 7:13 am 2 Comments

I am traveling to brazil this june and am hoping to find an amazon jungle tour. what i have found so far online is geared to western travelers and i think is over priced (1000+ usd) Im wondering if anyone has done this themselves and can offer some advice?

The best option is you to go to Manaus (capital of Amazon) and there to hire a company of local tourism.. It is cheaper and you will be able to at the own hotel to have reference on the best companies, a very good option is to go for Manaus and later to stay at a jungle hotel.

Where can I buy a hard rock cafe shirt?

April 26, 2010 - 12:19 pm 4 Comments

My boyfriend and I went on a trip to Spain last year with our college marching band and we got hard rock cafe shirts in Madrid. Sadly, he lost his on a tour bus. I want to surprise him for his birthday by getting him that shirt he lost.

I’ve searched eBay and Amazon and a few other online site to try and find this shirt. He didn’t get the typical white shirt which makes the search very difficult. Help?

if not call one up and ask how you can get one like your looking for

Amazon rain forest, 2 weeks. £1810. Worth it?

April 2, 2010 - 5:33 am 1 Comment

I’m considering going into the rain-forest for 2 weeks, obviously i understand this isn’t going to be cheap but do you think this is good money if it covers, flights, accommodation, food (accommodation i suppose), tour guide professionals, supplied equipment, safe drinking water which you may see as part of accommodation and food, and mosquito nets and other health precautions such as bug repellents, first aid kits ETC. Do you think this is good? i will be doing things such as white water rafting, animal studies in order to generally conserve and volunteer in the amazon. Or could i get it cheaper? Thanks :)
If you can afford it without breaking into your piggy bank, do it.

Make sure that your tour company is reliable by doing a background check on them. Contact the Brasilian (that’s the way they spell it in Portuguese) embassy in London and asking to talk to the cultural or tourist office attache.

If that’s on your "bucket list" (see link) you’ll hate yourself if you don’t go now and you get too old to do it later.

Why are phones so cheap on amazon.com?

February 5, 2010 - 2:26 pm 3 Comments

i really want the blackberry tour and i found one on amazon.com.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002GJTS3I/ref=asc_df_B002GJTS3I1015672?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&tag=googlecom09c9-20&linkCode=asn&creative=380341&creativeASIN=B002GJTS3I

however, if i get the phone at a verizon wireless store, it costs around $200 but why does this one only cost $50?
is it because it is used? and could i still use it even though my phone hasnt expired yet?

Actually, if you bought it from the Verizon website, it would be $100 (with a 2 year contract).

Cell phones are almost always much less expensive at authorized retailers than at the carrier’s store and they’re always less expensive online. The authorized retailers are willing to accept little or nothing on the sale of the handset to entice people to buy from them. They make their money on a percentage of the plan.
