Consumer Reports tested a UN46C8000 and rated it very high for picture detail, colors, and contrast, both with 3D and 2D program material. I'm not aware of any 2D films converted to 3D. The 3D effect is made possible by filming a scene with what amounts to two cameras, one for each eye. If...

No, that's an analog TV. See the specs in the ref below. There's no reason to require an HD set to view a DVD. The picture won't be any different in quality or function than any other DVD you've played. There's nothing on the disc that demands 720p or 1080p resolution to be seen. You just...

It's 80,000:1 for the 530 series. See the first ref below. However, don't put a whole lot of importance in "contrast ratio" when reviewing TV specs. Manufacturers always advertise the "dynamic" contrast ratio of their sets, which is very difficult to measure and prove, and not terribly...

Your question is close to impossible to answer without knowing the specific model number and having access to the user's guide, which you apparently don't have. That being the case, I would set every parameter to 50%, then start making incremental adjustments, beginning with brightness, until I...

Without some type of HD connection on the laptop (HDMI or enhanced DVI), you're limited to the analog connection via the VGA jack. A VGA to S-Video cable is an easy solution. See the example below.

Theoretically, the repair won't cost you anything if it's covered by the set's warranty. However, warranties generally require you to deliver the set to a repair facility. A home visit would be extra. Unfortunately, Samsung doesn't have a great reputation for prompt, effective action on a...

Unfortunately, the only way to do what you want to do is with an outboard amplifier, like a home theater amp or at least a small stereo amp. The audio system in the TV is not designed to drive external speakers, so there are no connections for that purpose on the back of the set. You do have...

Get out your owner's manual and find the instructions for resetting the TV to its factory default settings. It should be in the menu somewhere. That should restore the picture to the type of brightness, etc. that yo expect. If you want, you can then make adjustments on picture quality in the...

You have 2 TVs, each with a cable box, one HD and one SD (standard def). You have one Comcast account and one subscription to a digital channel package plus the HD channels. What should be happening is that 2 boxes receive exactly the same channels, except the TV with the HD box should also be...

All of that should be feasible. When you buy the TV, ensure that it actually has a headphone jack--most larger sets do not. And there's no easy way to adapt a headphone connection to a set with no headphone jack. Once you have the right TV, any wireless headphone system should work fine...

If by "adapter" you mean the coaxial antenna jack on the back of your set, you can fix this with a VCR. Here are two methods, depending on how you are receiving cable channels (with or without a box). 1. WITHOUT A BOX: Connect the cable wall jack to the VCR antenna input. Connect the VCR...

This only addresses your third item. Whether the difference between 720p and 1080p can be seen is dependent upon the screen size. You will get varying opinions from the experts here, but in general, the dividing line is somewhere between 32 and 40 inches. A 720p display that's larger than the...
