Kenneth writes in, "I have a Tivo. It can send the signal to my TV in the native resolution (720p or 1080i) or all channels in 1080i. Do you recommend I watch channel in their native resolution or upscale from 720p to 1080i?" Watch the video to find out!

Thanks for watching!

This is truth.
I WOULD appreciate seeing HD Nation in 1080p though.

These are two of the best presenters on YouTube in my opinion.

Vizio is real good when I went to the store I saw vizio, sharp, samsung, lg, & a couple other tv's some of the samsung tv's looked kind of blury, so I picked up the vizio 3d wifi tv, it looks pretty damn good, I play a lot of Battlefield & BlackOps2 online on ps3 it looks really good with hdmi !

Roberts hair has some half/half action going on there

What are your thoughts on the Orei BDP-M2 Blu-Ray Player Region Free DVD Blu-Ray player? A lot of the movies that my father and I buy are DVDs and Blu-Rays on Amazon but they rarely come in the Mexican region (DVD region 4, Blu-Ray region A). Thanks love the show.

[HiImGM]

Wasn't there talk of YouTube rolling out a new video format or something that was supposed to be easier on those with slower internet?

I own the Vizio M551d-A2R for a few months now, You can fine tune the colors in the "More" settings even further it has rgb gain and it also has rgb offsets. I calibrated mine with a  Datacolor Spyder4Elite colorimiter from factory and now it just looks amazing. 

Also you mentioned it comes with 8 glasses mine came with only 4 glasses not 8. I watch my 3d movies around 8 ft away so I never noticed anything off it does a great job at it. 

Watching movies in letterbox it's rare that you see the white artifact from movies, usually I would only see it from streaming movies but it doesn't happen very often. 

I did however upgrade the firmware to it so that might of fixed that issue and also a slight latency on the menu which seems to be gone now. 

As for the remote it's pretty responsive and gaming looks great I have my own htpc gaming rig running on it and it's freaking amazing I feel no lag in fast moving fps. 

Overall if you take the time to calibrate it properly it's a hell of a TV so much so I just got one for my Dad. Also going to buy a larger one soon and move this one to my Office ahem (man cave).

I would recommend this set to anyone looking for a great led with a slim design without breaking the bank. If I had to chance to go back and choose again I'll go with this TV again it was great investment. 

You guys are awesome been watching you guys for many years (since the Cable TV show). Love your reviews they are straight forward one of the best anywhere. 

P.S. Walmart has it for just under 1000 bucks FYI :)

[BKOBatista]

Any tips for good 1080p monitors with low latency? And a decent price would help too.

Hey guys... I wanted to know if there is a significant difference between Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD Master Audio on blu-ray? I feel that the DTS track has more impact according to my ears especially when it comes to machine gun fire. My Bowers and Wilkins speakers have been tuned thanks to the Audyssey tech on my Denon AVR. Do you guys disagree? and lastly will a second subwoofer in the back, even out the bass in a room? THANKS AND YOU GUYS CONTINUE TO ROCK EVERY WEDNESDAY .!.!.

[papishow]

so..would you guys recommend this for gaming? or if not which would you recommend? Could you guys do a vid on best TVs for gaming 50+inches... Thanks!

[muchogoocho]

why the x through the apple if you're using their os?

[ImadKhan]

how much should one spend on getting their television professionally calibrated?

[srobins]

I can't get amazon prime on Apple tv? They keep me from seeing it! Its not cool!

[erocicTheGreat]

Hey Robert, I am surprised you recommended 1080i at 16:30, do you then disagree with this guy? /watch?v=Avvh0iH2xSg I always thought that quality scale was the go to scale.

[lookmanlookman]

What if apple and Sony got together for an apple playstation TV???? Awesome----

[AerialAdvantageImages]

Patrick said that all Roku's received the interface update but my old Roku hasn't gotten it. How do I go about getting the new interface, I've tried going into the Update tab but it said none were available?

[UKgamer]

if people buy me that blu ray list i will watch them all back to back and stream it

[kortyeldavis]

i don't think any of those movies are without torrentability

[infusion]

I still think Samsung's battery-powered 3D glasses (or even goggles!)

[PierreEklund]

We will laugh at the thought of buying plastic discs to display in our bookshelf :-)
