Will Netflix buffer all the way if I leave it paused?

Sarah

I'm streaming Netflix on my TV (not a computer) with a blu-ray player that has built in Wifi. Usually it's fine, but tonight it keeps being pixely and jumpy and then buffering every couple of minutes.

My internet connection is strong and fine on my laptop, so I don't know why it's crappy on my blu-ray player that's like five feet away. Anyway if I keep the show paused will it load all the way? There's no bar to show it's loading (as there never is on the TV) so I can't tell.

Answer
it wont load all the way but it will load enough for you to get ahead ahead of the buffering.

which tv is better for gaming?

Danny Harr

Im looking to get a new pc for my bedroom for gaming and watching freeview. I will be gaming through an xbox, possibly have a blu ray player and I will also be watching freeview. The choices are:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-LE32C530-32-inch-Widescreen-Freeview/dp/B003EEM1M4/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

http://www.amazon.co.uk/LG-32LE4500-32-inch-Widescreen-Freeview/dp/B0043M66A4/ref=wl_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&coliid=I2TUPJ91YNV5Z9&colid=2BLC7TSOAZ1L5

By the way, sound isnt going to be much of a factor as I play using a gaming headset and i will be upgrading to a surround sound system for this TV (although that may be a problem as they may not support surround sound).

Thanks for all of your help :)

Answer
The bast TV for gaming is a Plasma. A very fast response time, requires no 'refresh rates' for fast motion viewing....Those who buy an LCD or LED for gaming really need at least 120 hz. refresh rate to reduce (not fix) the problem.. However, these high refresh rates can mess up movie viewing, and may have to be turned off when watching movies. It gets complicated to explain, but basically, movies shot in 24 FPS, are broadcast in 30 FPS by the TV stations, and the refresh rate can mess up the picture, possibly jumpy pictures, pixel loss, etc. By the way, the old story about plasma 'burn-in' is really no longer an issue. They have the same lifespan as any other TV now, and newer technology like slow orbiting will keep the trouble away..

will a 24p output blu-ray work on a 60hz dlp?

blu ray player jumpy image

Im thinking of buying a blu-ray for my parents for christmas. They have a Mitsubishi WD-57731 DLP TV and the blu-ray player I'm looking at has 24p output. Does the TV do the 3:2 pulldown? If it does will it still look ok, or will it be jumpy? Will it even be able to play it?

Thanks for any help

Answer
If the TV can't do the pull-down (doubtful), it can ask the player to output at 60 Hz. So, nothing to worry.

Good graphics card for gaming?

Lauren

I recently got a home build pc, second hand. My game (Skyrim) was very jumpy on a medium setting. Its running better on low settings, but I heard some cards help it to process faster. Someone told me to consider getting a 2gb graphics card. Someone mentioned a PSU also? I'm not very pc saavy so I'm lost here. Advice is so appreciated! Thank you ahead of time. I really know nothing about this computer or what any of the following means so feel free to explain my computer's perks or disadvantages to me too, lol, a lady is LOST here ,- Intel Core i3-2120 Dual Core 3.30GHz Processor
- 8GB DDR3 RAM
- 2.0TB SATA3 Hard Drive
- Blu Ray Player/DVD-+RW/CD-RW
- Haupauge TV Tuner with remote
- Black Shuttle xPC case and motherboard combo It has USB 3.0, HDMI, optical audio, eSATA

Answer
your pc itself is a good household pc but unforunately you may struggle to put in a decent graphics card, your case is too small to fit any (what you class as gaming cards) in
you will need a low profile card, pretty sure the shuttle cases have different psu`s aswell, a psu is the power supply unit,
to run a low end gaming card like a GT640 you will need a 400-500w psu, its likely the one you have will be a 230w,
it will say on the side when you open it,
really you need to look at a card like a 7750 low profile version, providing your power supply can handle it. its the best low profile card you can buy and yes it will improve all your games dramatically going from no graphics card to a HD7750 low profile
