Better Concerts and Music

Everything looked good, but I thought he would use the Disney WOW calibration Bluray Disk (which I purchased via Amazon to calibrate my 50″) to check out if there were any dead/malfunctioning pixels, and there were! Was pretty disappointed, but it was absolutely there. I tried using the ‘Pixel Flipper’ to see if I could ‘nudge’ it back in life… no luck. I would also say it wasn’t ‘dead’… but it was surely malfunctioning. The pixel of the Panasonic TC-P42S30 would be excellent for blue colors, but greens/reds/whites . . ., it would show something different.

Legitimately, many people would not notice this and the most would not bother returning it for a replacement. I’m just anal I can imagine… once I know its there, I realize itll bug me.

But hats away to Amazon. The price had increased $30 from what I originally given, but Amazon covered the difference. I had to order a second one and wear it my credit card (because it appeared to be sold by Paul’s TV, not Amazon). The shippers (Pilot) will grab the defective TV when they offer the replacement, and I’ll get the refund in a few days.

These sorts of things are to become expected I think when making great purchases online.

Its a great cost, the picture is also great together with I’m happy (once I get who pixel working! )

EDIT: Forgot to mention my experience with the DLNA/wireless parts of the TC-P42S30. First off, don’t waste money buying the Panasonic brand wireless adapter. There can be 3rd party wireless adapters that are reported for work (granted, I haven’t bought one myself). Merchant want to take the chance, just get hold of wireless bridge: this takes your wifi signal and converts perfectly into a hard-wire connection that plugs into any tv via ethernet cable. MUCH more affordable option.

DLNA Features: For those of you that need to know, DLNA allows you to stream videos/audio etc from your very own Media Server (in my case Windows 7) on your TV. Bottom line, don’t buy any TV now for the DLNA features – they just are not that good. I’ve tried both Samsung as well as Panasonic. Both do connect to our computer and stream videos, but the coffee quality is horrific. Its very downscaled (I’m guessing as the TVs just don’t have the processing capacity to handle all that data). Just do yourself a favor and your investment wireless/DLNA capabilities of the TV and buy yourself and XBOX or PS3. I have both and they are generally MUCH better for these features!

Are you looking for vocal lessons NYC style? You can either choose to hire a vocal coach or just join an online course. Would you rather have a voice lesson in NYC or choose online vocal singing lessons? What are the advantages of online singing lessons compared to getting an online voice coach in NYC? The truth is, online vocal singing lessons are becoming better and better as the technology is becoming mature.

Here are ways to assess online vocal lessons.

1. What you should look for is reputation. There are a lot of free voice lessons in popular video sites. There are obviously a lot of online singing lessons in Vimeo and Youtube. Can you trust them, is the question? The truth is, some of these people don’t even know what they are doing.

2. Your online singing lesson of choice should include downloadable media. You need audio-visual samples in order for you to improve your vocalizing and pitching. These videos and MP3s should be free from copy protection so that students can put the videos and MP3s in portable media players like the Apple iPod.

3. Another must-have for a great online singing lesson is the PDF file included. The PDF should include signing techniques and music theory. The PDF should have complementary audio and video included as standard.

4. Let’s not forget that every good product needs great customer service and technical support service. A good online training course should have forums and a professional website where you can ask for help.

You an repeat your online vocal training course again and again, that’s what’s great about it. You can learn at your own pace and be stress free. In addition, paying for an online course is cheaper than paying hourly for a voice coach.

It is up to you to really do the research on these things. You need to consider the risk and reward factor of choosing an online alternative. It is ultimately better to learn from a live voice coach, but you can always opt for online course if you do not have the time or the money.

Always remember that you have to protect your voice, so do not do anything that you think will strain your vocal cords or the muscles near your mouth and throat. Something is wrong with your technique if you are hurting.

With that said, now you know how to assess a good online singing lesson. Use this as a checklist when you are looking for an online voice tutorial. Of course, you always get what you pay for. There are a lot of free singing lessons out there, but then, you want premium service, you have to pay premium price.
