Hi Guys,
I am first time Thead! I try it


I look HDTV with Beautiful Font Closed Caption

wow best is Sharp

* Font - Beautiful than all old CC
* Size - small to Large
* Color - Forground and background
* background can X-ray to Solid

I test but some don't have setup caption

* Sony - no
* Samsung - no
* Phillip - no
* Viewsonic

* Sharp - Yes
* Viewsonic HD12 - Yes only box but not LCD

any idea about JVC, NEC/Mitsubishi, RCA, Panasonic, Toshiba, etc... they have Setup CC or not?

Cool looks nice, Anyone who have a motorola HDTV tuner box, I would like to know if they have set up with font, size, colors and backgrounds?

I'm plan to buy Motorola HDTV tuner box.

thanks :)
 
I've seen several televisions like that. They have a few fonts settings. I still prefer the original block-type font cuz it's easier to read and I know I'm not missing anything. For instance, standard fonts have wide letters like "W" or "M" and narrow letters like "I" or "l" (small "L"). Because of that, they make the full word shorter than normal. With block letters, the letters are spaced equally and doesn't matter what letter is used... it's still the same width.

IMO... block letters are easier to read when speed-reading.

Yes, Sharp's font have choose (i don't remember which 8 or 10 fonts), I think good "Times New Roman" or "Courier New" font good "I" as i and "l" is L, they have smooth font!
you try go Store at Fry's, Circuit City, Good Guys or any store for HDTV, you test it ,

Sharp have Arial, Courier New, Times New Roman, Arial Rounded MT Bold, Balloon, Comic Sans, I don't remember 2 or more fonts. same Microsoft's Fonts

I agree - who cares about fancy coloring or alpha transparancy.. they just get in the way. Captions are meant so you can understand whats being said and done in shows, movies, etc.. not so you can have something pretty to look at :thumb:

it depends on which YPbPr or svideo cables are on and it depends on what channels are they on because if hd channel is on tv with CC then u wont see the CC on hd channels. if you have tuner box or cable box with built in CC, then u can see CC on hd channels. if you have s-video cable on, you can see any regular channel that comes with CC, not hd channel. that is big different.

we have previous postings about HDTVs in this AD because some of us are hdtv owners. Google them in this AD yourself. :)

one more thing.. yes sony, samsung, and phillips hdtv have built in CC. i bought hdtv sony somehow it didnt fit my truck and home so i replaced it for westinghouse hdtv lcd... like i say it depends on what channel are and what type of cable are attached on.

Hi DeafClimber,

it's not like this pic, the Motorola HTD101 just a HDTV Tuner, it's smaller box with remote, So I have Sciencfic Altanta Explorer 8300 DVR digital box. I tried to check on service menus, then the box says E05 which cannot access to service menus, could be run from cable company's computer to control service settings on every DVR boxes.

probably those stores dont have HD channels so that is why u cant turn CC on. i dont need to waste replying these postings now because i am HDTV owner and i know the diff.

so good luck, dude.

Fuck that shit. Why need add more boxes?
like that http://www.digitalnetworksna.com/support/replaytv/images/diagrams/fig10.gif
Too many boxes and not good idea for your power bill and heat temp.

ONE box is good enough! *Dvd-player, sound systems, and cable tvor satellite tv in ONE* and it looks good for LCD on wall.

LCD is best than plasma for long life but pricy.
