Best Powercord for a TV?


Hello everyone,

So my question is whats a good powercord for a tv? I recently upgraded my LCD TV and plasma tv with Richard gray powercords and they actually made the picture worse compared to the stock cord.

I had a ps audio powercord and a old transparent cable powercord that I tried as well and although they where better than the Richard gray, the picture quality was not that good.

For some reason the powercords made the black color look weak and choppy.

Are newer tvs made differently than older ones? I remember upgrading my plasma tv years ago with a transparent powercord and it made one hell of a difference.
Any suggestions?

when my wife...

I can't tell you how many times that line has been used to justify a purchase or tweak.
Watch out, now someone is going to come out with aftermarket cords just for TV's.
Try a cord you have for another piece of equipment, if you can see a difference buy one for your TV.
But I got damn good hearing :-)
Williewonka, be careful, you do realize women have better hearing than men. Let's just hope this doesn't happen to you.

Yes I have to agree with women having better hearing but not for audio in my experience, only for when we mumble about them while walking away....

I think the sheilded computer powercord is worth giving a try, I will check that out for sure.

I was just surprised that these expensive powercords don't work for tvs, which is why I mentioned are they audio only.

Thanks for all the answers guys, lets see what happens...
Here's a novel idea: offer the OP what he asked for (the names of cords
you have actually used) and then let him hook them up to his TV and use
his own eyes. They work or they don't.

Or we can go with the usual circle jerk about everyone's pet theory. ;-)

A $100 Shunyata Venom PC visibly improved my Sony Bravia HDTV's
color saturation and reduced noise in the picture. My parents saw the same
results with their Sony's. No idea whether it will or won't do that with your
brand and model. And that's all I have to say about that.
