Picture In Picture Features I'd like to know more about the PIP. Can you split the screen and adjust the size of each screen, play sound on either one, etc.? Or is it just a little screen on the bottom corner like old PIP. Might be a stupid question, but my Sony is dieing and it has split screen that you can adjust and I love it. Thanks!

But one question that wasn't answered is -- can you have the sound from either of the pictures? On my (old) Sony TV, I can use PIP and have the sound coming from either the 'big' picture or the 'small' picture. Admittedly, with the way I have things set up now, I rarely use the TV's PIP, but I still use my external hard drive/DVD's PIP, usually between what it's playing and one of its inputs. (*It* can't do sound from either PIP.)I know a lot of people don't think PIP is useful, but personally, I use it *all* the time. Even if doing general "view the to do list" or "skim through the guide listings" on my Tivo while watching/listening to something else.

The PIP works great. You can only view an HDMI, Component, or RCA source with the TV source (RF connection). You might have to do some adjustments to make it work the way you want. I use an RF wireless transmitter from one of my other sat boxes hooked up to the tv over RF. It works for me. Since most tv's these days only have 1 tuner for each source built in its hard to do PIP the way it was done on analog tv's.You can have a little screen, a slightly bigger screen, then you have two options for picture out of picture (POP). It works great for me watching football. Unless you have a receiver hooked up it can be cumbersome to change audio sources for the PIP. The PIP works great.

PIP feature came into TVs way back in 80s and never got popular due to inconvenience it causes to eyes. I am not sure why people are so concerned about it now on LCD tvs? I would like to understand if there is something NEW that I've n't understood?

Pip works with my PlayStation. But I don't have a cable box so I'm not quite sure it works with that.

It displays all the ACTIVE inputs on screen so that you can choose and switch to the desired input based upon what is displaying in the PIP windows on screen rather than memorizing the number of that input or using the graphic labels. The PIP's are pretty small in size because it was never designed for viewers to watch and enjoy like traditional PIP features. This feature works on ANY TV because the DVDO is generating the PIP's and requires nothing from the TV. The PIP was strictly designed for switching to a desired input using the images in the PIP's to make the decision. You can leave all the PIP's on screen, but it would be a pain to watch and use for anything OTHER than choosing and input.

You didn't specify which TV you wanted PIP, but if you're talking about ZT60, then I wouldn't waste my time as this TV, as this unit was designed for pure enjoyment of the programing. Samsung has TV's that do PIP and they cost a lot less and they may fit the situations? Good luck.

Hi,Let's try this first if you haven't already :).On your Playstation, go to settings, scroll down to Display Settings, click Video Output Settings, select HDMI, and then select Automatic. It should ask for the size of your TV and also multiple 3D resolution choices. After that, glasses should sync. I hope this will help, if not, I'll look into another solution :).Happy Holidays!

You have to switch back and forth between cameras. It doesn't have split screen where you can watch both and listen. Although switching between cameras is done by pushing one button and then it does switch between cameras on its own. There must be a timer or something. I hope that makes sense.

I'm interested in this also. I have an older Generation Samsung LNS4095 and it doesn't allow PIP if either source is HDMI. I called up Samsung after a long time and found out PIP is not available if either of the sources is via HDMI. Its in the manual, as it was pointed out to me, also. I'm looking to buy a new TV and would be curious to know if the 650 can handle it. I have a cablebox and PS3 connected via HDMI.

You can change the pip. All corners and middle. You can also adjust the size of the picture

I have the double tuner Hauppauge and I have not found a PIP function in Windows Media Center. It does allow you to record two shows at once. The Hauppauge software might allow PIP but I use the MS Media Center software exclusively. It is the only useful software from Microsoft in the last 10 years.

No, I don't think so. We used to have pip in our old television....we hardly ever used it. This picture is too beautiful to complicate it with another picture.

I was able to get my pip to work by hooking up my antenna (coax) and my dvd player through the hdmi input.Then at this point (from my experience) you must be watching the hdmi source (DVD player). While watching the hdmi source the pip menu option will be activated and you will be able to turn it on.I wasn't able to get it to work in reverse (watching antenna source trying to get pip of dvd)

the idea of pip I though was so you could swap from one picture to another but I find this an impossible task to do. I get my pip but can't do anything with it witch makes it useless for all I care

The 650 offers limited PIP behavior as described by J. P. Dodge above. According to the manual, PIP is available for the antenna TV tuner, analog broadcasts only, when the primary video is from one of the other inputs: component, HDMI, PC. I have not tested this to make sure the manual is accurate, that PIP accepts only analog broadcasts, not digital. As the manual is so specific, I expect it is accurate. So, come February when the analog broadcasts disappear or become low-power only, this will be a truly useless feature.

Of course, look at the spec closer, pc input for PIP. A couple of ways to do it. Also most computers/ laptop have DVI and HDMI. And there are cable with one side is DVI and the other side is HDMI. Again there is the regular PC monitor input out for older computers/laptops.

You can only hear the sound of the room that is on the monitor . We only have 2 cameras and if we are doing the split screen option , one side of the screen is highlighted a little to let you know that is the room the sound is on . But you can see both rooms at the same time . We have 3 boys , ages 9 months to 4 and we love this . We have had a few other dual monitors and this is the best by far .

The included Hauppauge WinTV 7 software doesn't include PIP function as I recall (I don't have the card installed currently). However I do know you can run WinTv at the same time as Windows Media and choose different sources on the card (Tuner 1, Tuner 2, Component, etc.). I'm not sure you can do that with the actual TV tuners simultaneously, however, as I was monitoring an external camera connected to TV card input one one and watching baseball on the other at the same time.

Yes, my tv has the PiP feature were you watch it in any corner of your screen.
