How to greatly inprove the performance of your LCD or plasma

Adjust the contrast, brightness, and colour for the most realistic effect.
Usually this will mean setting all three a long way below the manufacturer's
default.

On this one there are 4 settings; first is what you make it, 2nd is bright
factory set fixed, 3rd is medium factory set fixed, 4th is dim factory set
fixed. We use the bright for sunny daylight viewing the medium for dark room
viewing and the dim for teletext etc. This seems to work quite well. We have
all fiddled with the user one but none of us use it.

On my new LCD most of the factory presets give white crushing. The
'maximum' one rather badly so. But that's what the average LCD buyer both
wants and expects.

Cool. Can you point me to a 42" diagonal CRT
with geometry (linearity etc) as good as a LCD or Plasma?

There are no perfect TVs (yet?)

No but I can point you to a 32" flat screen CRT with near perfect
geometry with far superior contrast, picture quality and natural
movement compared to any LCD or Plasma i've seen using SD input.

Your careful qualification is noted ;-)

Since I can't see myself moving to HD for a while yet, I want
something that does the best possible with SD until it dies (and being
a 8 year old Philips screen, could be any moment now)
