Backlight bleed (on LCD's), clouding, duff pixels, motion blur

In that case, give up watching television.
That's the best suggestion I've seen for a long time. Thank
goodness I still enjoy reading books.

Yup. And listening to music.

From CD, vinyl, or mp3 ? :-)

You missed out cassette, reel to reel, 8-Track, Minidisc, DCC, DAT and
Elcaset, SACD & DVD-Audio.

What's wrong with wax cylinders? ;-)

Bugger! Knew I missed one out :-( I've got an Edison Standard
Phonograph as well!

It's a bit blurred, but it was poor light and I used my phone camera.

I see nobody has mentioned concert halls.

The orchestra will play in A Flat.

Not in my flat though, as there are covenants which strictly forbid
the performance of group ensembles in my tenancy agreement

Some of the old documents I acquired following the purchase of my house
describe, in ancient legalese, covenants forbidding me to erect a steam engine
or create a manure heap or ashpit on my land. I have been racking my brains ever
since to think of an activity that would combine all three.

Perhaps it's fortunate that I have central heating and flushing toilets, and my
hi-fi system is not driven by steam.

I got a guitar recently. The music's rubbish but the sound quality is
fantastic.

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.

Thanks for this advice Bill. I bought a 42" Wharfedale LCD tv from Argos and
wasn't impressed at all with the standard of picture. Up until now i didn't
want to adjust the settings in case i made a mess of things.

Take a picture of the settings with a digital camera before you adjust
any, turn the flash off and use a slow shutter speed. Either that or
get a piece of paper and write them ALL down.

I'm not allowed to keep pigs. Or carry out the professions of an organ
grinder or peddler. Similar to being a freelance in broadcasting.
Especially the pigs.

I could keep chickens, though. Make a good prog for Ch4.

Rather limited selection of pre-recorded material.

Many of the cylinder phonographs let you record your own. And erase the
recordings with a blade attachment.
