Seeing as the tv is supposed to have 600hz etc i did expect a much sharper
and clearer picture.



advertising standards had to investigate a case like this recently - someone
complained that calling it 600hz would lead people to think that meant the
screen had a 600hz update - which they don't

No the repetition rate will still be as slow as the original in any case. If
flicker is on the program it will be faithfully transfered. I really do not
know why we invent bogus impressive sounding features, what is needed is
some kind of benchmarking system of test signals to see what its like.

I think these 600mhz machines are designed mainly for playback of mp5
files.

Thanks for all the responses, so by the sounds of it, its the Freeview which
is more of the poor picture, rather then the TV itself?

Im just trying to work out the advantages of way ive upgraded to a nice 50"
tv which the picture now doesnt seem much cop, to keeping my 26" tv which
freeview was always razor sharp.

We were watching Eastenders last night (sorry for my taste in TV) but that
picture didnt look very sharp, but watching a downloaded divx film looked
ok.

I think faces and outlines look a bit fuzzy fairly close up, i like the
style and look of the TV, just not totally sure its what i was after now
really.

Just supposing i go for the return option, anyone know how Comet deals with
returns of open and used TVs?
Its really hard for me to say there is an acutal fault, just perhaps my own
expectations of the TV for 800 notes were alot higher!

Thanks

Just another question, my daughter has been watching an Elmo DVD on the tv,
ive noticed that when he bobs up and down quite quickly there seems to be a
small ray of dot trials which follow him around, only really noticable when
goes fast but again this is something im noticing on this TV and not my old
one! Again is this normal?

.... which is why I've been using it for forty years :-)

I visited my daughter this morning and found myself sitting five feet
from a 42" over-saturated, too bright, too contrasty Sony Bravia. When I
volunteered to fix the picture she refused my kind offer on the grounds
that there was nothing wrong with it. Sometimes I despair...

It is a fault. The set is advertised as having built in Freeview so it
should be able to handle it.

sounds like one of the so called ' picture improvement ' modes - presumably
these can be turned off ?

Hi All,

My LG 50PS6000 plasma TV arrived today.

To be honest im not totally sure im pleased with it!?

The picture looks a bit fuzzy unless you are sitting fair way back, is
this normal?

It also doesnt seem to be able to handle `patterns` very well, i.e if you
are watching something and they have wallpaper in the background, it kinda
pixleates over it.

Im also not sure if the screen seems to flicker a bit here and there,
sometimes you can see the screen brightness fade a little, and i have the
energy saver this off.

I have tried playing with the settings and cant seem to make it much
better, just so i can try, what is a good setting for the brightness,
colour and contrast?

Seeing as the tv is supposed to have 600hz etc i did expect a much sharper
and clearer picture.

Is it me, or the TV?

Thanks

Are you looking for an excuse to get a refund or to buy a decent LCD TV?
600Hz is meaningless by the way - what were you told it represented?
That is almost as bad as when the ASA had to tell Samsung off for telling
lies about their latest series of TVs being "LED". They were only LCD
with LEDs for the backlighting!
The bigger the screen, the more things you will notice wrong with a low
bitrate "Digital TV channel" from Freeview. Some channels are better than
others. Try watching a DVD and you will notice the difference.
Just wait until you see the screen burn from channel logos, known as dogs.
Your electric bill will also be huge as I would say that TV uses 300W+
Didn't you go and look at any of the TVs to see what sort of picture they
could display? I spent days doing that before buying a SAMSUNG LCD.
Shops sometimes have the colour saturated and contrast right up to make
the TV noticable - especially if they are promoting any HD products!
I think you made a bad choice buying "old technology" like Plasma, you would
have been better getting a 42" LG LCD TV as they look much better then
the 50" plasma for picture quality.
In a few years we will have LED screens which will not require backlighting,
but only after all the LCDs are sold off. They are only a few mm thick and
you can hang them on a wall like a blind. Sadly the main manufacturers made
a decision not to release them for at least 5 years.

How do i get a refund for this TV if ive open the box and used it, i
purchased it a week ago, came yesterday? the comet refund policy says:

If you've opened the box:
Provided the product is still unused, the process is almost the same except
that, for products costing £25 or more, we deduct a restocking fee (10% of
the original price up to a maximum of £99) from your refund to cover the
cost of repackaging and restocking.
Alternatively you can choose a gift card credit for the full purchase price.
Remember to return all the original packaging.

One more thing - we can't accept the return of any product with missing
parts such as remote control, leads or manuals, so make sure you hang on to
everything that came with your product. We also can't take back any
pre-recorded videos, DVD, audio, video game or software products if the seal
has been broken unless they are faulty.



Its a bit unclear about if you have used the product? - is it worth saying
its faulty?, how do i prove or disprove this if it is faulty if i just say i
think its faulty as its very fuzzy, would they take it away and want to fix
it or offer a refund (do they test it)?



Thanks
