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...


I blame the parents. ;-)

I was a TV engineer in the late 1960's when colour sets first arrived.
I used the brightness, contrast, colour set method. Most customers
didn't like the results. Everything had to be over the top. I even
told some customers that the tubes would not last long with the
colours they wanted.

and it wasn't just the customers. We had a US producer using on of the
Lime Grove studios - everything had to be fully saturated. "They've paid
for color, so we give them COLOR" was his motto.

Didn't the ITV companies have a moratorium on B&W feature films for some
time after colour was introduced?

I don't think so. I remeber a dealer complining that on Saturday mornings
all 3 channels were in B&W most weeks.

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



I bought 1 19-inch LG Freeview TV for our kitchen last week in the
Currys sale. The software seems quite clever but the picture still looks
slightly soft, even after tweaking the settings. I couldn't get things
any better on the Currys shop model either. Whilst in the store I also
took a look at some of the bigger LG sets - same problem to me. Perhaps
they look better on HD stuff, but based on what I've seen I don't think
that I'll be buying any more LG kit, unless the picture situation (as I
see it) improves.

At standard resolution this equates to pixels over 1mm square - of course it
will look fuzzy close up!

This size of screen needs to be viewed from at least 5m.

Could it have been something Granada did then? I have a strong memory
of something of this sort.

The recent 32" LGs which I have come across when installing satellite
etc have shown apalling lack of definition with non-HD material to the
extent that totally non-technical customers have commented on the lack
of quality.
You could say its their own fault for not looking at the quality
properly before buying but also the shops are seriously at fault for
only showing programmes from a HD source. This gives no indication
about how a set deals with poor SD material and this is the area which
seems to be most variable from set to set.
Buyers beware, SD quality is what you should look most closely at as
that is generally what you are likely to be watching most of the time.
Most sets can make a reasonable job of HD.

Linked to this discussion, remember that most new models from most
manufacturers have seperate settings for all of the picture perameters
for each of the AV inputs and for Freeview and for Analogue. So
settings which you make when you are watching Freeview, for example,
will not affect those for other inputs. This makes installation very
long-winded. It also causes many people to ask why the picture from
Sky is totally different to that from Freeview etc etc.
