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

Jack, I have nothing to suggst over what has already been suggested
except PLEASE IGNORE EVERYTHING IanT says.
He has his own agenda which doesn't match reality.

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.

Is there a technical parameter that can be readily advertised for the
goodness of the SD-to-HD scaler that is present in these sets?

I know one could mention range and 'engine' names for each manufacturer
and rate them against each other, but how about something _real_ related
to the method of averaging, refresh and interpolation?

Perhaps dumbed down with another digital tick campaign - er, "ideal for SD"?

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.
