LCD picture quality issues
Hey All
Hoping u can help me...I have bought a Samsung LE40N87BDX/XEC LCD and have it connected to digi and cinema through scart.... however I can not get the picture correct.. it looks of low definition, slightly pixelated and low pic quality. To be honest my old CRT looked better
Anything you can recommend to get the pic right????
what the settings should be etc etc
Also when tuning pic settings which should you do first?
Cheers
Ian

My Samsung was picture perfect right out of the box, HDMI from Xbox360/Cinema, scart from Sky.
I just let it tune itself which it did and haven't felt a need to change anything.
What type of equipment is providing the source? I had a Samsung H.C. which provided an upscaling facility, that didn't have any probs when plugged into the tv. The Xbox 360 HD-DVD also upscales standard DVDs and works well both on my Samsung and Panasonic.
You should have various settings where you can modify the tv backlighting etc. Also check what the mode is set to. I leave my Samsung to automatically change to game mode if the 360 turns on, but you can change it if you're watching films through it etc.
Have you got the manual? That had tips in on how to get the best results.

I am running it through a Samsung home cinema and digi box (both connected through scart)
The contrast was set at 100% when I tried to fine tune the pic but I just can not get this right......

I understand that the colour reproduction on an LCD is never as good as a plasma and very probably a CRT too. Also the response time is always a bit slower even though they are getting faster now, which means the likelihood of blurring on a moving picture. The quality will also depend on the type of scan whether progressive which is best or interlaced which is not as good.
