I bought this TV at BestBuy, and got my friends to lug this beast into my room. The first thing I noticed while setting it up, was that the batteries it came with were dead. Next, I noticed there were tiny bits of dust behind the screen, where to this day I can see two black specs if I look for them. When I got it set up, the geometry was a bit messed up (4:3 mode's lines weren't straight). By boldy entering the service menu, I was able to correct this issue for the most part.
Next, I noticed bold colors (especially red) ran, and blurred the overall image. I was able to fix this by lowering the contrast to no higher than 17/50. Also, as a previous poster had mentioned, black details are lost in darker scenes. I fixed this by calibrating my TV off of the 'Movie' preset (which keeps contrast low, and brightness medium-high).
However, after much tuning, I went from having a crappy bargain-bin item to a beautiful 1080i picture, and an amazing step up from my SDTV. I can't quite say I recommend the set, but if you feel confident in your abilities to tweak the overall image, and you're on a tight budget, then this set may just do the trick! |
