When watching blu-ray or 1080p... Does size matter? - Blu-ray Forum

POOPonYOU · 04-28-2007, 07:51 AM

I always thought SD TV looked best on (HD Monitors only listed) LCD/Plasma > DLP > rear projection LCD

I have a 61" Samsung DLP and it looks shitty when I watch SD channels on Directv. The HD channels look a lot better but they still don't look as good as I think they should. Anyone got any ideas on what would be the optimal settings?

1st post..I'll chime in as I have a Sony 50 SXRB that looks as good as the one's in the stores showing a demonstration disc. (Gotcha wallet)

How may you ask? I calibrated the picture settings. You can find them here after a search for your model TV. Or have a tech or by a clibration disc.

This made the biggest difference to the TV out of the box.

My Blu-Ray discs look stunning.

I hear component cables look better than a HDMI cable with cable television. Something about the networks not being up to snuff with the digital signal yet.

This is from a Best Buy installer who told me he does nothing but play around with connections everyday.

I think I may try his advice.
