To All my Blu-ray Experts I have a question

When you talk about seeing a glow around characters or objects it seems as if you're referring to edge enhancement. However, for most people if you don't tell them that there's edge enhancement in the picture they'll never notice it. That's why it seems strange that that it would be so noticable in your description unless you just have eagle eyes and have a knack at noticing things that are out of place.

Here's a link that will give you an idea of what I'm talking about.

Try watching the same scenes again and see if you still have the same problem. Keep in mind if it is edge enhancement it's not going away but maybe turning off the edge enhancement will make it less noticable. Good luck.

would you personally keep the edge enhancement on or off on you tv? i mean im sitting pretty close to my tv because their is no furniture in my house yet and i just sit pretty much on top of the tv? i love how the 120hz looks, do you think by keeping off the edge enhancement it will take away from that?

that article is very helpful but its the ultimate guide to edge enhancement for DVD not blu ray? does this matter or no?

Not all tv's have an edge enhancement feature, but if mine had one I'd keep it off. Most videophiles would agree with me, it's not necessary.

120hz and the edge enhancement feature have nothing to do with each other. One is dealing with frame rate and the other is dealing with artificial edge enhancement.

Viewing distance is really personal preference but with your screen size I'd say the optimum distance is around 10ft but anywhere between 5 to 10 feet should be fine. The fact you're sitting so close is probably another reason you're seeing edge enhancement if in fact that is what you're seeing.

That link can apply to either DVD or Blu-Ray because EE can be applied to both formats.

Also try and minimize the sharpness setting on your TV, meaning don't set it so high.

minimizing the sharpness you mean the 120hz? should i change it to medium... and another question do i have to change my picture settings. or whatever its on already is fine..

thanks again

No the 120hz feature has nothing to do with sharpness either. 120hz feature just means that your TV has a display rate of 120 frames per second.

Most people tend to set the sharpness setting too high believing that they're getting the best possible picture when in actuality they're not.

Picture settings do matter when you're talking about having the best possible viewing experience. If this is important to you than I'd invest in a calibration blu-ray or use one of the blu-rays that has a calibration tool to help you calibrate your T.V.
