I can't see Grain

[csyoung]

I do like a little grain I'd that's what is intended but I think the issue I am having is I had grain on my other tv which is in theory was a lesser model.

maybe you need lasek

Have you calibrated? Was your old display calibrated?

[csyoung]

I didn't have old one calibrated but I am having this one done August 25th. Ironic before I got this one I kept reading on these posts how grain is so awful to alot of people who didn't like it but here I am complaining about not having enough. As long as grain isn't a direct reflection of quality of tv I can live with it. I just wanted to know if it was or if I needed a bigger tv (which will probably mean divorce papers in my near future).

hah. you guys talk about grain like its salt and pepper.

[Pelican170]

hahah, in my opinion, be happy, grain sucks... but I understand what you are saying. Try Under Siege and see if you see any...

Try nick and norah the whole movie is grain,crappy transfer!

Is AMP turned on? If it is then try turning it off and see if the grain returns. Your old set did not have AMP and is probably why you saw the grain then and aren't seeing it now.

For the most part, I don't see grain either. But, I suspect it is because I grew up watching "snowy" television and watching movies on the big screen (back when the screen was actually big), and looking at slides on a home projector. I am oblivious to grain - it doesn't come to my attention when it's there, and I don't miss it when it's not.

As for "300", the last time a watched it on HD-DVD played on a CRT HDTV, it looked a lot more like "snow" than "grain". I ssem to be very sensitive to video noise, but not to grain.

If you are happy with the appearance of your monitor, there is no reason to worry about what the "grain snobs" think.

Try watching Predator BD...you should see some grain with that one.

we should trade tvs

If you watch the black a white portion at the beginning of "Casino Royale" and can't see grain then you've got a problem. That scene is filmed to be deliberately grainy as it's a flashback. It's a swirling grain-lover's dream!

[Teabaggins]

gently rub a little sand paper over your eye ball, just a little and do it gently

same here. but then you will get asked the question, "What's wrong with grain?" haha.

I see grain really close to my TV and of course if a movie is grain infested.
But then sometimes I see TV's on display that I'm standing right in front off, with near perfect clearness. who knows.

[sardaukar1977]

hahah, can't win can we, if theres not enough grain people complain, if there is too much grain people complain. I give up!

Sigh. I think grain can help tell the story when used for artistic reasons (Which it very often is).

To the OP, you may have just had your sharpness setting to high on your old tv, you will know for sure though once you get your television calibrated.
