Unfortunately that's a symptom inherent in LCD technology. If you want deeper blacks and better shadow detail you need to look at Panasonic or preferably Pioneer Kuro plasmas or at the very least addressable LED backlit LCD's.
The best you can do with your current display is to calibrate it using Digital Video Essentials or AVIA DVD's or even better get it calibrated by an ISF technician.Jason -
Oh, boo. I worked a second job for 4 months to buy this thing

Honestly even the Kuro's greyness on an all black screen bothers me. But what I have is good enough for now...and the kuro looks great when the screen has other things on it. So does my Sony. It's just as soon as the screen is mostly black it turns that greyish backlit black color and it bothers me lol.Comment

Well, after much tweaking with my laptop setup and software, I've got it hooked up and playing Windows Media High Definition material on my home theater. Wow! this stuff is very, very good!

I have a VCR and a DVD connected to the RSX-1057. I have a 37' component video cable from the receiver to a ceiling mounted projector. The DVD is conected to the receiver via component video cable and the VCR via composite cables. Occasionally, the screen blacks out and takes a few seconds to restore.... -
Does anyone know if you can control a Comcast high definition cable box via a remote control through walls. Is there any device that you can get to do this? Thanks. -
We've discussed this a bit here in the forum, but I don't think we have a dedicated thread for it.
As many know, and we saw coming as a natural technology progression, we have to evolve beyond today's mainstream "high definition" of up to 1080p, to higher resolution. One term...
