Of late I have been quite dissatisfied with the PQ I have been getting out of my Philips 42" plasma. I have calibrated it using DVE, but still not satisfied. I visited the shop where I purchased it from, to see if I had a dud product, or if I was sold a poor quality plasma.
So I had a look at the same model I had purchased on display, and I was very impressed with how HDTV looked, but not so impressed with a DVD. Although, the salesperson had connected the DVD player using composite lead, and to my surprise it looked better than what mine looks using component progressive scan input. Her theory is that becuase there is less information in composite that it may actually appear to give better PQ than component. Could this be true??? I will try it tonight on my tv to see if there is any improvement, but I doubt it!
The main problem I have is that if brightness is set too low, blacks appear as blobs with no definition, and if I turn up the brightness to improve this, I get alot of white specs showing up in the black areas.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.......
Cheers!
