Barry Sanchez Posted 28 August, 2013 Share Posted 28 August, 2013 Has anyone got one? Looking into buying a new TV and these seem to be the best out there (with the price), any advice? Sony seem to be the leaders on this or so I am told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pap Posted 28 August, 2013 Share Posted 28 August, 2013 Aye, basically the same problem as we had when we first moved to HD. These days, most channels have an HD derivative and the vast majority of content is produced in the format. Back in the day, there were only a couple. If you're not throwing 4K pixels at the screen, you're not getting the full benefit of the telly. I have to wonder what sort of size screen you'll need to see the benefit. Gotta say; this cycle was quick. My Blu Ray collection is miniscule compared to the DVDs I got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stug76 Posted 28 August, 2013 Share Posted 28 August, 2013 How do you feed these beasts? I was in Currry's this evening and saw the Sony display and it looked very sharp. Presumably you'd have to upgrade your DVD player to get any use out of it though? Are there any 4D XL tv feeds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a bit brighter than normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essruu Posted 29 August, 2013 Share Posted 29 August, 2013 I recently bought an LG TV and when I was setting it up I discovered that it has a setting for "Home Use" and another for ""Store Use". This was a bit brighter than normal. Anybody who uses 'Store Mode', 'Auto', 'Dynamic' or similar, and doesn't spend time properly setting it up for realistic colours is wasting their time buying a decent TV. The human eye is automatically drawn to bright and vivid colours; which is why all sets have a 'Dynamic' or 'Store' or 'Demo' mode. The picture definition and detail in these modes is shockingly bad; but, people think it's better because it's brighter. Seriously, if anyone has never properly set up their modern TV's picture settings, then they've wasted their money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
