The Sharps are 1080p over HDMI only (for the European models at least) and they're horrible. (awful viewing angles, greyscale, colour reproduction, motion handling, gamma) They do have great black levels though, but that's the only nice thing I can say about them.

I would find that dull even in a pitch black room. There's just no contrast to the TV with the backlight so dim.Originally posted by Haribokart View Post
I go between 75 with the lights on/daylight, to 20 with the lights off.Comment

He doesn't have the same Tv, so the levels may be different.
I keep mine at about 35 most of the time for freeview , which seems a decent level of viewing for my room.
Games are usually set alot nearer the top end of the scale.Comment

Exactamondo, peoples preferences in TV settings is purely subjective as everyones eyes see different levels of light and colour.Originally posted by Lyris View PostAnd he won't necessarily have the same tastesComment

Gah, does anyone know how the Samsung LE40F71BX compares to the Sony KDL-40W2000? I was pretty much going to go for the Sony (when I can summon up the courage to spend that much money!) but I've now seen the Samsung available for over £200 cheaper than the Sony, and I think they both use the same LCD panel, and the Samsung officially does 1920*1080 over VGA. Is the Sony really worth the extra? Any opinions?Comment
-
The same panel? Where did you read that?
The Sony is the mutts nutts BTW. HD looks absolutely phenomenal and it does a bloody good job with SD DVDs as well.Comment

I thought I read it somewhere on avforums.com, too many posts to search through to find it again though I probably misread it or it was referring to a different screen or something like that.

From past brand experience, I would say "probably". As far as I know Samsung still don't let you turn off the overzealous "DNIe" processing. They do let you do a split-screen demo of it, and the side that shows "DNIe Off" always looks better.Originally posted by HumanEnergy View Post
Any Samsung owners correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think DNIe can be disabled. The Sony 40W on the other hand can be set up to have a very un-tampered with picture.
The Samsung apparently does 1080p over Component though which is a nice touch for 360 owners...Comment

If useless, since the 360 only does HD-DVD's over Component at 1080i.Originally posted by Lyris View PostComment

Seriously don't bother with the Samsungs, the ?200 extra will get you a substantionally better TV. They are a good Budget Tv , but I wouldn't waste your cash if you are interested in the best quality image.Originally posted by HumanEnergy View PostComment

Nah, not really. Movies are all 24fps anyway, so 1080i is identical to 1080p. You'd only see the difference if there was ever a 1080p game which ran at 60fps, then the 360 would output it non interlaced and you would get some quality improvement.Originally posted by Shakey_Jake33 View PostComment

Anyone got a link to some technobabble about why it's really hard to make 1080p plasmas with full 1920 pixel columns at anything less than 50" ?
Panasonic have announced they are attempting a 42". Just interested in why it's harder to make the pixels smaller.Comment

You're right Kotatsu, it's identical - if the TV detects the 3-2 pulldown pattern properly. The Sony W2000s don't lock onto the cadence propelry so if you look up close, you can see small jagged artefacts sometimes. The Samsungs are probably the same.
Since the chipset manufacturers and TV makers can't get this sort of thing right, feeding these TVs with 1080p is the best idea to avoid things going wrong and give the screen as few chances as possible to screw up.Comment
