Help new TV...

Hi,

I recently recieved a toshiba 32z33b television and the picture is slightly fuzzy. I have mainly used it for games so far but the picture on regular TV is not so great either. I'm not bothered about the TV part (my aerial connection isnt very good) mostly the games, but do you think this could be down to poor cables? My PS2 scart cable is RGB but was only a cheap one, so maybe it would be a good idea to buy a better quality one. If anyone can recommend any then I would be most grateful. I havent got my DVD player yet and am kind of worried that the picture will be bad even when i get that .

If anyone could spare a moment to help me I'd be very grateful.

Thanks,

Chris.

Yeah get a Blaze Monster cable.

Hate to be a nag, but could you perhaps tell me where to buy one?

Will dixons/comet/game have them?

Thanks again,

Chris

Have a look at ixos .co.uk they do a very good ps2 scart lead.

Thanks a lot guys, I just hope this fixes it otherwise i have another 'dud' telly Im not so lucky with em...

My theory is that its a bigger TV so you can see the imperfections more but im still not sure though.

Thanks again

dont you have YUV component connections on your telly, if so might want to invest in a Prog scan PS2 (if TV will cope)

Just out of interest how far away from the TV are you sitting? With a 32" you should be at least 9 foot away to get the best picture. Maybe thats not helping?

Nooo just scart and composite (the yellow plug i think Always get confused). I couldnt afford a component one

Perhaps I am sitting too close aswell :D

Thanks for all the help people, you've been great.

Now to get me one of those ixos cables (that look really expensive!)

you could just get the offical Sony RGB one (assuming you have set PS2 to RGB )

Hi k0rcha

As a matter of interest, where did you get your 32z33B? I ordered one from empiredirect way back in September but haven’t heard from them yet. I phoned Toshiba last week and they said they would be available in early December. Mind you, I’m a bit worried about the picture quality now (should have tried before I buyed but it did seem like a good offer)…

By the way, www.fillyourboots.com do a nice range of IXOS cables at discount prices. I don’t think they list a PS2 lead but it may be worth sending them an email.

Anyway if/when I get mine I’ll let you know what the PQ is like.

Cheers,

I ordered mine from www.tvandvideodirect.com and they delivered within 4 days. I think im paranoid of TV's now because of all the problems i had before so i wouldnt get too worried. Thanks for the link aswell, ill look into that definately!

Good luck with your order. Theres nothing worse than not knowing when its gonna come

P.S Thanks again dragon.
