It always seems too dark. To get a half decent picture I have the settings: Standard picture mode; Contrast 87; Brightness 87; Colour 95; Colour Temp Neutral; Sharpness 22; Noise reduction high; Black Corrector high; Adv Conrast Enhancer high; Gamma high; Clear white low; colour space normal. The backlight and hue adjusters are unavailable for adjustment. I assume these are automatic. The TV is housed in a cabinet. I have tried the TV out of the cabinet but this makes no difference.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? Can anyone advise how to improve things? Have I just got a bad TV? ]]> RAYBIN http://www.avforums.com/forums/sony-owners-forum/1132499-problem-kdl-32d3000-picture.html http://www.avforums.com/forums/sony-owners-forum/1132441-sony-40w5500-50hz-100hz.html Mon, 23 Nov 2009 19:47:01 GMT Hi all,
sorry for the probably naive question but I just bought this tvthinking it's 100hz with Motionflow but at the bck of the set it reads 50hz??

Is it 50hz somehow the "physical" cappability and 100hz is achieved by software? Is this the norm?

Sorry for the prob ridiculous question but it's doing my heading...

My Sony Bravia is connected to the PS3 via HDMi cable and works well, but my PS3 games are only playing in 720p.
I am not techy, so I don't have a clue why or how to correct it.
I don't feel I am getting the full benefit of HD and I would appreciate your help.

Granada Area - Winter Hill Transmitter.
I have recently had a new aerial fitted together with a signal booster. The aerial is connected correctly to the above dvd hard drive recorder which is then connected correctly to a Sony Bravia TV.
When I retune the TV it finds all the correct digital channels and stores them correctly.
When i retune the dvd recorder it finds all the channels but when it is switched off it loses them. That means that it has to be retuned everytime I switch it on.
Sony stated it must be the signal strength but the TV is working perfectly. I have had one recorder replaced by a new one and the same problem occurs.
Can you please help me?!

I am trying to stream media from my Sony Vaio VGN-NR21Z to the Bravia through a secure Belkin Wireless N router. I am running Windows Vista and Kaspersky Internet Security 2010.

My Bravia when tested says connection succesful for network (plugged in via ethernet cable) BUT cannot display any info for server ("server cannot be recognised"). Wondows Media Player 11 is set up for Media Sharing. Bravia does not appear on network map (sits at bottom of page and says it cannot be added but I don't know why or how to add it).

When I access router setup the only client listed is my laptop but I don't know if I can, or how to, manually add Bravia if this is the issue.

Is this likely to be Bravia being blocked from internet access (bookmarking of online photos doesn't seem to work) by WPA protection on router OR some issue with Kaspersky blocking access?

ANY help or suggestions greatly appreciated as I'm getting nowhere fast!

Many thanks in advance.

However when connected this way I get basic stereo sound on the PS3 menus but no sound at all when trying to play back something with a DD or DTS soundtrack (I'm aware my amp will not playback the new HD tracks on BluRay).

Can someone tell me if this works or not because I'm having no luck at all. :lease: ]]> Septimus82 http://www.avforums.com/forums/sony-owners-forum/1130285-ps3-5-1-a.html http://www.avforums.com/forums/sony-owners-forum/1129978-using-microphone-through-str-da1200es.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:44:58 GMT Can anyone help me out ?

I have a 40"sony kdl40v4000, which i bought after doing alot of research back in Feb of this year.

lately i have noticed some bluring whilst playing games and watching dvds, i first noticed it when i was playing call of duty 4 the other day, i did wonder if its always been there and now ive noticed it im looking for it, but surely not and its a fault somewhere.

its noticeable on dark against light movement, so for example on cod 4 on one of the night levels if you look up at the trees then turn left and right quickly the trees blur across the sky, or you go into one of the houses and turn quick you see the doorways, pictures or people blur across.

This is with the brightness on 52, alot of the games calibaration menus require the brightness to be 42 or 36 on EA games but anything below 50 and its far worse, if you put it upto 60 it starts to go.

ive tried another HDMI lead, another socket and adjusted the settings,

My mate has basically the same tv, slight lower spec and its 2 years old so its in the old grey colour sony done, anyway i done the same thing on his cod 4, same settings and the blur was not present at all.

Told sony this and i took my PS3 upto a local centre and they tried it on their v range, same settings, no blur.

I even tried lowering the brightness on the 2 tvs to try make them blur, but nothing.

They said they would send some one out tuesday, but if a fault is not found i would have to pay £80, i told them that if they dont find a fault im not paying and they will have to change the TV because to me there must be something wrong,

My current settings are
Cinema
Light 3
Contrast 88/90
Brightness 52
coulour 50
Temp warm 1
sharpness 5
