Well after much deliberation I finally went out and got myself a nice new Tosh 42WH36 RPTV. It was delivered yesterday and once I got it unpacked The first thing I noticed was that the TV channels were already tuned in (the instructions spoke about autotune) The box was sealed by 2 Toshiba straps.
Anyway after tuning it in I started on the convergence. I have it looking ok as far as I can see but it's too early to say for sure so will monitor that. When watching it one thing I have noticed that, on 4X3 mode the grey strip on the sides has an orangish tinge on the right hand side. it seems much brighter than the left hand side. Nothing seems to change this. Is this normal or a fault?
I think the picture looks like a VCD on my old TV (a 29" Panasonic). I realise that the TV is blowing the image up to a large size but I was not expecting it to look as bad as this. I certainly looks worse on moving objects which seem to loose their quality and becomes so blocky and messy that is not nice to look at. this happens worse on Sky Digital (connected through RGB Scart) but is also noticible on DVD as well as Terrestrial broadcasts.
I also feel that the colours looks very pasty. Flesh tones in particular look very yellow as if the people are wearing masses of make up and to be honest it looks unpleasant.
I am not sure what the different Scan modes do, I.E. 100HZ, natural, Active etc. I have it set for natural as the mnaula says that the best to use, but what would anyone else recomend?
SO am I being picky, am I looking for too much from a set that is 42" in size or should it be better than this?
I would appreciate any advice or suggestions.
Regards
James
