Hi All,
Have recently purchased a Panny TH-42PH9 and think it's a cracking display except when it comes to watching Freeview on it. Now I think I do sit a bit too close to the screen being only just over 2.5 ft away (odd room shape problem) and I don't know if it is my imagination but the qaulity of the freeview image seems to have degraded somewhat of late. I now get a lot of noise / dotcrawl around the edges of people's faces and txt and it has become really distracting and I'm sure it wasn't as bad when I first got the panel.
All other input types are fantastic, DVD's are great (just a standard progressive player) and Xbox360 looks awsome on it.
So my question is.... I might be able to get my hands on a 2nd hand ISCAN HD and was wondering if it would sort out my Freeview viewing? I would love to buy a more modern / new scaler but after purchasing the panel my funds will not strecth to it.
If the ISCAN will suit my needs what would be the best way to connect it to the PH9 bearing in mind that I have the 360 connected via the VGA port and freeview box to a component terminal board?
As always I look forward to any replies (hopefully)
Thanks,
Eddie
