Hi all - first post so be gentle !
I've had my Panny PW6 for a few weeks now and overall I'm very happy with the picture quality. My only gripe is the occasional colour banding I see on certain images from both Sky+ and DVD.
Sky+ is connected with an (old) IXOS scart cable to the panny scart board and my aged sony DVD is connected via a Thor S Video cable to the dual slot rgb/component board (this will eventually be replaced with a prog scan player connected via component when my bank balance recovers
)
Is this just a feature of the PW6 , the quality of the source material, or the rest of the kit (cables etc) ?
I'm not convinced it's a limitation of the display as it copes admirably with certain images which have gradual colour degradations - e.g. underwater shots in The Natural World on BBC2 the other day had huge expanses of varying shades of blue and this looked simply stunning with no colour banding at all, yet in the same program in a number of sunset scenes , the sun clearly had distinct bands of colour around it.
Is this just something I'll have to live with or is there anything I can do to improve things ? I'm still experimenting with the picture settings but am yet to find a happy medium!
Would something like a JS Scart to VGA converter help (not sure If this is a goer as eventually I want to hook up a PC to the screen).
