P.S. Use Movie mode all the time and it'll turn off a lot of the processing by default anyway.
Game mode switches much off as well

Hi
I have had this tv since it came out in 2006 have done all the firmware updates just bought a wii and remembered that i will not get 1:1 over component.
What do people recommend leave it connected via scart or go for component?

I connect via component and the picture is great for an SD console. IIRC I run it at 576i as opposed to 480p as I think it looks better like that. Not 100% on that though so would have to check.
Thanks
For those of us who still have this tv has anything new tempted any of you? i have been looking in to the LE-46A956
Has anyone bought one of these that had the f71
or bought the 6,7 or 8 series 46" or 52" versions.
I know on paper these are alot better but in terms of viewing is i worth paying £1200-£1400 out again?
I am sure alot of people will want to know the answer to this.
I got the A656 a while back and thought the PQ and black level was excellent. I was surprised though, when I compared them side by side. I thought the F71 looked just as good, apart from the better black levels of the A656.
The only obvious advantages, IMO, are the extra HDMI's, a better remote and the DTV tuner.
I think the F71 is a much better looking TV.
So if you're happy with what you've got, I'd say stick with it for a while.
In the main there are just two things I want out of a replacement TV...Thanks

I guess that is going to be the only difference between them all is the black levels.
And like you say a few more connections e.t.c
Have you still got yours or sold it now?
Like Disco Stu, I am looking for a larger set in the new year (probably around 50") for the living room. The LE40F71 will go into the bedroom. Like others I would really just be looking for :-
- Better black levels
- 24p
- More HDMI connections (idealy 4)
I would also like 1:1 pixel mapping for component, but that's not essential.
The main reason is to get a bigger screen as the room we have now is considerably bigger than the room when we bought the 40" and it would easily support a 50"-60" screen.
I'm going to have a good look in the new year to see what comes up in the sales as whilst there are some decent deals around now, retailers are really going to have to go for it in the new year.
Hi CAS.
A656 ticks all those boxes, if you must get a new one!
Hi all,
I've tweaked the cr@p out of all my electronics now. Upgraded mains cables etc and I must say the picture of the F71 is very good. Sharp and detailed but I don't know if this is normal or some setting I've encountered but, on dark areas you sort of get a pinkish/purplish macroblocking. Dead obvious from extreme angles or on darker scenes. If you use something like Dynamic mode or to some extent Game mode it dissapears but at a cost of some colour purity.
Not sure if it's just a limitation of the set or something more sinister?
Dynamic Dimming off, Gamma off and Dynamic Contrast off now so the picture is very un-processed.
