Evening all,
These forums have been recommended to me as the place to go for thoughts about AV kit. I've had a search around and haven't seen anyone here with the same issues as me so allow me to see if anyone here has any ideas.
Last week I bought a shiny new 24" Samsung SyncMaster P2470HD
I have mostly been using is with my PCs DVI output, which looked great at native full 1080p resolution. The problems started when I tried HDMI.
The HDMI output from my PC, at the same resolution at the DVI output that looked awesome, was terrible. Text was rough and unclear in places, the colour saturation was poor and was painful to look at. I tested all setting available on the PCs HDMI output and on the Samsung itself with only very minor improvements - it still looked very rough compared to how sharp the DVI (and VGA for that matter) inputs where.
I then gave my Xbox360 Elite a spin on the HDMI - it looked just as bad. Again tried all the settings options on the Xbox (720, 1080i, 1080p etc) and the Samsung but to no real improvement.
At the moment I'm planning to return the TV to Richer Sounds but before I do is there anything else I can try? Don't want to lug it back to the shop if I've missed something and end up look a fool
Many thanks for any ideas.
