Watching Sky through a Plasma

[Hertfordshire1]

Hey forum.

Is anyone having this?

I have a Tosh 42wp16 plasma. I'm connecting my Sony digibox to that plasma using the JS RGB to VGA, with a good scart and a VanDamme VGA lead. What with the price of the RGB to VGA device and the various cables I was expecting the picture to be great. However, skin tones and colour blending are not smooth and block like. The picture quality was better on my Sony 28" tv!!

Being new to plasma's, should I be expecting a better quality?

I have my DVD connected to the Tosh using VanDamme component leads and the picture is first class.

Also if I use my Ixos Gold (scart to composite) and bypass the VGA route the picture quality seems better.

Any thoughts?

Also what picture/colour settings are you using for your Tosh's??

Hi

Using composite is giving you a softer (and inferior) picture. Using VGA is giving you a truer picture, but it shows up the MPEG compression a lot more.

Look here for why:

Cheers for that Andrew.

It certainly makes sense.

Guess I'll have to watch more DVD's!!!
