Gap Face
I got an HDTV a while ago and my friends and I cant tell the difference from my 32" HDTV from my friends 23" SDTV. My HDTV settings are at standard because I dont really no how to make the picture better by custom picture quality. Most people say that should be fine but some tell me I should change it. Also some people say that I should turn down the sharpness all the way down but what should I do for the contrast brightness and color? This HD DVD player is the only HD thing I got besides my cable box and that looks normal to. My HDTV is the samsung LN-S3251D which Cnet said was the best 32" LCD HDTV last year. So what should I do with the settings? My HDTVs native resolution is 720p and the movies I buy have good Picture quality from what highdef digest says. So what should I do?
yes I am watching HD DVDs and also HD channels from comcast
Answer
Forget the picture settings...To get an HD picture you must have the signal coming from your devices connected by HDMI OR COMPONENT inputs to the TV set first.
Then your devices must be set to 720P in the video output part of the device's menu.
Then the SOURCE of the actual signal must be an HD signal
Your cable box must be tuned to an HD station and the SHOW must have the HD box showing up on the Guide....
As for the HD DVD player, you must have an HD-DVD disc for HD, and it CAN'T be an old movie converted to HD usage.
All these hoops you must jump thru....sheesh !
But....I PREFER to test HD setup by going to Discovery Channel's HD Theater station...they are the best HD signal to test with...
Especially the commercials...like the one with the ANTs crawling around or the mountains in them.
There you will see the DETAIL of the small critters and plants.
And it's a quick and easy test for your TV and the Cable signal.

How do I get the best picture quality for my HDTV?

I bought a new TV for my room, the LG 32LK330 to be exact. Compared to my 42in Panasonic Viera that's sitting in my living room, the LG is a downgrade even with the same HDMI cable being used on both TVs. I know they are two different brands but how can I get my LG to be better. The color is just not bright and vibrant, it's more or less dull and unwelcoming. I used the Picture Wizard twice already, both with different settings, and still didn't make much change. Are there any specific settings I should use to get the best out of my LG? The TV is used mostly for gaming on the PS3, so are there any settings I should change on my PS3 as well? Any help is appreciated.
Answer
Under picture options choose vivid picture mode and custom adjust from there. The LG is a LCD. You didn't post the Panasonic model number. I'm suspecting it's a plasma. There's no comparison. Plasmas have a deeper richer color than LCD. Also on the LG turn off the intellisensor. You should be able to get a good picture out of the LG from there.
