best led hdtv picture quality image
charchar88
I will be looking to get a 50-60 inch HDTV sometime next year and was wondering which technology is better for watching sports in HD, and HDTV in general? Plasma seems a lot cheaper and from what I've read has better picture quality but I heard again LED might be better for sports/hdtv. Which is the way to go?
Answer
Plasma...due to it's very wide viewing angles, and fast response time, giving you no blur on fast action.. (no refresh rates needed..) Long life, just like LCD/LED..

My new Samsung LED 7 Series TV is grainy. How can I improve the picture quality?

I have connected my sky+ box to it using the scart lead. When i sit further away from the tv the picture looks better but it is not great closer up. How do i get the crystal clear picture that you expect with a tv like this? I'd appreciate any help you can give. Thanks.

I don't live in EU so don't have hands on experience with SCART. But to my understanding SCART is a Standard Definition connection only. It can't do HD. You need to use HDMI or Component in order to actually feed your TV HD.
Plus you also need an HD box from Sky. Depending on how old yours is, it might be one that only does SD from it. You want to get that upgrade to an HD capable box.
If you are sending SD to your HDTV, you're going to encounter some visual defects. And just like you describe, they will seem less noticeable if you're far away and more noticeable if you're closer to the screen. But either way they will be there.
The reason is that SD (PAL) is a aspect ratio of 5:4 and a resolution of 720x576. But HD is an aspect ratio of 16:9 and a resolution of 1920x1080 (in your case as you bought a 1080p TV). So there is a discrepancy on 2 fronts.
As a result your TV has to up-scale the source feed (the resolution) for sure. There's no way around that one. So that will add some quality loss. Then it has to deal with the aspect ratio problem. It can either stretch the image horizontally (breaks the aspect ratio, but doesn't add to much more degrading of the image), or it can zoom the image (maintains the aspect ratio so people aren't stretch, but further softens the image). This is just the nature of watching SD content on an HDTV. You will get used to it, everyone does.
The best way to get crystal clear images on your new HDTV is to subscribe to HD broadcast programming and to get a BluRay player for HD movie viewing. Anything that is still PAL (SD) is only going to look so good.
