Zilch Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I'm still not particularly happy with the picture on my LA46F71BX. I have tried calibrating it, but I did it at night, and the pictures seemed way to dark during the day after that, so I had to crank the contrast again. This is via Component.... What are other people doing? Using the default settings? Is anyone willing to post their customer settings if they have calibrated theirs? Thanks, Zilch.

Vienna Coup Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Looking for a good money for value dvd player working with the Samsung F Series, upscaling or otherwise. Anyone have a good experience or suggestion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anguang Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 (edited) Hey Guys, I have been eyeing this LCD tv for few months now and with the price you guys are saying $2900 for 40 inch? I will definately be getting one hopefully this weekend. Before i go out and get this tv, can anyone tell me how would the quality with a VCR? my wife watch alot of tapes (dont ask why). secondly there is NO inbuilt Hd tuner? So will I need to get a seperate box if i want HD? seems little stupid for samsung not including them. Lastly i have a very basic Pioneer DVD player, can someone confirm the quality will be as good as my current LG Flatron CRT TV? Oh also am i able to get good enough quality if i watch DIVX, AVI stuff that i got off the internet? THanks for your help all Edited January 23, 2007 by anguang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwo Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 What price are people paying for the 40" in WA? The best I have seen was $3500 at JB cannington, I wasn't serious about buying it that day so I didn't bother haggling. Is anyone got it close to $3k like over east, that's my limit?

Redav Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 (edited) my wife watch alot of tapes (dont ask why). Oh, I'll ask why My brother-in-law seems obsessed with taping stuff then watching some of it. He tapes heaps of stuff but never watches all of it and half of it is just stuff that's pointless to tape. There's tapes all throughout their house. Drives my sister up the wall. She reckons that she needs to get a HDD recorder but I reckon he'll just fill it in no time Edited January 23, 2007 by Redav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zilch Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Hey Guys,I have been eyeing this LCD tv for few months now and with the price you guys are saying $2900 for 40 inch? I will definately be getting one hopefully this weekend. Before i go out and get this tv, can anyone tell me how would the quality with a VCR? my wife watch alot of tapes (dont ask why). The quality of VCR tapes generally sucks. Getting a new TV won't fix that. If it sucks on a small CRT, it will really suck on a large high-def flat screen. secondly there is NO inbuilt Hd tuner? So will I need to get a seperate box if i want HD? seems little stupid for samsung not including them. Built in tuners suck in general, esp if you want a a home theatre setup. I'm annoyed that I had to pay for a crappy analogue tuner that will be useless in a few years. Get a HD STB. Lastly i have a very basic Pioneer DVD player, can someone confirm the quality will be as good as my current LG Flatron CRT TV? I can't confirm that. I have no idea what your LG CTR looks like or what size it is. My Pioneer DVD player sucks in general (it's a few years old). The DVD quality was a bit disappointing on mine when I first tried it (via component). Don't expect it to look like BlueRay which is probably playing in the store. On refelection it's probably not that bad. Oh also am i able to get good enough quality if i watch DIVX, AVI stuff that i got off the internet? I have no idea what you mean by "good enough". I watch DIVX and AVIs all the time from my XBox with no complaints. Just remember if you get a high def large screen you will see the artefacts and other quality issues much more than you could on your old CRT. Zilch.

tonehenge Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Hi guys, That is AWESOME news about the firmware coming soon. I just hope it's not bullshit as I know the avsforum people in the US have been waiting for ages and still nothing. Good to hear there is an Aussie Samsung tech saying it's on it's way though.. Fingers crossed. So what sort of cable will you need to apply the update? Does the cable come with the tv when you buy it? Would applying the UK firmware from the second to last post here work on our tv's? =) http://www.thedvdforums.com/forums/showthr...5836&page=3 I'm just happy I can finally pull the trigger on this beast. Was contemplating plasma, but for a htpc and a bit of gaming here and there I think lcd is the way. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
