Also there is sometimes this strange effect in the background where a block of colour sometimes has the appearance of having what I can only describe as layers..like contours of a map
Now has this always been there with c ray tube tellies and its just enhanced with an lcd or is it the broadcast itself. Its not there most of the time
Please reasure me
adjust your contrast and brightness. turn the contrast way down. virtually all televisions, no matter what 'kind' they are, are shipped from the factory with the contrast turned up way too 'hot'. it gives the picture a 'punch' and lots of liveliness when viewed in a showroom with lots of bright lights glaring about (and only a few seconds to capture the customer's attention), but in the home you need much less contrast.
Highly recommend the 'Digital Video Essentials' DVD. you can find it on amazon and elsewhere. has walk-throughs to help you get your TV (and audio) adjusted perfectly.
