I had my Dish VIP622 installed yesterday with my week old KD-36XS955 and I'm having several issues that any help with would be greatly appreciated.
1 - The Standard Def picture looks weird and washed out. I have the TV hooked up via component cables until my HDMI cable is delivered (Dish was too cheap to include one with the receiver) and I hope that the improved input may address some of my concerns.
The SD picture looks like a feed from somebody’s camcorder. HDTV is spectacular and some SD signals are better than others and I know I'm picky but yikes!
The picture is too dark unless it is set to 'vivid'. I have it set to 'neutral' and the picture & brightness settings are maxed out! Color is at 20, sharpness is at 50 and I'm on 'monitor' mode instead of ‘default’.
The picture is set to 1080 and the DRC controls are grayed out.
2 – This next issue is a minor inconvenience but it would seem to be an easy fix. My screen size setting (vertical expand) will not stay after the TV is powered down. It's not a real hassle to reset it after turning the unit back on but you would think that it would remember the previous settings.
Your time, consideration and response is appreciated.
