I've had my Sony XS955 for a couple of days now..and to honest I'm a little bummed on the quality of the HD signal. Prior to this set I had a JVC 32" AV32S575 where the HD although letterboxed was simply outstanding. The colors seemed much more alive and jumped right out at you.
I tried playing with the color settings a bit and have made some progress but....I did purchase the Avia CD...I looked at it for a bit on the JVC set but didn't really have the time to get to far into it...looked difficult and a lot of stuff to remember. If I invest the time into the Avia should that improve the PQ at all?
Best way I can describe it is the JVC in the letterbox HD gave me a "Holy Smokes, I can reach out and touch what is on TV"(like looking through a window) to the XS955 "Wow, that is a really fabulous pic"(a really good TV pic)...in comparison wheras the JVC was bright and colorful and alive the XS955 seems to be a bit duller pic without as much life to it. Any settings to liven it up?
Another thing I have noticed is that I am noticing a bit of pixelation onscreen of some stuff, especially some hoop games I Have been watching....never noticed that at all of the JVC...does the wider 34" screen show of more errors than the 32"? Also noticed it on other sports like the Gravity Games and some boxing.... My hookup right now is using the component cables that came with the SA8300 but I do have an HDMI cable on the way (Philips TX1000). Should that help in the pixelation issue?
Sorry for all the questions and rants but I'm a little steamed at the HD PQ I'm getting on a set that ran me about 1400 dollars more than the 32" JVC. (599 for a 32" HDTV ...was going to return it but....maybe going in the bedroom)
Ok I'm tired and rambling and not making much sense now so I'm going to bed....any info or advice appreciated :)
