tested astro on sharp, still crap

btw, i heard somebody say, using philips pixel 1 or 0, then reduce the sharpness to 0, the image will be clear wor... he say like macam astro HD like tat

Sure bor? Need to go to verify with my own experience first

For all Standard Def material, its always better to reduce the sharpness.

astro is way below standard def
VCD quality

Maybe Lord_ashe can give some feedback regarding that?

I'm on a Samsung and my notebook's (thinkpad) able to output at 1360x768. Just make you sure you plug the cable in before adjusting the resolution. If the TV's not connected, it will only show the standard PC LCD resolutions.

Erm, 1024X768 is not native u know. There must be some settings that u missed.

aiyo, dun compare with CRT la .I'm talking about astro PQ AMONG LCD TV.Even chapalang china brand RM 500 29 inch crt tv can easily beat lcd on astro PQ.But the cool factor of lcd tv easily makes u forget about PQ .

p/s : kaiserreich,just get the damn lcd tv...beri2 syiok!

aiyah.... i knoe wats the different btwn CRT and LCD lar

the fella is using a 40 or 42 incher LCD by phillips

Generally that's true. To be able to watch acceptable Astro on my LCD I've had to reduce the sharpness and also use the pan and scan mode. The same goes for DVDs too.

Pixel plus does help but it only shows the most effect on Pixel Plus2 and above (like my CRT)

my Sharp Aquos G7 has no problem to display 1920x1080 (1080p) on dot by dot setting for both of my PC (with Nvidia 7800GT) and Xbox 360 through its DVI-I input for both digital and analog connection....

Most people don't fancy the black bars at the side eh? I rather have that then watching anything in stretch mode.

Hmmm....at first, i had that kind of impression too..but when i tested the panorama setting (intelligent stretching technology by Sharp), i was full of surprise and never intend to go back to the initial setting......

Agreed ! People look better in this mode compared with other brand (e.g samsung) which make the people look fatter


p/s : can't watch astro with black bars on the sides, make my eyes hurt

Hahaha since u mentioned it, just now while watching TV3 news on my Sharp lcd tv, I had to switch between Panorama tu Full and back coz I wasn't sure if our PM got fatter or due to my wide screen setting. Man has he bloated since taking office!

does all 16:9 lcd has panaroma settings?

cos i seen sharp one, very nice, looks like ori 16:9

Maybe it's exclusive to Sharp. I know I still have to watch Astro on 4:3 on my Philips - but then again it doesn't really bother me.

i only got CRT to watch on but anyway, my CRT maybe has the same reults of those of LCD, also blurry, cso mines a slim fit

Ooo. I remember watching a slimfit when I was in a hotel once. It wasn't too bad actually for a widescreen CRT.

minesnot a widescreen, its a 4:3 29 incher
