i tweak my astro as well, heck, i tweak almost every AV input

Bah....

When I tested my ps3 on the new bravia s310a...the PQ was horrible...have to tweak it then only it looked superbly nice (for my peasant eyes that is). Don't know when people at SengQ never bother to properly calibrate the settings to show the tv full potential.

So...I just can't stand not tweaking stuff....especially stuff concerning AV things...

hehe coz it is our hard earned money , we tend to push things to the fullest .
Unlike my fren bought bravia X to watch Astro coz they salesmen in HSL said it will look a lot better than his plasma coz full HD

synco, some fren u have there

lapaq, so u got it aredi? is the PQ tat bad?

LOL astro in full HD....
But Bravia X was actually pretty nice also when watching astro.(Maybe better with S-video cable but i lazy to get one)
But buy it just for astro is just.....

The PQ was horibble because the tweak the sharpness all the way up...that makes all the jaggies look like king kong's butt. anyway I toned down the sharpness to a more acceptable level and the change the picture settings from vivid to custom (vivid make the colour and contrast unnatural, GT5 prologue looked so bad I almost puked at the shop) which makes the pic so beautiful that I've recovered my confidence in SONY again.

In the end it all looked superbly nice...though I wish I can tweak it from the start as they oly found the remote in the last 10 minutes or so...

p/s: still have decide to buy or not..waitng till the end of this week to decide...most prob will buy.

U sure u got that right arr? I'm using the KLV40-V300A and I find that full wide mode give the best picture. Other options will make the picture look stretched. This can be seen by the channel logo on the top right hand corner in Astro. On Full wide mode everything looks normal to me.

my astro settings all sharpness reduce to 0

And reduce the backlight to a minimal value if not zero

i reduce to below half, contrast also reduce

That is what I think.....Dunno what the people at the shops are thingking when they set the TV up for display....

And to top it all of..the staff there...so young..keep telling me this and that..as if they are super duper knowledgeable about HDTV...setting TV pun tak betul...

lapaq, get used to it, but i do come accross some really helpfuls one and have some general knowledge on HD as well as HD display

from what i understand
the lcd tv that are on display most of them are using football rite.
and some sources says that the football is pre-recorded from satelite tv.
and those satelite tv/cable tv has much better quality compare to astro.
again correct me if i am wrong.
sometimes sources are bull as well.
