QUOTE(jasjas @ Feb 5 2008, 07:20 AM)  LOL then u will have a bigger problem and regret when u purchased the LCD then, u might have to stick back with crt - Since u mentioned monster cable, most probably u purchased from harvey norman, but which outlet u have purchased from, u might wan to get some help from someone may concern? And afterall have u done any setting and colour adjustment, for ur most watchable and favor of all time channel in astro? And remember to off all the Mpeg-NR or something to do with NR stuff (NR = noise reduction)  bought for rm5k.... yeah.. quite expensive.. but that was a month ago... n with interest free 12 months... comes along with free monster cleaning kit.... free pioneer hdmi cable along with the tv... i also bought the monster s-video cable n pioneer dvd player... both i got for very very SPECIAL price.... hehe  but then again... on astro, nothing beats the CRT la... my dad complaining to me alrd cos the CRT cheaper but clearer for astro... i also got nothing to say cos i promise him that plasma plays astro nicely.... so.... again... i would say that buying monster s-video cable does help compared to normal s-video cable.. but then.... not worth the price cos no matter wat.... it will not be as clear as CRT.... i contacted harvey norman alrd... they asked me to return the s-video cable n they will give me a new one... (excellent service-worth paying extra for sometimes)... n if the problem still persist, they will come to the house n check for me... thanks for the tip jasjas, i will try with the NR thing... see how it goes...  |

QUOTE(poyo @ Feb 6 2008, 06:14 PM) Wacko, where did you purchase your Sharp LCD? How much, cash or CC? What about warranty? I don't know much, but what I read here for Astro, try to use S - Video cable for better picture. i seriously didnt know about this... n i just checked my signal n i only got a 65!!!!!!!!!!!!!Maybe you can ask you Astro installer to retune the dish, and get the reading ( sorry I forgot what it is called, it's the graph that shows signal strength ) to above 90. What a friend of mine who works at Astro told me, normally most installers only try to get between 70 - 78 signal strength only ( my personal experience, saw three installers, and they all do the same, the most I've seen is 78 ), which is barely enough to get the best reception. He also recommended me to look for an Astro installer who can align the dish so that the reception strength is at least 85, if can get more than that, much better, especially during windy days ( a problem for high - rise homes ) and rain. Have you tried to tune the LCD tv yourself? Check this link out : Cnet Asia LCD TV Tuning Tips and try it out. Don't forget to "tune" the room where the LCD tv is placed, like lighting, shades for the windows ( if any ) etc. stupid astro ppl... so lazy... so wat do i do now? can i call them n tell them i am not satisfied with the reception? they will send their men to check on my house for free rite? all this while i was thinking it was my tv sommo.... u sure the signal plays an important role in terms of the quality of the broadcast?? |
