Hi, I have a question, not sure if this is the right place to post.
Basically when I hook up my pc with VGA cable D-sub to my LG scarlet on full hd, it work fine. Problem start when i hook up HDMI, the picture quality drop drastically. Even if i do a pixel to pixel (just scan in LG), it's still look very bad. It seem like certain detail or color is missing and it's not sharp at all.

I tried my notebook it has the same result. The HDMI cable is working fine i suppose, cause when i hook up with my monitor, it seem normal.

Could it be a defect?

It's a 42LG60FR. I tried taking picture, it the photo couldn't tell the different. I suspect it's a color depth issue. The HDMI output seem like a 16 bit color.. I just swap another HDMI cable, the result is the same. The chances of me getting a defect LCD screen it's quite possible. Really tough luck, i dun really feel like sending it for repair right after the 3rd day of my purchase.

Did try the DVD with hdmi output. But since the resolution is so bad, i cant really tell the different.

I'm quite sure it has something to do with color depth. It's output 16bit or below.

I actually went to another shop to test the same model, guess what, it has the same result! Really need some help, i've been browsing around, dun seem to find any solution.

Possible problem:
1. LG HDMI 1.3 deep color got problem(very unlikely).
2. Both of my PC and notebook could not output HDMI signal correctly.

Anyone has the same experience?

welwitchia,

I tried 720p, it's the same also. I tried taking picture, but from the photo, cant really tell. sad.gif imaging seeing a 32bit picture in 16bit display. That's wat u get.
