Hi have just bought a new Philips 26 inch LCD digital TV which on the
whole I have very pleased with, however, I have noticed that the picture
quality isn't as sharp as my old CRT TV, with picture blurring at times?
Almost like watching a video from Real Player? Is there anything I can do
about this in the setup, or does everyone have the same problem? Any good
advice would be much appreciated. Would going to Sky HD improve this
issue?



Thanks,



Tim.


LCD is rubbish compared to CRT, shame you didn't read posts in this group or
look at it before you bought it! I hope you were not conned in to buying an
extended warranty from the purchase date as the TV is covered for 12months.
Wait until you see a tennis or football game. I'm buying one of the
SED/OLED types when everyone has bought the stockpiled LCDs up and shops
stock them.

Do you really believe that SED/OLED technology is likely to be here
soon, and at an affordable price?

The OLED stuff, Sony do seem to have released the odd model in Japan,
but you still have the problem that these don't have a very long
lifespan do they? Also because LCD's are now low in price and being
mass produced it seems as if we are going to be stuck with these
"inferior?" televisions for some time?

As far as SED televisions are concerned this technology seems to have
been in development for over 2 decades yet nothing has so far come of
it. They were supposed to start producing these a few years ago but
keep missing the deadlines and setting new ones (due to the court case
going on?). It doesn't look likely we are going to see SED televisions
for sometime if at all? This technology may never make it to mass
market the way things are going for Canon with the litigation. It may
only end up being used professionally?
