To be honest though I might want to change my Blu Ray player to output at 720 I think. You see this Samsung TV has a resolution of 1024x768. Meh. I am kinda holding out for getting a better TV in the future anyway!
Hello, all!
I joined this site just for this forum, I was interested and have some help I can offer those with this model of TV. I am totally new to this, I've done some reading on it for a while now online and it was all over trying to get the best picture quality possible. But more-so, when I watch a film, I want to know I am looking at and hearing exactly what the director intended me to!
I also own an LG BD550 Blu ray player. I bought the "Spears & Munsil: High Definition Benchmark Blu Ray Edition". The picture looks superb.
Okay, so I couldn't find the quick fix before I bought this disc and I wish I could have. Hey, I'm lazy, what can I say? BUT what I can do, is post all of the settings I managed to get at the finish line! So without further adieu:
