Skimmed through the thread searching for "Sony" but I've seen no mention of the "U" series Bravias, specifically the KDL-32U2000 (around $1000 here). Apparently it's the budget line. I was just wondering if the brand is worth the money if I could get panels of the same size for $200-300 less by Samsung and co?

 POP QUIZ Does it void Samsung's warranty if you mess in the hidden service menu on an LCD HDTV? Any way to hide the fact that you've changed stuff in it before you ship it off for service? I've been reading some user comments on the set I'm eyeing (LE-32S71B) on another forum and many people were complaining about the default colour setup. (greys too green, skintone too red, etc)

samurai slowdown posted:There aren't any sets on the market that have 100% color accuracy and 99.9% of consumers will be satisfied with the adjustments they can make in the regular user menu. The other .01% are the kind of people that spend all of their time staring at test patterns and will never be happy with anything. I'm afraid I'm one of the latter, and this set only offers a "Cold" a "Normal" and a "Warm" preset for colours.  Thanks both of you for the info, I'll be careful!

riddance posted:I live in California, the fireplace will get minimal use (More of a chixdigit type thing anyways) I'd still be careful about the heat, although I do admit I never had a fireplace myself so I have no idea how much heat actually gets out to up there. Maybe it'll just melt right onto your floor! Or maybe I need to sleep.

.Nathan. posted:Power outages aren't rare and TV companies know this. They wouldn't design a set that suddenly breaks whenever some power anomaly occurs. I don't know about the US, but here in Hungary, if you bitch enough you call pull some money out of the power provider if an electrician can prove that the damage was indeed caused by power outage. edit: A supposedly shortened bulb lifetime probably doesn't fit into this situation though.

Willzilla posted:Is Samsung inflating their contrast ratio when I see sets at 3000:1 and 4000:1 and most other brands only a bit above 1000:1? Yes, they are. They're either using values from their so-called "Dynamic Contrast" which changes picture properties depending on the scene that's being displayed, or just putting in eye-damagingly bright backlighting to bump the numbers up.

Lt. Jebus posted:While its fun to hate on them, Samsung, Sony and Sharp are very clear on their websites as to whether they are stating Dynamic or Static contrast. Hey, nothing wrong with trying to screw the customer into buying something they don't need, it's the essence of marketing.  I'm not hatin', I just bought a 32" Samsung as well.By the way, it's an LE-32R32B. I'm used to smaller desktop LCDs so when my room got dark in the evening, the crappy black levels were kind of shocking, but I doubt I could've gotten any better for $880. Plus after this amount of money spent, you kinda learn to love your purchase.

Cart posted:Laptop's set at 1400x1050, but it seems to re-adjust when the TV is enabled as the primary monitor. It's a fairly new (1 yr old) Dell Inspiron 600m for reference. Follow bull3964's advice. If that resolution isn't listed in the Display Settings, try selecting the secondary monitor as the only output device. I had to do this for my notebook to list 1360x768 as a resolution with my Samsung TV.  Note: It's probably the video card's bug/feature though.
