thanks so much Guy, great post. i dont quite understand all of it, but i'll take it line by line haha. thanks

I'm really getting frustrated: I set my TV to AV Pro rather than Living Room, which is slightly brighter, because I could not see the bars in the black for the black level test before no matter how far up or down I set it. However, now when I set my white level I can't see the bars no matter how...

Is my TV a CRT television? (Sony KE-42TS2 Plasma display)

AH! Now that it's on AV Pro level, I can't see the white bar moving when I adjust the white level, i.e. it won't become dark enough. What's wrong? Thanks

I just fixed it, I had it on "living room" setting, I switched it to AV Pro. I guess AV Pro is for people calibrating their screens?

I just got the Avia Guide to Home Theater disk and I am adjusting the black level. On the black level test, it says I should set it so I see one of the two moving bars on the black part of the screen, which I do during the demo. However, when I do the actual test myself, I cannot see any black...

Matt, I have a Sony too. You don't mind having part of the top and bottom being cut off in WideZoom?

Chuck, does this mode allow you to see the whole picture, such as a CNN bottom line?

Mike, do you mean you watch almost everything in 16:9?

anyone know about black bars burning in? thanks

4:3 obviously doesn't let you utilize the whole screen, but I think the picture is clearer. Widescreen lets you take advantage of the whole screen but the screen becomes distorted. For regular TV, what do you use? Thanks

I was wondering what you guys consider to be the best calibration disk. It seems that the Avia is a good one, but the IGN DVD editor said that Digital Video Essentials (the newest one) far surpasses the outdated Avia one. What do you think? Thanks

another question: if i decide to watch in normal mode (with black bars on the side) do i run of the risk of burn-in? thanks

sorry for the 3 posts, when i could have used one...but i just remembered another question: how significant of a difference will a quality cable like monster make? thanks

thanks a lot lew.

my program source would be digital cable right?

maybe it's not pixilated...maybe grainy would be a better word to describe it. i'm not entirely sure i understand the difference. if it is in fact grainy, can i fix this or minimize it?

I recently purchased the Sony KE-42TS2 Plasma TV...and I have a few questions. 1. The image is pixilated from even 6 or so feet away, moreso when it's in widescreen mode, which is predictable. I am using the cables that came with the TV and it is a regular program, not HD. Why is it somewhat...
