scan velocity modulation (1 Viewer)

[NeonWayne]

I just bought a Best Buy ws-a48. I come here only to find that the best buy version is a stripped down version that means you can't turn off the scan velocity modulation. I would like to more about scan velocity modulation. I read what it is, and I've read that a "properly tuned TV should turn it off" but I don't understand why.

Could someone fill me in on how bad of a decision I've made. This is my first TV purchase (larger then 21")and I'd like to know if I should keep this or cancel my order before they deliver it on Monday.....

Here's an example with SVM on and off. Look at the Toy Story 2 Before and After. There is a black outline around everything.

I'm almost possitive you can still turn SVM off via the Service Menu.

This was the initial post I saw:

undefeatable SVM

but I also see it mentioned here

Are you sure you can still turn it off from the service menu... it does look annoying and I'd hate to spend almost 2K on something I won't be entirely happy with.

I didn't take the time to look using the video button to find the VM sharpness on/off. I did enter in the service menu back in the day and did see the control to turn it off there.

I'm sure there are plenty of Bestbuy tv buyers here that can chime in, if it is available in the user video adjustments like the "normal" models.

If you are way worried, cancel your order and buy it from somewhere else.
