I shouldn't have done a blind buy after just looking at the models in the store...so now this is what I get.
I am beyond frustrated at my new 22" LG HDTV...and am having a problem that I have seen mentioned by other people at another forum, but still haven't found a solution yet. Namely the problem has to do with the "Intelligent Eye"/power saving function on the TV itself, which can't easily be disabled. What this means is when watching a movie through my HDMI blu-ray player (such as Kubrick's 2001) whenever the picture cuts to something dark (such as a shot of space right before Bowman enters the stargate) the contrast on the television shoots WAY down, so one can barely see anything. It won't return (not even when you adjust the volume) until something bright pops up again (or you press the Menu button).
I found someone online who suggested a fix for this, by hacking into the secret menu and changing "factory setting" to "ON", which I tried but still did not erase the problem. If anyone else has this problem and any suggestions for it, I would welcome the help...I called LG tech support and predictably they didn't have any ideas.
In the event I'm forced to take the television back and exchange it...can anyone recommend a good 22" HDTV model that will work with watching Blu-Ray movies via HDMI?
