"The "16:9 mode with vertical compression" on the 2001 models only works with a 1080i source (HDTV) not 480i or 480p. This year's models are supposed to upconvert 480i and 480p sources to 540p, which will then play in the 16:9 mode (this still has to be confirmed though)." Sorry for bring...

Hmm.. but I don't think my Sony RPTV has uneven brightness problem...

I am pretty sure about the Avia black level setting. I'm using Pioneer 535k dvd player. But I don't think it’s the dvd playback problem solely because the cable programmes too display a lack of detail for dark scene or object. [Edited last by Tam Jen Yee on August 03, 2001 at 01:04 PM]

That means there is nothing wrong with the bright level setting... is anyone out there able to resolve the undefined black muddy problem?

What is uneven brightness?

It doesn't seems to be a bright level problem... there are simply NO or very little details in the shadow or dark background.

I got exactly the same darkness problem like your friend with my Sony RPTV. Did your friend manage to fix his TV darkness problem? I used Avia to calibrate but the problem persists. I even up the brightness but it didn't make much difference. Is it because the TV is faulty in the first place?

In the DVD when they labelled "Enhanced for 16x9 widescreen version", is it the same like the DVD that labelled as "Anamorphic Widescreen"?

What do vertical compression really do to a 4:3 TV? What is the difference from watching a DVD in letterbox mode and vertical compression mode? Pls enlighten me. Thanks.

Thanks :)

Thanks for the advice guys. I am supposed to get my Thomson 44" 2 months ago! But till now, the dealer told me the shipment is to be delayed and they couldn't give me a definite delivery date! I did call Thomson HQ in Spore. The sales person told me its true that the 44" TV has no more...

What is the nearest distance we can view from a 50" 4:3 RPTV without seeing the imperfection?

Which of the following TV you think is the best? 1. Samsung SP54J8HF 54" RPTVhttp://www.samsung.com.sg/tv/tantus...s/sp54j8hf.html [Edited last by Tam Jen Yee on July 23, 2001 at 11:10 AM]

There are some discussion over here :- http://www.hometheaterforum.com/uub/...ML/007274.html

Cool to hear from you guys :) I'm still waiting for my TV to come Cheers, Jen Yee

Funny thing, didn't hear any comments from Martin and Tomas for so long :p

Boy... sounds discouraging, seems like the TV screen is so reflective to light, make day watching not desirable. But thanks for your analysis. I will let you know once my TV arrive. :)

Hi Yue-Keen, I'm also bought the 44" Thomson from Thong Sheng at Bt Merah. But according to them the shipment is delayed till next month 15/07/01. Where you bought the TV from? So fortunate can get it so soon. Let me know your opinion on the TV when you get it. :) Regards, Jen Yee
