    SVM = Contrast+ ?

    I'd like to know if Contrast+ is just philips way of naming Scan Velocity Modulation. I really like to know if these to names are really the synonymous. Here's a description of SVM by our own Jack Briggs

    thanks guys, great info oh and jeff the only reason I'm getting it at best buy is because of my friend's employee discount there which we'll find out today how much is taken off the 49 dollar retail prices (she pays 5% over what best buy pays to get it)

    Is Avia all it's cracked up to be?

For one the disc had no clear cute way of telling me if was setting my contrast right since I never saw the change they told me to look...

    new here and would like some help with new tv

    I guess I just noticied it with cable programming since my primary use of this televsion is to watch movies via dvd using component. The tint control is there as long as I'm using cable or have the dvd player connected via composite rca cable. So that pretty much solves that, still I'd like to...

    thank you for the prompt reply I'll go for avia and if the new VE comes out b4 I make my purchase then so be it. I checked with normal cable, rca, and s-video and no it seems my tv is without a tint control, very weird indeed. About the contrast+ is that something I should leave on or off...
