Hello ...
I just bought a Sharp 32" flat tube TV (32U-F500) and I hate it. My biggest issue is that my DirecTV picture now looks terrible. Bright edges are way too harsh and it's now painfully obvious that DirecTV utilizes MPEG-1 technology ... too much blockiness inherent in lower-quality digital video. I'm connecting my satellite receiver directly to the Sharp via s-video (no component out on the receiver) and I've adjusted the contrast, sharpness, brightness, etc. in accordance with THX video setup tests. What should I do? The Sharp is obviously less forgiving with my less-than-videophile standard video sources and I don't wish to upgrade my satellite receiver, DVD player, etc. right now. Should I downgrade my TV to a non-flat tube that will take away the harsh edges? Any input would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!
