Hey all...
I have just purchased my very first component that I would consider home theater, a Toshiba 46H83. Along with it, I got a Sony DVPNS425P DVD player. I have had it a few days now, and tried the component (or is it composite, the RGB?) and I think the picture quality is great. I'm sure they aren't the best cables, as I'm using the ones that came with the Xbox HD pack. I have ordered the DVE disc, and just waiting for it to come in. Professional calibration is out of the question at this point in time. I have a few questions (for now).
1. Would I really see a difference using better quality RGB cables? If so, what brand(s) do you recommend? I would like to not spend a ton on them.
2. I am watching the widescreen version of Finding Nemo, and have noticed a "glow" of sorts, around the characters. It's more prominent in the brighter characters, such as Dory and Marlin. What is this, and how can I correct it?
3. Perhaps this goes along with question 2, but what settings should I have on the TV and the DVD player to get the best possible picture quality? I've setup the DVD player to 16:9, and I have the progressive scan on, currently.
Guys, I would really appreciate any and all input. As I am new to this, please forgive my ignorance. Thank you so much!
