it was recently reccomended in sound & vision that on the 16x9 55807 mitsubishi you should have the scan-velocity modulation disabled. what is it, what does it do, and what are the benefits of disabling it?.

SVM is a method of "thickening" black borders of objects in the image to make the picture appear sharper. It really only distorts the picture and should always be turned off for truer reproduction. Unless you like it that way of course.

Turn that $hit off, it screws up your picture.

How do you get to the service menu on a mitsu..55" 16x9?

I turn mine off for DVD's and leave it on for most things on cable and most video games.

I have the same TV and am wondering the same thing, so... ^

found this site hometheaterspot.com and it has a forum on mitsubishi hdtvs.....it's pretty involved (a little too much for me at this point) but has TONS of advice on how to make our sets kick a$$!!!!

Wow...thanks for the link. If anyone has any questions whatsoever about HDTV's this is the place to go. I went there to look for one thing and nearly 2 hours later feel my head overflowing with info. Thanks mr. longshanks.
