Grainy Sharpness Problem.
 

Hi

Have a Pansonic 32" Widescreen TV.
Apologise i don't have the model as i am working.
This has all the usual display controls such as contract and brightness etc.

Also recently got an AMW P80L.
This also has controls such as Gamma'Hue'Saturation etc.

The problem is that on Dark Scenes in movies there is a slight graininess.I bought Gold Plated Scart Leads'but has'nt made a difference.

I can remove this by changing the sharpness on the TV'but at the expense of detail and the picture looks blurry.
The sharpness on the Player itself has a Low''Medium and High setting'but i don't notice much difference.


Is there any other way to fix this using other display settings such as Contrast'Brightness etc?

Thanx

What are you watching?

Dark scenes in film will have graininess just due to the physics of film chemistry and the amount of light available. Your set may be accurately displaying that. And sometimes movies are filmed with the intent of showing some graininess.

You really need to adjust your contrast/brightness/sharpness with a calibration disc such as Avia. You'd be surprised how far down you have to turn sharpness to get the most accurate and detailed picture.

Where do i get a disc like this?

Thanx

Use the price search boxes at the top of this page.

Avia is fairly expensive but I really like it. There are also Digital Video Essentials and Sound & Vision's Home Theater Tune-Up which are less expensive.

Sharpness on the DVD player? Me personally, I'd guess it out to be either 'low' or 'off' if that's an option.

Buy an Avia DVD and tune your picture. The link I've posted is for the lowest price you can get right now. Follow-up with a post if that doesn't fix it.
