| Bodhesatva said: The picture quality of my new Samsung 50'' TV is amazing, and now I have a few questions for it. First and foremost, what do I need to do to make sure the TV stays as quality a possible for as long as possible? I've heard a lot of different things. I'm noticing a lot of "ghost" images in this first week with it, but they go away quickly and seem normal to me. Simple example: I play a game with a life bar (like SMG) and for maybe an hour after playing I can see the outline of the health pie wheel if I get up close to the TV and squint. This is normal, right? If not, don't be afraid to tell me, as I'm still very much under warranty. Safety measures: I've heard people tell me to pull the contrast and brightness down to start with, until the tv is "broken in." I've been told to leave it on for long periods if I can. I was told to let the TV warm up inside before actually turning it on for the first time (which I did). Are any of this true? There's a lot of infor and I assume only some of it is correct. Help me sort through it, please! |
Plasma TV's tend to have a small break in period. The best item is to turn the backlight down a little(about 50% should be fine) for a week or two after that point it should be fine. Personally I keep my samsung LCD backlight on 6/10 with medium energy saving settings. It makes the picture dimmer but thats fine in my bright bedroom. I'd love to help you more but I'm not sure about what TV make you have. If you PM me the info perhaps I can run down some things you can do in greater detail to fine tune your image.

Newer LCD monitors/screens have no break in period. Plasmas have a small break in period last I checked.
