LCD TV - best Picture?

Just got hold of a 32" LCD TV, made by frontline, aint expensive but does use an LG screen.

I have Sky Digital but not plus or HD.

The TV is HD ready though and has DVi/VGA, RGB, UHF and 2 x scart lead inputs.

My Media PC uses the DVi in while the SKY box goes through an auto scart switch (Gold Scart leads) to the TV.

I had to use the Powered auto scart switch as i have these to connect:

Sky, DVD Player, Video to connect to. I alsod had the PS2 plugged into it to but now moved this onto another TV for my son to use.

I have an old Kenwood MIDI hi-fi with built in Dolby surround which is fed stereo Audio from the scart switch and to my 5.1 surround speakers.

All i want to do is get the best TV picture. there is a Deinterlacer option on the TV settings but dont know enough about it to set it right?

are there any suggestions out there on improvements? Could any of the scart signals clash and ruin the picture?

even though the picture is nice n bright, colours are crisp and great but you still see that MPG compression on non moving objects

chees guys!

Si, I don't know anything about the subject at hand, but that picture next to ur name is makin me feel dizzy, crosseyed and trippy all at the same time. and i'm straight just now!!

Have you tried going from your Sky box direct into your TV? Just to check the quality, rather than looping through something else.

The MPEG2 compresion blocking could just be Sky. They broadcast at pretty low bitrates.

 

cheers,

I originally done this and no, it wasnt any better. I knew LCD wasnt going to as good as my Panasonic CRT but i did expect better.

The DVD playback is great, im getting used to the slight 'digital' lag.....sometimes though, blond hair looks a little green?

I think your right with SKY boradcasting crap pictures...I done a search and looks like im not the only one! and these people have a lot more expensive TV than me!

I get a great picture from the DVi input from my PC....great when on Call of duty 2!!!

Glad i didnt go for Plasma though! http://www.flattvpeople.com/tutorials/lcd-vs-plasma.asp

I was going to run everything from a PC using Windows Media XP edition but not sure if that was a good idea? especially having to boot a Pc everytime i want to watch TV!?

I would also need a decent dual TV card (DVB no good as i dont see Llani getting Digital TV anytime before 3000AD!) and will still need a SKY box. Our analog signal is trash even though im in direct view of the TV transmitter!!

So, i was going to setup another Skybox with a Freeview card and a dual LNB so i can at least view one channel while recording another. I have seen these Satillite PCI or USB cards but dont know if you can insert a viewing card?? and if they are worth the cost? I have a TV card and the TV recording is SHITE!

so, i think the best is Two Digiboxes/Dish/Dual LNB, PC TV card with Scart/Svideo input? a seperate DVD recorder with 160gb HD? & DVD player.

I also need to dump thw Kenwood Hi-fi for a 5.1 surround processor with Sub (I dont have a sub yet) ?

Any ideas or suggestions?

Cheers!

are you running everything at same/correct resolution? 720p or 1080i ? what's your sky box set to?
