Resolutions with my Samsung 2253BW

I'm no TV expert, but it sounds like your brother needs an optometrist? How can he not see the same cruddy picture you're seeing?

We got our hdtv when LCD's weren't quite mature enough to get an expensive one and plasma screens were still outragiously expensive. We paid about the same amount for a 37" Sony WEGA, but it's a tube, not an LCD, so we don't suffer any of those problems, but I would imagine that bleeding is an issue specific to LCD's; it doesn't matter whether they're tv's or monitors, the panels are the same.

I'd suggest fiddling around with the controls a bit? Learn how to change the aspect ratio, set it for wide and normal screen... learn the ways to watch the different formats best. We just keep ours on widescreen, and that seems to work out perfectly whether we're watching DVDs or cable. If you're not able to clear that up, have them replace it... or better yet get your money back... for $2k you can do much better than LG these days.

**edit**

btw, about that catapult of yours. I'm ok with you slingin rocks and cows at me... just make sure you don't load it up with spaghetti.

Oh it will be Flaming Cows.. They'll be dosed and lit on Fire. So enjoy that. Then the Crud comes next.

Ya the TV is already set to widescreen, and all that. and I agree 2k was to much. a week later it went on sale for $1,550 so he went back and they gave him a little over 400 in cash back. that was pretty cool. but still 1500 for a tv with that much problems. I have it set on widescreen, and movies still have the bars on the top and bottom, but thats I think cuz we weren't watching a widescreen DVD. but regular channels have the bars on the left and right, and some HD channels have them to. but most don't. It's a great picture. with great great colors. but that much Bleed and Ghosting is not acceptable. I would have returned it already. but he's stuborn. We'll see.

Thanks!
