Re: 720p vs 1080i

Hi Abe,
I now understand why you are getting the PQ that you are from the 5900. I believe that it is your setting on the XBR TV. I've found that the saturation is set too high and, more importantly, that the "red push" is too overwhelming on the "Movie" setting. If you look carefully, you might notice that everything looks to be too "red." Facial complexions also seem to be unnatural...at least to my eyes.

After playing around with my XBR and calibrating with Avia, I've found that the "Pro" setting seems to be the most neutral. The only settings that were slightly changed were the Brightness (depending on the lighting in your room) and Sharpness (down a few notches). You may want to try this factory setting and see how it looks to you. I would also recommend keeping this setting for at least a few days to a week, because it will take some time getting used to. At first, the picture may seem a little dark and soft, but you will also see more details, edge definition, and more natural colors.

Ken
