Guest guest Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Hi Marc, I am using a cable box. So you are saying that if I change the type of cable feeding the tv from the cable box that might have a difference? What about any type of filter?  Loni From: Marc <marc@...> Subject: Re: Re: New TV Advice? Svetaswan Date: Thursday, July 7, 2011, 10:45 AM  > Thank you for this thorough recommendation Svetaswan. I turned the backlight up. I always turn the backlight DOWN for LCD TV's that have a florescent backlight. That always makes me feel better. But you've got an LED backlight, so I don't have any experience with that. What about the signal source? Are you using a cable box? DVD/Bluray? off-the-air antenna? If you are using a cable box or DVD/Bluray, you can experiment with the types of cables used to feed the signal (component vs. HDMI) and the resolution of those signals (720p, 1080i, 1080p). I find 720p/1080i input signals are easier to tolerate than 1080p, but don't notice any difference between component/HDMI cables.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 > What do you think about placing thick foil barrier between wall and back of tv? Would that block anything? Seems like that would reflect the EMF from the back of the TV towards the viewer, making your problems worse? Or are you worried about being in a room on the other side of the wall? Personally, I find barriers to often just make problems worse... Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible (although I don't know how likely) that using a different kind of cable between your cable box and your TV (component vs. HDMI) might make a difference. It's also possible that changing the output signal from your cable box from 1080i to 720p might make a difference (I don't believe cable boxes can output 1080p, but if yours does, then try changing that to 1080i or 720p and see if it makes a difference). Filter? You mean for the cables? Or in front of the screen? Ultimately, it sounds like this a TV problem, since I don't think you had this problem with your previous TV. Can you return it or exchange it for a different TV? Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
