Just bought a new 240hz 55" edge lit LED/LCD TV.
Still calibrating it and dialing it in.
ran RGB cables and seperate RCA audio cables at first, as that's all I had on hand. (had a Blu Ray player and HDMI but couldn't find an extra HDMI for a DishNetwork cable signal source).
RGB cables and calibration settings from different forums on the web give an awesome sharp picture dialed/tweeked in.
I hooked up some "cheap" ebay HDMI cables (I wasn't going to spring $40 for 3 foot cables) , and the picture is MUCH LESS CRISP and colors washed out. I re-calibrated the TV same HDMI verses RGB signal input sources, yet the HDMI sucks compared to RGB.
thoughts/comments?
Cabling, RGB verses HDMI. I'm not wall mounted so I don't care that 5 cables verses 1/4" HDMI feed up the back.
Same source, a HDTV Dishnetwork receiver, but RGB verses HDMI. Totally major picture quality difference. Does Cabling make "that" much a difference? Other than ohm Resistance to analog cables, a signal is a signal, HDMI or RGB.
this TV at Costco ROCKS for $1600. I Replaced a high end Samsung 46" for this 55" inch.
