I always wondered about this feature and what exactly is it all about, what I am supposed to be looking to change if I use this feature?. Do people actually use this feature on their HDTVs?, or do most turn it off?.

Used on cable and satellite viewing for noisy lower quality signals.

Calibrators tend to leave it off ... and say the source is the source. You can't rescue VHS quality sometime no matter how much NR you do to it. :)

Thanks for the reply

So that feature is basically beneficial for when watching SD channels on a HDTV?

but does that in return hurt the quality of the HDTV channels, or it doesn't affect it at all?

It has a softening effect on the image when left on. May smear fine detail ...

Sort of like degrading all the best looking stuff so that the worst looking stuff looks a wee wee bit better. That's just plain wrong thinking though!!! :D

Kinda like airbrushing in magazines. I hope they keep the magazine DNR feature on though.

Count it in the box of Sales & Marketing Tools:

-DNIE
-Auto Black Level
-Auto Contrast
-Skin-tone correction
-Digital NR
.............

(this list is far & away incomplete!)

The 'fresh' series of LG too!

Fresh color, fresh contrast and there was another one I forgot its name...
