Okay....let me throw out a few disclaimers here before I get stomped for asking....but I've been reading these threads like crazy. I'm at the point that I think I will try to buy a Home Theater for Dummies book for some way to get my brain (stuck on pause) to really understand this stuff. But I could really use some straight talk now....as I'm on the verge of watching my new Kuro. First a few disclaimers...
Confession/Disclaimer #1 -
I really don't understand squat when it comes to pull down, fps, refresh rates, etc, etc.
Confession/Disclaimer #2 -
I'm not sure I believe it's necessary for me to learn these things to enjoy my new set-up....if others will translate this stuff into a language I can understand.
I promise you...if I can understand it...anyone can! I'm tempted to start a new Kuro NE 9G thread for people who just need to know what the heck to do.
My set-up:
TV - PDP6020FD
AVR - Marantz sr7002
Sony PS3
Dish Network VIP722 HD Satellite Receiver.
Can anyone be kind and tell me in simple terms...
What settings should I have when I watch:
1. Satellite and OTA channels. (Dish reportedly has some VOD channels that are delivered at 1080p/24fps)
2. Bluray's
3. PS3 Games
I hate feeling so ignorant but I'm pretty much discouraged after reading hundreds of posts. I think I forget faster than I learn!
Specifically, I'm not so interested in color, contrast, etc...but more interested in what mode....like Movie, Sport, etc...and what Pure Cinema Modes for each application.
I am almost at the end of running the break in images using DNice's settings....and plan to go to his "reference" settings afterwards. Beyond this...I'm kind of confused! Can someone make it simple? Something I can put on an index card and laminate!
Thanks!
PS. I promise I'll never film my tv with a camcorder!
