Official Samsung LN-T4061F/LN-T4065F/LN-T4661F/LN-T4665F/LN-T5265F Owner's Thread - Page 8  

How about the PQ at night or in the dark. How are the blacks? What's this about
overscan, by the way? The PC desktop doesn't look like overscan, in some of the
shots I saw. Are you saying the overscan is via component? If so, that's no big
deal for me, as I hardly will be using that anyhow (DVI from laptop goes to HDMI,
and PS3 is hdmi anyhow). Perhaps I misunderstood though. Incidentally, I thought
you guys knew to use the VGA port for the 360.

Oh well, thanks for all the feedback (even though no one seems to be answering
my questions).

As for PQ at night or dark...all my pictures cept for like 3 were taken in the dark or night. The PQ is great in HD but SD is horrible. Im still to determine if its the set thats producing the horrible SD or my cable box. The blacks are amazing during the day and the night...the wait for my HDMI cables to come is killing me!! Cant wait to use the HDMI Black option.

Well I havn't noticed Overscan myself and havnt tried HDMI yet to try Justscan. Justscan on the 66 does not work in any mode other than HDMI. I hooked up a 360 via component and didnt notice overscan either..Ill post some pics in a bit, you guys know more about this than me, maybe see something I dont.

If u guys are really serious about this over scanning on the component 1080p xbox360
the Xbox "Elite" is coming out shortly with hdmi
Sell you're current 360s and take say an 50-100$ loss and add an extra 50-80 for the new elite with hdmi+120 gb- in black

All that just for 2% of cropping

(I plan to do this anyways cuz I love my Hd-dvd movies even tho Blu is winning I have both and love em both soo much)

Seriously, is the 66 model only 40 inch? No 52? Damn, why the confusion?!?
Hmm, I'm sure the SD sucking is either because you haven't tweaked your settings
for SD yet (probably have it too sharp... turn down that damned artifacting sharpness!)
or, as you said, your feed. GRR!!! I don't think this TV is available in Canada yet
anyhow (not on the Samsung.ca site).

Glad to see you're happy with it though. It should really kick with that HDMI cable.

What graphics card do you have?

I guess they are all glossy. The pics of the 65f's LOOKED flat black. Guess the only difference then between the 65f and the 66f are the speaker location. I like them hidden on the bottom...

Anyone have trouble connecting thier pc to this set via DVI to HDMI?

Anyone using xbox360 to vga? If so how is the pic? Overscan?

Could you assist in these tweaks for SD? I didnt even know I could tweak them or anything about artifacting sharpness!

As of right now I still watch A LOT of SD. I have the full package with my cable company and I get almost 2k channels and only 20 or so are in HD. I can live without the majority of the SD channels but the InDemand channels are all SD and those are some great channels I dont want to miss out on.

I had seen the Samung 4661 a coupe of days ago and tried adjusting the SD through the menu but I could not get SD to display anything that I would call "convenient" for watching. If someone can pull a rabbit out of the hat and get this set to display a close to halfway respectable picture then please let me know your setting and tv configuration. Thanks.

One poster mentioned that he could not get 1080p to work over VGA with his Xbox 360. He didn't mention if he tried other resolutions or not. Anyone else able to check this? It would also be good to know if you have control of the picture settings over VGA.

That is exactly what it is! Spot on! If I position myself right in front of one of the brighter spots (one of the sides) it no longer looks brighter. It has definitely something to do with off axis viewing.

I am a little concerned about that darn xxYCC, does anyone have more info about it? Could another owner enable it and post a pic or something, as I posped earlier the screen goes purple if that thing is on.

i can check tomorrow.... apparantly there is a way to reset video settings on the 360 when a setting isn't working..... if it still doesn't work, then i hope it's a fix microsoft can fix via firmware.

also... i'm dying to test out my dreamcast via vga!

Nothing to be concerned about because the source of the feed is not xxYCC to begin with.

You can watch bd movies with components in hd. I just watched Casino Royale and Crank in hd (1080i as thats my crt's hd standard) and they both looked amazing. I haven't tried hdmi yet but if it looks better, I'll have to give it a shot.

Does anyone have a calibration disk that's able to test out the de-interlace and 3:2 pulldown on the new models?

I'm really interested in this because the 4x95 series failed this test performed at hdguru:
hdguru (dot) com/?p=17

You can't see the screen to try the other resolutions because the TV deosn't support the VGA signal coming from the 360. I tried for an hour yesterday with no luck. Also while playing Tekken 5 PS3 for about 2 hours last night the TV mysteriously blank out and stopped recieving the HDMI signal from the PS3 but came back after I turned it off and on. strange.. This is very similar to what Spicaly is experiencing with his set.

ahh crap... I tried the no sound fix that was mentioned and that kinda worked, I only played one game of madden with no black outs, but then played 2 more with the sound on with no black outs either... Im thinking I'll try to pick up a cheap HTIB with optical in and run the ps3 without HDMI audio output for a week and see how it does. I'm really hoping its not an issue with the TV

Here's a dumb ? so I want to buy like right now after I get out of work today a 4066fa or 4061fa.

BB has the 4066f
CC has the 4061f

besides the contrast difference. and the speakers.
can't make up my mindddddddddddddd.

those the contrast issue really make a big difference in this case.

I like the way the 61f looks but not if the pic quality is better on the 66f.

Dreamcast baby! Oh Yeah! I still have mine as it was by far the coolest system of the last generation. If it looks good with vga, I'll have to hunt one of those cables down when I pick up the 4665f (hurry up Canada).

direct from microsoft.


Xbox 360: How to reset the display settings to the default settings

SUMMARY
This article describes to how to reset the display settings of the Xbox 360 console to the default settings.
MORE INFORMATION
To reset the display settings of the Xbox 360 console to the default settings, follow these steps:1. Remove any discs from the disc tray.
2. Turn the console off.
3. Turn the console on.

Note If you are using an Xbox 360 Wireless Controller, turn the console on by using the Xbox Guide button on the controller. Make sure that you use the player 1 controller when you do this. The player 1 controller will have the upper-left quadrant light illuminated.
4. As the console starts, press and hold the Y button, and then pull the right trigger at the same time.
5. The Xbox Dashboard resets the display settings to the default settings, and then automatically restarts the console

This is my dilemma also. My main concern with the 66F/65F is the "Super Clear" screen that covers the panel. Don't care too much for the speakers since I already have external speakers and a reciever setup

I'm not sure if the added glare is worth the apparent better picture quality? Cost is very similar also, so perhaps it's just a mater of preference?

Apparently the problem we are experiencing is called "blinking" which is common among Sony and Westinghouse sets that can only be fixed by upgrading the TV's firmware. SH!T

yeah nice dilemma to have.

In my area there isn't that much of a diffrence in $$$$.

just who do you realy like to buy from BB or CC.

All the pic I've seen here from the 66/65f or the 61f have been great.

Thanks for all the guy's that have posted pic for us to check out.

Do the new Samsungs handle 1080P24?

nambit said his temp fix was to run the audio from the ps3 through a different method not HDMI.... do you have a way to try that? I was going to buy a HTIB with optical in and try that.... but if you already have a receiver maybe you could try that also

From what I've read I don't think it's audio related:

"Popular Mechanics discovered the problem when we first tested the PS3 and noticed that occasionally the image on the screen of our Westinghouse 1080p test set would blink intermittently and play no sound. After a lengthy investigation last week, we learned that the problem occurred because, for reasons now unknown, the devices were unable to exchange their HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) key, an encryption code which prevents unauthorized recording of an HDTV signal. "

There's been quite a bit of discussion about the set's SD quality, but all of it based on just a couple of anecdotal, general references. Would anyone (spicaly, plastikpyro, Brian Lyle) be so kind as to address their experience with SD quality so far -- including, if possible, as compared to other LCD or Plasma displays? I'm sure many of us would appreciate it. Thanks!

I am kind of curious about how the 480p Wii will look on these new Samsungs.
Could you post a few pictures of the Wii running on your new 61?

I was watching some SD via component last night/// mun2/mtv3res

both looked really good for SD, I was actually pleased and somewhat suprised

I've seen both poor looking SD, and really good (for SD) on the set. goes back to if you feed it crap thats what it'll display.

I've only had a sharp 46d62u to compare to, but I would say its the same if not better.

On a scale of 1-10 for SD content, "10" (best) CRT, "5" (average) PC TV tuner card and "1" (ass) black & white TV with rabbit ears and foil, I would place the Samsung at "6". Not enough digital noise reduction could make it look good.

*make it 6.5 if you're watching in 4:3
