I really feel fortunate after reading a lot of these posts. I thought my cable signal was average at best, it is just basic Comcast cable, but it looks really good to great on my GWII 50".
I watch it in 'Standard' mode with the color temp set at 'Neutral'. The tweaks in 'pro' mode actually made it a tad too dark and grainy. Interesting. The hockey games last night were great looking. I even watch my SD in 'Wide Zoom' and the PQ was way more than acceptable.
I would be REALLY surprised if my basic cable signal was THAT much better than everyone else's, but I guess it has to be, especially when UMR's tweaks actually make it slightly worse (again, PLEASE take no offense at my opinion of UMR's tweaks, they just did not improve anything for me and in comparison, make SD look grainier and darker, not a 'bash' on the tweaks, just a fact for me).
Maybe I got a GWII with different/newer factory store service menu settings !?!?!? I HIGHLY doubt that, but I can't figure out why else I have NO issues with SD and the tweaks don't make improvements.
Oh well...
