I went to my local Best Buy to try out some DVD's to see how they looked on the HLN5065. I used Gladiator and The Game. With Gladiator, the picture was dark and lacked any type of punch. The movie on my 27" Sony looked MUCH better. With The Game, same thing, DULL looking.
The mode was set to Custom with Contrast 100, Brightness 65. I switched Gamma from 4 to 0 and then 5. Still looked awful.
The sales guy tried two prog dvd players (Sammy and Toshiba) using Monster component cables. Tried Component 1 and 2, didn't matter.
Is this just "the way it is" for DVD's on large screen HDTV's?
The High Def feed, however, looked awesome.
