Re: TiVo Picture Quality
I wonder if the issues people are having with TiVo Sd picture quality is to do with the Plasma V LCD argument. I have both (Samsung 42" Plasma and 40" Samsung LCD) and have found that Plasma is much better at dealing with SD pictures.

Re: TiVo Picture Quality
As stated this morning I definitely see a softer less detail picture both in SD and HD, the specific detail seen in HD (e.g. lines on face) just isn’t as strong on my Sony KDL40HX803 TV when the Tivo replaced my SA V+ with no setting changes made. Would appreciate if any Sony TV owners could compare their picture settings with those of mine below especially if you feel the picture hasn’t changed. Clearly everybody has their own preferences so just seeing if I’ve not done something stupid on my own settings!
Video Output Format in Tivo: 1080i, this was auto detected by Tivo Sony Picture Settings: Motionflow: Standard Screen Select: Auto Target Input: Current Picture Mode: Standard Backlight: 9 Contrast 84 Brightness 44 Colour 50 Hue 0 Colour Temperature: Neutral Sharpness: 25 Film Mode: Auto 1 Advanced Contract Enhancer (under advanced settings): Medium ---------- Post added at 20:58 ---------- Previous post was at 20:57 ---------- Quote:

Re: TiVo Picture Quality
Can any of the VM tecchy gurus on here confirm anything about the upscaling hardware/software in the TiVo, in comparison to the Samsung or SA V+? Is it completely different, for example? And if they know whether VM could change this in a future release to improve the quality or is it a case of what we've got now is what we'll always have?
Cheers guys! |

42" Panasonic TX-P42GT30B. SD better on TiVo, HD the same.

Re: TiVo Picture Quality
I can't comment on TIVO yet but I will say this, Samsung vs SA box are 100% identical. I owned both for a while and did a comparison test. Absolutely no difference to mine and several mates eyes in both SD and HD. Anyone who tells you otherwise is mad as they are identical. :)

Toshiba LCD 32" (720p) with no post processing. Was a lovely picture on samsung V+, but TiVo is grainy and soft. Tried setting TiVo to 720p only, and it looked slightly better than 1080i. Will try the other settings and HD channels some other time.

Hmm, was watching BBC 1 breakfast news on 1 and 1 HD, and there's not a lot between them. Both grainy, washed out and soft. Nasty.
V+ was sharp and vibrant, especially on HD. Not good. Boz |

Re: TiVo Picture Quality
Pass, however on V+ the difference between 1 and 1HD for breakfast news was noticeable. What's even more noticeable is the very poor picture on TiVo for me.
I really need to try on-demand HD to see how that fares, and experiment with the TV out settings, but getting time to do that with household TV demands is proving tricky! Boz |
