Whats the best settings for a samsung 50" plasma pdp television ie colour,contrast,etc i seem to get ghosting!

Question

the contours on faces stand out for a few seconds

Answer 1

Ghosting is usually due to a bad signal, not the way it's set up.

Answer 2

If you have a good quality DVD player, select a movie which was released after 2001 and shot with THX technology (it will tell you on the box). In the extras menu on those DVD's there is a picture set-up series of tests called the THX Optimzer, it takes you through each step and tells you what it should look like. A few DVD's with this on are:

Star Wars, The Phantom Menace, on the language menu, the icon is on the bottom right of the screen, and,

Pirates of the Caribbean, The Curse of the Black Pearl, under set-up, icon in middle of screen.

You are able to set sound and vision with the system, but you are recommended using special 3D-type glasses for one process, which you can obtain free by contacting them.

Answer 3

It seems a lot of plasmas have this problem with ghosting.I had 3 of them and they all did.I know that the contrast is best set quite low and the colour in the middle some where.Thank god i got rid of mine and got a Sony bravia lcd.The picture is miles better on the lcd than a plasma.Good luck anyway

Answer 4

ive found that the ghosting is because of a not so good upscaling that the tv is doing too a standard tv signal.connecting a freeview or cable box that uses hdmi will resolve this.also put all the settings at half and work out best from there.
