I was in Futureshop this evening checking out the plasma vs lcd scenario.
I was particularly interested in the LG PV400, 50", but was a bit confused by how lacking in brightness the image was, I adjusted the brightness from it's 50 value to Max and then down to it's Min value.
I really didn't notice any change at all. How could this be?
The power saver icon was greyed out... I flipped through the available Picture Modes, and the change between them seemed minimal (couple seconds spent on each one).
Is it possible the TV was recently unboxed and needs a few more hours of ON time?
Is it possible the screen has many many hours of ON time and is basically done?
Regretting that I did not tinker with the contrast as well... My fear is that this tv is a low end plasma and they have skimped on overall brightness... Thoughts??
Edit: it was next to an LED that was super bright (oversaturated imho), so the particular vidfeo it was displaying is not to blame either.
