Hello folks, long time lurker, first time poster here.
A week ago I purchased a Sharp 32d62u (meant to get the gp1, ugh) and I have a small problem/question that I need sorted out before I potentially haul this thing back to the big box store (Circuit City, 1.5 hours away). I realize I could've posted this in the already started threads on this particular line, but I wanted to get input from all the other LCD HD TV computer users and I apologize ahead of time if I'm out of line by posting this here instead of the thread.
I've been fighting this thing for almost a week trying to get it calibrated properly, and I've come up short every time. Granted, I am trying to do it "by eye" and not any software/hardware solutions, but I just can't get bright yellow to show properly. No big deal right? Between the automatic adjusting contrast and my inability to get yellow dialed in properly I'm pulling my hair out. A good example of what I'm talking about is the font color of the AVS Forums, I cannot get that yellow to display on this unit. It looks washed out, not as vibrant as it does on my 22" wide screen gateway sitting side by side.
My question is, at this screen size (32") and resolution (1920x1080) is that normal? or am I missing something in the calibrations? I can get a yellow color, just not nearly as bright, it looks more bronze. This may seem like a minor thing, but in the MMO's I play yellow is often used to denote item/quest/critter difficulty/rarity and it's driving me up a wall, lol.
Sorry for the essay, but I wanted to try to explain the whole situation and welcome any feedback or suggestions you guys may have.
Thanx
