Why won't my led tv give the best gaming graphics?

Q. I have a 40 inch Samsung led TV. I got it mainly for good gaming graphics, but it's not giving me really good results. I've seen other tv's have amazing gaming picture quality. How can I make the quality of gaming graphics better on an led TV?

A. You do not have a "LED" tv. You have an LCD tv with LED back-lighting. This it to improve black-levels.

For gaming - you also need 120 hz to reduce motion blur.

You may have failed to go to your game system and tell it you have a HDTV with 1080 resolution.

You may also need to properly adjust the Brightness, Contrast, Color. Get a Pixar movie and go to the disk setup menu. You will find test patterns and instructions for setting the basic TV settings.

Get your setup correct and it should improve things.

Note: Televisions in the stores are set to nearly 100% Brightness and Contrast to make them 'eye catching'. However this tends to loose fine details and colors will then bloom or expand into other areas. While it looks impressive for the 10-60 seconds you walk buy - it does not look good for long term viewing. So do NOT compare your screen to one you saw in a store display.

Hope this helps.


Do you still own a CRT television, if so what is your reasoning for not getting rid of it yet?
Q. In my house we own 3 flat screen HDTV's I bought the first two and my mother bought a very expensive third, what's your reason for not switching to the HD flat screen era of TV's?

A. Yes I do. In fact, I have two houses with a total of six televisions. All of them are CRTs, and all of them still work perfectly fine. One of them I bought this past April. The tricksters at the store I bought it at tried putting the display model right under a 52 inch 1080p Sony Bravia, but with my knowledge of televisions and my own two eyes comparing it to similarly-sized LCD HDTVs in the store, I saw that it produced a picture that was no worse than the LCDs, in fact I thought it was better. And this is why:
1. LCDs do not produce contrast anywhere near the levels of CRTs. Even LED-backlit models cannot match the black level of CRT televisions.
2. The response time on LCDs is inherently slow enough that motion blur can be observed in fast-action scenes, especially models with 60 Hertz refresh rates while watching movies. No such thing has ever existed with the CRT in its 100+ year history.
3. The viewing angles of LCD displays are relatively narrow. No matter how the manufacturers try to report them, I KNOW when I'm looking at the TV from off to the side or below and the contrast is going to zero. With my CRT television placed about 4 feet to the right of my desk, I can watch TV while working at my desk, and not see incorrect colors.
4. Speaking of colors, the CRT accurately reproduces the colors, as it is not backlit by a fluorescent light producing light of inconsistent wavelengths that cannot match up with the wavelengths of light that the liquid crystals can block.

The icing on the cake? The CRT cost me about half as much as a comparably-sized LCD would have cost me. And guess what, its screen IS flat. (In general for electronics you get what you pay for, but only when comparing TVs of the same display type.)

In addition, I don't have HD programming or a Blu-Ray player, the only gaming I ever do is with a PS2 (non-HD), and I still watch a lot of DVDs and VHS tapes. Non-HD content always looks WORSE on a HDTV of fixed-pixel (non-CRT) technology because of the scaling and de-interlacing that must take place. If I need better picture quality on cable, I just switch to the digital cable channel.

Resolution is NOT as important of a spec as many people and HDTV manufacturers make it out to be. Your eye notices contrast, color, and smoothness (including fast response time) before it notices resolution. When watching constant motion video as on TV, your eye focuses on the motion and changes, the whole picture, rather than on fine details.

Finally, I would like to clear up the misconception that CRT televisions cannot be HDTVs. There were a number of 1080i CRT HDTVs made from the late '90s until about 2 years ago, from a number of brands including Sony, Samsung, RCA, Toshiba, Philips, Panasonic, and others, as well as CRT rear-projection by even more companies. You can take a 21 inch CRT computer monitor with a resolution of 1920x1440 or higher and hook up a HDTV source to a VGA transcoder, and there you have a small 1080p HDTV. And many CRT projectors could display higher than 1080p; the BarcoReality 909 could throw a resolution of 3200x2560p (almost 4 times the resolution of 1080p).

When the time comes for a new TV, it will probably be a plasma. If SED or FED TVs are out by then, I would also consider those.

Hope this answers your question.
