The moment of truth arrived with the testing of Iron Man 2. As expected, the factory default setting made it look like flippin’ Eastenders. Chose the ‘Movie’ setting and manually removed bits like the noise filters and motion plus options. I know, these tellies pride themselves in having these advanced facilities but you don’t really get the best picture with them on. I guess with HD TV broadcast, perhaps yes (Sky+ HD multiroom nanti sikit, heh). As for the sound, everyone knows to get the best result you need a separate multispeaker audio setup. For the time being, the telly speakers would have to do and I did some manual changes on the SRS TruSurround HD to fake it. Star Trek, Transformers 2 and Indy 4 followed suit and I was finally happy with the settings chose. If only I can have SNSD’s ‘Genie’ on 3D which is made available in Korea by Samsung. *leleh*
One snag remained was the internet facilities. It ain’t the telly but the fact I am currently opting to go wireless as my router is downstairs. The telly supports up to N communication protocols and I have an N router until I changed to Sky flippin’ Broadband (which is fast, nevertheless) when the router they gave was a G. Apparently there is way to hack my original N router to run on Sky which I have seen on the net, and hope this may somewhat improve things (can aa? hahaha). Wish me luck.
