In Reply to: New TV burn-in? (a bit long) posted by Dalancroft on November 06, 2000 at 13:18:49:
I found your post interesting because I have had a similar experience with an Hitachi Ultravision that I got about 3 weeks ago - I swear it looks a lot better today than it did the first few days. However I also think it's possible that 1)The visual processing parts of our brain adapt to what we see and subtly the image becomes more "friendly" over time, or 2)The expectations we had when we first turned on the new set were so high we were bound to be a bit disappointed. In any event it sounds like we're both satisfied in the end. BTW I watched 'Life is Beautiful' on DVD the other night - the movie wasn't entirely to my tastes but what a treat for the eyes - clarity was almost like 3D and colors seemed to jump off the screen.

I have to disagree -- the difference between the first 1-2 hours and now (probably 75+ hours, given the indulgence of my political junkiehood last night until 3:30 a.m. Eastern time) is marked. My wife agrees and just to be sure I re-viewed some movie scenes that I initially used to check the TV's settings. No question that shadow detail (which was AWFUL at first, almost non-existent) is better, colors are richer, the picture is just much smoother all 'round. Thanks for your comments, though . . .
My inital reaction is that you are suggesting that you are "seeing" things. The reality is your eyes/brain are VERY accurate and no camera or film comes close to what you can see in real life. Heck no TV comes close to 70mm film. And film is a poor substitute for the real thing.
