    LG TV Picture Quality Issue

    Update regarding this:  LG sent out a technician.  TV faulty.  Likely motherboard issue.  So the unit was refunded.  Got the Samsung 55 inch AU7000 yesterday.  Vast improvement over all the other TV's in the house.  Even the packaging impressed me.  Double the effort taken in the boxing of the...

    LG TV Picture Quality Issue

    Spoke to FNB.  They just do a first line support type thing.  Ask you what the symptoms are, and whether you have tried other settings and sources.  According to my answers they have now handed over the query to LG SA.  Thanks  :thumbs:

    Intermittent tray issue, where when you open the tray, it would immediately close by itself again.

    LG TV Picture Quality Issue

    TV is not even a month old.  I immediately noticed something is not 100 with the set, so ordered the latest HDMI cable from Audico, which made a small difference, then tried different sources, settings etc.  Point being the set is still new.  Having got it through FNB, I am following their...

    LG TV Picture Quality Issue

    I have tried everything.  With all the playing around with settings, what has become clearly apparent is that some settings, like Sharpness, has no effect, whether it is on 0 or 50.  Another is that one moment the image would be perfect on channel 201, and when you change channels from 201 to...

    LG TV Picture Quality Issue

    Busy with FNB trying to sort it out.  My suspicion is that it has to do with faulty color processing.  One moment everything would look perfect, and then you change the channel to sport for example and suddenly the grass is almost a neon green.  With the 65 inch I easily found the "sweetspot"...

    LG TV Picture Quality Issue

    I didn't get a magic remote with the TV, and can't find anything about 3D settings in the manual or in the setting.  So doubt it could be this.  I also copied the settings on the 65 inch to the 55 inch, and the image is rubbish.  So busy arranging with FNB Connect to come and fetch the thing.

    LG TV Picture Quality Issue

    This is what I was thinking.  I got it via FNB Connect (Smart Devices), so will find out how returns work.

    LG TV Picture Quality Issue

    Interesting thanks. I will check the Trumotion setting.  I know one difference between the 7000 and 7100 is the magic remote functionality on the latter.

    Thanks will go see where to find that setting.  I don't think I have seen it anywhere.

    LG TV Picture Quality Issue

    G'day, A year ago I bought the LG 65 inch I think 65UN7000 series UHD tv.  I am very happy with this TV, so this year when I needed to replace a 15 year old power surge written off plasma tv, I thought I would go the same route.  I assumed getting the same series, but being the newer model...

    Where can I get my Audiolab 8200 CD/DAC checked out in Pretoria?  Tried Mandarin, but they are not responding.

    Dewalt or Stanley 18v Cordless Drills

    Based on OP question Dewalt (sure there are other good stuff as well).  Ryobi is good for the trash after one use....if you are lucky.  ;) Cordless tools have become like photography.  If you already own Nikon lenses (X brand batteries and charger), you stick with a Nikon body (x brand...

    Any musicians here?

    I think that playing an instrument definitely helps in knowing what to "look" for in audio kit, and identifying it.  Having played the bass guitar it is unfortunately a difficult ask as IMHO there are not many systems that can reproduce the frequencies created by a bass guitar and bass drum...

    Has your domestic, or home staff stolen any of your gear?

    Luckily we have not experienced theft, except for food items, where I agree, we also let it slip.  We have had to lock up anything with sugar in and ration toilet paper.  Having a lockable pantry has made a huge difference.  You doubt yourself and start wondering if you are imagining things...

    Hifi Slush Fund

    Yes.  To me it is the great part of this hobby, that I can buy kit, and I can almost guaranteed, sell it again for at least what you paid for it.  So you can rotate and play around with a variety of components.  But you have to get into that rhythm first, and I guess most of us did that by...

    Hifi Slush Fund

    So the last couple of weeks I had to start getting rid of hifi kit that wasn't being used as often as it should, or not at all.  Most of it was a rather emotional experience, as much of it had sentimental value in one way or the other.  But I convinced myself that at least to someone else it...
