Haven't you fixed it yet then?

Errr, VGA is RGB .  Most decent cards do HDMI direct if you have a modern telly for when you dump that Sony PoS.

If you get a Radeon card, making an VGA to SCART is easy enough, but you need a bit of software called Powerstrip to set the res to 720 x 576 on a mega low refresh.

PoS

Just because it works a lot better than you FS75

FQ75. Yes, that piece of crap that Sony UK STILL do not acknowledge a problem with. Sony France were more open and implemented a rather expensive fix.


But the fact remains, even the cheapest LCD will outperform a 6/7 year old CRT, esp a WEGA based one.  But, seeing as Sony are unable to make decent electronics to drive an LCD, places like Costco are selling the pretty reasonable 32" Panasonic Viesta for under £400...

For interlaced material I still prefer CRT but as soon as I can get a High def source I wil go 1080P LCD, to be honest I reckon there is only a year or so left before the tube will be worn out. Luckily I dropped the brightness almost as soon as I bought it - I reckon that is why it is still good

I must say, I'm not 100% convinced by LCDs yet. I think the colours from a CRT look a bit more natural and I just find some LCDs wearing on the eyes. LCDs seem to look much worse on poor quality source material too.

Good job I've got a lovely KV32FX60

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Have to say I agree with this.  Of all the LCDs that I have seen, I think that CRTs just "better".

Well it's dropped off - first one in ten years.

I left them a manual and sequence of events.

If they can't do it hunt for a specialist

A lot of LCDs, particularly the BRAVIAs have a weird default setting (I suspect to make it stand out as vibrant in the showroom).  My brother uses BRAVIAs in his (jewellery) shops as under the bright lighting, the colour stays bold for his ads.  But for normal viewing, it would need taming down.


I went from a FQ series Sony CRT to a Dell 37" LCD. The Dell was, imho, the more natural colourwise (perhaps with the exception of blacks), and obviously, none of the geometry/colour bleed/alignment issues associated with the Sony CRT (or any of the FQ's other well publicised problems!).

I have replaced the Dell with a Samsung which answers all the shortcomings of the Dell (though introduces one new one (selecting source manually) which is a PITA).
