Picture quality

[Red D]

I've a problem with my XP1000 picture quality... It's too 'shiny'. For example if a female newsreader has blonde hair, the edges of it go bright white and shiny on my screen. I've tried altering the brightness and contrast settings on my tv and played around with a new settings on the XP1000, but the problem persists.

I upgraded from an Openbox and the quality was perfect on that (Im using the same hdmi leads)

Anyone experienced anything similar? Problem with the box?

Be aware that PQ is (partly/mostly?) appreciation (i.e. 'between the ears').
Furthermore: make sure that all settings in Video Enhancements Settings are set to neutral (128/256).

As rob says turn off any video enhancements you may have enabled on the TV, these are mostly there to lure people in with big bold, bright colours in the shops but in the home they are more a nuisance than any thing else.

What do you have your resolution set to? 1080i or 1080p? Remember 1080p upscales, my preference would be 1080i.

Providing you have a relatively new Sony, I can not believe that you don,t have some pre-sets for picture display.... If so and they have one for movies try that..... Its probably the closest to reality unless you can choose a calibrated set up.

I choose movies and the pic goes darker then
