Tom’s Garage

Got a new entertainment unit yesterday, unpacked the TV and, Voila!, I’m all about LCD baby! Of course, the TV did not include an HDMI cable so I ordered one last night, hoping to improve the picture quality even further.

I suppose there’s a reason why LCD TVs don’t get as large as Projection or Plasma units — It looks great form a little distance but it’s not so crisp when you’re inside of 8′. I’d go so far as to say that my crappy old 27″ tube had better quality. Perhaps I just need to tune things a bit or perhaps I’m hosed permanently. Don’t get me wrong, I still love it, but I want more… MORE! Anyone know if the HDMI cable is going to solve my close-up problem? Or any other magic device/setting?

Warning: Do not buy your cables from Best Buy (Hah!) or Circuit City unless you also light cigars with flaming $100 bills. Get them online at Monoprice.com and save yourself 80% or more. I got two 15′ HDMI cables, shipped with the next day option, including tax, for $22.
