My overall opinion of the LT-40133 is mixed. While it offers brilliant 1080i picture quality, I have yet to dial in its 1080p performance with my Samsung BD-P1500 Blu-ray player. As it stands right now, I've watched the movie "300" in Blu-Ray format, which was slightly fuzzy, almost to the point of being described as pixelated picture quality. It's especially noticable in dark scenes or when black colors are displayed. I'll be experimenting over the next few weeks with different
HDMI cords and calibration settings to imrove PQ.
Comments about the
ATSC tuner
Watching
OTA TV with the LT-40133's
ATSC tuner is a pain. Expect a 2-3 second wait time when changing / tuning in channels. The program guide (
EPG) will only display a channel's current and future programming ONLY if you tune to that specific channel. Pressing the "Guide" button and skipping around to other stations without tuning to them will not display programming information UNTIL you have tuned to each of the channels you want to view.
