Way to reduce LCD HDTV Ghosting?
I recently bought a 32 inch LCD HDTV from Sharp (the 32GPIU, which is mainly for HD videogaming). The picture quality is great, but I have noticed a certain amount of ghosting while watching TV and playing fast-paced videogames on my 360 and PS3).

I was wondering if there is a way to reduce the amount of ghosting. Are their certain settings I can change to reduce the ghosting? I’ve heard that the backlight in certain LCD televisions increase ghosting and trailing occurances.

Backlighting doesn’t have ANYTHING to do with Ghosting….

Fast paced action blur is caused by only ONE THING and that is the response time of the LCD crystals….

YOU NEED FASTER or you will never be happy with that TV set…

Take it back to the store and EXCHANGE it for a better, more expensive model…and be honest with the Salesman about your situation….they don’t want you leaving UNHAPPY…
So, let them decide what TV’s are best for GAMING and Hi Speed Action, and you choose from their suggestions.

As for me…I’d select Sony’s “Motion Flow” Technology…
They come in the XBR4 models and some of the S and V series of LCDs….

Never seen a Sharp myself, so I can’t vouch for their quality…

Is ghosting more often a problem with LCD monitors than for LCD hdtv’s?
Is ghosting/blurring more often a problem with LCD monitors than for LCD hdtv’s?

Lets say for example, assuming they both have the same 5ms response time would there usually be tech features missing in an LCD monitor that an hdtv would normally have to reduce ghosting?

That all depends on the specific display, but the short answer is the HDTV is more likely to suffer ghosting problems.
The larger an LCD is the more the Black to white response time will be, (not grey to grey which means nothing).
30″ Monitors have a typical response time of about 16ms, most 22″ monitors or less typically have 6ms, some even as low as 2ms, black to white.
Cheaply made monitors and especially HDTVs will often only state the grey to grey response times, as the black to white (the important one) is very high, and the grey to grey is always much faster.

Just make sure the specifications you see state the response time for black to white, anything more than 16ms and you will defiantly notice the difference in a game like Unreal Tournament.

Another factor is that some HDTVs support 1080i which is locked at 30frames per second, unlike 1080p or any Monitor which will have up to 60fps, this is as important as response time.

In monitors and TVs you will find inferior and superior LCDs, you just need to know what to look for.
Never buy a 6 bit display, only 8 bit ones!!

Will my new LCD HDTV suffer from more ghosting effects than my old CRT tv?
Im buying this new 42″ Sharp lcd hdtv which is 60hz. I keep hearing that this refresh rate will suffer from a ghosting effect and a trailing effect with video games like bf3 or mw3. my current tv is a Sharp crt tv which is at least 5years old maybe more and I never notice this problem when I play fast paced games on my crt. Are crt tvs just immune to ghosting? Would I be down grading the quality of my gaming by moving from an old 27″ crt tv which I never notice this ghosting or trailing effect to a 42″ 1080p 60hz lcd tv which I hear suffers from ghosting?

What you describe is a early effect of the technology. In short you need to look a high refresh rates above 200Hz. You should also go towards LED rather than the LCD.
You should nip into a large TV store and look see a “Samsung LED 6 series” and above to more than adequately meet your needs.

How do I get rid of the “motion ghosting” while playing dvds on a Hdtv?
I have 27″ hdtv lcd by olevia. model type is 227v
While playing video games, they look fine. When I watch standard dvd’s on it , alot of the parts in the movies look like the picture is trying to catch up with itself through a “motion blurr”. How do I stop this. Do i need blueray player to stop the blur?

This is normal when watching any video content that is non HD, you may have to do some adjustment to the monitor or live with it, try updating the firmware and see if that helps.

Plasma Vs LCD for Xbox 360 Gaming and watching SDTV. (Insignia Brand HDTV)?
Hello,
Should I buy the…

Insignia™ – 42″ Class / 720p / 600Hz / Plasma HDTV
Model: NS-42P650A11

Insignia™ – 37″ Class / 1080p / 120Hz / LCD HDTV
Model: NS-37L550A11

For gaming on the Xbox 360 with HDMI, FPS games (Call of Duty), and a viewing distance of about 5 feet? Will I be able to notice the difference between the 720p and 1080p? Will I have ghosting in either TV. And is gaming-lag (ms response time) going to be a problem in the LCD or Plasma? And which one would be better for watching standard definition cable television? Please help me decide!!!

At 5 feet and 42 inches your best bet is the plasma tv. Granted at 5.5 feet is when you can start to tell the difference between 720p and 1080p…at 5 feet you will barely notice if at all, and unless you are going to have a 1080p tv right next to your 720p tv you will never know the difference. Plasma has been known for its better color contrast and richer colors, which in my opinion makes for a better overall picture quality. The plasma also has a higher refresh rate which means fast pace movies and games will not blur and have better picture quality overall. Plus the plasma is bigger which is a plus.

For everything you get in the plasma, (even though its not 1080p), I can easily imagine the picture quality being better then the LCD 1080p tv.

help to decide – Samsung – 46″ 1080p 120Hz Flat-Panel LCD HDTV?
I’m thinking about purchasing a hdtv. My first big dilemma is either i should pick plasma or lcd. Mostly I will use it for watching movies and as far as i know plasma supposed to be better for that, but lcds started to catch up with the colors of their rivals plasmas. so im really into this lcd. it has 4ms so no ghost images in action movies, 120hz will help and of course is lcd which supposed to last longer. so i dont know.

Please if you have any suggestions on different tvs or anything else i will be thankful.

Regards

Ps. if you need more details

There are several differences in plasma and LCD and each has their pros and cons. Plasmas will generally cost less in the larger sizes, show a truer black, and have a better viewing angle. But they also use more energy, are susceptible to burn-in images, and will last you probably about 10-12 years max. LCD’s use less energy, are much easier to see in a bright room, and can last 14+ years. But LCD’s are a little more expensive in large sizes, are prone to blur some times with fast movements, and don’t have as good of contrast.
