Page 1 of JVC AV32WFT1 Horizontal line problem

Hi,

I`ve just got myself a JVC AV32WFT1, which by all accounts (reviews) should have an excellent picture. In fact it`s v good with analogue broadcasts but when I switch to DVD, the picture quality declines.

I can quite clearly see that the picture`s formed of horizontal lines. I know this is how a TV picture is made up, but I can see darker lines between the image lines. This doesn`t look like interference because it`s always there. This is noticeable even when you sit back quite far back from the tv. The DVD player is a Toshiba sd110e, connected with a RGB scart to the RGB compatible socket on my TV. All settings are correct, ie RGB is selected on the DVD player, the TV picks this up automatically. It also has the effect of making edges look jagged.

With my old (non-widescreen) JVC tv, I didn`t notice this effect at all, but the image was a lot smaller. It`s especially noticeable on my DVDs of Casino and Heat, even when I`m viewing the image in it`s original 2.35:1 and not zooming it to fill the screen.

Is there something wrong with my tv, or is DVD just not high enough res to stand being blown up large. DVD, like TV broadcasts, has never looked to be particularly sharp to me (as a photographer I like my images sharp), but it`s looked better in shops than this...

Any advice would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Daniel
