Hey
audioholics, I'm a beginner here, and thought this was the place (beginner section) to ask for help...
This is actually my final effort to try and resolve my problem, i have actually tried everything, and initially asked Bestbuy (the place i bought my tv from ) for help... but as a mediocre, not knowing-anything, newbie on this whole home theatre thing, i didnt understand anything and was reluctant to follow what they told me to do and buy for I was afraid of getting 'taken advantage of' for not knowing anything. After countless days of headace, confusion ( im gonna cry
), i just didnt know who to turn to, i spent a good day or two researching in the net... and found this site (wouldnt hurt to try).
I waS planning to buy a new hdtv and i didnt know where to start. so i went to bestbuy and looked for tvs with a budget of 1500$. I asked one of the staff, and they told me about giving me agreat deal on this 50HM66 toshiba dlp, for 800$ but the catch was the tv was their demo tv,and iguess they wanted to clear it out or something i dont know. and soo i was like ok 800$ dats good i cud return it later on if i didnt want it.. and so i bought it. they told me that they'll give me 4 year plan for free, and told me to buy the stand also which was like 300$ because they said the tv will most likely fall from my own pre-maid stand at home (small wood cabinet thing) and they also told me that if i wanted good quality picture, to buy these.. monster cable hdmi thingy and optical wire that costed 500$ put together.. at first i was amazed at how these little wire thingy cost... i couldve bought myself a 360 with those.. but with a promise from the staff that i wouldnt regret it i juss tok it in. in the endd i ended up paying a little over 1900$ for what was supppoose tocost 800$..
And so when i got home i hooked up with my hd box and al and found out that my reciever and dvd player didnt have d hdmi and optical input. nontheless the quality of picture the tv was giving wasntt great at all.. hd programs dont even look like theyre hd.. and some of the "normal" channels looked better than the hds.. they whre blurry and dark.. Frustrated, i call best buy to make an arrangement of returning it because it felt like i made a mistake. after a little arguement they told me that i cant return it cuz i have just signed a deal of buying the demo tv for keeps... (imsorry for such a long life story.. i guess yhou guys didnt need that.. )
Defeated.. i have shifted my entire focus from trying to return it into, actually trying to make it better myself. is it because im not using the hdmi cables thatit looks blurry? oh and i forgot o mention that the cable issplitted trhough out the house from basement to 6 rooms. so could that be the problem? or that toshiba 50hm66 just isnt the highquality picture type of tv??? pleasee.. im likee dyinggg over here.. i dont know wat to do anymore.. please help me out!
