So I received a new Home Theater system for Christmas from my wife. We had a Sony HT - C800DP for several years but had been looking to upgrade to a Blu Ray for some time. When the front speakers started to go we decided to upgrade after the new year as apose to try and see what was wrong with it, seemed as good a reason as any to upgrade.
She supried me on Christmas with an LG - LHB335 as we have an LG TV (42LG50) that I've been very happy with and had great reviews when I bought it about 2 years ago. When reading up on this unit it seems to get some mixed reviews, but excited I when ahead and hooked it up anyway. A few things are jumping out at me right away that I wasn't expecting and wondering if its just a junk unit that I should return, I hooked something up wrong or just needs to be calibrated.
The right rear and center speakers have a slight whistle to them, not bad typically when watching a movie or game, but enough to be distracting when in a menu. I have re checked all of the connections and everything is correct, but from what I read on-line seems to be a running issue with this unit. Any work arounds for this?
Also I have watched Blu Rays at other people houses (part of the reason we decided to upgrade) and the image is fantastic, better then a lot of the HD programing. I'm assuming becuase of being in 1080p and not a 720p like some of the networks broadcast in. While mine is an improvment over the DVD, the picture just isn't as sharp or vivid. Again is it the Blu Ray, TV, me or a calibration issue. It is hooked up with an HDMI cable and I've tinkered around with the settings, and while that helped a bit - it is still not on the level some of these other units I've seen. Just less then I expected out of the box for the cost of it.
