Re: Polaroid P32LED13 stuck in standby

You just need a thick skin to deal with all the imbeciles asking for "lowest price"... What part of **make an offer** don't they understand?! Argh I could rant all day about the idiots on Gumtree but they buy my TVs so I can't really complain that much......

Price that can be got is depending on area sold in as much as the set itself....

With out the sales sites on fb I would get ay business at all, I get crappy offers but always refuse them, I get recommended so much that I dont have to follow business it comes to me.

A little more investigation into why this panel looks as bad as it does...

I know you can't expect much from an LCD TV for £160 but this is genuinely the worst panel I've ever seen. It looks so bad, I would say the gamma IC is defective... except, it doesn't have one! There is NO panel level gamma correction. How do I know?

I set up test patterns on my uncalibrated 9G Kuro and compared them to this LCD. A good panel, each quantisation bar will be almost the same width (and they will start around level 1/4 the way in, this is normal) but as you can see, the bars on the Vestel vary in length, whereas the Kuro (and any other respectable display) will keep them the same.

What's happening is the Vestel set is driving the panel with 8-bit corrected gamma values generated by the main processor, which means it's basically losing loads of low-level graduation detail. It's also deriving the panel gains on the main board which causes a bizarre colour stair-stepping effect on short gradients, like you get on faces. Result: everything looks like a very bad oil painting.

It's the equivalent of driving the panel with something like 4-5 bits of colour resolution in the low end, and 7 bits in the high end bright stuff (you really need the extra resolution in the low end - human eye is pretty bad at seeing differences between two bright sources but pretty good at seeing differences between two dark sources.)

Yet, I'm sure people will say, "oh that has a nice clear picture". and it doesn't matter but this is such a serious problem it's not even something like a videophile complaint, and I'm no videophile, it's literally completely wrong according to all the standards of HDMI and the like regarding colour perception and decoding, so I have no idea how it passes any of the related standards.

For future reference TV sold for £100 to a pair of students yesterday so the market isn't too bad around here.

I think they simply have no clue. It's just a TV to them, it's cheap as hell, and they gotta get it fast before someone else does so they can run home and watch the latest mind-numbing rubbish from Hollywood.

The concept of the thing being low quality probably doesn't even cross their minds, likely due to copious consumption of the aforementioned Hollywood garbage.
