I have an Asus VS228H-P monitor that i got for about $140. I really love it, great design, super slim, no big power adapter, 3.5mm audio jack, excellent display quality... i just love it and im glad i didnt cheap out this time. I would love to have a TV this sharp, clear, and bold, and ive been thinking of buying another of these for a TV in my room, but i need something bigger and i would like to have 2 hdmi ports. So i was looking at TV's at Best Buy and i found a $140 Insignia 24" TV... my dad ended up getting one for himself, so i checked it out to see how it would perform.... i was disappointed.
The TV has an alright design, overall design appearance was fine, but the picture was terrible. When i got up close to it when my dad was watching soccer on it, i could easily see artifacts around the players and other stuff that was contrasting against the bright green grass. It looked like it was displaying a JPEG with lots of artifacts around the edges of objects in the image... like THIS. I also noticed that the image was quite blurry and kinda pixelated overall. When the players with white jerseys were shown against the grass, the two contrasting colors would kinda bleed into each other. The response time must also be horrible since when they kicked the ball into the air, you can see the ball trail... it was like a tail (like when you move your mouse around fast and you see it trail behind), and again the color of the white ball would bleed with the green grass. Overall, it was horrible and was upset because i wanted to buy another of the same tv for my room, but not anymore.
Are all LCD TV's this bad? So blurry and pixelated and just so horrible? I kinda hope its just that model that is that bad, because i dont want to buy a TV only for it to look so bad. Maybe it could be the television feed? We have Time Warner Cable for tv, and it was connected via HDMI. And the cable going to the tv from the Time Warner converter box (no DVR feature) only has one splitter in its path from the main line.
If my Asus monitor is also an LCD display, and so is that Insignia TV, why would the tv look so bad while my asus monitor is crystal clear? Are all LCD TV's that bad? Is it just that particular model of TV that is so shitty? I didnt have a good feeling about an "Insignia" tv, never heard of it.
Any help and feedback please? Thanks!
