you got suckered into buying gold plated HDMI cables when it really doesnt improve quality significantly..

Ive read around that LCD/LED need at least 240hz refresh rate to avoid this issue...

If your watching a live sports game, then chances are there will be some sort of pixelation or motion blur effect because of the compression used...

Take that thing back, the quattron tv's suck. That tv is nothing more than a marketing gimick.

the motion blur is the artifacts created from 240hz.

HDMI doesn't really help at all.

LOL at the cable, refund it when possible.
Go borrow a Blueray player and some movies, and download some TV calibration program to try it out. It could be only the TV and the signal. My Samsung has awful noise and blur on some HD channels, that pisses me off.

There's a 46" quattron display at the nearby electronic store, it plays sports channel all day long and I don't find it painful at all. It could be only yours, go back to the store and play the same channel to see the difference.

If you don't want motion blur get a Plasma.

rk604 03-06-2012 12:33 PM

definitely return the hdmi cables...the rep ripped you off.

get a plasma if your just watching tv/movies imo. cheaper, refresh rate is 600hz, and you can opt for a bigger tv! Just make sure you don't have any static images (still images that don't change) or it will damage the tv. Newer plasmas are better though...i use mine to play games and there are preventative features incase you ever forget.

Is this your first LCD with 120Hz? A lot of people who make the transition to their first 120hz/240hz TV find it awkward and unnatural. It does take a while to get used to the new motion.

However, the HDMI cable has nothing to do with anything other than transmitting the picture. Sometimes the more expensive HDMI cables might last longer, but it really doesn't matter because most people to constantly plug in and plug out their cables.

LED TV's are great and I've always preferred LCD over Plasma. However, the Quattron TV isn't very good. There is a reason why the Sharp Quattron is usually cheaper and sells at blow-out prices throughout the year. I have nothing but positive things to say about Samsung LED TVs. Pick up the D6300 or up and you'll love the picture.

If you watch a LOT of sports, live in a room that isn't very bright and watch a lot of movies, pick up a plasma. However, if you do a lot of video gaming and have kids who watch TV a lot or live in a room with lots of light, stick with the LED. If price is an issue, plasma will be cheaper.

LOL hdmi cable...

If none of the above still works, you need to pick up one of these. I'm almost 95.5% sure that this will fix all your TV problems:

Audio Quest+ 3.3' HDMI Cable

I have a samsung led with an option called 'motion plus' to reduce the blur. Try and see if you have a similar option. Agreed about the hdmi cables, they do nothing.

FerrariEnzo 03-06-2012 02:57 PM

The only sharp TVs I would get are the sharp aquos..

Hondaracer 03-06-2012 03:49 PM

imo the refresh rate has more to do with the TV's engine than the actual number listed

I find Samsungs to have a very "forced" look about them when watching regular TV @ 120hz, where as on my Sony LED with bravia engine, it seems wayyyy smoother than the 120hz samsung

I'm not sure if you're being serious or not....BUT, I'm pretty sure ALL Sharp LCD's are Aquos....

So good cables dont really make a difference

Actually, good cables do make a difference despite what most people say. Signals do experience attenuation on both analog and digital signal, and there are many factors that could affect the signal during propagation.

Lets put it this way, if you use a crappy HDMI cable and your receiving end got the opposite of the original signal, (eg, 1 instead of a 0 bit), that could due to the crappy HDMI cable unable to protect the original signal's strength. Whereas a "better" cable would receive the original bit, then the latter is the superior cable.

What most people fail to understand though, is that if your current cable does not experience bit errors through propagation then there will be no improvement no matter how much better of a cable you use. So please, the guys who keep saying digital signals wont get affected blah blah blah, stop it.

Hondaracer 03-12-2012 11:55 PM

please explain where the signal will become distorted

and who would be expecting any sort of quality difference in passing an analog signal via HDMI?

Teh Doucher 03-13-2012 01:31 AM

Quality of hdmi cables only matters when theres distance involved.

signals become weaker as distance increases, this goes for both analog and digital signals.

I do not understand your question. what do you mea by passing analog signal via hdmi? but I can tell you the reason people rarely expect a difference is because most of the cheaper cables can do the job, and as long as the signal retains the original, that's the cable doing their job. Therefore no difference will be shown when a better cable is replaced.

but that does not rule out the fact that there isn't a difference between a cheap and a quality cable. as it is very irresponsible and misleading to educate others with this false information.

and "quality of hdmi cables only matter when distance is involved. "

this statement itself explains it, all cables will have distance involved, short or long, doesn't matter. as long as a cable can keep the original signal over a span of distance, better than the other, then it is a better cable. I am not talking about all the gimmick technology you migt see on monster cables, i am talking about signal strengths and propagation attenuation.

While there are differences between HDMI cables, it's something that the average consumer need not worry about. Guidelines are in place for manufacturing cables. 28AWG (category 1) for conductors cables up to 15ft or so, and if it goes longer than that, then heavier 26AWG (category 2) conductors are used, along with better quality construction. A majority of users will be using cables of 6' - 10'. Attenuation isn't a factor in these cases, and your cheap ass cable will be good as a diamond-encrusted cable.

Yes, you are absolutely correct. While it is true that the general cheap ass cables can do 99%(Yes, this is a made up number) of the jobs normal consumers need. There needs to be a clear distinction between knowing that quality cables do exist and could make a difference, and blindly refusing to believe that such cables exist.

Most people who have posted "Hdmi cables are hdmi cables, there is no difference" are misleading people and those people will spread this info to many others.

Please don't get me wrong, I would purchase the cheapest HDMI cable over diamond-encrusted one available to me any day of the year. But the general misconception of how HDMI cables work needs and should be clarified.

sam0m0 03-13-2012 11:59 AM

I think Sharp's 120hz is called fine motion enchanced, check your settings and make sure that it is turned on.

Also if you set it for lets say hdmi 1 and decided to move your cable to hdmi 2, the settings are saved seperately so you may want to adjust hdmi 2 again to your preferred settings.

I should also mention it might already be default on, if that is the case turn it off, some people prefer it off for certain programs and see how it is.

and last maybe try gaming mode with it turned on and see what you think.

Renxo 03-13-2012 05:40 PM

haha another sucker owned by monster cable...
