russdenney01 Offline • • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #1 · Help on digital display/monitor issue So, I am curious as to what input you guys have for displaying photos on large (i.e. 45-50+ inch) displays and/or high def TVs. When I display my photos on my 55" Samsung HDTV, they look terrible! Contrast and colors all jacked up...resolution not great even if I size the images to native HD resolution of the TV... However, I see galleries and other places displaying nice photographs on these same devices... Would this be solved by a simple calibration or am I missing something? Thanks for any input.

You'll need to calibrate the TV or calibrate for the TV as well as sharpen for 1080p res. I just realized you already down size. The other issue is, how close are you standing to the TV? A 55" Samsung is meant to be watched about 6-8 ft away; viewing distance. Any closer and it'll look bad due to the pixel size of the TV. I believe in art galleries they use either higher density displays or you're standing further back naturally. Edited on Dec 18, 2012 at 06:08 PM · View previous versions Dec 18, 2012 at 06:06 PM
