480hz already exists on plasmas.

 

freakin awesome! no buyers remorse at all dude. but coming from a 6 yr old 480i sony lcd doesnt say much. Transformers on blu-ray is a must.
glare really isnt an issue. there are some many video display variation it offers that ur bound to find the right combo for ur viewing area.

Now i have another issue......................

audio or maybe video is delayed. gots a bad echo with the surround sound on.
im currently using coaxial cables? (red and white). is that an issue. sound i got optical?

 

All this Hz talk is just a new fangled way to put FPS and response time. Hz=fps=refresh^-1

480Hz is merely a response time of 2ms

 

shouldnt make a difference in sound between coaxial and digital (unless the noise floor is really high)
the echo is more likely related to your receiver's processor, which model is it? did you try different surround settings?

 

No optical in/out?

 

Just turn the TV speakers off. If there is a audio/visual delay you can dial that in with your receiver. If you don't have a center channel you're probably going to want to get one.

S/PDIF and the optical TOSLINK are the same digital format just one is optical the other digital... they'll have the same exact results.

You might also want to think about getting an HDMI reciever, they're pretty decent now and some might allow you to use the TV as a center again.

:edit:

you might also be experiencing a processed echo, make sure your receiver isn't set to Hall or Large Room etc...

 

noise floor?

changed the surround setting on the TV itself that made a world of diff..
it its older model 5.1 sony with a 5 disc dvd changer.

 

so you had both the TV's speakers and your HT speakers on at the same time?

 

yeah.. i know i can just turn off the tv speakers but ehh..
just seeing if there's a quick fix to sync them.

 

well...different arrival times by the same sound will cause all sorts of weird reverbs

i'd just turn off the TV speakers when you watch a movie
u dont wanna blow out those tiny speakers
