Am I watching true RGB??

[basharat]

Right guys, just received my hitachi C32WF535N very happy with the pic and sound:) It has two rgb scarts, I have connected sky to one and dvd to 2nd with proper homecinema scarts(fully wired). The pic is really good on sky but when I tried to adjust the colour and brightness etc it lets me do it. :confused: I thought in rgb mode you cant adjust colour etc:confused: I have checked the settings on my tv which say rgb and my sky which are rgb as well. My tv is the latest model of hitachi. So have they modified rgb so that you can adjust colour etc? Please shed some light on this!!:(

Got to the setup menu of your sky box and flick between PAL and RGB. You should notice a massive difference. If not, then something is wrong.

You should be able to alter brightness and contrast, but maybe not colour.

I do notice a huge difference when on rgb but I can still change colour and contrast etc:confused:

What makes you think that you cannot change colour, brightness etc?

There are three rgb enabled tv's in our house and you can alter colour settings on all three.

On my older tv you couldnt adjust any of the settings in rgb mode.

Technology changes.All RGB capable tv's will allow adjustment these days;it is a tweaked version of RGB.

Just bought a new JVC AV28T55 - and it doesn't let me adjust colour or sharpness. Only briughtness and contrast.

Is this likely to be a fault

I think it may only be older 50Hz sets that cannot alter RGB outputs. RGB (from what I understand) is supposed to drive the tube directly. Not sure about newer 50Hz sets.

With 100Hz sets, you typically have a digital buffer inbetween to ramp the refresh up to 100Hz - this allows you to tweak the picture settings at a digital level.
