viewing angle on 22" Samsung TV series 4

Also posted in PC hardware.
This is a strange TV because unlike my plasma which can be viewed from any angle or height without adjustment, this samsung 22 inch series 4 LCD has a standard stand which doesn't adjust. If you are viewing it by looking down on it (from any height) on the screen or at direct eye level it's fine but the moment you are in a position looking up (eg seated on a low couch and the tv is plonked on a higher sideboard directly in front) the screen is considerably darker and adjusting contrast doesn't help all that much. I couldn't figure out why the kids don't like watching cartoons on it until I realised they sit even lower on the couch than me and probably can't see a thing. What a nuisance, more so because I don't fancy drilling it into a wall with a swivel bracket - but surely this LCD doesn't need a swivel bracket or does it?

Same problem here!!

I have an LG 22 inch screen mounted on the bedroom wall (I took out the sony 51cm monster that was sitting on a bracket).

The wife hates the new screen....wants the sony back!!

When I scrutinised it I could see that whilst lying in bed the colour & brightness were all off. When u stand at eye level it looks great.

It has got to do something with viewing angles I think....I'm sure the smaller (cheaper?) screens suffer from this problem

LOL, my sinotec doesn't do this, just checked..... weird..
