If your TV is not connected to a cable or satellite box, run

Auto Program
(

).
The TV image does
not look as good as it
did in the store.
Store displays are all tuned to digital, HD (high definition) channels.
If you have an analog cable/set top box, upgrade to a digital set top box. Use
HDMI or Component cables to deliver HD (high definition) picture quality.
Many HD channels are upscaled from SD (Standard Definition) content. Look for a
channel that is broadcasting true HD content.
●
Cable/Satellite Subscribers: Try HD channels from the channel lineup.
●
Air/Cable Antenna Connection: Try HD channels after running the Auto Program
function.
Adjust the cable or satellite box's video output resolution to 1080i or 720p.
The picture is
distorted.
The compression of video content may cause picture distortions, especially in fast
moving pictures from sports programs and action movies.
A weak or bad quality signal can cause picture distortions. This is not an issue
with the TV.
Mobile phones used close to the TV (within 3.2 ft) may cause noise in analog and
digital channels.
The color is wrong or
missing.
If you’re using a Component connection, make sure that the Component cables are
connected to the correct jacks. Incorrect or loose connections may cause color
problems or a blank screen.
The color is poor
or the picture is not
bright enough.
