Testing the picture

The TV image does not look as good as it did in the store.

Store displays are tuned to a digital HD channel.

If you have an analog cable box or satellite box, upgrade to a digital cable box or satellite 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 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.

The picture is distorted.

The compression of video content may cause picture distortions, especially in fast moving pictures from sports programs and action movies.
If the signal reception is weak or poor, screen distortion may be visible but it is not a malfunction.
Mobile phones used close to the TV (within 3.2 ft) may cause noise on analog and digital channels.
