I see “noise” or static on the screen.

• When your TV’s digital capabilities exceed a digital broadcast signal, the signal is up-converted (improved) to match your TV’s display capabilities. This up-converting can sometimes cause irregularities in the image.
• If you are using an antenna, the signal strength of the channel may be low. Ensure your antenna is connected securely to the TV and move the antenna around the room or close to a window for the best signal.

When I change input source, the display image changes size.

• The TV remembers the viewing mode on each input source. If the viewing mode on the new input source differs from the one on the input source you switch from, the difference may be noticeable.
