The picture seems fuzzy or blurry, I even tried Justin S. settings in review posted on amazon, please help! could it be just setting or cable wire? it does not seem sharp like HD should. Thanks Christine

Christine, I would check the following: 1. Connection - make sure the hdmi cable is secure. Also if you have an old/cheap hdmi, I've been told investing in a new/higher quality can benefit, however I haven't tested. 2. Make sure you are set up for hd from your cable provider. If not you might be able to tune the channel, but if your box isn't hd you won't see the inproved picture. 3. Make sure you select the hdmi option the the tv selector (if you have the older red/white/yellow av cables plugged and are using those by mistake, they won't give you hd). 4. If you're streaming (watching amazon, vudu, YouTube, hbo go, etc) despite these sites offering hd, it is dependent upon the speed of your internet connection and you may not be receiving hd. If you've accouted for everything listed, I would call your cable provider. There may be an equipment issue (their box). Actually when I set mine up I had to so this as I was receiving a picture issue, but after a reset it has worked fine since. Hope you this helps and you resolve the issue.

I am not that tech savvy either but I have a few suggestions:1.) On the front of the cable/satellite box there are sometimes buttons that let you select the type of HD signal 720P 1080i 1080P or this could be found with the remote in the settings.2.) Format button on your TV remote3.) Make sure you are using a HDMI Cable4.) Some cable/satellite cable providers make you pay extra for HD so make sure it is on your package 5.) Browse around in your TV settings via the remote and see if there is anything that needs to be changed for HDTV.Hope this helps.-Nick I am not that tech savvy either but I have a few suggestions:1.)

I have only noticed a minor motion 'jerkiness' on a couple of TV shows, but I attribute it to my satellite receiver, otherwise Sports in HD and DVD viewing are phenomenal! I will look into the owners manual, to see if I can find anything. You say it is intermittent...for all viewing or on certain shows? Also, are you viewing via cable or satellite?

My SD DVDs did not look good either. The upconversion to 1080p cause the picture to "jitter" slightly, but noticeably. I went to "video output settings, selected hdmi (which are the cables I am using), manually set the output to 1080i....and the problem completely went away. My SD DVDs now look as well as they did on my old players.

No, I use it through my computer and the picture looks over granulated. Other sources for 1080 and 720 hd works though =\

D. Mauro, Different signals and devices will vary. The good news is that each input is independent, so it's designed so that you can set each input to "Clear" or "Smooth" or whichever setting you most prefer for that specific input. This way, every time you switch to a different device, you don't have to change your settings. Why it's juddering? It could be signal strength or more specifically, signal compression that causes that. For some networks - or hardware - the signal needs to be compressed, and decompressed. That can have an affect on the playback. Or it could be a number of other factors as well, like the resolution that's incoming (480 to 4K, 720 to 4K and 1080 to 4K will all look different), so check your source's video menu (Blu-Ray player, Cable/Sat box, etc) to make sure you're getting at least a 720p or higher resolution, or that it's set to AUTO. Those factors can also affect picture quality. It's probably NOT the cable, we can probably fairly rule that out. Does that help? --Mr. S

It probably has more to do with your cable box and the resolution being transmitted by that channel. Tri changing the cable box display settings. Hard set it to 720p or ensure all formats are on. Either way I suspect it's your box not the tv.

Pixelation = artefacts?Latest Update installed on TV, sorce connected via HDMI and watching either in 'Professional' or 'THX' Mode I cannot recongnize any artefacts. Do you see 'pixelation' only when watching TV channels via cable box? How is the picture when watching BluRays or DVDs?

No. You might want to play with the settings. I have mine set on Vivid. I am assuming you had a good signal before. I would try regular HDMI cables. I tried 4k HDMI cable through my cable box and got a good picture but sound problems.

@ NC movie man.Sorry, but not good. Your video quality probably looks good when watching cartoons or using a SDTV (non HD). The pixellation you describe - I have not seen. On my TV, a 47" LCD Flat Panel, lack of clarity is the problem. Picture quality is about as good as the worst SDTV Satellite channels that I occasionally watch.If you installed computer software when setting up your modem, it might indicate your download speed.

After the Fix.. the SD channels look really good, and the HD channels are superb.. except for the PBS channel which is also in HD. The picture there look like a regular SD but it's still good.The DVD looks fantastic! Just make sure you have it in Movie mode. Well, it depends on your taste and how far you are from the TV. If you are more than 12 feet away.. Dynamic would be nice. If you're really close, 6 to 8 feet.. Movie mode will do the trick. I'm sure you'll love the T.V. It is really pretty. Good Luck!

I just set up this DVD player tonight using an HDMI cable and the picture on my 52" HDTV was also quite grainy. I changed the setting on the dvd player from 1080p (auto) to 480 and that works much better. For now I'll keep this setting until I can figure out why the HDMI setting isn't working.(Update in a new post dated 12/27/08)

I would rather recommend retunrning it and then rebuy it if needed, I bought mine last year and its totally the opposite to your description, works like a charm and displays 1080p, you can even read license plates

I dunno? I have a 40" TCL, very satified. I suggest accessing a station that is supposed to be High Def 1080, then look at the bottom right hand corner when accessing the channel from GUIDE, it will spell out if you have it in High def .

I think Justin's settings are fine and that the key is high contrast, low brightness and I keep my settings just around where Justin's are too. I have my color set down to around 31 and sharpness very low, energy setting at medium.There's several settings at the www.avsforum.com for this tv

I personally have never seen this problem. I would ask you cable provider. When my time warner was first installed, the default setting was not 1080p. I had to manually set that up on my DVR.
