The TV should be sharp right out the box, without need to make adjustments. There must be an external problem as Dave indicated. If possible I would try to get an over the air signal from a roof-top antenna or even a set-top antenna (borrowed from your local Radio Shack or electronics store) assuming that you are close enough to a local TV station's broadcast tower. The over the air signal will be true HD without any added equipment so you can rule out the cable company box and associated cables. If the over the air signal produces a good picture, then you can start to eliminate the external equipment/cables that Dave refers to.

Use "Movie" mode, although it is darker than the others it gives you the best results in a dark room and allows for the quickest adjustment to proper calibration. These are my settings for my PS3/Blu Ray player (my HD Cable is slightly brighter) Oh and I strongly recommend you SHUT OFF Auto Motion Plus, it causes a soap opera effect and creates the illusion the picture is moving faster than normal. Color Temp: Warm 2 Backlight:7-10 depending on your preference Brightness:47 Contrast:95 Color:45 Sharpness:5 Tint:G49/R51 White Balance Settings: Red Offset: 28 Green Offset: 25 Blue Offset: 16 Red Gain: 25 Green Gain: 25 Blue Gain: 21 I like these settings and I got them from a credible source. Ultimately it is up to the viewer, and everyone has different preferences. I would advise a lower backlight setting for a few reasons. It is set high at the factory so the TV looks better next to it's competitors in store, and second it consumes more power and will shorten your TV's life span (will burn out faster). Play around with these settings and find what works for you. Hope this helps.

I have a Phillips 47" with "HD Natural Motion" and one of the first things I did was turn it off. Like you said everything looked "live". I don't know why anyone would want to watch their tv like that. I watched part an episode of Law and Order before changing it and it looked like it was on court tv. At first I thought it was some sort of special episode that they made look like that, as if they had a news crew filming them. Then I realized it was that setting.

One of the posters talks about the picture quality while using non-HDTV. I think he said he has it in a trailer, so no HDTV. Also, this unit doesn't have an S-Video connection, which is what is needed to get the best quality standard def. picture (at least that's my understanding). Which tells me that this unit is really not intended mainly for standard def viewing. Vizio, Sharp, and Philips make some units still with S-video connections. Maybe some others do, too, but so far I've found only those three brands. And if I had to guess, I would guess that eventually they'll all stop putting in S-Video connections, as more and more people start subscribing to HDTV.

I go 720p. I beleive its a higher quality image. Either way they dont broadcast in 1080i i beleive 720 is the highest they broadcast at the moment on cable boxes. I know my local time warner does not broadcast at 1080

The picture on my set is nice and crisp. First off use only an HDMI cable. If you are using any other way to connect, you will not have the best picture. If you are using a cable box, make sure the resolution is set to 1920x1080I as many cable boxes default to a lower resolution setting. I had to adjust my setting even though it was a "high definition" box. Hope this helps.

Did you ever resolve the problem? I'm having the same problem. I can't get a quality picture something standing perfectly still - like my christmas tree! My ISO is set to 100.

Thank you so much! That was it. This is the first time I've use an hdmi cable, and I just can't believe the difference in the picture quality. Thank you again!

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?

Isnt that a shame? so you're saying that it will look grainy on any blue ray player? I wouldve thought any encoding problem wouldve been fixed by now, i mean 300 just came out on blue ray.Do stores offer refunds or something? Have you tried a different blue ray? or a different TV? Im going to take mine to my friends house and test it on his LCD TV.thxThank you.

I don't normally watch sports on this machine. I use it as my desktop monitor because I can plug a laptop in thru the HDMI port and use both machines. Having said that, I hooked up and external HD antenna and watched the Bears lose tonight. Although I occasionally lost the screen due to thunderstorms bollixing reception, I did not notice any blurring. I then went to ESPN through my desktop and watched some of their videos. Voila, occasionally the screen blurs. I don't know whether I need a faster internet speed or whether the box is at fault. I suspect internet due to it working OK over the air. Hope this helps.

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.

I grant you that blur is an issue on many LCDs, however just make sure your cable provider isn't too "Comcastic" before blaming the TV. Comcast is notorious for bit grooming their channels. Most over the air HD channels are at 19.2 Mbps. Blu-Ray on the other hand is up to 39 Mbps, and that doesn't even take into account more advanced codecs (MPEG2 vs H.264). Comcast is known for dropping their HD to below the 19.2 Mbps of broadcast, and most reviewers agree that it is quite detrimental (blur and artifacts). Personally, I agree that the Panny G10 is THE bang for the buck, but just make sure the fault is only with the Sammy. There is nothing worse than exchanging something to find out the quality will never live up to your standards because of something else. It is all about the source. Good luck!

Fuzzy lines that are not all the time mean interference. Search Amazon for "ferrite bead" and get one of the ferrite clips. I have them on all of my HDMI cords. Usually the reason to buy more expensive HDMI cords is because they are more insulated to prevent interference, but it is cheaper to get a clip on ferrite bead. If you only have one, clip it on the side with the monitor/tv. You can clip it on both sides of the cord if you have multiple. I just want to note that if you have fuzzy letters or image, then there might be a resolution conflict. For example, you are outputting 1080p when your screen only supports 720p. Another common problem that causes blurryness is overscan in screens which cuts off the edges of the image and then resizes the image to fit full screen. They do this because cable television usually comes in with weird white lines on the edges and overscan removes that. You can sometimes disable this in the screen's settings. Hopefully this solves your problem!

I just took delivery on one from Amazon, a BRV46 and in any picture mode it looks like I am watching throw a window screen. I am not sure if this is the vaunted "mura" or "clouding issue". But I am not happy.My house is a little cold today, which could be a factor. But I must just return it and swap in a Panasonic plasma for about 1/3 the price.
