First of all, please perform the Picture Test and confirm that your TV is properly displaying the test image. (go to MENU - Support - Self Diagnosis - Picture Test) (p. 30) If the test image is properly displayed, the poor picture may be caused by the source or signal. • If you have an analog cable/satellite box, upgrade to an HD digital set top box. Use HDMI or Component cables to deliver HD (high definition) picture quality. • Cable/Satellite subscribers: Try HD stations from the channel line up. • Antenna connection: Try HD stations after performing Auto program. ✎✎ Many HD channels are up scaled from SD(Standard Definition) contents. • Adjust the Cable/Sat box video output resolution to 1080i or 720p. • Make sure you are watching the TV at the minimum recommended distance based on the size and definition of the signal. The picture is distorted: macro block error, small block, dots, pixelization. Color is wrong or missing. • Compression of video contents may cause picture distortion, especially in fast moving pictures such as sports and action movies. • Low signal level can cause picture distortion. This is not a TV problem. • Mobile phones used close to the TV (within 3.3ft) may cause noise in picture on analog and digital channels. • If you're using Component connection, make sure the component cables are connected to the correct jacks. Incorrect or loose connections may cause color problems or a blank screen. There is poor color or brightness. • Adjust the Picture options in the TV menu. (go to Picture mode / Color / Brightness / Sharpness) (p. 22) • Adjust Energy Saving option in the TV menu. (go to MENU - Setup) (p. 29) • Try resetting the picture to view the default picture settings. (go to MENU - Picture - Picture Reset) (p. 24) There is a dotted line on the edge of the screen.
