Poor picture quality on HDTV LCD?

Q. I just got a new 15" Toshiba LCD. Playing video games on it, its an improve of picture quality. We have Comcast Digital cable and it looks worse on this LCD TV than it did on our old Tube TV. Certain channels look about the same, but most look worse. The colors look oily and seem to "run", you get LESS details, and you have to be about 15' away from the TV to see a clearer picture. Any ideas?
DVDs play excellent quality, it seems to be just Cable.

A. You don't say if the TV is HD or SD so it's difficult to be sure.

Unfortunately it isn't unusual for flatpanel HDTVs to do an inferior job with SDTV than "oldfashioned" CRT TVs. This is particularly true if the LCD TV has a slow response rate (how fast the screen "redraws') since this leads to blurring when there is fast motion. This is also a problem for LCD SDTVs.

If it is an SDTV you are probably stuck with it. However, if it is an HDTV you can improve the picture (at least somewhat) by feeding HD programming.


What is a really good quality and reliable LCD HDTV to buy?
Q. I want to purchase my tv from samsclub for insurance. But i dont know what brand is a reliable and good quality. Any advice?

A. I just took a quick peak over at the LCD's from Sam's. Most of what's been said is the way to go. Samsung, Sony, Sharp Aquos are all good brands. At least one of their Toshiba's I spotted is one that rates reasonably well.

I agree with one of the other comments though for Panasonic. I think that's your best quality choice through and through if you're looking for one in the size range they make in LCD. In bigger sets they go to Plasma, but in their mid and small sets, they are LCD and they are rocking sets. They are there at Sam's web site, so should be there at the store too if you're going in person.

Stick with any of those brands to start. Then when you have some models picked up, do some more homework on the specific model. Every brand has entry level, mid-level, and high end models. So not all models are made equal. You want to do your homework on the specific model(s) you're interested in and make sure you're getting away with a good choice.
