bushing lad 114 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 just got a new panasonic plasma tv and the picture quality is awfull. Ive got a HDMI cable which improves the picture quality for dvd and xbox but it doesnt improve it when watching normal tv. Does anyone know how to improve it? thanks.

scothunter 12,609 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 What hdmi lead you using they do make a difference. I paid 50 odd quid for my lead and I know folk will say " how much " but I noticed the difference. Also like has been said go to tv settings and check what setting it is in. I was watching a blue ray movie once,And it was really snowy. Until a mate came in and changed the setting to movie it was spot on then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bushing lad 114 Posted June 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 my sky box is really old and it doesnt have any place to put the hdmi cable. So do i need a a more up to date sky box with an HDMI fitting to get a better picture quality? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malt 379 Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Have a play about with your settings. I don't know where it will be, but there should be an option somewhere for noise/artifct reduction levels. When I say 'noise', it's nothing to do with the sound, it's to do with the digital noise that appears on the screen. You'll only get it so good with normal terrestrial channels though. Sky or freeview HD is the way to go. I'm sure there's an offer on with the sky boxes at the minute, not sure though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
