Press the INPUT button on the remote control to select a different input source.

Check Color and Tint settings in Picture Menu.

Reset Picture settings.

For best image quality, view HD wide-screen programs where possible.

If HD content is not available view “Standard Definition” from a digital source.

Standard, analog TV will always be noticeably inferior to HD because your digital flat panel TV has video that is many times better than old TV so you will see interference and deficiencies you did not know you had.

Check the connections of external devices that may be connected to your HDTV.

Make sure the specifications of external devices meet the specifications of your HDTV (i.e. resolution).

If you are using an antenna, the signal strength of the channel may be low. Make sure your antenna is connected securely to the TV and move the antenna around the room or close to a window (in the case of indoor antenna use).
