PICTURE QUALITY
IS HORRIBLE!!
For best image quality, view HD widescreen programs where
possible. If HD content is not available view “Standard
Definition” from a digital source. Standard, analog TV will
always be noticeable inferior to HD because your TV has video
that is many times better than old TV’s and so you can see
interference and deficiencies you did not KNOW you had.

PIXELS THAT ARE
ALWAYS
DISPLAYING THE
SAME COLOR

precision technology, however, sometimes some pixels of your
TV may not display. Pixels defects within industry specifications
are inherent to this type of product and do not constitute a
defective product.
