The signal types make a difference in the picture quality. To get the best picture quality, consider the signal types and the connection best suited for that signal type. The chart below shows the different signal types.

Even with High Definition or Digital Content Subscriptions, not all content may be available in those formats. Each individual program will list if it is available in HD format. Contact your local service provider for details on your service and available programming.

In order to receive High Definition, you should use HDMI or component YPbPr video connection to your video equipment or coaxial to your over-the-air broadcast antenna. Connection using the yellow composite or S VIDEO will not provide HD quality signal to your TV.

Shown above is a high-definition signal with wide mode (16:9 aspect ratio). A high- definition signal fills the screen with a crisp, clear picture with no ghosting and less noise.

Shown below is a standard-definition signal with 4:3 aspect ratio. The picture is fine with the Normal mode, but not as good as the high-definition signal. When a standard-definition signal is viewed in the Zoom or Wide Zoom mode, you can enjoy an enlarged picture on your TV screen, but picture quality may vary.

This TV performs best with high-definition signals. Be sure to read the “Considering the Signal Types” section on this page.
