I finally bought myself a Samsung 32" LCD tv today. I rushed home, installed it, turned it on and my heart sank.
The picture was rubbish, with loads of artifacts on the screen, just like I saw on many LCD's in the stores. I assumed that was due to the video feed being split between many tv's in the store.
The picture from SKY and my DVD player connected via scart is woeful, from my cable it's better but not great.
The only way to get a half decent picture is to reduce the sharpness to 0.
A sales assistant in another store told me that the picture on the LCD's via scart leads can sometimes be bad especially if using cheap scart leads (which I am) He showed me the difference between a cheap lead and an expensive lead and it was miles better.
Is this normal for LCD's? I don't like the thought of splashing the cash for a crappy picture. My old 14" portable has a 1 million % better picture than the LCD.
I have also been advised elsewhere to try connecting with either hdmi or component connections instead of scart.
Help!!
