Are you plugging the yellow cable in the green input? Just a suggestion off the top of my head :)

Are you sure you are watching on the correct output? AV rather than cable or something else? We have had the same problem with the wii on a different TV and switching the chosen output solved the problem.

Right.. same question here.. some people have reported that they only see black & white image.. one reports it due to batteries not providing enough power...?? What's up with that..?? Does it display in color as advertised or in B&W;? Anyone know for sure?? Thanks!

You must first plug the HDMI cable from the wii (adaptor) to your TV... Turn both the Wii and TV on.... Then through the wii settings you can change it to 1080p

It probably has more to do with your cable box and the resolution being transmitted by that channel. Tri changing the cable box display settings. Hard set it to 720p or ensure all formats are on. Either way I suspect it's your box not the tv.

is it possible that it IS hd but dimmed? when i got my satellite upgrade, i was horrified to see that the picture i was getting was about half the brightness of over the air broadcasts that looked absolutely beautiful. it took me a day or so to figure out that the tv comes from the factory defaulted to 'autoview' under 'picturemode' in the picture menu. put it on 'sports' or 'standard' to suit your taste. this tv is all about inputs, and i assume you have it set on 'antenna/cable'. if you do, i should think you'd be getting HD just fine. good luck. -dan

So I tried standard no luck, the light issue is still there making the entire background a washed out black. I tried putting my receiver on pure direct mode hoping this was a noise issue...no luck there either. I tried hooking the blu-ray player directly to the tv no luck agian still have the light issue. I also did the software upgrade on the tv. I'm now wondering if this a problem with the signal from my blu-ray player. Any help would be appreciated! Here is my setup: Samsung UN55B8500, Denon 3800DCI Blu-ray player, Denon AVR 5308CI all Hdmi cables are monster brand.

Anyone got any other calibration settings. Ryans settings are great but I find the colors to be a little bit dead, also Netflix on PS3 does not look the best even on X-High compared to my 720p LG. Nvm problem solved they look nice its just some HD streams look worse then others. Also presume your not suppose to be standing right next to the TV while watching :o.I raised the color settings and lowered the black level to make the picture have more color.Thanks Ryan!

Do you have HD cables for those systems? Because if you don't then it's going to look just about the same. No TV will magically turn a garbage picture with old hookups into High-Definition. I did a quick search and I'm not even sure if HD cables are available for SNES. Good luck though.

I'd like to see some pictures from others as well. My 48" TCL's picture is so incredibly grainy, it's distracting. A HD TV shouldnt look like this when displaying 1080 content.

What do you mean you're using the same source? If it's cable, the actual quality may vary from program to program. Make sure you are comparing it on the same quality programs (e.g. use the same talk show). Reset picture quality to factory defaults.

My tv looks great, Please try to play something from amazon instant video or netflix, sometime cable signal is not as good as it should and image quality became bad. Believe me this is one of the best inversion I ever did, this tv looks so goodThat a lot of friend ask me where did I buy this tv because it looks so amazing. I have a 47" LG and you can note the quality difference. I think if you can see the pixel problem with netflix or amazon instant video then the tv it is not working properly

Thanks for the response. I did expect that to be the case to some degree. I did some re-adjusting recently and am pretty happy with what I have now.With the dvd issue I used component video instead of the rca and it's a huge improvement. It turns out to be pretty solid tv after all.

Scott, glad you found the post useful. I believe the Wii's max resolution is 480p, so there's some conversation going on, maybe? Like you I don't really understand the details on this stuff. I do know that I haven't had problem at all with audio and video being out of sync using the 720.

Would you like me to send you a video of how to hook it up? Also what console are you connecting to? The booklet inside shows you how to hook everything up to your tv. You just have to make sure the cords are in the right color connections. I had an issue for the first couple of months where everything I was recording was in black and white until I realized You can't use HDMI cords to connect your system to the tv if you're recording. The whole HD labeling is misleading.

Great question. I use the aspect ratio on the remote or in the TV's menu, and select the ratio that best fits the picture that is currently playing. Hope this helps you out!

If you have dish there is a button on the remote that says format it gives you a couple options choose normal.Sometimes if the channel is a HD channel it automaticly has the black lines on the side there is nothing you can do for that as far as I know. I would call LG about the picture problem. I have not had any problem with the picture its great.

There is no way that I know. When I installed mine, my cables were not fully seated and I saw a similar color issue. It is possible that one of your component or HDMI cables is not completely connected to the box or the TV/Devices. Check that your cables are firm and in the correct ports. If they are, you may try testing with another cable. Once my cables were set, my picture was perfect and I have had no problems with the box.
