I looked at this TV at bestbuy and the picture looked awful due to large pixels. Can anyone explain this to me?

Likely the eco setting was on, on the store display model. Once you get it home and adjust the picture settings (brightness, cell light level, contrast and turn the eco sensor off) you will notice a big difference also you do not see any pixelation at 4' and further away.

You can adjust the aspect ratio so that it fills the entire screen, but that would distort the picture somewhat. I like to put it in 4:3 mode, so it looks like a normal picture. Burn-in warnings be damned! But you'll be watching the important stuff through the HD air antenna anyway.I think the SD picture is just okay. It's a bit pixelated (probably because of the size of the TV) and the colors don't seem as sharp as my 23-year old Sony Trinitron. Once you see the HD picture, SD will look that much worse.

vilasgn,I also took the gamble with a used-very good. The tv showed up 2 days ago, and it looks great, like brand new. We can't figure out what's supposed to be wrong with it, for them to take off $300, but I am glad I went for it. Fingers crossed you'll have the same experience I did.

It looks as good as a non-HDTV.From the few times I've looked at SD tv though, it doesn't utilize widescreen (It's still 4:3 rather than 16:9). So that's something you might want to think about.

you're taking 640 pixels by 480 pixels and spreading them apart to fit a larger screen, that's why its pixelated. The same thing happens on huge HD tvs when you give it a 480 line picture (standard definition vs 720 or 1080 lines which would be HD)--it spreads the lines of scan across a large surface yielding you a poorer, less defined picture. The only way you can solve that is to film something with a camera of higher resolution. The Flip is what it is.

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

Has anyone played games on it?I just bit the bullet and bought the Samsung LN40A550 based on reviews. (Got ps3 for blue ray discs and I watch A LOT of movies.) I also like to play FPS and other games with a lot of movement and action. Has anyone noticed any sort of ghosting or blurring when they play games on it? Bad thing to wonder about AFTER I buy the tv, but I'm sure it'll still be worth it when I see my movies in a new-1080p-light.

@Dj M: It sounds like you either have dead or "hot" pixels. This means the pixel will by change colors or remain "black" or "white". While the TV may function normally, the damaged pixel will not function correctly ever. I would contact Amazon.com and get an exchange or refund on the unit as it arrived damaged (you have 30 days to get a full refund).

Mine is great. The picture is very good. I mean that because I have a panasonic 65vt50 and after watching that I can still enjoy watching this one. So it most not be that bad if my eyes can stand the change from the best you can buy to this tv. It's currently in my bedroom

Hello Marie,I'm sorry but I don't know.....I've been very satisfied with the sound coming from the TV itself. I wouldn't be surprised if you could, though, because the TV is a quite technologically advanced smart TV with excellent and realistic color. Is there someone, possibly at someplace like Best Buy, who could answer your question?

I actually ended up returning my TV, as the clouding was very bad, and also the blu ray player was just as bad as well. It's a shame, since the TV did have a very nice picture watching sporting events. I was surprised to see Amazon has 40 something used TV's for sale on the same model, so I assume many people are having the same issues.

I have this TV about 8.5ft from the couch an looks excellent you don distinguish the pixel at this distance, and the size of the image is like you be in a movie theater, i dont think you must have any problem if you look it a little bit away, about the bright you alway can adjust it but i dont think this could be a problem, i use it whit one of the image presets and the TV looks amazing.

Not sure if you missed my review, but this TV is very bad quality... and again there is always the 1% chance I got a bad unit, but that seems to be too much of a coincidence for a super cheap tv. I have ps3, xbox360 and now PS4 and when I hooked them up the TV still looked awful, so I got the 60" samsung smart tv instead, and its INCREDIBLE. It was like 300 more or something but so worth it. Wait til Black Friday and get something good! Dont cheap out, thats my only advice.

What about the picture quality? My TV is coming in a few days and the HDMI ports and all the other stuff is not a problem for me. Im just concerned about the picture because the store didnt have a floor model to look at.

Im getting this tv at Best Buy if Amazon doesn't drop the price back down to around 1900 where it was 2 weeks ago. They keep raising the price and that is kinda of ridiculous. I can get this TV under 2k at my local Best Buy.
