How do you improve picture quality – graininess, blurriness- on a 40 in Samsung LCD flat screen TV?

Comcast sent a signal and the color is better, but it is still not great. Could it be that I am sitting too close (6 ft from TV)?

    First off if your cable is not HD then that is the problem. If it is and u still feel that the picture is not as good as it could be u may want to buy a new high quality cable that connects from the cable box to the tv.

    How close you sit should be irrelavant with either a plasma or LCD screen. Have you checked your cable box, input lines, HDMI cable? Does your viewing area currently provide HD TV? Six feet seems like it is a good distance, perhaps a tad close, but far enough to view. Sounds like a better question for a service tech. Sorry I can’t help more and good luck.

    Are you only having the problem with your cable?(i.e. is a DVD or game system clear?) If you have a blurry screen with another component, then it’s your tv. You need to go through your menu and do a screen calibration. This lines up all three of your colors(red,green, blue) If they are off, it will be blurry. If you only have the problem with cable, I would check your cables first and see if you need better ones. If you just have a coaxial cable connected directly to your tv, you won’t have a great picture. You could get a high def box. This will give you high def on some channels but you don’t need this to have a good picture. I would suggest trying a regular digital cable box from comcast. If your cable box has a menu, see if you can adjust the picture from there. Good Luck

    Yeah you ARE too close…..8 to 12 feet….

    NOW , you NEED HD…that’s what these TVs were built for…
    NOT SD low-def TV shows…..

    So stop watching 50 years of programming that is soooooo bad…..and sooooooo LOW DEF that you’ll commit yourself to only the prime-time shows recorded in HDTV……

    That’ll give you 3-4 hours of viewing time all day long….
