Okay, before I say anymore... I no nothing about TV's aside from how to change the channels... well I do know a tad bit more, but nothing extremely technical about them, or how they work or whatever, but anyhoo... I recently got a Panasonic 32" Wide Screen Flat-Panel LCD HDTV** (TC32LX50), and I hooked it up very simpily. I pluged it in, and attached a cable to the NTSC tuner in the back. I have no HD signal going into it, just a standard cable connection from the wall to televsion set. I notice the picture is extremely soft, and almost washed out on the TV... From a distance it looks alright, but it does appear somewhat grainy at times... Now I have ordered the HD box from the my cable company, and am expecting it shortly, but I am just wondering, is the problem I have to do with the fact that I am not sending a digital singal/HD signal to the Televsion, and just using standard cable... Or does my TV suck badly?
There are several things to help your tv the hd channels are your best choice but also make sure your wiring is good (not alot of spliters in the cable) also do you have a hd monitor or do you have a digital tv so that you can capture hd over the air without paying too much to anybody else
Digital TVs need digital sources. Getting HD cable is a good idea espcially since your set doesn't have a DTV tuner. To test picture quality try hooking up a DVD player, using component video or HDMI cables (depending on what type of DVD player you have), and see if the picture is any better. It should be better.

Alright, well I finally did get the HD Box, which came with component cables... Now I have another question. I notice some HD channels get somewhat pixalted during fast motion... Example. Watching the olympics, the NBC logo goes accross the screen, I notice that is very pixalated... Would that be the TV, my digital box? Could it be the component cables? If I was to use the HDMI connectors, would that improve my quality of picture more? That being said, the quality is substantially better on the TV with the box, just a little seems to be pixalated when in motion... is this normal? Television is a Panasonic 32" Wide Screen Flat-Panel LCD HDTV** (TC32LX50)... Thanks for any advice...
I don't have any experience with the Panasonic LCD Flat-Panels but I would recommend using the HDMI connection in any case. A High-quality HDMI cable is also recommend. The pixellation might steam from the tv not having a response time fast enough to keep up with the action on screen. Does pixelation occur when you watch action movies? Ced
Yeah, explosions and chases for example, it does get somewhat pixalated in the fire, or in the background when someone is running fast...
