Visit the website http://lcdtvbuyingguide.com/ for a guide on how to properly calibrate your screen for optimal viewing.


To make it a bit easier for you, from http://samsutech.net/Tel...ions/About_LED_all.html

I notice they have two 40" LED models: UA-40F6400 LED and UA-40F5500 LED. Assuming yours is one of these two, then the calibration settings are as follows:

i. for UA-40F6400 LED, http://reviews.lcdtvbuyi...0-picture-settings.html


ii. for UA-40F5500 LED, http://reviews.lcdtvbuyi...0-picture-settings.html
Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.

Not much you can do there. You're most likely not feeding 1080i HD content to your new TV. If you feed it for example 480i, your TV has to upscale the picture to 1080i, your TV's native resolution. Grainy picture results.

Small help would be to check the menu settings and switch off "motion enhancement".

Take the same source you are trying to watch on your TV to the shop. Try it on the same model TV. Note: most shops are only playing back HD content that is why they look so good and they also run the TV in DEMO mode.

If the picture quality is the same, then you have no choice but to look for HD content (DSTV HD, Blu-ray). SD content generally looks bad on HD TV's (compare this to up-sizing a picture to where you start to see all the compression artifacts, picture noise etc.).

Another trick would be to just sit further back when watching SD content so you don't see all the picture noise in HD. smile

Once had a problem with grainy pictures after I got a new TV. Turned out the problem was the very old coax cable from the dish to the decoder. I learnt to buy all new cables in the two subsequent times I got a new set. Coax, HDMI, RCA etc.

Read this thread first: Keep trying...

Then try some suggestions from the makers of your TV: http://www.samsung.com/u...0022525&fm_seq=22693

Bought a 42 inch samsung tv, its not smart but I made it smart, I bought a CPU a wireless keyboard and mouse plus am connected to JTL fibre, as good as a smart tv with added advantage of 750GB storage, I can play any kind of movie or music using Vlc or others, I can browse the net easily, I can record shows onto the computer cpu memory. pleased with myself.

If your local bar maid can tune the pub digital flat screen tv to give a clear piksha, how come you are unable to do it?

Anyway, some nice advice here: http://www.cnet.com/news...r-a-better-hdtv-picture/
