Type of Signal

The type of signal your television receives has a large impact on the quality of the picture you see. If, for example, your TV is set to an HD channel broadcasting a true HD signal, picture quality will be high. If, on the other, hand, you have your TV set to an SD (Standard Definition) analog channel, the quality of the picture will be noticeably lower with little you can do to change it.

If your TV is not displaying a high quality picture, it may be because:

  • You are not receiving a True HD signal.
  • The resolution setting is not set correctly on your external device
  • Or a possible service issue which can be found through troubleshooting in other issues.
