Hello, sorry if I am in the wrong place. I recently purchased a
Panasonic 36" CRT HDTV ready tv and have some issues that I need
feedback/advice on. All are relative to basic cable.
1. Sometimes, images such as a face or a natural grass football field
seem to "digitally pixellate" during motion. How can I prevent this?
2. There seems to be a greenish underlying hue on most channels. I
especially notice it when yellows are on the screen. How can I adjust
this?
3. Sometimes the red seems very strong. I have color warmness on the
neutral setting (not warm or cool). Anyone have any experience with
this?
4. Can be much variation between picture quality from channel to
channel. Assuming that this is just within the cable and the result of
a larger, improved technology TV. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

1. The pixelation you're seeing is probably due to the varying amount
of digital compression the cable company uses. An HDTV is more apt
to show these flaws in the signal compared to an older/smaller analog
set. It's even worse with DirecTV/Dish.
2. Dunno, but if i set the hue to the reds look more normal the
yellows attain a slight greenish tint.
3. I use the Normal (neutral) setting on my Panny HDTV, and found
that dialing back the color saturation setting helped reduce the
blooming reds.
4. I get a good signal from my cable company on most channels,
but some don't look as good. Again, the TV is simply amplifying
the flaws in the signal - it's not the fault of the TV.

Randy,
Thanks for the reply and the link to the forum, I'll check it out. I
think I took care of the picture color issue by setting it using the
"Digital Video Essentials" DVD. Unfortunately, the TV just doesn't
seem to have good resolution. It almost seems like there is one of
those protective films over the screen (there isn't) that I should peel
off to make the image very clear. Some "pixelation" along straight
lines, slight loss of focus during quick motion on faces (hues, grass
football fields, etc), and even small details (such as the scrolling
words at the beginning of Star Wars as they become small) start to
waver. Seems like a resolution thing. Do you experience this? Any
additional advice? I would really like to keep this TV if I can make
it work. Thanks in advance.
