| Snowy TV I upgraded to a newer LED LCD TV lately. I see that there is more background noise than more old one. The very slight fuzzy effect you see if you stand within 3 feet of it. HD channels are perfect. Is there any way to fix that? Noise reduction is on, but not making a big difference. My 4 year old tv did a better job of filtering analoge noise. Panasonic TC-L42E50 42 inch 120hz.
I switched splitters but that made no difference. Do I have to purchase a $2000 TV to see any difference? |

kudos:1 | What source are you using? (OTA, Cable box, Tivo, etc) And what type of cables do you have running from the box to the TV? |

| DVD Recorder. I made no changes since the last tv but it must be more sensitive to noise. |

If you are using a DVD Recorder, then your "source" is in Standard Def. TVs use a lot of different upscaling chips and techniques to make SD fill the screen. The difference you are seeing may just be a different upscaler.
Try feeding the TV an HD signal and see what happens. Also make sure you are using a digital connection, and not analog. And then buy yourself an HD recorder. |

Completely understandable, but it means you just need to get used to the snowy picture. |
