Samsung LCD picture quality

Hi all,
I have a shiny new Samsung LE26R41BD HD ready LCD TV. My problem is that while my XBox 360 looks amazing in HD, the SKY+ which is going in through the RGB scart socket looks a little underwhelming - it is not particualrly crisp and there is a fair bit of ghosting and colour bleeding. I don't know how good a picture quality I can expect from a Scart lead, or if this is just my new TV being a bit better so just showing up the problems with the feed.
Is there any way I can try to get a better picture? Can Sky+ be connected through VGA?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Will

    From previous posts I think you will need a fully wired 21-pin SCART lead from your Sky+ box to your TV's RGB socket, although I may be wrong. (Can someone please correct me if I am:question::question:!!)
  • Why not connect it up via componet leads - you will get a better picture than scart. Failing that a good quality fully wired shielded scart lead.

    Good selection here
