Freeview Picture Quality on LCD TV'S

Kimberley

I've heard that the freeview picture quality on a LCD TV is not very good, is this true?

I'm looking to buy a LCD TV from Argos whilst they have their sale. Also can you tell me if this TV is good?

I've no experience of that particualr model (google!). But in my experience most people who have problems with picture quality on newer LCS Tv's have bought models that are too big for their rooms and are sat too close to them.

I have a 42" LCD and it looks superb from the correct viewing distance. Sit just 4 or 5 feet away and it looks really bad.

Its more complicated if you like sharp fast moving images, look for a TV with low refresh rate <8ms. However as there is no real standard for measuring refresh rate its difficult to compare one TV to another without seeing them in action.

I think this has more to do with how strong/quality of signal and quality of TV rather than a general thing... I have a 42" samsung Plasma with built in freeview and it has a tremendous picture but my friend with a similar TV gets a crap picture (They are both plasma and 42"). My sky is also not up to par with the freeview although still a great picture

Ok right, well i have a large living room so the TV would be quite a way from where it would be viewed.

Thanks :beer:

I guess you can get a little closer to Australia on a wide screen TV?
