Poor Picture On New Bush TV

justin128

I have just bought a 32" Bush 32FT24CA TV for  the conservatory to replace my 10 year old Samsung which passed away I am disappointed with thee picture quality and have fiddled with the different modes and settings to no avail. I expected it too be as l;east as good of noy better than my old Samsung and it is nowhere near. There is no aerial or tuning involved, as it is connected  by a HDMI cable to the Sky Q box.
 
Can anyone advise me on the best mode and settings for general viewing to  get the best picture quality?

Have you tried looking at it at night time with lights off, the extra brightness I assume you get in a conservatory might be the cause of picture quality needing adjusted to suit ambient light levels.

Buy a better make of TV.  Argos/Bush (Vestel made) is pretty much the lowest of the low.  Mind, in that size screen nothing is especially good - even from the big brands.

That screen is HD ready.  Nowt wrong with that per se but needs the TV to rescale from the $ky box output (say 1920x1080p?) to fit the 1366x768 pixels of the screen.  Cheap scalers are poorer than expensive ones.

Cinema or Filmmaker modes are generally better than other presets.  Turn off most of the sharpening / motion compensation settings, too.

Bush is a cheap make, so you get what you pay for .

We have a 32" Sony Bravia HD (and SkyQ) in our conservatory.  It's absolutely fine - perhaps because it's on a wall bracket, and is slightly tilted down, which seems to help with the light from the roof.  

But it's really down to getting what you pay for.

Bush, and other budget makes, are very capable of delivering crisp, vibrant, full-HD quality pics.

What is the actual problem Justin? Less-than HD quality? If so, I'd suspect the communciation settings on one of the two devices involved. Lack of brightness? Then possibly it's the ambient light in that room - very probably the Bush won't be as nitsie as better makes in this regard.

AIUI the main difference between cheaper and more expensive TVs is the quality and power of the main processor.

We have two Chinese TCL TV's which were reasonably cheap ( but not the cheapest), and our main TV is an LG near top of the range LED.
Main differences are that;
1) The TCLs are quicker and easier to use in terms of changing channels, loading the TV guide, switching streaming channels etc ( a known weak point for LG) 
2) They all give a good picture for HD programmes, however the TCLs struggle with older progammes on SD channels, giving a poor quality picture. The LG TV upgrades the SD channels and the difference with the HD channels is quite small.

Coming at this a week late, but...

Has it got eco mode turned on? That always makes a TV unwatchable for me, and catches me out when I buy a new tv, as it happens so rarely.
