Sasically i got it last week and tbh im a little disapointed, this is my first LCD tv after finally giving up the old CRT.

I just got myself a better quality aerial to pick up freeview on it but im currently running an aerial extension from my TV the living room to this TV so i can watch the sky for now.

Problem is i think there is alot of ghosting and after playing around with the display settings i cant seem to make it any better. is this just the drawback of a LCD tv not running a HD channel.


(Do Sony centres have a return policy if your not happy)

If you're not happy with the panel, ask wherever you bought it from if you can return it.

I suggest running another source through it, such as a DVD player.

A LCD/plasma will never handle SD as good as a CRT, but the picture isn't exactly terrible.

Without seeing the panel it's difficult to say. See how a DVD looks and report back.

yeah the extension is running off a normal cable, from a t-splitter from the living room TV.

ill check my dvd player for it.

See what a DVD is like, but chances are you will need a booster for the signal, unless the picture on the main tv is fine?
