Blurred Sky menu...

    hi all and thanks in advance for answering this one if you can!:D
    I just bought a Panasonic 42"plasma tv in the sales, but the sky menu doesnt look half as good as it did on my last tv, in fact its quite blurred, and when you forward pages in the sky menu the programme titles seem to fuzz and re-focus if that makes any sense..
    Last tv was cheap AOC 32" lcd - and this didnt happen.
    is this problem down to the sheer size of the tv or is there something else i need to do..
    The programme picture is otherwise perfect, just the sky menu thats really not looking right.

    too much alcohol :D:D:D
    only messing .


    Is the sky box a hd one ? is it set to rgb (if its not)

    have you got the tv set up correctly?

    It could be just going from 32 to 42 you notice the difference in quality of the epg, nothing to worry about IMO.

    whats it like on dvd or bluray?

    The bigger the TV, the more you will notice the problems with the image.

    just hook it up via hdmi,

    set output on sky box to 1080i in picture menu.

    ignore the rgb bit thats only for the scart input.and you shouldnt be using that.

    Dont set the tv to Dynamic.

    I have a 50 inch 1080P LG Plasma, if I set the picture output to auto the EPG looks fairly ropey.

    Set it to 1080i and it looks pin sharp.

    As the poster above me said, don't worry about RGB if you have the TV connected via HDMI (which you should)

    Did you set it up or did the Sky engineer?

    Bog standard HDMI cable that came with the Sky box is just fine.

    Is there a SCART cable connected from the Sky box as well?
