    Hi there,
    I recently bought a samsung UE40D5520 tv, the picture is ok watching UPC but wen I play the Xbox the quality is terrible, blocky, pixilated and looks like playstation 2!! Not wat I was expecting at all as it looks beter on the 22 inch flat screen I used to play on, I have it hooked up with a hdmi cable
    Any suggestions would be greatly appriciated

    Have you got the console set to more than 480p in the console settings?

    Exactly, go into the display settings on the console and choose either 720p or 1080p

    Ye I have tried that, the console is set to 720 if I set it to 1080i it doesn't work at all the screen becomes completely distorted and weird, I'm wondering if it could be the console itself? Or could it be the hdmi cable? Do different cables giv a different picture? I also Hooked up a Bly ray DVD player, the quality isn't great for this either I was watching tron and there was so much blurring it was almost impossible to watch but then I watched Madagascar 2 and it was brilliantly clear, at a loss because iv messed around with all the settings??

    when the xbox is connected press the info button on the remote,
    it should display what resolution the tv is receiving, let us know what it is,

    also if the tv has a game picture mode you should enable that when playing the xbox,
    and looking a the spec of that tv its 1080p, you should have your xbox set to output 1080p aswell

    The info button says 1920 x1080@60 hz
    I think it's running Ok now since I messed around with some settings and these things and it seems to have helped alrite, only problem is now wen I watch sky go on the tv through the Xbox there is considerable flickering on the screen? Is this because sky go only supports 720p wen I put it back on 720 from 1080 it stops this, bit annoying swiching them but I can live with it!
