• Black Objects And Backgrounds On My LCD TV Keep Shifting Shades
• If the black color displayed on your LCD TV keeps shifting shades or colors, you need to get your TV serviced.To arrange a service appointment, call Samsung Customer Care at 1-800-Samsung (1-800-726-7864). Have the model number and serial number of your TV on hand when you call.
• The Picture On My LCD TV Is Blurry.
• The standard cable channels or standard over-the-air (OTA) channels often appear fuzzy or blurry on your LCD TV because of a fundamental mismatch between the resolution capability of your TV and the resolution of the signal transmitted by your cable company or OTA broadcaster. The signal you are getting from your cable company is a low definition 480i signal, with a resolution of approximately 640 by 480. In most cases, your LCD TV is a high definition TV with a resolution capability of 1366 by 768, 1440 by 900, or 1920 by 1080. It is this mismatch between the standard cable or OTA signal resolution and the TV resolution that causes the problem.Fixing the Problem
• There are two ways you may be able to fix the blurriness problem:
• Using the Sharpness function
• If you have a cable box, by changing the connections

Both are described below.

If the picture on your LCD TV is blurry, you may be able to clear it up with the Sharpness function. To use the Sharpness function on most Samsung LCD TVs, follow these steps:

1. Turn on your TV.
2. Press the Menu button on your remote. The Main menu appears.
3. Press the Up or Down arrow button on your remote to select Picture, and then press the Enter button. The Picture menu appears.
4. Press the Up or Down arrow button on your remote to select Custom, and then press the Enter button. The Custom menu appears.
5. Use the Up or Down button on your remote to select Sharpness.

   Note: On some model LCD TVs, you use the Enter button to select Sharpness.

1. Use the Right arrow button on your remote to increase the sharpness.
2. Press the Exit button to exit. 

If you have a cable box and the picture on your LCD TV is fuzzy or blurry, chances are you have it connected to your cable box using the Composite (standard, AV, Cable) or S-video connections. These are the lowest quality connections.

To improve your picture, try connecting your LCD TV to your cable box using the Component (Pb, Pr, and Y) connections. If you have digital cable or you receive over-the-air digital programs, try adding digital DVI or HDMI connections. Examples of a DVI connection, an HDMI connection, and the Pb, Pr,and Y Component connections are below:

Component and DVI connections carry video only. If you choose the Component or DVI connections, you must also connect the Left and Right Audio out on your cable box to the appropriate Left and Right audio in jacks on your TV. HDMI carries both video and audio. If you choose HDMI, you need to connect only the HDMI cable.

Note 1: If your cable box doesn't have Component, DVI, or HDMI connections, contact your cable company to see if they have replacement boxes with these kinds of connections built in. Also, connecting using DVI or HDMI will only help on the digital channels.

Note 2: If you connect using DVI or HDMI, you must also leave your Composite (AV) or S-Video connections intact to receive standard, analog stations.

Important: If you add connections, make sure you use the Source button on your remote to change to the appropriate video source when you watch your TV.
