you should really try to keep the discussion on this tv (that I think you've had for months) restrained to one thread so people don't have to ask you the same questions or repeat comment over again.
If I understand correctly, you are watching Analog programming on this 42" HD tv? in that case you will always see pixels. there is nothing you can do about it.
Is there no HD programming available to you from your cable company?
Trying to get any reviews on 42" Sceptre lcd from Costco. I cannot be the only one who bought one. I can see the pixels at 4-5 ft. and don't know if this is normal on a 42" screen. Did not have this on my 37" set.I see fine lines on a diagonal. don't know if there is any adjustment for this or not? The set doesn't seem bad. Sound is pretty good and some analog broadcasting is pretty good. Am I expecting too much from this set without going into another grand for a different brand? That's not going to happen. I am considering downsizing to a 37" again. Appreciate any input.
