You are taking content that was for sub 30 inch displays and magnifying it on a 55 inch screen to see all the warts and issues SD content has.
I know that folk want to see this old stuff on the big screen so enjoy seeing it all. Or run it on a screen size you had way back then.
Hey all, I need your help! I just bought a new Samsung UN55J6300 and though I quite like its picture for normal viewing, it suffers badly specifically when watching non-HD content and some sporting events. For example, when watching any show in hd, the picture is sharp and fluid however when it shifts to showing footage from an older game (while watching sports), the picture is terribly grainy, patchy and almost pixelated. As well, sporting events such as baseball suffer from patchiness when the came shifts from a clear up close shot to the entire field. Is this an issue related to upscaling and should I adjust my settings somehow? I don't notice judder or motion blur, just poor picture quality (especially during baseball and football, with hockey being just fine). Is this an issue with the tv itself meriting an exchange? It's post season baseball and I'm going crazy with this picture quality (let alone it's a brand new tv and one that I quite like during tv shows and films). Please let me know what you think as I value all of your experience and expertise.
