Went to Comet and Currys yesterday and noticed that they have the new HD boxes in hooked up to a Sony 32" 1080i LCD and a Panny 26" 720 screens.
I put the BBC HD preview channel on and I have to say that it look pants. I couldn't tell the difference between normal sky channels and HD. The Sky box was plugged directly into the TV via hdmi cable and the Sky box was set to 1080 but the picture was quite blocky and not what I would expect from HD.
I remember seeing the HD demos that they used to have in Dixons when they first come out and these were much better. I thought that it might have been the set up but to be the same poor quality in both stores using different screens.
In fact all the LCD's in the shops looked rubbish, blocky and grainy (i know that the signal is shared) and this has really put me off buying an LCD TV in the future.
Has anyone else got experince of LCD TV's and picture quality? I was just reading Graham's thread and it seems that he is having similar problems!
