new one is 60" vs 32" on the bedroom tv, but standing up close to the bedroom tv still looks sharper than 10' away on the 60".

this is a brand new TV since the PC build-that was 42", so it's significantly larger. my picture is set to Screen Fill, though none of the other settings are that sharp.

when gaming or on the smart tv menu, it looks amazing.

From the descriptions here, it may be the 720p I'm getting from Cox, which is pretty disappointing if that's what I'm stuck with on this new tv.

one more thought. when i purchased my onkyo, it defaulted to some kind of 'image optimization' crap..i can't even remember what it was called.

looked like hell and i thought my tv was going out.

when i found it, it was a simple setting on/off and the picture immediately looked perfect again.

so, i guess what i'm saying is maybe there's a factory setting you missed in the CNET calibration process you went through..maybe its not even your TV at all but your AVR.

are you running cable directly into tv or through an AVR?
