... my brand new $ 600. LG 42 inch LED
seems to provide a poorer picture quality than the

It's fed by a Bell Expressvue satellite dish.
Or is it just a matter of my eyes adjusting to the change ?

Do you have an HD receiver? If not, the picture is not up to top
quality. You should see a definite difference compared to a CRT.


... ahhh .. gulp .. nope.
Just an old regular sat receiver ..
I got a feeling I'm not finished spending money quite yet ..

I have no experience with this, but maybe there's a TV setting for
standard definition signals that would improve the picture with the
current receiver.

I don't mean that the setting would give you HD. Only that it would
give SD as good as you used to get. If there is such a setting.
