SKY Q PICTURE QUALITY

[stevetugby]

Hi, Satellite picture quality on our LG

Tv is not great and far inferior  to the Sky Netflix feed on the same TV (picture quality is also better on 15

Year old small Samsung upstairs on multi room). We are thinking of changing the TV as I have tried all settings but just wondered if it was

Worth trying a decent Hdmi cable rather than the one Sky supplied.

I can see contradictory information 

With regard to this on previous posts.

Any advice appreciated

Hi @stevetugby 

Unlikely to be due to HDMI lead.  As they are digital signals HDMI cables either work or show nothing.

It's not a 'Sky Netflix feed': it's just Netflix.

Netflix Premium over decent internet bandwidth could certainly be 'better' quality than a satellite-delivered channel: for a start the Netflix material may well be native UHD with HDR, which almost no satellite content is.

Are you using SD, HD or UHD satellite content when you make the comparison with Netflix? SD will look terrible on any large screen. I assume the Samsung is smaller than the LG? What model is it?

There's no credible contradictory information on HDMI cables on here.  Anyone who says it's worth upgrading them to improve picture quality is wrong / has been duped.

Lg is 42inch and Samsung is much smaller but sky q set to HD or uhd.

When sky engineer came he was surprised at the picture quality and tbh my freind with sky q and a Samsung gets an excellent picture so

I guess time for a new TV and no point 

In changing the hdmi. Thanks for your help

Yeah sounds like it. If you have the model number, could check its rep.

HD at 42" should look great.

Had same issues with new 65" lg c3 really poor quality and very disappointed  😞 

Sky out and told me handshake issues and swap to sky stream...didn't help

Played with settings and found..

Go to any mode filmmaker is best Brightness Auto Dynamic Contrast OFF.

Gamma BT.1886 Video Range Auto.

Colour Gamut Auto Detect.

Turn all settings in clarity to OFF

And turn TrueMotion to User Seletion

I found turning De-Judder 4 and De-Blur to 0 sorted my issues also turn Smooth gradation to Low 

Apply to all inputs 

Worked for me hope this helps many 🙏 x
