Sounds very strange. I would have assumed whatever settings you had for FIFA10 that made it look good would have been fine for any game. I remember playing COD4 on my Samsung 40" and I had to tweak the settings as the game was a bit darker than others (I think...) then I just kept those settings for the rest of the games.

i mean like the edges of people and objects have like the squareish edges and stuff i never seen them on my old normal tv or on my friends etc...anyone that got a 8404 had this problem and fix it?

Are you running the TV in Game mode? Click the 'Options' button on the remote, select 'picture and sound', then select 'smart settings' and then choose 'Game'.

Sounds like aliasing to me or lack thereof in the game

I remember thinking the same thing when I played Tom Clancy's GRAW on the xbox 360 for the first time. Jaggies everywhere.

Doubt its the TV by your description, I doubt there is much you could do to the TV settings to get rid of this. It's just the game I'd say.

Hi Marko91

I take it you have it plugged into some form of external antenna?
at the very least you'll get the channels you listed (plus you should beable to grab the MPEG4 test channels)

Do the TV and yourself a favour hook it up to Sky or best yet Sky HD and let it strut it's stuff!

Cheers

Unless you've plugged in an aerial/set of rabbit ears I don't believe you'll pick up any channels. Once you plug in a source press "Picture" and scroll down to Installation -> Channel -> Automatic Installation and it'll find and store them for you. You can re-order and rename later by pressing OK when on a channel and using Options

My 7404 picked up the channels no problem. Watching Sky here via a wireless video sender and I'm surprised how well the tv displays it! (House I rent doesn't have sky upstairs)
