Enable QAM Tuner for Better Picture & HD Channel Support
Got this TV on thanksgiving night for $98 to use in an extra room. First one I received had a bad pixel but Amazon sent a new one to me really quick - be sure to check for stuck / dead pixels on your unit after initial setup.
Once I received the 2nd unit, I hung it on the wall rather easily as the TV is so light. Then I hooked it up to the cable coax, I was off and running. The picture was not so great and I wasn't getting high def channels. After a bit of googling, I found that the tuner necessary to get high def channels without a cable box comes disabled on this TV. After enabling the tuner it makes a giant difference. The TV goes from kind of washed out to looking great. (see below for directions)
As far as the hardware goes, the tv is light, has a small bezel and is pretty good. The remote is kind of weak and feels flimsy but it does the job.
How to enable QAM using the remote:
1. Press Menu button
2. Press 0 four times
3. Select "Others"
4. Select "Other settings"
5. Select "Cable QAM"
6. Enable QAM
7. Press Exit button
8. Press Menu
9. Select Channels
10. Rescan channels
