I don't know if this is the right place to ask this question, but I'll
ask it anyway. I just bought a $2,000 dollar Sony 40" 1080 LCD tv
(Sony KDL-40V2500). We don't have an HD box, but do have some nice
Monster cables and all of that stuff. When I hooked up my DirectTV box
to the tv, the picture quality is absolutely horrible, even worse than
my old crappy tv. The dvd's look pretty good, but nothing like it did
in the store.

When I turn on a dvd it flashes 480i in the left corner. I'm not a
genius, but isn't that pretty bad? How do i get the resolution higher
than that? Anything will help. Thanks in advance.

Didn't it come with a manual?

Yeah, but it doesn't explain how to change it. I read every page. It
just says it supports all of those resolutions. Its very annoying!

Doesn't it have a Menu button?

Yeah, there's nothing in the menu that has to do with the resolution,
though.
