Serviio

Picture is great with broadcast on new Vizio, but awful when streaming. I've tried changing settings on TV and no luck. Is there something I can change with Seviio or have I purchased a TV that just doesn't mesh

I have a smaller Vizio in my home office (24"), and I'm not impressed with its DLNA abilities. Of course, this is a very inexpensive set that I mainly bought for monitoring broadcast TV, as well as a second computer monitor when I want an expanded desktop. At least with my set, it requires transcoding for practically all my files. Perhaps yours is being transcoded when it's not necessary. What happens if you use the Generic profile, which does not transcode anything? Will anything play, and if it does, does it look ok?

Whoops. I missed that. Sorry

I am assuming you are using the same connection method between the BD player and TV (HDMI?). There shouldn't be anything different in the appearance between the two sets unless the TV settings are out of whack. Some sets can have different settings for each input. That could explain the difference between broadcast TV and the HDMI input.

If you play a Blu Ray disc does it look ok? How about some other streaming source, such as Netflix (again using the BD player)? Does the Sony recognize the proper resolution for the TV? It should automatically set itself to 1080p output, but who knows?
