Purchased an 65" LG OLED 4K UHD HDR TV. Due to extremely poor picture quality with our X1 box, Xfinity sent me a 4K UHD box (XG1v4-A). Unfortunately, the picture quality was worse on the 4K box than it was before on the X1 box. The HD channels look terrible - SD at best. We are able to stream Prime Video channels at 4k resolution and they look amazing. Clearly there is an issue with the cable. Tried replacing HDMI cable - no improvement. We even had a tech come out, replace a splitter and then proceed to tell us that there was nothing else he could do. The picture quality was no better. Grainy/pixelated/blurry HD channels. So incredibly disappointing...
each new device attached by HDMI will need to have the TV settings (some examples: brightness, backlight, contrast, sharpness...) adjusted for the best picture. A 4k TV basically is 4 1K 1080p screens 2 tall by 2 wide. the 720p or 1080p output must be magnified/zoomed by 4 times to fill the screen. generallly the TV does a better job at scaling, however you can try both the cable box at 4k output put the TV in 1080p mode and let the TV upscale (enlarge/zoom) the image. be sure all 'motion' related settings are off for the cable set top box.
