Poor Image with Standard Definition TV

"I purchased this TV, Pioneer PDP-5020FD, and Im returning it due to poor picture quality. I know that sounds crazy, but read on.

"If your budget allows, this is BY FAR the best plasma you can get at J&R (Pioneer Elite is a step above, but not available at J&R and quite a bit more expensive).
