Your LCD is faithfully revealing how crappy your source signal is. If you're feeding subpar analogue off air signal, there's something wrong with the TV if that signal looks good.

At least try feeding your TV some 1080i upconverted DVD player signal before you make a judgment. Much better yet, try some real 1080i High Definition signal somehow.

If you're unable to provide high quality signal, then you really should return your LCD and stick with what works in your environment.

Also, your "fish bowl" comment tells me you're using some of the zoom type of function. Never use those b/c you are now making your crappy source signal much, much worse by stretching it out of proportion and blowing them up.
