The picture on this TV set is poor

Question

Hello,In this sentence I''m trying to say that the signal is weak and therefere the picture is bad (maybe it snows). Is it correct to say: "The picture on this TV set is poor"?Thank you

Yes.

Hotmale · Answer

Thank you. Can I omit "set"?

Mister Micawber · Answer

Yes, and also 'on this TV'.

Hotmale · Answer

But when I say "The picture is poor" would I convey the meaning that I'm talking about TV and not about a painting?

Mister Micawber · Answer

Of course.  You would say it while standing in front of the TV set.
