Seeing you have just bought the TV i'm guessing you haven't calibrated the picture and left it on default settings? This is something you shouldn't do on an LCD.

My advice is to:-

1. Turn the back light down to something in the range of 4/10
2. Reduce the sharpness of the picture to something like 3/10
3. Reduce the Colour or increase it depending what you think looks right
4. Don't sit too close to the screen, a distance of approximately 10ft is good for that size screen.

As Graham says you are viewing in SD so you really need an HDMI source as this will upscale SD broadcasts and allow you to view HD content although this isn't free on SKY like it is on Virgin.
