Marcello I can only confirm what Thomas wrote. I think the default outputformat definition for PNG in p.mapper is 8-bit PNG, which is unsuitable for data like satellite or aerial images since it has only 256 colors. For imagery data you need to use either 24-bit PNG or JPEG. The first has the advantage of better quality for overlaid vector data, the second the much smaller file size that is transfered to the users.
Therefore the "altImgFormat" exists as alternative format in case a certain layer is activated. So you could use e.g. PNG-8 for vector only data, and PNG-24 or JPEG when the Landsat layer is activated. See also a coarse description of output format and layers here http://svn.pmapper.net/trac/wiki/FaqTips#Optimizationimageoutputformat: I would guess the default PNG format for Mapserver (if not defined differently via the map file) is PNG-24, and thus you get a good quality image from Mapserver CGI.
