Does anyone notice horizontal lines during transition scenes? It the whole screen, very faint and I only seem to notice then during commercials.

Yes, it appears to be an articaft of the cable network's use of 1080i instead of 1080p. The artifact does not show up under BluRay which is 1080p. (Just in case you didn't know, the "i" is an interlaced picture scan - only every other line is sent for one picture frame. Rapid transitions force the unsent lines to be seen as blank lines. (Very simple explanation, but it'll suffice for now.)

No I haven't seen this problem. I really love the tv and would recomendt to a friend.

Hi Jason, I tested it at 100" screen (wall yet) with no notice about pixelation. Nothing visible. Enjoy it!

my screen seems to have a glossy finish to it in the off position. Sometimes I might not get the clearest picture due to the equipment by my service provider. I have noticed the picture would get choppy from time to time due to the signal.

We've been experiencing it off and on for about 6 months. Two nights ago, it was really bad...today...its not there. It comes and goes. In our case its a blue stripe. We've seen it whether its coming from the cable box or bluray player. I haven't played with it too much, so I don't have a pattern of what it does and how to defeat it. I'd like a comment from Panasonic. Our TV was 5 years old at Christmas.

I have occasional instances where the screen will turn snowy and back. it can do this repeatedly. seems to be only on HD channels. when I go to a non-HD and back it typically stops. Still, no idea why it would do this. Did you get a resolution for this?

So does this mean my "WIDESCREEN" dvds will be stretched? I purposely bought WIDESCREEN versions of my DVDs because I like them exactly as the theater and I don't mind the top/bottom black bars even when viewing them on my widescreen HDTV (37" panasonic plasma). Any more info would be great. Thanks!

Nope never noticed any thing like that. Check your TV settings, in the burn in protection settings there is a setting called pixel shift, its turned on by default it moves the picture a small amount every couple of minuets to protect from burn in's. I suppose your settings could be off the default settings are pixel shift: on, Horizontal: 4, vertical: 4, time: 4 min. This probably your problem you could try turning it off at your own risk as you may have a higher chance of burn in's and most likely image retention. You payed good money though if that doesn't fix it return it! Samsung is know for problematic plasma tv's. I wish you the best! Nope never noticed any thing like that.

Not sure ? When my TV went out, it started with horizontal lines across the full screen to not turning on at all !

I'm sorry, but 120Hz looks like poop. It gives movies and TV a weird shimmer about it. I'm well aware of why this occurs and what is happening within the TV, but this is not something I need to just "get used to". I want my movie to look like it did when I saw it in the theaters (obviously scaled down a tad, but that's a different topic), but 120Hz give all the fast movement in the picture an unnatural feel, and looks nothing like the original. I may be alone in my stance, but 120Hz just doesn't sit right with me or my eyes, and it never will.

I'm curious how the computer linked with to the large plasma screen looks. I would think that 1024 x 768 on such a large screen might look a bit fuzzy or pixelated. Do you see problems with this? Would you recommend going for a higher resolution?

I do not have any lines (light or dark) anywhere on the screen. Sounds like it maybe a defective unit.

I went into menu/source" and changed the input to "HDMI". The line went away!!If you dont have HDMI, change the input source to whatever you are using. This should get rid of the line.You should not see the line in any setting e.g. 16:9, 4:3, just scan etc.

I am also experiencing the "green lines" in 1080p. It looks good in 1080i. I called Philips support and the rep was trying to convince me that my Samsung LN40A550 LCD was not 1080p and I should call Samsung to see why I am seeing green lines. I was also very surprised when they said nobody has ever reported this issue. He had me upload the latest firmware but my unit already had the latest. I tried anyways and it didn't do anything.Anybody solved this problem yet?

Thanks for the reply. Please let us know if you are experiencing any of the freezing or color problems we've been seeing in the forum posts.

The unit we have is bright and crisp. I am happy with the screen, so I'm thinking you may have a faulty screen.

More info... black bars on the top and bottom are normal, even on a widescreen tv.

If you are looking for a response from a technical perspective, I am unable to provide an answer for you. However, from a lamen's persepective, I was able to view the screen with no visual indication of the pixels. The images were all clear. I hope this is helpful.
